Here's what LoveFood had to say about South Carolina's best pasta:

"More famous for its wood-fired pizzas, Renzo also always has a perfect pasta dish or two on its ever-changing menu. These receive regular praise from loyal customers. The wood-fired lasagna is said to be out-of-this-world. The dish combines bolognese di testa with provolone piccante, pecorino, parsley, mint, and 'grandma's special sauce.'"
