Al’s Upstairs Italian Restaurant

Al’s Upstairs Italian Restaurant permanently closed in December 2023

Al’s Upstairs is an intimate fine dining restaurant in West Columbia with a magnificent view of downtown Columbia. It’s an unexpected spot with exceptional Italian food and desserts.

As for what to order, their lobster bisque is heavenly! It’s the perfect way to start off an evening out. For entrees, we love their Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Charleston and Veal Piccata. And their desserts are incredible! We especially love their cheesecake. You can view the full Al’s Upstairs menu here.

Al’s Upstairs is at the corner of Sunset Blvd and Meeting St in West Columbia. It’s just over the Gervais Street bridge. There is parking all around the building and there shouldn’t be any issues getting a spot since it’s a small restaurant. If for some reason the lot is full, you can park behind Al’s at the Egg Roll Station.
