9 Best Italian Restaurants in Savannah

“One of our favorite places to dine in Savannah. It's wonderful to dine in a beautiful atmosphere where it's quiet enough to have a conversation. Was there last night celebrating a birthday and the service was excellent, the food was delicious, & the tiramisu was to die for. This is all typical for this location. We've always had a great dining experience there.“

“Nice place. My husband's lasagna was a little cold, which makes sense if they're making the food and then refrigerating them to heat up later when ordered. Slightly off-putting, but it didn't detract from the taste. I really liked the sauce on my dish. We'd go again.“

“1. Had the green salad which we shared with my wife and son.
2. We shared 3 pasta dishes. All were good.
3. Grilled octopus was excellent
4. Flounder and branzino were excellent.
5. Olive oil cake and sorbet for dessert.
6. Late reservations so they were out of the steak and focaccia. Too bad.
7. Great service too“

“Excellent service. We timed our visit perfectly using the "Join waitlist" and found a good spot despite it being packed for Valentines Day. The food was great (we had been thinking about the Lasagna Fritta and soup since our last visit with the in-laws and they also loved it). We always take good leftovers and our server was so kind.“

“I absolutely love this hidden gem. Small bistro style with wonderful food. I ordered the gnocchi and it was amazing (see pic) it was the only photo/video I got because I was too busy eating! The shrimp portofino is a must have appetizer. Wonderful service and overall great dining experience.“

“Me and my wife recently went to this amazing gem of savannah. It was on my bucket list for a while and it did not disappoint at all! The sangria we had, had fresh fruit in it! and was tasty. We followed it by the beef and bean soup and salad. the soup was lovely and inviting. We had the stuffed tortellini and the waiter was kind to know that we were splitting the plate so she placed the food on separate plates for us! Sometimes it’s the small things. The food was delicious and hearty. I left full and happy.

Lastly we want to thank the server Sarah and hostess Rena(i hope i spelled them correctly). They were more than accommodating and spoke to us often throughout our meal to ensure we enjoyed ourselves.

Whether you’re a tourist or a local you must try this restaurant. It will definitely be on of regular spots!!“

“Had an amazing New Years Day dinner yesterday! Large portions and everything was delicious. Great sangria too! Our server Chris was most gracious. Definitely will be back when we return to Savannah.“

“We went for breakfast on New Years Day... the staff were nothing but amazing to us!! Thank y’all so much for the good food and wonderful hospitality!! The mimosa was a good touch... we frequently come to Savannah and will come again!!“

“A Magical Reception at Garibaldi – Truly Unforgettable! We hosted our daughter’s wedding reception at Garibaldi in Savannah, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The evening was filled with elegance, warmth, and exceptional service that we will never forget. The passed appetizers were creative, delicious, and beautifully presented—our guests are still raving about them! Dinner was phenomenal, with every plate served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The drinks were flowing all night thanks to the private bar, which gave the reception such an exclusive, intimate feel. While the dance floor was small, it added to the charm and brought everyone together in the best way—it felt personal and joyful rather than over-the-top. The room itself is breathtaking, and somehow it only became more stunning as the night went on. The lighting, the architecture, the ambiance—it all created this romantic, glowing atmosphere that was the perfect backdrop to such a special celebration. The staff was flawless—attentive, professional, and always one step ahead. They made sure every guest felt cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they had everything under control. Garibaldi was more than just a venue—it was part of the magic. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our daughter’s big day. Five stars all the way!“
