Our entrees were expertly prepared and presented. They offered a number of lovely cocktails that pleased the rest of my party, while I enjoyed a glass of the lovely Austin Hope Cab. I'm knocking off a star for the excessively loud 80's music curated by an aging DJ, along with over-worked waitstaff that were challenged to respond to every party. Expensive (for Rapid City), but a lovely splurge to celebrate the birthday of our friend. I only wish that the temperature (103F at 6 pm) would have allowed us to sit on the rooftop patio.

We made reservations a few months ago for this restaurant. Very thankful we did as it was full to the brim! The decor and ambiance brought us back to the roaring 20's.

Wish I had the recipe! My husband & I had the specialty pasta for the evening....a ricotta and herb filled tortellini with a melt in your mouth herbed chicken breast...all in a creamy light red sauce. Fantastic! Our friends had the beef filet (cooked perfectly by the way) and the Elk ribs. They both said they were the best they've ever had! We all shared the combination dessert plate....plentiful!

They loved playing games and getting tickets and then getting their junky candy and trinkets as prizes. We did eat here on our first visit. I ordered a wedge salad and shared a pepperoni and mushroom pizza with my husband. The kids had kids meals. Portions were huge, but the food was pretty unremarkable or worse. The wedge salad was off. I think the lettuce had frozen and then then thawed. After one bite, I decided to stop eating rather than risk food poisoning. The pizza was maybe a step up above Chuck E Cheese? Bland but very greasy/oily. The kids meals had huge portions that neither kid could finish. I had a cocktail that was mostly juice. Very drinkable because it was juice. Thankfully it was a bargain (only $9.99). But other than the food stuff, the family had fun here. Enough that my husband took the kids back again (after dinner) the next night.

The place was selected by realtor as she is a native of Rapid City and knows the restaurant well and highly recommended it. Interestingly, it was not busy when I arrived a little before Noon. It grew somewhat more crowded as lunchtime went on. My realtor and I both ordered BLT sandwiches which came out promptly. I asked for mine on white toast; the bacon was cooked perfectly, and the lettuce was crisp and the tomato perfectly ripe and juicy. It made for a nice little mess! :-) The establishment has been redone internally and while the building may have once been a car repair garage, it is clean, inviting and decorated well.

It is now circling the drain, and would be best suited for a complete overhaul.

Very nice wine list! My husband and I were both craving cream based pasta so he had the classic fettuccine Alfredo and I had a fabulous green base tortellini with a blue cheesy sauce that was absolutely divine. Oh and we also shared a phenomenal beet salad and their bread set up with the olive oil and balsamic was fresh and delicious and the perfect compliment to dinner. While we did not have dessert, they had some lovely-sounding tiramisu and gelato - definitely on the docket for next trip. We would highly recommend this lovely Italian restaurant in downtown Rapid City for a night out when you are craving good Italian food! We had a five star experience ***** We will definitely be back soon!!

We ate at Sabatino's our first night in town. The wait staff was very kind and prompt, and the…read moreambiance was great. Our water was quickly replenished and food served quickly. However, the main purpose (the meal) left a lot... quite a lot.. to be desired. The complimentary bread was stale and dry, and was a square style bread. It wasn't sourdough, focaccia or ciabatta, I really couldn't put my finger on it but wasn't appetizing. It was also served on a stained wood cutting/serving board which immediately turned me away from it. My husband gave it a go and gave the above feedback. The pasta, while al dente (my husband noted his was actually too al dente) was unfortunately really bland. Typically when I come across this, I can make with salt and pepper or chili flakes in this instance to make it more appealing, but that wasn't the case here. It just seemed overall the quality of ingredients were low and the meal was bland. I was looking for garlic, olive oil or something to add flavor in our dishes (he got a seafood pasta and I got a pomodoro with meatballs) The meatball portion was truly underwhelming. While not dry, completely lacking in flavor. Just a really soft texture with ground beef taste and nothing quite else. I couldn't quite taste the tomato in any part of either of our dishes. While I understand there could be a thought that it was meant to be a more "authentic" style as written in a prior review, one of the key components when making an "authentic" anything is quality ingredients and unfortunately this was not the case here. While convenient and cost-effective to source from Sysco or U.S. Foods, pricing above $20 a plate for a pasta dish that doesn't have flavor is a disappointing experience for most diners. At minimum, we would've loved a better quality bread, a more fresh, flavorful sauce for my husband and I's dishes, and for the noodles to be cooked in salted pasta water or until no longer crunchy. I got about 5 bites in before I unfortunately gave up on the dish. I'll give the same tip I give to all with flavor concerns: taste the food you're serving. If you find it doesn't meet at least 1 of the 5 pillars of taste (salt,fat,acid,heat,umami) then I recommend some tweaks!
