The crust was the perfect combination of crispy on the bottom and chewy on top. The sauce and toppings were excellent and every pizza gets topped with the freshest basil leaves pulled right off the little sprigs. We were lucky enough to sit at the counter which gave us a fabulous view of the staff, ovens and prep area. I can not stress enough how delicious the food was. The Caesar salad was by far the best I've ever had. The head of romaine was precisely cut into equal slices and the dressing was tucked inside, the shredded cheese and finely grated croutons were generously sprinkled on top. It was truly fantastic. We finished with a mixed order of 6 small cannolis, three were traditional and three had fresh strawberries blended in the cheese filling for a delicious twist on a long time favorite. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and really seemed delighted that we chose Tutti for our dinner. There's a designated parking lot so no need to worry about downtown parking problems. Tutti has been added to my short list of favorite pizza in Charleston. Check it out soon. I'm confident you will not be disappointed.

We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and the service did not match our past experiences. Our usual waitress Nadia was not there and she always makes us feel so welcome and taken care of. This time our server was very inattentive. We had to ask for water refills and were not offered fresh plates after finishing our salad. We had to request them ourselves! She only checked on us once even though the restaurant was pretty empty. It was disappointing because we have had such great experiences here before. The food is still fantastic but the service was terrible. Yuck!

I love the inside decor, reminds me of a restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. There is a fantastic long bar to sit at, and the cocktail service is top notch. I always enjoy the Last Word here, while my husband enjoys the negroni sour. On our recent visit we enjoyed the Stretch Armstrong pizza. We were pleasantly surprised by the tomato sauce, and that stracciatella cheese was perfect gooeyness of flavor. We shared a beautiful lettuce salad, but it did not appeal to us; too much frisee. Entrees though were the stars, I had the mafalde with heritage pork and veal bolognese. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and its cut easily held the bolognese sauce. There was a delightful spiciness to it also. Then my husband had the cacio e pepe bucotini. This rich sauce was made with plenty of butter, parmigiana reggiano and pecorino romano. Yum! With all that we had to end with dessert, and we enjoyed the zabaglione and cherry chocolate budino. The budino was the winner, with delicious cherries hidden inside the thick chocolate dessert. We've also enjoyed espresso martinis before, but did not order tonight. Melfi's is a gem of Italian elegance in flavor, service and ambience. We will continue to return and experience it again.

My husband and I are big fans of early dinner lol. When we got there before 5pm it was pretty empty so we got sat right away. The main reason we tried this place is because I have a recently discovered that I have a soybean oil allergy and this restaurant is seed free. When we got sat, they brought over bread right away which was really delicious. I got a glass of Pinot grigio for a drink, and by the way the wine pour is very generous. We ordered mozzerella sticks for an app, for an entree I got the rigatoni with vodka sauce (the none spicy version make sure to ask for that if you don't like spicy things) with burrata. I also asked for crispy breaded chicken on top which wasn't on the menu but they added it no problem. My husband got the carbonara. The mozzerella sticks were decent maybe a 3/5...I wish they had a bit more salt. The batter tasted kind of bland. But it was crispy and cheesy. The rigatoni was amazing though, the pasta was cooked perfect not too al dente. The burata made everything creamy, they put a large piece of crispy chicken on it as well which was delicious. I would definitely order it again. My husband loved his carbonara. We are as much as we could and still had left overs which we ate the next day. Side note: for parking don't bother trying to find street parking, just use the parking garage near by. It's an easy walk and cheap. Also either come early or make a reservation because there was a line of people waiting when we left and it filled up quickly after 5pm.

It is completely worth the price and enough for 2 people to split to feel better about the spend. The lumache Nero had a solid kick to it and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. For dessert, we chose the olive oil cake and tiramisu. I'd definitely order the cake again especially to taste that lemon curd again! The interior is dimly lit, great for a date night or special occasion. There's an open kitchen so you can watch the food being cooked along with a large bar. Service was fantastic and welcoming from start to finish.

Very think and cardboard tasting. They advertised a no cheese pizza for non-dairy consumers. It was a very thin layer of sauce with sporadic onions and peppers sprinkled throughout. You can't really go in and just order by the slice for the non dairy option, we had to buy it whole. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. Staff was an easy 5 stars.

So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.
