Best Italian Restaurants in James Island

We came for my birthday and based upon recommendations and it was AMAZING!! Duck app is a must - and ask Donnie for his recommendations from the window. Better yet, let him order your meal! Charred brussels also very delicious! They also accommodated the gf requests of my dining companion. Definitely will come back!

Great experience. The salmon was perfectly cooked and a light cream sauce paired with risotto rounded out the dish.

We had a wonderful dinner at Vincent Chicco’s tonight! We had the smoked mozzarella and the mushrooms as appetizers, which were amazing. Our entrées were delicious as well. The service couldn’t have been better, the ambience was great, and the noise level was perfect, so we could carry on a conversation at our table. Highly recommend it! 

Indaco is a pasta lover’s dream come true! From start to finish, our meal was nothing short of exceptional. We began with the Caesar salad, which might just be the best Caesar I’ve ever had. Instead of the usual croutons, they used delicate crumbles of heaven that elevated every bite. It was so good, we ordered a second one before our pasta even arrived! The pasta dishes were equally outstanding. The tortellini and the black pepper tagliatelle (their incredible take on carbonara) were both cooked to perfection, with flavors that were rich, balanced, and utterly delicious. Each bite showcased the care and skill that goes into their pasta-making. Although we didn’t try the pizzas, we saw them being served to other tables, and they looked absolutely beautiful—definitely something to try on a future visit. To finish, we indulged in the classic tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Indaco is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates expertly crafted Italian cuisine. If you’re in Charleston, don’t miss it!
