***EDIT: Apparently the City Paper article / press release I saw were wrong. Trattoria Lucca will actually open next Tuesday, September 23rd***
It’s been anticipated for months, but tomorrow we will get to see the finished product. Trattoria Lucca, the new restaurant from Ken Vedrinski, chef/owner of Sienna on Daniel Island, will open its doors on the corner of Bogard St. and Ashe St., just south of the Crosstown.
Vedrinski plans for Lucca to serve as an affordable, neighborhood style restaurant with a casual atmosphere where you will be able to get quality Italian food late into the evening. In the City Paper article I linked to at the top of this post, Vedrinski states that Lucca’s late night hours are specifically targeted at the food and beverage community that doesn’t currently have a lot of options when it comes to grabbing a decent bite to eat after work.
I’m always excited for a new restaurant to open, but even more so when it’s right in my neighborhood. Cannonborough and Elliottborough are one of the fastest growing areas in Charleston’s food scene and Trattoria Lucca will be a more than welcome addition to the neighborhood.
(DH’s Note: The press release I saw claimed that they have a website, http://www.trattoriadining.com, but it’s not up. I suspect they are just waiting to open the restaurant, so keep your eyes peeled there)
