Rank 2. Sorelle
Southern Italian
Three townhouses stacked vertically in Historic Charleston hold Nick Dugan's elegant take on Southern Italian cooking: gnocchetti cacio e pepe arrives properly austere with toasted pepper, while zeppole dusted in vanilla sugar meet marsala zabaglione at dessert. The space rewards dressing up; the menu rewards hunger.

Rank 3. Lowland
New American
In a converted Charleston residence off King Street, Lowland moves between casual bar snacks and more composed dining across two floors. A biscuit topped with farmer cheese and pepper jelly sets the tone; upstairs, grey triggerfish rests on sweet potato polenta with lardons and bacon vinaigrette. The kitchen treats comfort as a starting point for refinement rather than an end in itself.
