Brothers Eldredge and Tyler Ropolo grew up in Turin, Italy, near the country’s border with France. Their new Charleston restaurant — an extension of Pasta Beach, the eatery their parents Gianni and Susie opened in Newport, R.I., more than two decades ago — will channel those Italian roots. That starts with the design.

Legami, set to open in October, is taking over the Upper King Street space once occupied by 492. The upscale restaurant closed in 2018, and the building changed hands for $6.8 million in 2021. Tyler Ropolo, creative director of his family’s restaurant group, led the historic structure’s transformation into a bright, elevated destination with four separate dining areas.
