What locals are saying
Costa Charleston is a coastal Italian restaurant that opened in late 2023 inside The Jasper on Broad Street, earning recognition as one of Yelp's Best New Restaurants in the South for 2024. Locals and food writers praise its creative crudo plates, the standout beef cheek tortellini, and a sleek open-kitchen atmosphere—though some reviewers find the food average or underwhelming for the price point, with portions described as small and the overall experience not always living up to its buzz. It skews toward a special-occasion or out-of-towner crowd rather than a casual local haunt.
