We were lucky enough to snag a table on the 1st Saturday at the new location, and they did not miss a step. Everything was fantastic! The dining room was a little loud, but the atmosphere was upbeat and energetic.

- KKensiSouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI took my husband there for his birthday. He got the ravioli special. I got the manicotti and my granddaughter got the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Looking at the outside at the building you wouldn't think that it would be that amazing but it is. Just make sure you have reservations because I saw them turn people away over and over.More infoFratello's Italian Tavern - Park CirclePrice: Moderate• Italian• North Charleston•4.6
