- PPatrickSouth Carolina •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoBirthday night. We went with a couple that had never been in before and were a little intimidated by the menu. We chose 5 dishes including kaarge, miso noodles, stir fried veggies and a crab Rangoon ball special. They loved it all! Service was amazing and super friendly. We will return very soon!More infoJackrabbit FillyPrice: Moderate• Chinese• North Charleston•4.9
- TTerrySouth Carolina •2 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoFratellos is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. The food is excellent from appetizers to entrees to desserts. It has some of the best Italian food in Charleston. Their menu runs from gourmet to standard but excellently prepared Italian classics. A decent wine list and great specialty cocktails. The interior decor is sophisticated, yet unpretentious. The noise level can get pretty high when the restaurant is fairly full. Tables and chairs are very close to each other so if you’ve got a loud person or group close to you it can be irritating. There’s not a whole lot of sound absorption in the restaurant. The service is very good. The servers are attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant.More infoFratello's Italian Tavern - Park CirclePrice: Moderate• Italian• North Charleston•4.7
