What locals are saying
Da Toscano Porchetta Shop has earned a strong local following as a genuinely special sandwich destination in Charleston — MUSC staffers and downtown regulars are its bread-and-butter crowd, drawn to Tuscan-style focaccia sandwiches that reviewers describe as 'sandwich nirvana.' The no-seating, counter-service-only format and tricky parking near the medical district are consistent practical complaints, but the quality of the porchetta, bollito, and mortadella sandwiches consistently wins people over. Chef Michael Toscano's growing restaurant group (Le Farfalle, Fugazzi, Blanca Estrada) lends the shop serious culinary credibility in the local dining scene.
