  • Good for special occasions

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.

    Great experience, there was a large party so they gave us the option to wait a few extra minutes to sit in a quieter, more remote area, which worked out perfectly. Very friendly and accommodating acknowledged a birthday we were celebrating with a glass of wine. We weren’t starving so we got a few plates to share which was perfect and everything was delicious.

    Enjoyed a nice evening in an old historic house. Food was good and they are one of the few restaurants that still serve bread! We enjoyed the wine list and especially the many by the glass options of Old World wines. We will be back!
