The buratta was very good. It cane with roasted beets which was different (and tasty). I had the mushroom ravioli which was delicious and my wife had the shrimp scampi appetizer with a small Caesar salad. I didn't get enough of the shrimp to comment but since a didn't get more than a nibble from my wife, that tells you it was good. We ended with the cherry patch, which I loved. Basically a soft chocolate fudge bar with cherries in it and on top. With a coke, a glass of wine, and a cup of coffee the bill can to $104. The one down side is you have to pay for a basket of Chicago's fococia bread. I just can't get pay for bread at any restaurant, let alone an Italian one. Oh well.

For any mushroom lover, the Porcini Ravioli is a must. The Veal Chop Milanese was a generous portion with well-balanced flavors. The wine list was well priced and not overloaded with Italian wines, and the extensive bourbon selection made for an excellent nightcap. Everything was delicious, and I will return next time I am in Daniel Island. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

He was very professional, nice, and always had a smile. We tried the amazing stuffed mushrooms and deliciouspizza but will be back to try other items for sure!

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere had a charming, neighborhood feel—very cozy and reminiscent of a family-run place. I imagined an elderly grandmother bustling around the kitchen, making sure everything was just right. We ordered dessert to take home. When we got back (we walked), I realized my dessert wasn’t the classic cannoli I was expecting but something similar yet different. I’m a traditionalist when it comes to that particular dessert, so I was a bit disappointed. I called the restaurant to inquire and learned about a seasonal pumpkin cannoli mix-up. The owner/manager asked if I lived on the island, and when I said yes, mentioning we had just walked home, he immediately offered to send a driver with the correct dessert. Less than ten minutes later, a driver arrived with the right dessert—and even a small gift certificate as an apology! That thoughtful gesture was totally unnecessary but showed real class and dedication to their customers. I was very impressed, and we will definitely be returning soon.
