My wife and I visited Melfi’s for her birthday a couple weeks ago and we had a great time here together and enjoyed our dinner a lot. The espresso martini was amazing here! Best one I’ve had so far. Melfi’s menu was amazing from their options and we wished we could’ve tried more, but we will have to next time.
The reason for me giving 4/5 stars is due to our service we received from our waiter. When he originally approached us he didn’t seem like he cared for us there, he didn’t ask what brought us into Melfi’s tonight when on the reservation I put in it was my wife’s birthday. We were not looking for anything free, but expected a higher level of good customer service at least and welcoming. Everybody else that assisted us from this other waitress who brought our food out and the manager was very nice to us. They made it pleasant there. Our waiter was extremely slow and showed no care in urgency. The table next to us when they sat down even noticed how our waiter was and we heard them talking about him which we were glad we weren’t the only ones. We felt like he knew he would get a tip and didn’t care about our dining experience.
That didn’t ruin our dinner at all, but something I definitely wanted to bring up especially for the amount of money we spent here. Overall, we enjoyed our food a lot, but the service we received from our waiter was not matching to our great food.

An absolute amazing experience. This was a great anniversary celebration for my boyfriend & I. Food was outstanding & the overall vibes were amazing. We will absolutely be back. That sort-of-spicy caesar salad is no joke - my favorite item!

The restaurant is hard to get in, so make sure you make your reservation beforehand. The service was great, my server was very friendly and attentive and ensured I liked the food. I took off a star because I think the food was overpriced.

Best food we had in Charleston by far. A very faithful Italian creation, served with care and enthusiasm, in a small but upscale setting. Would come back for sure.
Try the Porchetta!

Very good and worth a visit. The Spicy Caesar salad was one of the best things I've ever had. And the Stretch Armstrong pizza was fantastic. Solid Cocktails🍸. My only criticism was the pasta. They are good but the other offerings outshine them.
