Bacco

This refined eatery is probably the closest you can get to Italy without leaving Charleston itself. Here you'll find a market-driven menu of hearty Italian comfort food -- house-made mozzarella so fresh it comes to your table still warm from the kitchen, lasagna bolognese with béchamel, eggplant parmigiana, and heavenly cannolis. The Italy-centric wine list is exhaustive, but don't fret -- the hospitality here is unparalleled, and your server will be happy to help you find the perfect bottle to pair with your meal.
