Don and Joanne Migliori today announced the soft opening of their new culinary venture, Abbracci Italian Cuisine & Cocktails in North Mount Pleasant, will take place on Friday, November 8th.
Named after the Italian word for “hugs,” the Migloris say Abbracci embodies their family's "deep-rooted Italian-American heritage and their dedication to creating spaces where the community feels welcomed and embraced." Abbracci is Don and Joanne’s third culinary endeavor in the Charleston area. They opened Migliori’s Pizzeria in Mount Pleasant five years ago and are partners in the recently opened Italian restaurant, Legami, on King Street.
“Mount Pleasant has been our home for years, and we’re so grateful for the support we’ve received. We’ve poured our hearts into Abbracci,” said Joanne Migliori. “Abbracci is our way of continuing that connection, offering a place where people can come together over heartwarming Italian dishes, cocktails, and truly memorable experiences. From the food to the design, our goal is to create a space where people feel like they’re part of our family.”
Guests can look forward to a range of dining experiences, from an expansive cocktail bar and wine program, to outdoor patio seating with a fire pit lounge area. Abbracci will also feature a community table and a private dining room.
Abbracci’s kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Devin Sansone. All of Abbracci’s pastas will be made in-house and signature dishes include a house-made sausage arancini, crispy octopus, ricotta gnocchi, rigatoni sugo with braised pork cheek, potato-crusted fish, and a traditional cioppino with fresh local seafood.
“Abbracci’s menu has been really fun to create," said Executive Chef Devin Sansone. "We’re honoring the flavors and traditions of familial Italian roots while embracing the fresh, local ingredients of the Lowcountry.”
Abbracci Italian Cuisine & Cocktails is located at 1146 Muhlenbergia Drive in Mount Pleasant. Abbracci will be open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday and will be closed Monday and Tuesday. The restaurant will open for weekend brunch services and host a grand opening in 2025. For more information and further updates on the opening, follow Abbracci on Instagram and Facebook @abbraccichs.
