MOUNT PLEASANT — A local restaurateur is spreading the love for his Italian sandwiches east of the Cooper.

Downtown Charleston’s pint-sized Italian deli The Pass Panino and Provisions is opening a second location, bringing its piled-high sandwiches and antipasti platters to Mount Pleasant.

The new location will feature an expanded dining room with roughly 25 seats and a small provisions market stocked with Italian specialty items.

The Pass will be located at 976 Houston Northcutt Blvd., at the corner of Coleman Boulevard, next door to La Pizzeria.

Owner Anthony Marini expects the location to open by mid-November, serving lunch only. Evening dining will remain exclusive to the downtown location under his chef’s table-style dining experience “Italian Boy After Dark.”
