This is the latest from Giacobbe Scotto and his wife, Rachel , who both fell in love with Moncks Corner from day one, according to the company’s Facebook . The duo are from a small town called Bacoli, less than 13 miles from Napoli. While the restaurant is under construction, the owners hope to open the first Giacobbe’s in August 2025 . The restaurant will feature New York and Sicilian-style pizzas, great lunch specials, a bar, and wood-fired pizza once a week.

Giacobbe tells What Now Charleston that he and his wife chose to land Giacobbe’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in Moncks Corners after having a long history with it. This is where Rachel lived when the two first started dating, and Giacobbe still lived in Florida. The two would visit the area for its small-town feel and to escape the fast-growing Summersville.
