The food at Fulton Five is always amazing ...we have dined there for the last 5 years on our anniversary trips to Charleston and the food is always simply unbelievable! Sooo good! The service is top notch...we have actually always had the same waiter and he is GREAT! The atmosphere is intimate and cozy...extremely romantic! My favorite is the coffee... More

Fulton Five is a intimate Italian restaurant in the heart of Charleston. A full menu provides lots of choices. The service is attentive and the food is excellent.

Fulton Five is, by far, our favorite restaurant in Charleston. The entire staff makes you feel like family. The Insalata di Funghi is superb. The pasta dishes are wonderful and served in smaller portions as well. The daily fish special never disappoints. This little gem is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy part of Charleston.... More

Fulton Five is a great treasure, tucked away on a little street just a block off of King. I almost hate to review because Fulton Five is usually free of the tourist throngs and filled with locals. I have been dining here regularly for over a decade and it is always a great meal with excellent service.

We love the ambiance of Fulton Five and are drawn there time and time again, although we have never had a truly outstanding-in-every-way meal there. Once you get past the totally charmless and unwelcoming hostess, the waitstaff can't be beat. They are very professional; they are attentive but not intrusive. It never fails that some of the items will be... More

We ate at 6 of the "Best Restaurants" in Charleston, SC - all highly recommended by friends and newspaper and magazine reviews. Heads above them all is Fulton Five on Fulton St - just off King Street. We both agreed - we had one of the best meals either of us had ever had! I wish they would come to... More

We returned to Fulton Five on a Saturday night and as expected the food and service were excellent. Three of our party of four had and raved about the Insalta Di Mare, a shrimp, lobster and crab appetizer, and the pasta dishes and the lamb entree were great.

We had been meaning to try FF for awhile and finally did. The food (especially the steak, lamb and fish) was impeccably cooked but a bit pedestrian flavor-wise. Really nothing to write home about, or make me want to return, especially as it is one of the more expensive restaurants in town. The olive oil they serve is really spectacular,... More

Been meaning to get here for 15 years. Finally made it. I sure lost out on 15 years of good food. The ambiance is superb, you would think you are in Naples. The wait staff is excellent, very professional. We ordered a selection of small plates to sample as much as we could. The mussels were the best I've ever... More

This is a great experience. The food and service can't be beat. The waiter was able to make great wine suggestions to go with my meal. Make sure to get reservations.
