Set amid historical sites like the Charleston Naval Shipyard and plantations dating back to the 17th century is Amici’s Italian Bistro, a place filled with the sounds of Sinatra playing in the background, red and white checkered tablecloths, and chianti bottle-candles lit on every table.

Here, you’ll encounter the aromas of garlic and nana's fresh homemade marinara, old family photos adorning the walls, and chef and owner Jennifer French greeting you at the door with open arms and a forkful of pasta.
