Tucked away in a quiet corner
of downtown Charleston’s
Elliotsborough neighborhood lies
Ken Vedrinski’s charming Italian eatery,
Trattoria Lucca. Inspired by the ancient Tuscan city of Lucca, a place renowned for its olive oils, Trattoria Lucca brings the essence of Italian cuisine to the Lowcountry. The menu features Italian imported cheese and salumi, as well as the freshest farm-to-table produce and fresh seafood from the waters surrounding Charleston.
Lucca diners will enjoy a modestly priced and diverse selection of acclaimed Assaggini (starters), such as Warm Cauliflower Sformatino ($9), Spicy Soppressata from Calabria ($9) and Gorgonzola Creamaficia (9). A variety of handmade pastes (pastas) such as Gnudi, Ravioli, Tagliolini and Bucatini are tossed with both local produce and authentic Italian ingredients such as Cerignola olives, Calabrese chilies and Crescenza cheese ($19-$24). Piatti (plates) offer savory dishes such as local flounder, hangar steak, Niman Ranch pork chop, and Springer Mountain chicken ($21-$30).
Acting as the restaurant’s in-house sommelier, Vedrinski hand-picked Lucca’s veneto (wine list) to showcase a variety of his favorite Southern Italian wines, such as the Negroamaro from Apulia or the Piedirosso from Campania.
