Popina
Description
Italy meets the American South in dishes like hot chicken Milanese with ranch dressing at Popina. Chef and co-owner Chris McDade is from Georgia and has worked at Italian restaurants like Danny Meyer’s Maialino. His pork meatballs are soaked in tomato gravy, while his arancini are stuffed with delectable Carolina Gold rice and glazed with honey and butter. You get the idea. The small restaurant has an expansive outdoor area with a bocce ball court.
