Really great job with the remodel and change from the mansion at Forsythe. Ambiance and service were great. Can't say enough about our waitress. She was beyond expectations. The pasta we had just wasn't our jam. Maybe someone else's would appreciate it more. Let's go to the show stealer. GO FOR THE DESERTS! We heard great things about the pastry chef. She didn't disappoint. Just wow. Couldn't believe how amazing both deserts we picked were 10/10. Can't do a 5 star only because the pasta and apps we had fell a little flat. read more

The food was okay but the manager was a creep and spent a good portion of our meal trying to talk to our group of 4 women. Probably would not book again. Definitely not worth the price read more

For a group of ten, we had a lovely evening at St. Bibiana - the food was perfection, the drinks were stellar. If you are an espresso martini fan, this is a must try - from drink, to three courses or more - deliciousness is the word to describe from start to finish. Danny and Hans took the very best care of us. Not to mention, the aesthetic of the restaurant is stunning. read more

Stephanie was our server, she was very sweet and gave great service. Lucas ran our food to the table and was very knowledgeable and so nice to chat with. Bella at the bar made AMAZING drinks, one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. The food was all so delicious, and every staff member was so friendly. Will definelty be back! read more

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with amazing staff. I attended Saint Bibiana with a group of eight and was accommodated wonderfully. We had a large table in their main area which made the experience feel lavish, private, and spacious. Our server Philip was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He recommended us items and courses on the menu that were truly spectacular. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a beautiful fancy dinner! read more

Saint Bibiana - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Dined at Saint Bibiana on Saturday July 6, 2024. Great setting with a small bar as soon as you enter the restaurant. The restaurant is composed of several different rooms of varying sizes for small to large parties but, with that, you don't have the noise level of one large room containing guests. Great character and ambience. Staff was knowledgeable and attentive without a lot of intrusive conversation, very helpful. The food is upscale Italian with a very nice assortment of choices without being overwhelming. Our table shared two Antipasti's, the Grilled Calamari and Arancini Alla Siciliana, both prepared very well and delivered hot. For our salads we shared the Summer Panzanella Salad, and our main courses were, Grilled Mediterranean Branzino with oven-dried tomatoes and Sicilian anise and Pork Rotolo, two excellent entrees! This is a high quality restaurant in a historic setting. Great experience. read more

No photos were taken because of the incredible experience and living in the moment but 10/10 recommend!!! Service was phenomenal and food was amazing!!! Must stop by if you are in Savannah!!! read more

We had a great date night at Saint Bibiana! We were seated promptly as we had a reservation and they kindly moved us to our preferred table when we asked. It was a culinary experience like none other, truly a first time for us and we had such a great time! Great drinks, great food, awesome atmosphere and incredible service. read more

Saint Bibiana - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Fantastic food, but absolutely HORRIBLE service. We came here highly recommended by friends for our anniversary dinner. Waited 30+ minutes for drinks...another 30+ for food, had to ask for bread service multiple times. Felt constantly forgotten by our waiter as if it was a chore to check on us. The service ruined our experience which is very unfortunate because by the time we got our food, it was great. I will not be recommending this place to anyone and will not be back, solely due to the service alone. read more

I can't say enough good things about Saint Bibiana. We had the best experience eating there. The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff were incredible and super knowledgeable about the menu, and just the right amount of attentive while giving us space. read more

What a stellar dinner right next to Forsyth Park! My wife and I decided to take a gamble on being able to sit at the bar for dinner tonight when we couldn't get a reservation and it really paid off. The vibes inside were immaculate and the service we got from everyone inside was impeccable. I couldn't find one thing to complain about if I had to. We both particularly enjoyed the arancini, truffled sunchokes, and porchetta. We would absolutely come back! read more

We had a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner. We were seated immediately, off to a great start, but then we were forgotten. After 20 minutes we finally flagged someone down. We were finally brought waters and someone different took our drink order. We waited some more, drinks came and delivered by who we thought was our server. He nervously babbled on about the menu and left them for us to review. We waited some more and saw the server behind the bar mixing drinks and flagged down someone else to take our order. We asked her if we could at least get some bread. She brought some over and took our order. We waited about 40mins more and the appetizers finally came. We had the oysters. They were very good but extremely small. It is now 10pm and our entree finally arrives, the spaghetti pomodoro. It was really good but my husband did not have any because he cannot eat that late due to his acid reflux. I felt guilty for recommending this place to my friend who actually made the reservation and we joined them. My first experience here was exceptional because of the ambiance, the service, and amazing food. Well, at least they got 2 out of 3 right. We are locals and doubt we will be back. read more

I went to this restaurant for a business meeting; it was everyone's first time there. We enjoyed everything. The food is served "coastal style" so small plates/family style. Everyone in the group knew each other well so this was fine for us but might not be the case for everyone. The oysters were wonderful and not too salty or fishy. The bread selections were both amazing. The tiny ramekin made it hard to get to the balsamic under the oil when dipping the bread but this might be intentional. The duck dish was surprising and delightful. The truffle potatoes were good but nothing extraordinary. Both pasta dishes we tried were excellent. I got the buttery/oaky white wine and enjoyed it. We were too full for dessert so will have to visit again to try their selection. The hosts and servers were all very pleasant and welcoming! We loved the ambiance and decor. Overall I would say this was an excellent dining experience. read more

My wife and I attended their Christmas Eve Prix Fixe dinner 2023. The service staff at last night's Christmas Eve dinner were all exceptional. Our server Sydney was attentive, personable and very professional. She knew ingredients, wine pairing suggestions and was a joy to have met. As was the very talented Neil at the bar. The meal was a good. The pasta and whole bronzino were the standouts. The pasta was stellar. A bit up and down from there. First off, a lot of food. From my observations many tables took at least one course to go. Us included. Not a complaint. Just an observation. The dessert too was a bell ringer. And this from someone who very seldom gets to dessert. The balance of sweet and sour in the lemoncello tiramisu was absolutely perfect! I'd revisit the restaurant in the future, but focus on the pasta offerings, as that was truly a standout dish. Congratulations to the crew there and welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Service was terrible and disappointing. Javier was our server. He forgot to take drink orders, he forgot to bring some entrees and we had to beg for bread . The main room was loud and conversation was nearly impossible. The food was very good , but there are many great places in our city - where both the food and service are perfect . Interestingly enough, one woman in our group had this same waiter Javier and well- once again he forgot food items and caused a very frustrating date night. read more

One of the best dinners I have had in a very long time. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. All the dishes were packed with flavor and the table side bread was one of the best I've ever experienced. The menu was diverse, fresh, and filled with flavors that all magically worked together. My server Kristen went above and beyond with her service and was so upbeat and positive - she made my experience 10/10. I am already planning my trip back! The ambiance is dark, warm and inviting. read more

Saint Bibiana - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

great food, awful service. I dined there on Monday evening and had one of the best meals and experiences, so I thought. I was incorrectly charged twice the amount I should have and no one from the restaurant or hotel will assist me with correcting the charge. They won't answer their phone and the hotel is incredibly unhelpful and just keeps transferring me to saint bibianas voicemail. I left a message with my name and phone number and sent an email but still have not been helped. You would think for such a high end hotel and restaurant they would provide better customerservice. read more

First, I must commend Sharon for her excellent service, attentiveness, and delightful personality. She is here from South Africa and Saint Bibiana is lucky to have her! The food was filled with wonderful flavors...loved the burrata and Dover sole. Will be back! read more

St Bibiana is an amazing restaurant and wonderful food experience. Everything we order is fresh and delicious. It's about time Savannah has an Italian restaurant Love this place and the staff is amazing read more

Every bite was perfect! It is hard for my vegan friend and my Carnivore self to find a place we can agree upon for dinner, but this was amazing. The ambience, the service, the food, the wine selection, all pull together for an amazing dining experience. We've already made a reservation to come back! A special shout out to the pastry chef, the bread was exceptional, and her sorbet is something special to behold. I absolutely cannot believe it was vegan! read more

I prefer the dinner menu. Better choice of Italian meals. Service was excellent. I will come back for dinner.

This is a very charming elegant restaurant with impeccable service and outstanding food. From the focaccia to the gelato and everything in between we enjoyed every bite. We shared the mushroom toast which was excellent followed by the Pipe Rigate Verde - so delicious and light and the Branzino that melted in your mouth - perfectly prepared, a side of truffle potatoes tender and flavorful and lastly- not that we had room or needed it - the balsamic fig gelato-- was the best finishing touch. Philip was our main server. He really knows the menu and wines, was present but not interfering. Sharon, his teammate, paid close attention and knew exactly when we needed more water, dishes cleared .... This is a great place for a special night or when you just want a great evening. read more

I'm so happy this is the newest addition to Savannah. I visit town every year for the film festival and as a New Yorker I've been dying to find a restaurant that is NYC coded - can't say enough good things about SB. The ambiance, the service, the drinks, the food, the unique spot it's in. I came here with coworkers and we got wine, martinis (with bleu cheese olives, YUM), sunchokes, prosciutto and melon, heirloom tomatoes with sourdough and ricotta, and pesto pasta. Oh and the complimentary bread is chefs kiss! Chef Derek is so talented. This is perfect for visitors, birthday celebrations, catching up with friends, date night, etc. Each room has a unique charm to it. Everything was perfect, down to the branded napkins and coastal blue menus. Can't wait to go next year when I'm back! read more

Loved loved the ambience stepping into the bar lounge area that welcomes you. There's seating around the bar area for lighter fare or drinks, Very well thought out. There's enough space to have a full meal at the bar it's very quaint and not too large just enough to have the attention of the bartenders without getting lost in the service. The only down side, the stools without back support. I decided to try the Coriander rubbed ahi Tuna Crudo, lemon oil and all the flavors where just perfect. Grilled octopus is always something that's if on a menu I try and many times disappointed. If you put something like this on the menu you'd better know what your doing. Not at all here the portions of the octopus where generous perfectly prepared and the flavors where on point. Finally, i ordered Pasta Pomodoro e Pesto and again not at all disappointed...the pasta perfectly cooked was served over the pesto not over powering the flavor of the sauce I can't wait to return and try it all. Make it a place to try while in Savannah. read more

Very expensive for relatively average tasting food. Service was quite slow and the four meals came out: 2, 1 and 1. Separated by five minutes and 10 minutes respectively. When we complained, we were told that they don't use heat lamps and getting four plates ready at the same time is really difficult. It took over 20 minutes for the dessert. On a bright note, the space very pleasing and they made several great cocktails. We will not return. read more

All I can say is wow. We had the best server and the food was amazing. The drinks were amazing and the place was beautiful on the inside. We celebrated my wife's birthday here and couldn't have chosen a better spot. We had the octopus which was perfect and the best beet salad I have ever had. Each one of our 4 had different pastas and they were all very good. read more

Spectacular dinner from start to finish. The restaurant is in a beautiful old home, large yet intimate and comfortable. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The homemade food was amazing, made with the best ingredients. Definitely coming back on my next visit to Savannah. Thank you to everyone that works there read more

Nice, but it didn't live up to the hype. The build out is pretty and the cocktails were good. Entrees for the table came out 10 minutes apart from each other and both the pasta and the steak were over. The staff was distracted. If they're aiming for a Star, they have a long way to go. read more

Stayed at Hotel Bardo and both the front desk & bar hyped the restaurant. There were four of us and our experience is mixed. Being from Chicago we have eaten in a lot of Italian restaurants. Walking into St. Bibiana the ambiance is lovely. A convergence of authentically old with tasteful modern running throughout the dining rooms. I appreciated all the tableware and cut glass - simply gorgeous. I ordered a vodka martini that came out more old school neat, not shaken but I can go with that. Our server was attentive and explained that the chef prepared the items to be shared. We started with oysters that were about the size of a quarter, being close to the ocean I expected a more sweet sea flavor. A small baguette toast with mushrooms was next. I liked that but it's more because of scarcity, my husband won't eat mushrooms so I seldom cook with them at home. We then ordered the Bistecca Florentine that was delicious and a side of potatoes. We ordered two pasta dishes: one was described as having a pizza flavor - Cavatelli Sardi. Unfortunately it had too many red pepper flakes which overpowered the fresh pasta and other flavors. The Campanelli was very good, creamy with a nicely grated sharp cheese on top. Both dishes were moderately sized, enough for everyone to have a taste but not really for sharing. The four of us weren't exactly full, so we ordered Cappuccino and dessert. Frankly I don't remember the dessert which is saying something since I can still recall the warm pecan pie with fresh whipped cream from another Savannah restaurant. read more

One of the best meals we've had while dining out! Each course got better and better! The Panzanella Salad is just ridiculous! The burrata, off the charts good! Everyone loved their entrees! We dined with a group of 8 and the service was fantastic! Attentive but not overbearing. The restaurant itself was well appointed and beautiful. Leave your shorts and t-shirts at home. This experience is best enjoyed well dressed! We will be back! read more

Whatever you do, be sure you ask for one of the FEMALE waitresses!!!! I've gone here twice, and BOTH times have had 2 different male waiters who were HORRENDOUS!! Especially at this price point.

We were a party of six out for a holiday dinner. Due to the size of our party we tried a large portion of the menu and it did not disappoint. Standouts were the pasta dishes and the branzio. Certainly the best pasta we've encountered in Savannah. Prices were on par with the food and service, we were right at $100 per person with two cocktails each. Special recognition to Javier who took care of us for the evening. Fantastic job explaining the menu and presenting the dishes without being pretentious. He also did a fantastic job matching the energy of the table creating a memorable experience. read more

Truly don't understand a single bad review of this restaurant. The food, drink, environment, and service exceeded every expectation we imagined. Ate here last night and would come back today if we could. Please don't pass on this place, and definitely don't pass on the burrata. Hope to be back soon! read more

This was agreed upon by all four of us... one of the finest dining experiences, anywhere, ever. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. I love the ambiance of separate rooms, so elegant and quiet. Our server, Kristen, was as knowledgeable as could be. Very friendly but still very professional. She enhanced the entire experience. Pasta dishes were uniformly delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys fine dining in a uniquely beautiful setting. read more

Absolute gem. The service, food, and decor were absolutely fantastic. Our waitress was so lovely, the hostess was kind and even sat us somewhere new because she saw us admiring how beautiful the seating was, and then the food was just magnificent. Would absolutely go back! read more

High expectations but sorely disappointed. The Charcuterie board was so sparce with food especially for the cost. One hard boiled egg cut in half, barely half a cup of berries, one small fig, a tiny square of honeycomb, three extremely thin slices of prosciutto, two small slices of cheese. This is not a charcuterie. My friend ordered the egg white frittata with no cheese. She clearly stated lactose intolerant. When our food came 30 minutes later sure enough it was covered with melted cheese. They said it would be another 15 minutes to replace it. Needless to say she said no. Then they had the audacity to charge her $6 for the toast. The service was terrible and we had to flag down the server for more hot water for the tea. There were not very many customers so I don't understand the wait. This was a birthday brunch. It was an epic fail. We will not be back, nor recommend to our friends. And yes we are local not tourists and we dine out frequently. The dining area itself was nicely done but not enough to entice a return. read more
