Wild Olive

Wild Olive on Johns Island is one of my favorite restaurants in the Charleston area as they blend the magical elements of Italian food and fresh Lowcountry ingredients perfectly to make a really great meal. Everything on the menu is very delicious and flavorful and something special and unique that is memorable and fulfilling. Wild Olive creates a relaxed ambience and atmosphere that really lets you enjoy the meal with the people, the lighting, and the decor. Once you step in here your stress level will drop and you know you will have a great meal and a good dining experience. The staff here is very attentive and goes out of their way to make sure that you have everything that you need before you need it. I am always impressed with the level of service that they are able to provide.

First time there! Excellent excellent service food, absolutely amazing!! Really neat food options with so much to try. Ray, our server was great and patient explaining all the Italian in the menu to me :). Will be back

Friendly, accommodating staff. Amazing food. Love that they use local produce and protein and the pasta is made in house. Do yourself a favor, be adventurous and try the Sfomato. Best Italian food in the Charleston area!

The food is always superb (dont miss the risotto balls!), the service on par, and the ambience warm and cozy. Save room for dessert, the menu is like a secret garden!

Always amazing! Elk carpaccio appetizer, wow! Tagliatelle bolognese, wow! Lasangna, wow! Gelato Affogato, wow!

As always the staff was friendly and very attentive during our visit. The temperature of the restaurant was a bit warm for our liking but that is to be expected in a successful restaurant during Saturday dinner rush. We enjoyed the appetizers such as the warm olives, the sausage fritters and the Octopus. We had our entrees that were absolutely stunning. The desserts that I had was amazing as always. The Chocolate cake dessert was good but was a bit dry for our liking. Overall 5 stars solid is what we rate!

great service by Hadley & food was very creative and prepared well. liked having choice of two sizes for some entrees.

Great atmosphere, server was extremely knowledgeable and the food was incredible. Had the papperdelle with guanciale. Definitely in the top five best testing dishes I have ever eaten.

The gnocchi are the very best along with all the amazing homemade pasta dishes. Service was fabulous as always. Love it there!

By far the best Italian restaurant in the Charleston area. Listen to your server....they all have a ton of knowledge about the food and they won't lead you astray. Personally this is my favorite restaurant in Charleston and I have lived here my entire life and been to just about every single place in town. Be sure to get the bruschetta. It's constantly changing and I've always been extremely satisfied with it. All of the pasta dishes are too die for and the octopus is another one of my favorites.

Great Italian restaurant on Johns Island! Recommend reservations, especially on the weekend. They do have a community table. Great ambiance, drinks and food. Recommend the lamb lasagna and the fried calamari is the best!! Great waiters/waitresses, too.

Really amazing food. The pasta was wonderful as was the wine selection and dessert. Only thing that was slightly annoying was how loud the restaurant was. It was very difficult to hear the server when she, or they, were talking and it was especially hard to have a conversation around the table with a group of seven. Other than that really enjoyed the food and such.

Amazing. Kim was awesome and took care of all 12 of us. She was patient, kind and fun. It was an awesome night!

Fresh, homemade pasta that always is amazing! Hidden on Johns Island but definitely worth the drive.

Always a great experience! It can be loud when crowded and reservations are HIGHLY recommended! My fave app is the warm olives but all the food is excellent and it is a great place to take out of town visitors!
