Fairview

About the restaurant

Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il Mezzogiorno — the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country. Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We do our best to accommodate special requests but are unable to guarantee requests for specific tables.

We look forward to breaking bread with you!

Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We look forward to breaking bread with you!

The food, ambiance, and service are always top-notch at Lupo. We’ve been coming here for 20 years and it has always been perfect. This time, the specials were grilled sea bream and Montreal veal chop. They were excellent!

Overall really loved the meal. Did family style and tried a few different things which was lovely. Few marks off as food was a bit oversalted, particularly the pork chop and a little loud in the space. But would definitely dine again.

Mount Pleasant

About the restaurant

Giusti sits just off Main in Mount Pleasant’s historic Ashnola Building, where tall windows and old chandeliers throw a candlelit glow across the room. It’s cozy but alive. The menu starts with what’s fresh, folding in Italian cheeses, vinegars, and salumi that let local vegetables shine. Every pasta is hand-rolled, often egg-fortified. Please note we are unable to offer gluten free pasta.

We look forward to hosting you in our Main Dining Room, Galleria or Bar Area. The Galleria is our second floor, more intimate space which overlooks the main dining room. The Bar area tables are located in the window, close to the entrance.

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 945 pm every night.

Unrestricted street parking is limited so we recommend giving yourself some extra time to find a spot or use a ride share or taxi.

This was my third visit and each time has been great service paired with awesome food. We celebrated a girl friend’s birthday with her favorite martini in the city. We shared the Ricotta Bruschetta with hot honey, the Beet salad with pear and Gorgonzola, the Squash Cappellacci, the 21 layer lasagna ! and a beautiful tiramisu which totally hit the mark. Can’t wait for next time!

Perfect, as usual. Our server picked the most amazing selection for us as part of the "let us cook for you" option -- prosciutto, a grain salad, pasta, steak & cannoli. Service is always friendly, generous, and perfectly attentive without ever feeling rushed. There's a reason I keep going back!
