From the moment we walked in, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hostess graciously worked us in, even though they were not expecting us. When I asked if we could move outside because we had an infant with us and didn't want to disturb other diners, the manager couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. He moved our table without hesitation and made us feel like it was a pleasure--not an inconvenience. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely exceptional. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already wonderful meal. By the time we left, we felt like family. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the baked ricotta appetizer deserves a special mention--I would come back just for that! Thank you to Andreas and the entire team at Joelle for your outstanding hospitality! Experiences like this are rare, and you have earned customers for life.

We reserved a table inside but it was very noisy so we asked our server if we could move outside instead. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. For an appetizer we got the burrata - nothing special but good. I wish there had been a couple more pieces of bread with it. For my main I got the orecchiette tre porcellini and was warned beforehand that it had a slight spice to it. It definitely did have a little kick but nothing I couldn't handle. Very tasty. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great. I enjoyed my first time here and would definitely consider coming back. Someone near us got a pizza that looked amazing so I'd like to try one of those next. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 doesn't even have anything to do with the restaurant itself. Once before entering the building and multiple times while we were inside, we received stares from numerous different customers. They were all admittedly uppity-looking. It felt like we had eyes on us the whole time. One woman even did a full 180 turn at the bar to glance at us (I could see the bar area from outside when the sun started going down). I'm not sure if this restaurant is frequented more by locals who aren't used to seeing outside people; I live an hour outside Bluffton. But that just kind of dampened the entire experience and made it a bit uncomfortable. We weren't doing or wearing anything to draw attention. And that may very well have been a one-off situation but still something to note.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! While working with clients on Hilton Head…read moreIsland, I dined at Radici in Bluffton; it was an experience I shall not soon forget. The interior decor is chic, modern, clean, and illuminated beautifully; there are tiny black LED lamps on the tables which highlight the food without blinding the guests. Our server, Michelle, was friendly, welcoming, and attentive; she kept the water-glasses filled and the courses served. The restaurant features an open-air kitchen with a wrap-around bar; I was introduced to the chef and was able to speak with him in my (limited) Italian. It was truly wonderful to hear and feel his enthusiasm for excellent, northern Italian cooking! The menu is very small...and that is a good thing. By focussing on only a few dishes, the chef and his team are able to provide an unforgettable culinary experience. The highlight of our dinner was the halibut collar which, if you've never enjoyed, I highly recommend. OH. MY. GOD. Although I have enjoyed many fish courses in my life, this is, was, and remains one of those special meals which I shall remember for a very long time. It was truly exceptional: rhythmic with flavour and firm with texture, sauced gently but appropriately and (absolutely) served piping hot on the plate. I must confess I do not recall the other dishes but they were all very good. I believe there was a squid hors-d'oeuvre which I enjoyed, and a very special 'Black Leather' cocktail (?). I cannot remember a better meal than this, not in a very long time. I absolutely and unequivocally recommend Radici for anyone wishing for modern, beautifully cooked, and served northern Italian cuisine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've often complained of the lack of good food in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area, and Radici is a…read morewonderful exception. I took my family here for Christmas Eve dinner with the intention of doing the tasting menu. We reserved seats at the bar that runs the length of the restaurant, and were seated promptly. Service was very friendly, and we had a great view of the open concept kitchen. Throughout the meal the chef and waitstaff would chat with us and explain what all was on our plates. We started with cocktails. I ordered The Radici, which had mezcal and beet juice, certainly not a common combination in my experience. They have an aperol spritz equivalent that my mother and girlfriend raved over as quite refreshing. The meal started with an oyster as an amuse bouche, a great local touch given the popularity of oysters in the area. Stuck with seafood for the first course, with halibut flan being something I'm still a bit confused by as a concept, though that did not stop me from enjoying it. The second course continued to be innovative relative to what is usually found in the area, with ravioli stuffed with broth and filling on the outside. Third course was lamb, and was well done. Finally dessert was a roasted panettone for Christmas Eve that was very tasty with chocolate cream. One small improvement would be the option to pair the tasting menu with wine selections, but we were able to get along fairly well with some help from the waiter ordering a couple of bottles of wine. Overall a welcome addition to the area that I could easily see myself returning to when in town.

From the…read morewelcoming atmosphere to the incredible food, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the fresh ingredients used throughout each dish, which made the meal stand out. We started with the Arancini, and they were fantastic! Crispy and golden on the outside with a delicious, savory, cheesy center. Served over a flavorful tomato sauce and finished with Parmesan and fresh basil, they were the perfect start to the meal. The Chicken Parmesan was another standout. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and topped with flavorful marinara and a generous layer of melted cheese. The pasta and fresh tomato sauce complemented it perfectly, making this a hearty and satisfying dish. The Fettuccine Alfredo was rich, creamy, and incredibly comforting. The sauce was smooth and flavorful, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the Parmesan and fresh basil added the perfect finishing touch. What really impressed us was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and carefully prepared rather than mass-produced. Overall, Pomodori exceeded our expectations. Every dish we tried was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. If you're visiting Hilton Head Island and looking for excellent Italian food made with quality ingredients, Pomodori is definitely worth a visit!

We were six this time & have had the same lackadaisical waiter who was never around. How he's been there this long is beyond me. I cringe when we sit in his section, knowing I'll have to ask for things when they have such better servers! The staff running the food is delightful & helpful too. The restaurant has photos of Chef making the pasta & is light & bright. Always pleasant to go too. We split our time between HHI & Midwest & always manage to go at least 2xs per visit. I can't wait for more meatballs!

The owner/cook and 2 waiters (who also seat, pack to go, bus, expedite, etc.). I did notice an odd smell (like urine) but no one else seemed bothered. The burrata appetizer was good and presented well. Next up the entrees. We had veal Marsala which was average and chicken piccata. The chicken piccata tasted baked not fried (strange) but the sauce was good and gf pasta was great! Lastly, the dessert... tiramisu. The waiter said it was homemade and highly recommended. It was very cold from the refrigerator but otherwise was fine. I had high hopes coming in but I'd give an average overall rating.

The restaurant was pretty busy, but they did have adequate staff available so we were offered drinks right away.

We shared a burrata and it came with four slices of tomatoes and two balls of burrata drizzled with balsamic over some romaine lettuce. It was a nice start to the meal. I had the chicken marsala and my aunt had the chicken parmesan. The portion size was adequate and her pasta and veal had a lot of red sauce on it. The marsala sauce was a bit thin, and I would've liked more on my pasta. We each had a glass of wine which was served quickly and complemented the meal nicely. The server was attentive and the food was hot. Overall, it was a good, not great experience.

Overall, the dishes were good except the spaghetti itself. It tasted chewy and gummy. The spaghetti texture is what ruined the two dishes (the veal dish & kid-sized meal). Our kid disliked the spaghetti and normally that's their favorite never-fail dish. The veal dish would've tasted more cohesive if the spaghetti texture was al dente as opposed to the gummy chewy texture. The halibut dish was delicious so no note on that. And so was the stuffed ravioli. Other than that, the restaurant ambience was nice and has an intimate settings throughout. The staff were friendly except that they could've refilled my ice tea sooner. I had to ask for a refill even though they had stopped by our table twice before that to check on us.
