Offering sophisticated made from scratch authentic Northern Italian dishes; Executive Chef Carlos Echeverri is a true artist. Trained in Italy and New York City in the finest, highest rated restaurants in the world, Carlos demands excellence. His customers often remark that the cuisine at Coal Fired Bistro is among the best that they have ever experienced anywhere.

Locally owned and operated, Coal Fired Bistro is home to the largest coal fired oven ever constructed. Why Coal? The original New York Italian pizza makers that immigrated to America from Italy preferred coal as their fuel source. Using these origins, Coal Fired Bistro captures the extraordinary taste and texture of a true New York style thin, foldable crust.

Wine is also an integral experience to many guests of Coal Fired Bistro. Home to the only self-serve, European inspired wine bar in Upstate South Carolina, guests can try a variety of world-class wines at their leisure. Full bottle and wine by the glass service are available at tableside, as well.

Enjoy live music throughout the week from favorites like Bruce Helgeson, the Soul Doctors and many more. A spacious covered patio serves as the ultimate retreat after a long day for those seeking a little solace.

Reservations are recommended for the guest seeking to have a worldly culinary experience.
