The food was mediocre at best, the steaks were undercooked. The restaurant smelled like moldy wood as you walk in. The male server was super creepy, I could barely understand what he was saying.

That place is special. Quiet, romantic, authentic... the food is fresh and all self made, which is a rare thing these days. We love it and will be back soon.

We loved the whole Farm to Table experience. The food was delicious, if pricey for what you got. We spent more here than at other "fancier" restaurants in town. Our server's first attempt at cappuccino produced an ice-cold cup. His second attempt was luke-warm and over sweetened.

Really excellent farm to table food. Highly recommend the white shrimp Risotto and the grilled Carrots and squash. Everything was delicious. It's a lovely room and the food tasted totally fresh and local. It's a testament to a great restaurant that it has been open for eighteen years.

The entire staff was all about customer service and Chris made amazing food recommendations! We loved the hog chop and highly recommend it. Fantastic!!

EXCELLENT! I can’t say enough good things about this gem. From service, to food, to atmosphere, everything was amazing. Spent our last night in Savannah here for dinner and it was the perfect close for a perfect weekend.

We had our post-wedding ceremony dinner for 35 people on the upper patio 10/3/2025. We were nothing but impressed with the food, decorations and the staff. The planning process was easy and honestly, reasonably priced given the occasion. Our only knit-pick would be that another party was happening on the lower patio during our dinner that made speeches and table conversation hard, however, the staff went out of their way to quiet down the other crowd. Luckily, a speaker with a mic was available from Cha Bella. Unless you rent out the entire space, I would expect for the other patio / areas nearby to have guests. Afterword's, we had quite a few from our own party claim this was the best wedding food they've ever had, and we agree wholeheartedly! Thanks again Candice & team for a wonderful evening

Very disappointed. From the outside, I was excited. Besides the small room to your left when you enter, the rest of the restaurant is cold and sterile. Was seated directly under the AC vent which is not good. The appetizers were delicious. We ordered the bucatini and it was terrible. No flavor at all. The noodles seemed like they were sitting in water for a long time. The bowl also had a lot of water at the bottom. It felt like some important ingredient was missing since there was no flavor. One of the worst pasta dishes I’ve had. To top it off while we were finishing dinner they were rearranging the furniture like we weren’t there.

Went for my daughter's birthday and everything was excellent. Cha Bella also catered her wedding in 2022.
We loved our experience here! We sat outside. It was lovely. Our waiters were extremely attentive and engaging. We were treated very well. I had pasta, my companion had the risotto. Both were amazingly delicious. The pasta was made in house and was perfection. Every employee We encountered was polite, kind, and enthusiastic. It was a pleasure. Thank you for the great experience and delicious food. The cocktails were great as well!

Amazing restuarant. We live in the Atlanta area and make the trip every year when we vacation in Hilton Head. It is about an hour from HH but definitely worth it. If we lived closer we would come all the time. Great food, great drinks, get people! I highly recommend Cha Bella to everyone in the area!

The food was delicious, unfortunately, the experience was not. We were a group of 8. We would greeted & seated promptly. Nina, the hostess, was super friendly & just a doll. Several from our group ordered appetizers for their meal and we asked that they be served with everyone else’s meal. However, they were served first. We waited a very long time for our meals to be served. When they arrived, while tasty, they were lukewarm at best. Our server was nowhere to be found to even address this. When he returned, he offered 1 check or separate checks - we opted for separate. When he asked how our meals were, we shared our disappointment with the temperature & he said we should have told him (again, he was nowhere to be seen). He did try to make for this by discounting our bills by 15%. By doing this, all of the bills were incorrect (& I believe he & the assistant manager they trying to make sure the included 20%gratuity (since we were a party of 8) was on based the original bill was not discounted bill. The calculations were all mixed up & we waited well over 30 mins & they still couldn’t figure it out. I was sharing my bill with a friend and it was not divided in half, mine was $10 more than hers (since we could settle on our own, but it was just very frustrating because they couldn’t figure out the bills). My recommendation would be to give this restaurant a chance since the food was delicious but I’d be very attentive to your service - it was very disappointing.

Service was great employees were great. But the whole time we were there seemed like we were being rushed. I was looking forward to this meal and figured with those prices it would be good. We basically paid 200$ for a steak dinner and appetizer that was completely disappointing. Id probably go for drinks and some appetizers but the food was not worth the prices.
