Word on the street
What locals are saying
Named for a Charleston Italian immigrant who ran a Prohibition-era speakeasy, Vincent Chicco's earns its atmosphere — black-and-white tile floors, dark wood bar, antique portraits — rather than just borrowing a story. Handmade pastas drive the menu, with Nonna's pork-and-sausage pasta and the cacio e pepe drawing steady praise, while the branzino over roasted fingerlings holds up the non-pasta half; portions lean generous enough that sharing is a legitimate strategy. Service is mostly warm and knowledgeable, but the floor runs inconsistent enough that a flat or inattentive table isn't unheard of, and the occasional dish — chicken piccata has taken heat — falls short of the room's promise.
