Mulberry Street Trattoria
Hours
Mulberry Street Trattoria is a family-run Italian restaurant at 1476 Fording Island Road in Bluffton, on the US 278 corridor a few minutes before the bridges to Hilton Head. It opened in 2004 and cooks the red-sauce classics people drive over for: lasagna, chicken marsala, eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti with clams. The small dining room is the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name.
The Meatball and the Menu
The house signature is what the trattoria calls the world’s largest meatball, a single meatball big enough to share, served over spaghetti. The dinner menu runs from antipasti such as fried calamari and arborio rice balls through pasta (carbonara, penne alla vodka, lasagna) to chicken scallopini, Faroe Island salmon and a brown-butter halibut. Most entrées are in the $22 to $38 range. Leave room for the cannoli, which diners mention as often as the mains.
Early Plate, Lunch and Hours
Il Piatto Presto, the early plate, is a shorter, lower-priced menu served Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 5:45 p.m. Dinner is Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m., and lunch is Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Book on Resy or call (843) 837-2426; the dining room is small, so weekend tables go early.

What diners say
Diners like the lasagna, chicken marsala and cannoli, and the early bird menu is a draw. The dining room is small and intimate. Many praise the service, but others found it inattentive, so it depends on the night.
