12 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.“

“We were fortunate to have dined at St. Bibiana this evening and it was an experience to remember. The food, top notch, the staff was top notch and they went above and beyond. We can’t wait for our return visit!!! We highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!!!“

“The most authentic Italian food out of Italy. When a friend recommended me this spot for lunch while visiting Savannah, I was not sure about it but so happy I did go! I went there 2 times during my time in town and just didn't go a 3rd because they are closed on Sundays. Best pasta I have eaten out of Italy! I grew up Sao Paulo (largest Italian community out of Italy) and the food here is better, I currently live in SD, also large Italian community and neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, nothing gets close to here. You MUST try it. Alessandro and his team are amazing, I am definitely coming back whenever I am in town.“

“For a mid tier national chain, you really got to give them credit. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food comes out quick and is pretty good. Nothing amazing but you will be relatively happy and for sure quite full. Good value as well for sure.“

“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.“

“Veratina was our first spot for mother daughter lunch of the year! Food and vibes were great!“

“I love our neighborhood Italian restaurant. Good for everything from pizza, to pasta bakes, to their gorgonzola steak. Their bread sticks are wonderful. My husband will go just for the side salad. I love Joe's soup. We love the Sangria.“

“Pizza was delicious!! First time ordering there!! Definitely will be back“

“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!“

“Food is delicious!!!! 🤤 try the fried cheese as an app and the kabob for your meal!!! Sooooo good!!!!“

“Came in looking for something light for lunch. Got the Ischia. Awesome! Just the thing for walking around!“

“this place truly never disappoints. Every time I come in, the energy is amazing. Everyone is always so happy, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. They always take great care of me, even with my crazy and unique orders, and never make it feel like a hassle. That kind of service really stands out. Zari is MVP, always on point, and the entire staff stays cheerful and positive. It’s a great vibe every single time that’s why I keep coming back.”“
