7 Best Italian Restaurants near Okatie

“We were a little worried about going after we read the reviews. They seemed like they were all over the place. However, we are glad we went. Service was perfect and fast. The Italian rolls with garlic olive oil were amazing. My husband makes similar bread and these seemed homemade. Our entrees were great - we had everything from snapper and mussels, to fettuccine…and we enjoyed it all. The portions for my husband and I were perfect, but my teenage daughters left a little hungry (hard to fill up teenagers!) Going out to eat is always surprisingly expensive, but we would go here again!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian pasta dishes for my vegetarian teenagers.“

“My husband and I had lunch here today,?and we were quite impressed! Our Server Dawn was exceptional! The food was amazing, and we even got to meet Owner/Chef Sadet. The Greek nachos were truly delicious. My husband had the chicken bacon sandwich, and I had salmon locks with cream cheese and capers - absolutely delicious and quite the portions! Dawn took the time to share what the restaurant had to offer. We will definitely be back to enjoy all that this restaurant offers.“

“A number of people had suggested Fazio’s, but it seemed like it was out of the way…and it was from where we are in Bluffton…but well worth the drive. First of all, don’t get put off by the stark cafeteria style sitting, the food and service is amazing. We started with a truly tasty burratta salad, had the sharing portion of spaghetti and finished it off by sharing the rack of lamb, done chef’s choice and it was terrific. Service we splendid and including a half bottle of very good Amerone, we were done at 200bucks, tip extra.“

“Delicious dinner and amazing service. Our waiter (I am embarrassed that I can’t recall his name) was gracious, helpful and charming. The ambiance was lovely and the food amazing.Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten allergy which was completely noted and I was informed that the majority of the dishes were gluten free. I felt extremely comfortable eating there.“

“Recently moved from Pittsburgh and was surprised when we found this place in Bluffton. The atmosphere and decor were great, felt like we were back in our home town. Ordered wings and a pizza. My wife loved the wings, perfect appetizer or meal. Just got mushrooms on the pizza, but it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. The crust was incredible. Definitely our go to place now. Thank you!“

“Quaint little pizza joint, you would think it was special from looking at it. But WOW does the food speak volumes. Ordered the Chicken Pesto and the Supreme pizzas. Easily two of the best, if not the best, pizzas I've ever bought. The Chicken Pesto was unique and the flavor matched perfectly. I don't usually like Supreme Pizza, but had to go back for seconds! The crust was perfectly cooked and the sauce robust but not overwhelming.The prices may seem a bit steep from the outside, but the pizza is well worth the price!!“

“Prime Ribeye steak lived up to the hype! The Manager Doug made a wine pairing suggestion of the Syriah and explained why it worked well and what to look for. That really elevated the experience. Our server was professional, food was delicious, and the ambiance was relaxed and easy. The dark ceilings make for a cozy feeling and acoustically the restaurant was very quiet from sound absorbing materials. Sometimes I have a hard time conversating if the cafe is too loud. My wife and I shared easy conversation and it was a wonderful overall Valentine’s Day dinner. Highly recommend.“
