    Linguine with 6 baby clams
    Chrissy F.

    We've been meaning to check out Cane Pazzo for months! It's tucked in the corner of the Piggly Wiggly shopping plaza so parking is a'plenty. I love that finer dining areas exist beyond the downtown peninsula. With that being said, the staff did their best to provide excellent service and made sure our water cups were full and checked in on us. It's a good spot to celebrate engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, milestones..The ambiance feels like a study room library with Italian regalia. I enjoyed my aperol spritz and tried sips of my fiancés island drink, more frothy based. For the appetizer we tried the daily bread. The butter and herb center tied the appetizer together but the bread could be left in the oven to bake a little longer, felt raw and chewy. Our main dish my fiancé got the special of the day - a giant pork chop with dots of homemade gnocchi. Our side dish to share was the charred cabbage with fondue in between the leaves. For my main dish, I tried the linguini with local clams to which had about 6 in there. All their pasta is made in-house and our server was able to explain each one. I would say the one area that needs improvement is to scale back on the salt..our dishes were incredibly salty. It's hard because the pasta was cooked perfectly, but something in the sauce made it difficult to fully enjoy..felt like my mouth was pickling and kept downing cups of water to help with the saltiness. Overall give Cane Pazzo a try for yourself! They have a unique menu that's waiting for you to give it a chance and a crew that's eager to please.

    Contrary to other reviews, this place was packed and not noisy at all. Noise level was comparable to any other popular restaurant in Charleston. The ambiance was fabulous and the food was delicious. I will absolutely return.

    This is a hidden gem in Hanahan. Our friends had been here several times and we finally were able to come check it out. We've had some disappointing Italian food before so we were looking forward to this recommendation. The ambience was lively and it was a very busy night for a weekday. We sat near the kitchen, so we got to see the executive chef in his team work the service. I loved that the menu was smaller and had many unique options. We started off with some cocktails and wine. My husband particularly enjoyed the Aperol-spritz with passionfruit. Our server was very helpful and accommodating my husband's celiac allergy. We were able to still get a handful of things to try. But first, the daily bread was out of this world. Every bite was delicious! We got a bunch of things to share. We could really taste the quality and love they put in these dishes. Everything was very flavorful and cooked well. The royal shrimp in the gramigna nero was the most tender I have ever had. It was truly a beautiful dish. The blue crab risotto was cooked really well, we did wish we could have a little more crab, but they went out of their way to pan sear the artichokes for my husband to be able to eat it since he couldn't eat it fried. Don't sleep on the side dishes now, because the bok choy was nicely charred, and the fried potatoes were also great. We felt the amount we paid for definitely aligned with the quality of food and service we received. We can't wait to come back!

    Okay... this is our second time coming here and it is still fabulous. Admittedly our first visit was better than the second visit but still the best modern Italian restaurant around. The bread changes often and we liked the Parmesan butter one the best. Limited menu but still good selection of choices. Wait staff are professional and know their menu. The restaurant is small with a couple of bars. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time.

    We had a fantastic meal at Cane Pazzo and truly loved everything we ordered. We started with the meatballs and Italian salad both were excellent and set the tone right away. For mains, we tried the Duck Spring Onion Risotto (a special) and the casoncelli with duck, and honestly, every dish was a hit. Thoughtful flavors, beautifully prepared, and deeply satisfying. Also a major plus is working with local farms for the most fresh ingredients! Service was great throughout the meal attentive, friendly, and paced well. The only minor downsides were related to seating. We sat at a high-top table where wine was served in a stylish water glass rather than a traditional wine glass, which felt a bit off for the experience. Also, the view from our table wasn't ideal one of us had a direct line of sight to the parking lot and the Piggly Wiggly sign, which definitely broke the ambiance a bit. That said, the food and service were strong enough that we'd absolutely come back next time opting for the chef's table or dining room instead. Overall, a great meal and a place we'd happily revisit!

    Only appetizers and a beer but excellent service at the bar. Any those meatballs were divine. Some of the best I have ever had. I'm going back and hopefully soon.

    Fried Mozzarella (best ever!!!!)
    Lauren W.

    If you have not tried Cane Pazzo yet you need to go ASAP! When I tell you the food was incredible it is not an exaggeration. All the pasta is fresh! The fried mozz was the best I have ever had- unlike any other i have tried. The meatballs 10/10 absolutely delicious. The daily bread is a must. The kids meal was even delicious my son got the kids pasta with chicken and omg that chicken.... No words. I could go on and on how amazing the food was but really you just need to go try it for yourself. The service was incredible... everyone was so friendly!! Also, a beautiful restaurant. The ambiance was great. I loved the open kitchen. If you're looking for a new place to try this is it! This is in my top lists of restaurants around. New favorite spot!

    Service, ambiance, and food all lived up to the hype. What a gem in Hanahan! The restaurant is large but cozy and you can see into the kitchen. My water glass was never empty haha and service was friendly and thorough! They were very busy for a Thursday night but we still felt taken care of. We got the meatballs, bread service, mozzarella sticks, three pastas, steak, tiramisu, and gelato. Everything was delicious but if I had to choose a few from that order, I would get the meatballs, bread, filled pasta, steak, baked pasta, and gelato. The meatballs are a family recipe and have awesome flavor - sometimes I can be underwhelmed by meatball seasonings. The filled pasta was DELICIOUS and maybe the best part of the meal - autumn flavors with a tart but salty sauce - the perfect fall dish. And the banana gelato (and bday gelato for my bday!) was surprisingly good and creamy with salty cookie and dark chocolate/dulce de leche toppings. This is going to get a place in our regular rotation!

    One of the greatest Italian restaurants I've ever been too. The meatballs and daily is a must as an appetizer. Then make sure you get the chicken parm. The music, decor, everything is amazing!

    Cane Pazzo is the definition of a neighborhood gem--warm, lively, and full of kind, genuine service. The food blew me away from start to finish. The daily bread is easily one of the best things I've had in Charleston. I tried the crispy clam strips , gramigna, bucatini nero, and the agnolotti--which stole the show and might be my new favorite pasta anywhere. Everything feels thoughtful and well-crafted while being affordable. Between the glow of the oven, the buzz of the room, and a menu that celebrates both comfort and creativity, Cane Pazzo is a place I'll keep coming back to.

    I am SO, SO excited for this addition to Hanahan. I wanted to come twice before I wrote a review to make sure it wasn't a fluke and I am so happy to report it wasn't! I've dined twice - once on a date night and once for a family birthday celebration - and both times Cane Pazzo was phenomenal. We've ordered quite a few items from the menu but the can't-miss dishes are definitely anything on the specials board, the fried mozzarella, the meatballs, the agnolotti, the risotto (I had a nice tomato, n'duja, stracciatella version), tiramisu, and the entire cocktail/mocktail list. If the long beans are still on the menu, grab those also. We also really, really enjoyed the potatoes if you have room for a side! The pastas are all made in house and I love that even a "simple" dish feels elevated. I can't wait to come with my friends and order family style so I can try even more! I love the ambience and the staff. I love the food and the drinks. What a wonderful addition to the area! Do yourself a favor and stop in!

    Service was great, always refilling our waters and keeping them cold! Love the "Rat Pack" music inside, though it is a little loud inside, which is good for kids. Food was delicious, we came in mid-April so soft shell crab season was in full swing. Had the non-alcoholic lychee/ginger Yellow Ledbetter drink which was very refreshing. My only complaint is that the Lumache beef bolognese was a little light on the meat, though the sauce was very rich. Highly recommend requesting to add one of their delicious meatballs to increase the protein in the dish. My son had the soft shell crab pasta nightly special, he said the lemon pasta was a little too sour for his taste but I sampled some and I thought it was fine. My daughter said the marinara sauce of the kids pasta was a little spicy but she is somewhat overly sensitive. Will definitely come again!

    So excited to try out a local Italian spot that opened right outside of Charleston. Beautiful establishment located in a strip mall (do NOT let that prevent you from visiting). The interior was stunning and the view of the kitchen is a beautiful touch. There were so many mouth watering choices on the menu. The wood fired sourdough with white pimento was one of our favorites. Will be a must order any time we visit. Also had wood fired peppers, pasta, and added on the long beans at the last minute per the recommendation of our server. Everything was wonderful! Waitress and hostesses were very sweet. A bit loud- but again- worth it!

After talking with her, we decided on the Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken and the Pollo con Pepe. Since the restaurant was pretty empty for lunch on the weekend, we were a little unsure about the food. While we were waiting for our order, the server brought us our bread and butter. The bread and butter was really good, and it was a great start to our lunch. Soon, our plates arrived, which had pasta and a sandwich. We started with pasta and it was delicious! The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and smooth. My toddler also loved it. It was a great way to start our lunch. We also had the Pollo Con Pepe, which is our chicken sandwich.

The salads are great, the pizzas are great, and my favorite pork trifecta still hits the spot every time. With that being said, I have noticed some changes over the years. The meats on the pork trifecta have all changed and in my opinion, to a slightly lower quality. Obviously, prices and suppliers change over time at a business, but I do miss the old way they used to make it. I also have been getting a different cook on it each time. Sometimes it's got a heavy char all around and sometimes it's too light and no crunch. As I started with, I love EVO and will continue to go, but I hope they can get some consistency back to how they do their pies. It's not cheap and for that reason I expect a superior product.

    I initially called Vinny's Pizza to place an order over the phone, but the employee informed me…read morethat I would have to place the order online instead because they could not take my order by phone. I proceeded to place the order online as instructed. Although this immediately raised concerns about the organization and professionalism of the establishment, I put the order in as instructed hoped everything would be handled correctly from that point forward. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning of a very frustrating experience. After waiting approximately an hour and a half for delivery, my food finally arrived only to discover that the pizza, which was the main part of the order for four people, was completely missing. While I understand that mistakes can happen in a busy restaurant environment, the way the situation was handled afterward was extremely disappointing. I contacted the delivery driver to ask if perhaps the pizza had been left behind accidentally. Rather than showing any concern or willingness to help resolve the issue, the driver responded in a very rude and dismissive tone, stating, "That's all they gave me." When I asked whether there was a receipt attached to the order so we could verify what had been packed, he abruptly replied that there was no receipt and offered no further assistance. At this point, my frustration was understandable. It was already around 7 PM, and the food had been ordered for four people who had not eaten since earlier in the day. After the lengthy wait and incomplete delivery, I contacted the restaurant directly in hopes of resolving the issue professionally. The first employee who answered the phone appeared unsure of how to handle the situation and transferred me to another staff member. Unfortunately, the second employee was equally unprofessional and spoke in an irritated, dismissive tone that made it seem as though helping customers was an inconvenience. Rather than apologizing for the error or offering a reasonable solution, I was told that I would have to personally come back to the restaurant to pick up the missing pizza. I was also told they would "throw in a free pizza" for the inconvenience. Despite already waiting over an hour and a half for the original delivery, I drove to the restaurant myself only to wait yet again for the food to be prepared. When I finally received the order, I was handed a 16" sized cheese pizza along with the original pizza that had clearly been sitting out for nearly two hours. By that point, the food quality was noticeably compromised and no longer fresh. What made the experience even worse was the condition of the restaurant itself. The establishment appeared extremely unsanitary and poorly maintained. There were leaks coming from the ceiling with rags and buckets scattered around to catch the water, flies throughout the building, and an overall atmosphere that felt unclean and neglected. Combined with the rude customer service and mishandling of the order, the entire experience was incredibly disappointing. Overall, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. The lack of communication, poor attitude from both staff and delivery personnel, unacceptable wait times, and unsanitary conditions made the situation far more frustrating than it needed to be. I would strongly encourage improvements in customer service, order accuracy, and cleanliness standards moving forward.
