Mount Pleasant’s SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar this week announced the addition of Chef Michael Semancik and Chef Jordan Aldrich (right) as SAVI's new Culinary Director and Executive Chef, respectively. The restaurant says the duo will work together to “elevate and expand the restaurant's already award-winning culinary program, grow and educate their culinary team and continue to positively impact the SAVI culture.”
Semancik (below right) joins the SAVI team with 25 years of industry experience. He has previously served as the Executive Chef of several notable establishments such as The Dewberry Hotel in Charleston, Emmaline in Houston, TX and The Mansion at Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA. He was a partner in acclaimed Atlanta restaurant SCOUT and also spent time providing his services as a restaurant consultant for Bill Murray's group of restaurants here in the Holy City.
Aldrich started his culinary career at his parents' restaurant in Pennsylvania. After moving South, he worked at the Kiawah Island Club and Purlieu before joining the team at SAVI.
With Semancik and Aldrich at the helm, guests can still expect the coastal and classic Italian dishes SAVI is known for, but also some new twists that reflect each season.
SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar is located in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre and is open Sunday through Thursday from 4 pm to 9 pm and Friday to Saturday from 4 pm to 10 pm. They offer drink specials daily from 4 pm to 6 pm during their Aperitivo Hour.
