About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
This Charleston locals’ favorite is nestled away in a historic home in downtown Charleston. The charming restaurant and intimate bar are reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa, where Executive Chef, Josh Ogilvie, melds the cuisines of Italy, Spain, France, & Greece, featuring fresh preparations of Seafood, Fish, Savory Meats, Homemade Pastas, Homemade Bread, and Salads, all served by a warm and friendly serving staff. The extensive wine list complements the experience and offers 75 selections by the glass. The cozy bar empties out onto a terrace, offering outdoor dining and drinks. There are numerous menu items, which are gluten and dairy free and vegetarian, and there are vegan options as well.

    Not a place for a romantic dinner. They allow group dinners to be as loud as they want including hooping and hollering.

    A creative menu with great service from the waitstaff. The wine we ordered was unavailable and Donnie replaced it with a more expensive bottle of wine, at the same price as the one we originally ordered. Our dinner was superb. My spouse ordered a shrimp dish which she loved and I had spanakopita, which was delicious. Donnie knew many of the diners, so a lot of locals eat here. So glad we found this restaurant on Trip Advisor!

    The two chicken the fried chicken was making but the grilled chicken was tasteless. The gnocchi was ok. The Bolognese was just ok. I have had better at other places. Felt the pasta was too dry.
