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 food was amazing from the bread & sauce, to the salad I had to the meal. I made a custom pasta with saffron sauce & chicken fettuccine. The whole family loved their food. They have a cute little nick-nack area that sells authentic Italian desserts, candies, jellies, etc. The taste was absolutely 💯 👌 Italian authentic & we will be back“

“Olive Garden is usually a great choice when you're looking for an American-Italian restaurant. I've visited this location multiple times, and unfortunately I've had the same server, CAYDEN, on several occasions. Each visit has been a disappointing experience.

Service has consistently been very slow, and he often seems unaware of the guests assigned to his tables. On multiple visits, it has taken 10 minutes or more just to receive water after our drink orders were taken. Since water is typically the first item brought to the table, these delays create a poor first impression and make the overall dining experience frustrating.

I enjoy Olive Garden and have had many positive experiences at other locations, but the consistently slow service from the same server has made me hesitant to return to this particular restaurant.“

“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!“

“Ordered a meal for one for takeout after driving into town from Florida. Was searching for a local Italian spot and this one came highly recommended. Staff was attentive upon my arrival and food was ready on time. I ordered online and loved that I could modify my sides. Hot and fresh. Great portions. Felt price was a little high when ordering but delivered on value once I saw what I get for the money.

I had the NY strip & was able to try both spaghetti marinara and fettuccine alfredo alongside it (as a pasta lover, I loved this was an option when ordering). Steak was cooked perfectly, held its medium rare cook despite being take out and had a flavorful sauce. Both the fettuccini and spaghetti were well cooked and had good sauces, although I found the marinara more flavorful. Green beans were good and topped with cheese. The freshly grated parmesan provided was also a nice touch and was enjoyed drizzled on the spaghetti.

The only negative of the meal was the two provided breadsticks. I found both to be flat, wilted, and soggy. I found the flavor of the breadstick alone to be unfavorable but it was palatable once dipped in the provided marinara. Would return for dine in or order takeout again in the future.“

“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!“

“For this being a Philly steak shop in a mall, it is outstanding. The triple melt is my absolute favorite sandwich. It has generous toppings and the flavor cannot be beat. We tried the plain Philly cheesesteak tonight and it outperformed anything that you can get locally for the price. The bread is so soft and warm, We will definitely be back.“
