Word on the street

What locals are saying

Coda Del Pesce commands genuine local respect as the premier special-occasion Italian seafood restaurant on Isle of Palms, with regulars consistently praising Chef Ken Vedrinski's handmade pastas, locally sourced catch, and knowledgeable Italian-only wine service as worth the steep price and real reservation challenge — locals note it's nearly impossible to book on weekends in-season, with even bar seats reserved. The intimate, calm atmosphere is frequently contrasted favorably with the louder beachfront spots nearby, and Vedrinski's Beat Bobby Flay win, Zagat ranking, and a strong January 2025 Post & Courier review reinforce its chef-driven credibility beyond tourist novelty. No significant quality-decline complaints surface in recent reviews, though the consensus friction points are price, small capacity, and booking friction on Resy.
