    Scarlet lamb
    Latoya L.

    My husband and I stumbled upon Legami after catching our sister's show at Forte Jazz Lounge just a few steps away, and wow... what an unexpected gem on King Street! For dinner, we ordered the Scarlet Lamb and the Southern Duck, and both dishes were absolutely phenomenal -- flavorful, beautifully plated, and cooked to perfection. We also started with the oysters, which were fresh and the perfect way to kick off the evening. The cocktails deserve their own applause because the "Mambo Italiano" and "Sailor's Moon" were crafted perfectly and paired beautifully with dinner. The ambiance was intimate, stylish, and upscale without feeling stuffy -- the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, enjoy the music, and stay awhile. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and added to the overall experience. Charleston has no shortage of amazing restaurants, but Legami truly felt like one of those hidden gems you're excited to tell people about after you discover it yourself. We'll absolutely be back.

    Wow! The chef leveled up on the lobster pasta dish. Rich in flavor, but still light. Don't skip the octopus and the burrata with pesto appetizers. The tiramisu was delicious for dessert and I will be talking about the perfectly dirty martini with burrata stuffed olives for days.

    Sat at the bar. Food was amazing!! I didn't get a picture of the hamachi but it was amazing. Loved the vibes, drinks and food. Bartender was amazing too

    I'm so sorry but I just had to make this review. The service itself was great. Our main server was great. The one at the front had a bit of an attitude but I understand. The place itself is beautiful and they had some of the nicest restrooms I've seen in a restaurant. BUT... getting brunch here was a massive mistake. Drove down to enjoy a meal to start the day, but that burger was awful and it honestly ruined my morning. This may have been the first time I've eaten something that caused me to vomit an hour later. I let the waiter choose my dish but I was confused on why I wasn't asked how I wanted the burger done. The burger tasted great but half way into it I realized the meat was REALLY pink. I made the assumption that the crew knew what they were doing and trusted the quality of the meat since (1) I wasn't asked how I wanted the meat done and (2) they made it this pink without any knowledge of my preferences. So, right after I ate the burger my abdomen started to hurt until I eventually puked it up. It resulted in about two to three hours of extreme pain and discomfort. That's how my morning went :)

    My first experience with Legami was good albeit a bit different. I had called ahead to see if they were accepting walk ins to which they said yes and if we came in the next 30 minutes that would be nonissue. When my friend and I arrived 30 minutes later per their request, mentioning we were walk-ins, they appeared a bit confused wouldnt wouldn't sit us without making a last minute reservation. We waited a few extra minutes while they punched in our Resy info before seating us. Not knocking them for this, I just thought the whole thing was odd. We originally came in for restaurant week but opted to try their regular menu. Both my friend and I ordered the oxtail ragu that was delicious! I also ordered two oysters as an app, the focaccia, and we each had a martini. Our server was nice and on top of everything. Overall the prices are fair, the atmosphere warm and dark. I would recommend dressing up for this experience. While there were people in leggings and ugg slipper I would save those for something a little more casual.

    Legami: delvers ambiance just as good as their pasta! Love ordering their dirty martini w the side car (aka coupe of olives) to start off the evening. Our server was incredible - friendly, attentive, and let us know the HH special for our next visit. $1 oysters and $15 plate of pasta! Such a spot for girl dinner, group dinner, date night, etc. we love the patio, but upstairs is great as well!

    Went there the other night with my girlfriend and had a great experience. We sat at the upstairs bar area which I would highly recommend. It felt lively but still intimate and was a great spot to settle in for the night. Food was excellent across the board. The scallop crudo was a standout and the duck was unreal. Honestly might be one of the best duck dishes I have ever had. Service was incredible without being over the top and the ambiance was spot on. Everything just clicked. Definitely a place I would go back to and recommend to friends.

    First night we went we sat at the bar, had perfect cocktails best Negroni s ever. Bartender, Rogan was amazing. We shared ravioli, also fantastic, again some of the best. We had reservations for the next evening . We were seated and the restaurant is beautiful, it truly is. Our food was phenomenal.. pan seared perfectly over a corn purée. The lobster pasta was delicious. We also shared a burrata appetizer which was fantastic. The dessert, a puff pastry with chocolate was underwhelming. Our server, Naomi was super friendly and very celebratory with a birthday (there was a sweet card and she brought bubbles and limoncello with dessert. I am giving 4 stars not 5 because it seems there was a little misstep in the flow of everything, the timing of entrees, having to send a drink back.. just a few little things. Maybe they had a few people off that night. The food was incredible and we will be back!

    Oh my goodness, this place was so good! I had the Roasted Chicken Agrodolce which was served over this sweet carrot crema. It was melt in your mouth good! My fiancé had the Pappardelle Al Ragu, he said the handmade noodles and sauce were to die for. We also enjoyed the Misticanza salad, but I thought the balsamic was a bit strong and the spiced honey ricotta packed a sweet heat punch to the Focaccia. I dont know if I would add on the ricotta again, I think focaccia is delicious on its own. We sat upstairs for dinner and it was a very romantic setting, but it was a bit loud in the room since there was a large table next to us, coupled with wood flooring. At times, I had to repeat myself to my partner across the table. However, I will say the service was great, our food came quickly and our server was knowledgeable on the food and changes they've made to the menu. I would definitely recommend this place to family + friends.

    Legami is an incredibly cute spot. The vibe and decor is 10/10. I love the different indoor and outdoor space they offer. Came here with some girlfriends and sampled a good amount of food which was all yummy. Random but the chicken was amazing. Not something I typically order but soooo good. The drinks were okay probably would just stick to food next time. One thing to note is I ordered the hamachi crudo and was served tuna. Then was informed that they do this when they run out of yellowtail. Didn't appreciate this.

    My fiancé and I were visiting Charleston and saw incredible reviews for Legami and were super excited to try it out! Atmosphere: the restaurant is super cute - great vibes! Very trendy and it was busy the entire time! Our waitress was awesome and super fun. Appetizer: we ended up getting the burrata appetizer and it was unreal. 10/10 would get again Main course: I ordered the ravioli and it wasn't anything spectacular, especially not for the price. I was expecting a super "wow" sauce and it sorta tasted like tomato paste. It wasn't bad by any means, I just think I expected more. They also ran out of lobster after we had ordered so my fiancé had to switch his meal.. but he ended up loving his food (I forget what he even got... oops) Overall, it was a nice place. But the ravioli was subpar compared to the rest of the meal and experience.

    Amazing food & even better service. Naomi was the best and my lobster dinner was amazing. She was so informative of everything on the menu and beyond attentive. Will definitely be back again!

    Beautiful plates

    Legami is new to Charleston, so we had to give it a try. I love that they have a GF pasta option and their braised oxtail ragu was fantastic as a GF option. Their dirty martini needs some work. It was cloudy, or too dirty. We started with the burrata, which was good but not the usual burrata consistency. It was more like mozzarella. The octopus app was on the smaller size Justin called it "super skimpy". We did love the atmosphere and had a great server! Overall a fun experience with friends.

    My husband and I were in town visiting Charleston and made a reservation at Le Farfalle after doing…read morea bit of research on the best Italians spots. Le Farfalle did not disappoint. The star of the show was the whipped ricotta- I would go back just to have it again! We also enjoyed the Fusilli Lunghi (personally would not get again, but I think this was just my personal taste buds) and the Rigatoni Verde (delicious)! Very intimate little spot and our server was incredible- very personable! Will definitely be back!

This was actually one of the few restaurants we didn't reserve before our trip, and because of its popularity, the best reservation time we could get was 8:30 p.m. After eating there, I can see why it's so popular. The late reservation was absolutely worth it. We walked to the restaurant from our hotel, and with the later reservation time, the weather was perfect for an evening stroll through Charleston. It ended up being a really enjoyable walk both to and from the restaurant. Service throughout the evening was excellent. Our waiter did a great job all night. As we were ordering, he mentioned that the chefs prefer that guests place their entire order at one time and that the kitchen would pace everything appropriately. My wife and I usually like to stagger our order because we don't like feeling rushed, but we went along with their recommendation. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out quite as planned. Our bruschetta came out quickly, and not long after, the kitchen sent over a complimentary braised artichoke appetizer. Soon to follow came the Caesar salads. Before we knew it, we had two appetizers and two salads on the table all at once. This was a disappointment because it made the meal feel rushed and took away a little from what was otherwise a special evening. We mentioned it to our waiter, and he was extremely apologetic. The restaurant did their best to make things right. They continued to check on us throughout the evening to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Our waiter brought each of us a complimentary plum spritz, and treated us to dessert. That level of service and attention did not go unnoticed. Both of us ordered the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, and it was really good. The chicken was crispy, just the way I like it, the marinara sauce was excellent, and the spaghetti made for a great accompaniment. We finished with the pistachio cheesecake. Yum, yum. Even though the pacing of the first part of the meal wasn't ideal, the food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent. We'd definitely go back the next time we're in Charleston.
