What is “fugazzi”? According to Charleston-based chef Micheal Toscano (and Matthew McConaughey’s character in Wolf of Wall Street), it means “phony” or “fake.” Toscano, who also owns Le Farfalle (15 Beaufain Street) and Da Toscano Porchetta Shop (109 President Street), recently opened Da Toscano Fugazzi at Revelry Brewing Co. (10 Conroy Street).

“In terms of this project, fugazzi means unauthentic Italian-inspired Americana,” says Toscano, “We’re cooking great bar food that has a spin of Italian, which is not Italian at all. In no way, shape, or form is it traditional, but it’s really fun. It’s all the things that we love, like a porcine-rubbed prime rib Philly cheesesteak, a meatball smash burger, and a version of my favorite Italian hoagie from Faicco’s in New York.”
