“ Came here for dinner and this establishment is quite new for the King Street area and I love the ambience of this place. Very inviting and chic! Our server was attentive and checked on our table often. For the food part, we started with the piattini, I really enjoyed the beef tartare but we also ordered the burrata and crispy polenta. For the piatti / main course I really enjoyed and truly recommend the fillet mignon alla Wellington and the king crab . The cocktails options were pretty scrumptious as well. I say yay for Legami! Go check them out! ”
“ I had an incredible dining experience at Legami in Charleston, SC! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, especially the handmade pasta, bursting with flavor. The dessert was heavenly! A perfect spot for a memorable meal. Can’t wait to return! Highly recommend! A few of the must try’s in my opinion are definitely the Beef Tartar, Lobster Risotto, and of course finish off with an Espresso Thy Self cocktail ”
“ Legami was outstanding! Our server was incredibly kind and well informed of the menu. The food was some of the best I’ve had in Charleston and the atmosphere was incredible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience I highly recommend Legami. ”
“ Check out this photo from my recent visit to Legami’s in downtown Charleston! The seafood pasta I had was to die for, and Tom’s beef cheeks were incredibly tender. The ambiance of this newer Italian restaurant was perfect for a romantic dinner. We can’t wait to go back! ”
“ Halfway thru my dinner and each bite is phenomenal, service is unmatched. I popped in to grabbed a quick meal to go, felt the ambiance and decided to stay. Greatness decision ever! Michael, my server was so knowledgeable about the menu, and gave a warm and inviting experience. 10/10 recommend. Whether you’re alone or in a group setting. ”
“ Thank you to wonderful Jonas and Jacquelyn for the outstanding service. Mia came over to check on my dear friend with an allergy. This is five star service folks, allergies are no joke. The drinks were delish and the food divine. Terell with his cute self checked in to round out the evening. The food brings you in, but the service brings you back. Thank you again J&J for the dreamy experience! It was wonderful and we will be back! ”
“ Very sexy Italian restaurant. First off I want to say that I loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in. It is very spacious and they have a wonderful staff. I didn't even realize they had an upstairs area but when the bartender let me know; I must say it was worth going up there. That second floor is a whole vibe. The lamb and the seafood pasta were so delicious. And I love how their cocktail menu is unique from a lot of other restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and will definitely be back! ”
“ I found Legami through a mention on Eater, and thought it would be a great place to bring my sister for her Birthday last Saturday. I read some mixed reviews a couple of hours before our reservation, so went in a bit apprehensive. Walking into Legami, it’s a gorgeous restaurant! We were greeted super warmly by the host, and he had no issue transitioning our reservation from 3 to 2. He sat us at a 4 top table in the back by the kitchen (assuming due to our original reservation), and was so kind when we requested to move to a 2 top in the front of the restaurant after deciding that wasn’t the vibe we were hoping for. They were very busy, with a line at the host stand when I went back up to request the change. I was dreading asking, but he was so accommodating and changed us without any issue. Kudos for stellar customer service! I wished I had got his name. We continued to have amazing service with Olive as our server for the night. She immediately brought us two glasses of sparkling wine with a Birthday card for my sister, made great recommendations, wasn’t hovering but checked on us regularly. We both had the Legami martini with the snack side car. This is a must order for anyone that enjoys a dirty martini. Phenomenal. The Birthday girl had two! Ha We split a bunch of items. The focaccia with ricotta was heavenly, as was the hamachi crudo. The field greens salad was huge, fresh, but too heavily dressed for my preference. I ordered the ravioli, and really enjoyed them. My sister ordered the butternut squash pasta (can’t remember the exact name), and we found it a bit bland. We intended on splitting more, but were too full. We got the roasted pineapple desert with anise ice cream and loved it! Of course they brought it out with a candle. Extra bonus points for that. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely go back to try more dishes! We had incredible service, and that alone will always bring me back to a restaurant. Tip: Request a table in the front of house or upstairs for a nicer ambiance. Don’t miss the Legami martini, focaccia, or crudo of the day. ”
