Legami is a new restaurant on king street. It is very spacious and very well decorated. The drink I had was very delicious! The food was my least favorite thing about this place, unfortunately. The crudo was drowned out by the sauce and the risotto was hard. The servers were kind and knowledgeable. Overall, I think legami is still figuring some things out, but will definitely be a contender in the future for a great place to eat. read more

My party of four came to Legami on Friday (3/20) on a whim after our reservation at another restaurant fell through and they couldn't accommodate us. Just 20 minutes before arriving, my boyfriend had proposed to me, and we still wanted a place to celebrate. We were walking around and spotted Legami, and decided to take a chance on it. They were able to seat us despite not having a reservation. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere on the second floor felt warm, cozy, and comfortable. It was exactly what we needed for such a special night. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name, all I know is he had a mustache) was fantastic and gave us great recommendations throughout the evening. We shared the burrata to start. My mother-in-law and I had the Tortellini Wagyu, my now fiancé had the Sachetti, and our friend ordered the Pollo Alla Milanese. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and crème brûlée. I had the Shhh! Club Above cocktail, my fiancé had the Legami Martini (which I also tasted), and we all enjoyed the Masca Del Tacco "Piano Chiuso", which the sommelier recommended. Everything, including the limoncello, was absolutely perfect. The portions were on the smaller side but surprisingly filling. The drinks were excellent, and even though I typically don't like martinis, I loved this one. It was sweet, slightly spicy, and very smooth without being overpowering. The food and service made an already unforgettable night even more special, without them even knowing the occasion. We're visiting from Jersey, which makes us even more appreciative of how memorable this experience was. We hope to come back in the future. Thank you for such a great dinner! read more

Our first visit to Legami for a pre Symphony bite. Our seat at a two top table was so close to the other tables our elbows almost touched. We couldn't help but hear all of our neighbors conversation. The food was disappointing to say the least. The salad appetizer was blah and the two entrees we ordered (lobster risotto and oxtail ragu) lacked taste. The service was adequate. We will not be returning. read more

The service was great and the restaurant is gorgeous! The dirty martini is spicy and I was not a fan unfortunately. I also think the pasta was not good for the price. read more

Had a great time here. The staff was friendly and efficient and they have a super helpful somalia. Amazing food and pasta, we got the focaccia with butter as an appetizer as well. Scrumptious. Our sever himself was reallyyyy animated. I don't know if that's his bit or what but it was just a little odd. He was attentive and fine just really intense. They have a cool patio and the house gave us limoncello to sip on after our meal which was super sweet and we had a wonderful time. Thanks again. read more

Naomi was truly excellent. Very knowledgeable of the menu. Attentive service. Just above and beyond experience with her. She is what hospitality should be! read more

We just finished our first dinner here and the experience was fantastic! The drinks were unique and delicious! We had the specialty drinks that included the shhhh club above, the kings smoke, martini and elephant in the rye. I had the Octopus and this incredible homemade pasta stuffed with leeks in a mushroom Ragu--fabulous The rest of our crew got the restaurant week special that was equally delicious --scallop ceviche, tagliatelle bolognese, and beef cheek over a leek puree' -- SO good!! But the best was our amazing server -- Naomi She was kind, friendly, had great recommendations and extremely helpful throughout the night. I absolutely loved her enthusiasm for the restaurant! She shared information about the DJ Friday nights coming up and made sure we checked out the upstairs bar and restaurant area. Very very cool vibe! Thanks Naomi! And Thank You Chef!! read more

They have inside & outside seating; and lighting is low for dinner. The crudo of the day is easily shareable with great flavor and the pieces of fish are cut thick. The filet mignon is a big chunk and could also be shared as well- it's an interesting take on a Wellington. The raspberry tiramisu was the dessert I picked to finish my meal. I felt like other than the raspberry sauce on top- the raspberry flavor didn't come through as strong and I was mostly eating cream. The mascarpone cream is thick and I feel like if that had raspberry flavor mixed in with the cream the raspberry flavor would come across better. Service was good, waiter was attentive. read more

I would give this restaurant a 3.5/5. Their dishes are unique and something new. Perfect for some apps and drinks. It is on the pricier side so I expected everything to be perfect. My favorite things we had was focaccia with njuda and ricotta spread, and the cappalletti pasta. I think the pasta portion could have been a little larger for the price. The raspberry tiramisu felt like it was missing something. The fresh raspberries were delicious but I think would be better with a raspberry coffee soak. The seafood dishes to me were a little overpowered by a more fishy taste. Everything came out warm and the service was great. With A lot of Italian restaurants to compete with in downtown charleston, if this place really hones in on their dishes it could definitely be an amazing spot. It is a very cute restaurant with some great ideas! read more

This was my second time at this restaurant, and this time we sat outside--which was super cute and had a great vibe. I'd definitely recommend it for oysters and small plates--the oysters especially were delicious. The appetizers are solid, but the entrées were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it's a great spot to grab drinks and share some light bites with friends read more

Food was so good and fresh. Enjoyed the variety of wine and specials they had to offer. dessert cocktail was highlight!

Service was fantastic! Was here for my birthday dinner and enjoyed every moment! Caviar service was delightful with the must have cured egg yolk butter. We loved buratta starter as well. Cozy atmosphere with a very cool lounge/bar upstairs that we checked out after. read more

Food was subpar. Very small portions - ridiculously so. They serve some of their dishes on massive plates to make up for the small portions and it's almost comical. Lobster was undercooked and raw. Ambience is nice but that is it. Pretty much a robbery. Caviar was good though. read more

Legami delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we arrived and were greeted at the host stand, everything felt thoughtful and intentional. The upstairs dining room has a beautiful, intimate ambiance, and the service throughout the evening was flawless--warm, attentive, and never rushed. Our waitress was fantastic, and what truly set the night apart was having the chef personally visit our table with members of his staff to talk through each course. That level of care made us feel pampered and genuinely welcomed--more like family than guests. Every course was outstanding, but the foie gras was on another level. We've never tasted anything like it. Truly unforgettable. This is the kind of experience you talk about long after the meal is over. Exceptional food, exceptional service, and a team that clearly loves what they do. We can't wait to return. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere. I want to go again and try some of the other dishes.

Legami brunch! Very different than your typical modern Italian; this concept is very traditional with culture twists. I loved the cocktails and the service was top tier! From beginning to end this place was a little bit of Italy in Charleston! Their backyard patio is chefs kiss! Perfect for a girls brunch and dinner gathering! read more

Zach was our server! He was fantastic. Super friendly and attentive. We were there on a girls trip and celebrating a friends bday. The servers brought out a dessert and a card for her, which was really sweet! The burrata and focaccia with ricotta were amazing starters!! We also loved the Pomodoro sauce with our pasta. It was a really cute vibe inside. We highly recommend! read more

I could tell the restaurant was trying to do the right thing, but unfortunately, things went wrong almost immediately and never really recovered. We waited about 20 minutes for our first round of drinks, and when they finally came out, they were both wrong. After we reordered, the next drinks took just as long -- and one came out with tequila instead of vodka. At that point, it was clear the service staff wasn't paying attention. The real problem came when my dining companion, who is celiac, ordered the scallop crudo. It turned out that the dish contained breadcrumbs, which we weren't told. The server decided on her own to replace it with a scallop entrée, but never mentioned the change. My companion assumed it was still the crudo and ended up getting sick. That kind of mix-up isn't just bad service -- it's dangerous. When the entrées arrived, the meal continued to disappoint. The pasta was bland and poorly cooked -- something I could easily make better at home. I've worked as a chef for eight years, and it was clear that the execution and attention to detail in the kitchen were lacking. The appetizers were fine, but the entrées completely missed the mark. To their credit, the restaurant did comp one drink and one entrée, and I appreciate that. But given everything that went wrong -- the long waits, wrong drinks, lack of communication, and a serious allergy mistake -- it wasn't nearly enough to make up for the experience. The staff seemed to mean well, but the service was disorganized, the food uneven, and the overall night was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a long time. I truly hope they learn from it, because with some attention to detail and better communication, this place could be much better than it was that night. I would also like to add I am never the person to write a review like this. I never send back a stake that is a little bit overcooked or complain whatsoever. But this was an incredibly disappointing night and I feel that I have to share what was wrong with it. read more

The atmosphere is great but the service is what makes Legami a real gem! Managers are constantly checking in and our waitress Via was knowledgeable, funny and so personable. The drinks and shared plates (burrata, beef tartare, octopus and hamachi) were all delicious and large portions to share. We had the ravioli and ragu and both were absolutely delicious. As someone who has frequented Rome often, the ragu was very Roman tasting and made me miss one of my favorite cities. Legami has a customer for life based on not only their food but their attention to detail and care. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect going into it but we were very pleasantly surprised! It's a beautiful restaurant and everything we had was delicious. We started with their caviar service, the Italian White Sturgeon - it is buttery and very good. We also started with the Beef Tartare and Braised Octopus. For entrees, we got the Pappardelle Al Ragu and the Lobster Risotto. Normally when you think of Italian you think huge portions, but these are not they give you enough food without you feeling over stuffed. We ended with their gelato, which was Pineapple and something else I can't remember - it was arguably the best gelato I've ever had. I couldn't stop eating it! Will definitely be going back. read more

The only reason there is a 1 star is because of the manager and yelp will not let me leave 0. Our group had 10 people and Rachel was our server. At the beginning of the dinner everything seemed fine. Only fine. We seemed flustered with the service and the way our orders were being taken was all over the place. It was not planned out well at all. As the dinner went on she became rude with us as we ordered our food/drinks. It continued to escalate into making small remarks regarding individuals at our table. She was identifying one friend as 'polka dots' and being snarky with us every time she spoke. She came back to take our dessert orders twice. An individual needed to leave early and asked for her dessert to go and check and the server rolled her eyes and acted like this was completely excessive to ask for. Since it was my birthday they put a candle on my dessert but she seemed utterly miserable as she brought it and as my friends sang to me. It was very disappointing. An individual at our table had ordered an inexpensive bottle for our table and the server 'mistakenly' ran us in for a $370 champagne bottle. When the bill came the manager charged us for the inexpensive bottle as this was the servers mistake. The server came back and whispered in my friend's ear "how does it feel to drink expensive for the price of nothing". We felt the manager was nice in regard to the bottle, we regret not informing him of the way the server had talked to us. Overall we felt the food was very mid and not great. Out of the 10 of us, I don't believe any of us will be back. read more

Hey guys... I'm so excited to have been able to go to this restaurant the second week if it's opening... Immediately upon walking in we were greeted smiles and warmth. We had a reservation for two at 545 and we had an option of where we'd like to sit, which was pretty awesome we chose the enclosed upstairs deck. It is temperature controlled... So got the chance to basically walk through the whole restaurant on the way, very impressed with the aesthetic and decor, literally not one expense was spared here. And it shows...Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I also like that there is bathrooms on the main level and the second level. They definitely utilize the space beautifully and you could tell that things were running very efficiently even the second week. There is a large main bar on the first level. There is a smaller bar on the second level, but I think that's great that they utilize that space there's small seats for people to just have drinks while they're waiting for their table, there's bar seating where you can dine and have drinks... There is tons of dining room space both downstairs and upstairs. Now to the food... Food was amazing. I really can't complain much about it. I did give it a 9 out of 10 foodwise though because I did notice that some things maybe were a little over salted but I also think that these are just the kinks that will be worked out in time. I do feel like our courses were rushed. We had four different courses, but I also understand that they were definitely running on a schedule because they have reservations to satisfy so they don't want people going too slowly especially us just being a two top. I would guess they gave us an hour and a half dining time. Other than that I wanna go back and I wanna get all different things and I was thoroughly impressed. I Highly recommend if you're in the area to check it out highly recommend if you live here to check it out and you will see why this is a great new addition to our downtown dining experience... read more

Legami - Martini with burrata-stuffed olives - Italian Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We attended on their first week of opening so this review should come with a grain of salt. Hopefully they've improved! The ambiance is absolutely a 10/10. I would recommend sitting at the bar upstairs or downstairs for a drink, but even their cocktail menu was not what I was looking for. Service was average, our serve seemed like she didn't want to be there. Was not excited to give us recommendations when she asked. The back servers were excellent at keeping our waters full though! Unfortunately the food was underwhelming. Their version of lasagna came out cold. I understand it's probably made earlier but at least have it hot! We noticed the table next to us send back 2 different dishes. Very instagrammable but not much substance sadly read more

Disappointed. I was excited to try Legami. I had a reservation for 4 and at the last minute had to change it to 2. I'm so glad that happened because I would've been embarrassed to bring guests. We were seated in a completely empty room that it seemed that most managers and servers used to hang out before getting busy. The bread was the highlight of the meal. Everything else just lacked something, mainly heat. All of our dishes were served tepid at best and quickly cooled to straight up cold. Our server didn't offer any suggestions and was reluctant to describe anything when asked. We were rushed to order which is odd because the place was empty. Because of the rush we were in and out in 80 minutes, not by choice. When the food was delivered to our table it was placed on the opposite side from where we were sitting. We had to move glassware and slide our food across the table. There were so many managers or supervisors walking around and no one said hello or asked about our experience. The restaurant is very pretty but the food and service are not up to expectations yet. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Literally every single dish we had was incredible. The service is top tier (Amelia is world-class, she took amazing care of us), the food is LIFE CHANGING, the ambience is incredible, I mean, not a single miss. This has been where I have been taking all my friends and family that I want to impress. We met the owners and all the managers and they are all such kind, caring people. We love this place and can't wait to come back again!! We had the Lobster tartin and Octopus for appetizers, Filet and Lamb for entrees (the filet wellington is insanely good) and Raspberry Tiramisu for dessert (still thinking about it haha)! Highly recommend any of these but everything was phenomenal! read more

We stopped by Legami and were absolutely blown away by the Legami martinis -- hands down the best dirty martinis we've ever had. The Calabrian chili-infused vodka added the perfect kick of spice, and the burrata-stuffed olives were next-level amazing. We also ordered the sidecar snack of marinated olives, and they were equally delicious. We went upstairs to the lounge, which turned out to be the perfect spot for a girls' night cocktail -- cozy, stylish, and relaxed. I'll 100% be coming back next time I'm in Charleston! read more

My wife and I went to Legami last night, and had an outstanding meal! Our server Naomi did a great job of describing the various dishes, guiding us through the menu for each course. We started with the Focaccia Rosemarino with Whipped Ricotta Nduja, then shared the Ravioli and Bottoni as our first course. Both were delicious. For an entree, we loved the Filet Mignon Alla Wellington, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare inside a puffed pastry. For Dessert, we had the Torta Legami and Roasted Pineapple, both of which were fantastic. The only miss was the Espresso Thy Self. The regular Espresso Martini would have been a better choice. A main component of a meal , is great service, and Naomi exceeded all expectations. It made for an enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back! read more
