Upcoming Italian Restaurant Le Farfalle Displays Signage

Crews are hustling at Le Farfalle to get the forthcoming Italian restaurant up and running soon at 15 Beaufain St. The door displays the logo, but there's still a lot going into the space right now. Le Farfalle predicted a June opening, but with two more days left in the month, that's highly unlikely.

Eater has a feeling Charleston is willing to wait for chef Michael Toscano's food however — especially after celebrity chef Mario Batali tweeted his approval of the Italian eatery opening in the Lowcountry.

Toscano made a name for himself in NYC with restaurants like Perla, Montmartre, and Jeffrey's Grocery. Toscano's forthcoming Charleston restaurant will feature similar Italian fare. For a preview of what may be to come, the chef's agnolotti al sugo d’arrosto was named a "Best New Pasta Dish" by Eater New York in 2013.

Toscano's wife Caitlin will run the front of the house once the restaurant opens.
