- LLauraVIPNew York City •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was our first time dining here. We were visiting from Nj. The service was great. Our waiter Maverick was friendly, very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and the amount of food was very generous! I had eggplant parm that was delicious! My daughter had penne vodka with a chicken cutlet and loved it. My husband had bolognese over linguine and raved about it! Definitely a good find!More infoFratello's Italian Tavern - Park CirclePrice: Moderate• Italian• North Charleston•4.6

- JJohnSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoNew space is very nice. Food is as wonderful as ever. My only issue is with the size of the tables for two - not much room to maneuver once you have three or more dishes on the table along with water glasses, wine and cocktail glasses. I know there’s not much to be done - just an observation and that won’t keep us from coming back soonMore infoJackrabbit FillyPrice: Moderate• Chinese• North Charleston•4.9
