Trattoria Lucca – Charleston Restaurant Review

By David Heiser ⋅ October 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

For as long as I’ve been interested in Charleston’s culinary scene, I have continually heard people rave about Sienna, Chef Ken Vedrinski’s Daniel Island standout.

Jealous, Charleston? I just did a McCrady’s review and this dinner had so many courses that I can’t even begin to write a full review.
