Sorelle emanates big-city opulence, with only-in-Charleston flair, like the view of the Four Corners of Law from the dining room. While house-made pasta, local fish, and lavish meat dishes anchor the offerings, the smaller plates, such as the vongole fra diavolo, generate the most excitement, especially when paired with a house Negroni. Also winners: handkerchief pasta with pesto and the pitch-perfect cannoli. (ML) 88 Broad St. (843) 974-1575, . $$$-$$$$; D.
