Following this same mentality of simultaneously covering the most ground without compromising quality, we made dinner reservations at a three-for-one hidden gem tucked away in Hutson Alley on 39-G Johns Street, just off King Street.
Created by Holy City Hospitality, Vincent Chicco’s, Victor’s Social Club and Michael’s on the Alley are three distinct eateries sharing one space.
As the story goes, Vincent Chicco migrated to Charleston from Italy during the Prohibition Era and became known as “the king of blind tigers,” referring to secret currency for patrons receiving drinks. At the time many Charlestonians, Chicco included, considered themselves immune from the laws governing the rest of the state. He became a local hero by running a number of saloons and leading the fight against Prohibition. In a building formally owned by the Chicco family, the restaurant pays its respects to him through an inspired Italian menu combining classic flavors, domestic ingredients and a curated wine list.
to Michael’s is necessary on another night.
