Tags: Italian, Bar
For more than five years, chef/owner Michael Scognamiglio has kept his head down and focused on turning out a steady stream of delicious Italian dishes, making Bacco the insiders’ choice for good dining in Mt. Pleasant. Housemade pasta and gnocchi anchor the authentic southern Italian fare, and an ever-changing mix of secondi will have you gobbling up hearty plates of grilled octopus over farro and oven-roasted sausage over polenta. The hand-pulled mozzarella and savory fire-roasted olives are not to be missed. At lunch, there’s Neapolitan-style pizza baked in a wood-burning oven and rustic sandwiches made with Italian meats and that wonderful mozzarella. Simple but classy decor and eminently reasonable prices make Bacco a great regular haunt for Mt. Pleasanters and well worth a trip across the Ravenel bridge for everyone else. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
