Ken Vedrinski went from being a celebrated chef at the only five-star restaurant in all of South Carolina (the Dining Room at Woodlands) to being the celebrated chef/restaurateur at downtown’s most beloved trattoria in the hood. At Lucca he’s following his passion, making fresh pasta and exquisite dishes using impeccable seafood, produce, and meats from the nearby lands and waters. He goes back to the old country to source beautiful wines, fruity olive oils, sultry cheeses, and cured meats. He continues to wow us on a regular basis. One day in late summer, urged on by a gorgeous food porn shot in a national food magazine, we went in search of panzanella and landed at Lucca where we found a most inspired take on the classic bread and tomato salad. Vedrinski’s version had perfectly tender bits of octopus mixed in with the freshest tomatoes from Johns Island — we were not only satisfied but smitten. Vedrinski is a master of the craft and deserves to be on your top five must-eat list, no matter if you’ve been here one or a hundred times. His is the pasta to which we compare all others. —Stephanie Barna Dish (Winter 2013)
