Melfi’s Menu Gets a Little Quirky With Italian Classics

Italian restaurant Melfi’s opened this week and it seems like everyone is already Instagramming from the stunning 721 King St. dining room. While there have been hints at the menu (pizza, pasta, and Negronis), the full listing is only available to those who visit the hot spot eatery.

Eater Charleston snapped a few photos of the menu on a recent visit. To set the scene at Melfi’s: the room is buzzing; the bar is full; families share pizzas; friends raise glasses of prosecco; and the kitchen is humming.

On the food menu, patrons will find vitello tonnato, tortellini in brodo, “A Beautiful Lettuce Salad,” linguine with lobster, chicken cacciatore, and thin-crust pizzas with fun names like “Mr. Wally,” “Iceberg Slim,” and “Optimistic Chicken.”

The beverage menu is as equally creative with many variations on the classic Negroni, shakeratos, spritzes, local beers Italian wines, and other cocktails with sassy names like the “Debbie Don’t” with tequila and Averna amora. Take a look at the full listings here.
