We shared the Mussels Marinara appy And we shared the arugula salad We had 2 glasses of wine each and had a pasta entree and the octopus calamari entree.

My sister and I shared a funghi pizza and a margarita. The mushroom was delicious, but super-rich. Dare I say, less cheese might be better. I absolutely loved the simple flavors of the margarita pizza and determined it to be exquisite. The Neopolitan crust is marvelous! Friends had the chicken pesto orecchiette and The Godfather sandwich. The pesto dish was beautiful and the pesto was mild--more pine nutty than basil. Needed more parm in my friend's opinion. I thought the burrata was amazing. The sandwich was a huge meat bomb and was accompanied by a side salad. I'd go back to try many other entrees and I'll sit at the bar, which felt more intimate. Staff were all friendly and accommodating.

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!

In a word: simplicity. To truly capture the value of this Northern Italian gem would require…read morevolumes, yet it balances the "casual fine dining" tightrope with effortless grace. From the moment we arrived, the tone was set by a hostess who was sharp, articulate, and precise--a perfect ambassador for the front of house. Our server, Sophia, was a consummate professional and a delight to have at our table. She and the rest of the team seem to glide through the room, maintaining a watchful eye on every guest without ever feeling intrusive. The restaurant is defined by a simple elegance. Unlike many modern spots, the tables aren't overburdened; there is generous space between guests and seating so comfortable you could easily linger for hours. The culinary presentation is tantalizing. Every plate that passed us made us second-guess our order until our own arrived. * The Chef's Menu: Every element of every course was executed with pinpoint accuracy. * The Halibut: A "safer" choice that proved to be perfect in every way. * The Wine: An amazing, curated selection that complements the menu beautifully. The Verdict The chef-owners have assembled an elite staff and a dining experience that feels both refined and welcoming. They are a magnificent addition to the Bluffton community, and I expect them to be a local staple for a long time. Pro Tip: Do not miss the bread dessert (the name escapes me, but perhaps the team can remind me in their reply!).

I'd tried to get in here twice in the last month, so I recommend making reservations--you'll get turned away at the door for sure, and folks were queued up before the 5pm dinner opening. The interior is welcoming and there's ample space between some oversized high tops and traditional tables. Our server, Kylie, was an absolute peach. She was so friendly and sweet, and she really catered to our needs. There were 4-5 additional specials recited once we sat down. I do wish if servers are going to read specials, they should also include the prices. Since the entire menu was moderately priced (when you consider the area), I didn't think the veal ossobuco would be a $50 entree, but it was my fault for not asking outright. Delicious for sure, but if I were pinching pennies, I may have opted for several other dishes. But truthfully, I found my selections to be excellent. The bread service is unusual but awesome! Warm crusty Scali bread and all diners get their own individual saucers of dipping oil. My post-Covid self thinks this is the best idea ever and every restaurant should do this!! Everyone enjoyed their appetizer & entree choices, though my sister felt the chicken Marsala needed more Marsala flavor. The Caesar was outstanding and the wedding soup flavorful. The ossobuco was melt-in-your mouth tender. I loved the bone marrow garnish as well. My Bananas Foster cake was as if banana bread, caramel cake & pecan pie had a baby. I tasted the Tres Leche cake but it was a little underwhelming for me. I was surprised there was only one traditional Italian dessert (limoncello cake) offered among 3 types of cheesecakes and some chocolate options. No tiramisu, cannoli or spumoni here. But again, the food is delicious and I understand why you seriously need to make a reservation if you want to get in here. My first time but not my last!

Pomodori offers a small and intimate dining environment with a bar in the back half of the restaurant. We started with the fried artichokes and split a ceasar salad. The artichoke portion was delicious! Lightly fried artichokes with a lemon aioli sauce - artichokes are not cheap and I was surprised at how large a portion is given. Ceasar salad was perfectly dressed, not drowning in dressing and all greens were fresh and crisp. Entrees included the salmon ala piccata with angel hair pasta. My wife enjoyed it immensely but warns it comes with plenty of garlic so beware. I had the flounder francese and substituted pappardelle for linguini.. Flounder was great, the thin egg battered fish was perfect and the pappardelle was a must have - perhaps best ive had Fully satisfied we opted to pass on dessert but I have faith it would have been delicious. For those of you who are big eaters I have to make a point Pomodori's portions will bot leave you hungry! Buon appetito e arrivederci

The restaurant was pretty busy, but they did have adequate staff available so we were offered drinks right away. The bread that was brought out was very small pillow like rectangular pieces with some olive oil and balsamic to dip in. It was cold and not very impressive. 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.

We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was friendly and obviously very overworked. Only 3 people were working on this fairly busy Friday night. 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.
