Absolutely the the greatest place in Macon. Great food and great service. I wish they sold The pineapple cake year round!

From out of town and first timer. Overall, phenomenal experience and would highly recommend. This place is a higher end dining establishment, so be ready to pay $$$ for really good food and service. I'll rate things via category to be fair: Food/drink: overall, they knocked this category out of the park. Drinks were perfectly crafted and food was perfectly cooked/prepared. We had calamari as an appetizer. It reminded me of the time I spent in Italy. Was lightly breaded and very tender. I had the filet for dinner and my wife had the shrimp/pesto. Both were perfectly cooked and loaded with flavor. Service: this is where they absolutely crushed it. I randomly called on a Thursday afternoon, the weekend before Valentine's day. I expected they'd turn me away because their website said they were booked. However, they bent over backwards to get us a table. Furthermore, the service through and through was second to none. The hospitality was akin to what I expect in Las Vegas. Price: this place is expensive, but it's worth the money. It's the kind of place you go for special occasions. Well worth the price though. Overall: I recommend this place to anyone who lives in the area or is just passing through. It's a little pricey, but well worth the money. I hope this review is helpful. read more

Great place, food is awesome, friendly staff. Outdoor seating is available which is recommended as well

Wonderful romantic atmosphere. Food was cooked perfectly and the bread pudding is one of the best desserts I have ever had.

Our hotel was in walking distance of this beautiful restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant was amazing. The food was delicious. The wine was delicious. When we visit Macon, we will definitely visit again. read more

Natalia's was worth the 544-mile drive from Boca Raton!...after 10 hours on the road, the last 4 in rain, we stopped to overnight in Macon and wanting a drink and a good meal, selected Natalia's which was close to the hotel....who would of thunk a great Italian restaurant would be nestled among simple hotels in Macon GA. Seriously great food, service, ambiance, and background music best described as jazzy classical??? I have been to hundreds of Italian restaurants all over the country, and honestly, this place was one of the best. If you are in the area for whatever reason, a visit there will soothe the road wear. read more

3 nights in a row Should have quit after 2 Fish is great first 2 nights and service Tonight and lasagna was sad and service was not good. Very disappointed after spending over $1500.00 in 3 days. Sorry for review. read more

I am only giving it two stars because our waiter Val provides excellent service. He always has. I have been going to Natalias since I was 13. I am 47 now. What was once one of the most outstanding meals you could eat is now nothing more than a WAY OVERPRICED basic restaurant. Yes, Natalia left but it could have withstood that if the management would have left the menu alone. Now I wouldn't go there if it was free. I hope they correct things before it completely goes under. If it does it will be a sad loss of what was once the one place you had to eat at in Macon. read more

Eating my girlfriend's leftover risotto with crab. Every bite has crab shell in it. Service was good, food is not worth what they charge.

Too expensive and the food is not as good as Olive Garden. Save your money. It's more trouble than it's worth!

It's an icon for the area. We tried it tonight for the first time. The service was impeccable. From hostess to wait staff the service experience left nothing wanted. The food was cooked to perfection. We had the filet and rack of lamb. Even though we took our dessert home, it was exquisite. All said, for the area, I felt the experience was a bit overpriced. There are equally reputable restaurants in the area that would be $100 less. Although we didn't go expecting a steal, the prices still felt exorbitant which diminished the experience. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant. But now it's just a restaurant that I used to know. Since the original owner/founder sold this restaurant, the standards and quality have dropped tremendously. We spent over $400 on a meal that tasted basic. Since Natalia left, I am so tired of being disappointed each time I go.. so alas, this will likely be my final entry (visit). Eating out in the time of covid, service standards have changed - and I get that. So this review is based with that understanding. 1) bartender please wear your mask when serving my drink. This is your restaurant's requirement and you shouldn't be above compliance just because you are lord bartender 2) the Dranks - you cant fix a bad drink by filling it up with seltzer water. This isn't a college dive bar. Do better. 3) the appetizers - the tuna used to be my favorite. When I ordered it this time it made me wonder if I ever liked it before? The calamari - was tender but the cream sauce had no taste and seemed like a desperate match. I had intended to order the red snapper for my main course but after the pitiful tasting tuna and calamari I didn't want to risk it. 4) the risotto - I am thankful I ordered the half portion cause it was bland and tasted old (like it had been resting in a pot waiting for someone to order) and I don't like to waste food. I found myself looking for seasoning but alas, salt and pepper were no where to be found (cause it's not on the table - thanks covid). 5) the lasagna - the full portion was as big as my half portion. Also how do you ruin $40 lasagna? Apparently you just forgo quality standards and make is slightly burned on top. overall - Pretty doesn't make it taste better. It's obvious someone has the original recipes from Natalia's playbook but is rushing through with no heart, the high quality you could expect with each meal is completely gone. (My husband also pointed out that prices are up. So that is just the cherry on the top.) 1 star for the wine selection 1 star for a COVID pass read more

Great atmosphere, Friendly prompt service. Appetizer, meal was good as usual. Desserts and coffee was and excellent way to end the evening. Thanks, for another excellent annual wedding Anniversary celebration. read more

Made the mistake of returning, mine and my wife's fish in parchment was raw. I would have starved to death if i had. It ordered the calamari as an appetizer. It was over breaded and i am sure frozen but it t was edible. That's twice with a bad experience, things sure have changed since it changed hands. This place used to serve impeccable dishes. read more

Clearly wants to be a fancy Italian restaurant. White table cloths, dim lighting, thick curtains. The dining experience felt pretty pretentious when the food didn't hold up to the act. I could tell the ingredients were fresh, which I appreciated. But overall, the meal left my tastebuds with something to be imagined. My mom had carbonara. It was good but at the same time, maybe only a few levels up from Olive Garden. I had the special, a fish topped with crab. Again, it was good. Worth $45? Nah. read more

Upscale Italian restaurant suitable for special occasions. Wonderful atmosphere. Recommend reservations. Best Caesar salad I've ever eaten, even the simple spaghetti was special. Friend recommended the meatballs. Crème brûlée excellent. Menu varies. Wine list. read more

The service and the food are top notch. We ate there last night and had the rigatoni and fettuccine and they substituted fettuccine for the spaghetti with marinara. We also had the meatball appetizer, wine and espresso. It was an intimate, quiet setting. Very romantic. All of the staff went out of their way to make us feel happy and comfortable. read more

Who would of thunk it? Wow as good as a top chef's restaurant in Vegas. Little extras everywhere, excellent service. How that waitress remembered everything is beyond me. I had the veal chop, tender and cooked to perfection. I seem to be one of those customers that has to send something back. My friend and I enjoyed our entire meal together. In my book that's worth 10 stars. Thank you for being the first stop on my vacation. Rememberable, definitely will be back. Will recommend! read more

I have frequented Natalia's since she started her business in the 80s. Her former restaurant was located on Riverside Rd and was the best in town. Although pricy, it was also classy. The food was plentiful and always the best in town. The services used to be top notch. She has been at her new location for approximately 10 years. We have dined there many times but lately the pizzazz has dwindled excessively. The class is gone and the food, although well prepared, lacks the taste it once had. The portions are fewer and the specialty dishes have not been offered as before. They say all things change.... This once fabulous restaurant is now just a good one. read more

We are from NY and were in Georgia settling our daughter in for the start of Mercer university's medical program. Did a little research to find a nice Italian restaurant to have our cravings fixed. The restaurant itself is very cozy, the staff is well trained and attentive, food was fantastic. I personally had the scallop appetizer and risotto with shrimp. Every aspect of the dining experience far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be returning when we visit again. read more

Had a great experience here during a business dinner. The food was flawless and Angel, our server, was fantastic. I'll definitely stop here again when in town next. I recommend the scallops if their featured while there. Caprese salad divine! read more

Wonderful, intimate space. Good food, great experience! Nothing but positive things to say.

Let me just what an amazing dinner! One of the best I have ever had! This place is so beautiful, the atmosphere, the service, so magical! Our server, Angela, was not only knowledgeable of every item on the menu and the specials, but she is as passionate about the great food here as we now are! Our complements to the management and the chef. Everything was perfect. The Octopus, the Sole and the Elk, all amazing. The best place in Macon for dinner... by far! read more

The ambiance was rather nice and conveniently located next to the Homewood suites. I ordered the pasta special, which had a bolognese sauce to include asparagus, squash, and peas. The flavor was fine on the sauce. The pasta itself was well cooked. There were a few peas in it, but no asparagus or squash. The wine list wasn't overly impressive, but the two glasses of wine were the highlight of my meal. The best way to explain it is a more expensive Olive Garden that had a new line cook trying to prepare a dish he wasn't familiar with yet. Perhaps you're paying for the ambience or convenience to the hotel? Good luck. read more

Amazing food, excellent bar and top-notch service! Love this place!!! The seafood selection is usually very good, with unique options like Faeroe Island salmon, for example. The protein options are unique and exceptionally prepared. read more

Everything is good here!! Chilean Sea Bass, crusted scallops, chocolate mousse...yes order it!!! I have never eaten at Natalia's and not enjoyed it all. Service....impeccable. Ask for Matthew, he is awesome. read more

Natalia's is a majorly big find in Macon for me. I went to a family birthday dinner and was shocked at what a wonderful hidden find this was for someone who isn't a local. We had a pretty large group (9 people) and our server was great! I came late so I never got her name but I Ruby appreciate her pleasant service! We had the calamari and Piroshki which both were pretty good of course we leaned more to what we were familiar with which is calamari. Their calamari comes with fried peppers to careful. I had a Caesar salad which comes with anchovies. I've never had a Caesar salad come with anchovies ok too but I'm not complaining it was really good. They forgot my olives but I was sure to remind them because that's my favorite part besides the dressing. I also had the Casarecce al Pesto e Gamberi. Pasta dish with pesto cream sauce and shrimp. It was more than delicious and I can't complain about anything with the dish! Also had an old fashion and Moscow mule to go with dinner. And lastly I had the creme brûlée for dessert and it did not disappoint!! They even gave Nana a piece of cheese cake with a candle for her birthday! I have already told some friends that they should make stop in Macon and enjoy dinner here! 10/10 for me! read more

Food is a great. But the rules and dress code are archaic. There is no mention of dress code on the website. When you call you get a vague answer Buisness causal. Well Buisness causal is defined differently at plenty of places. Some allow jeans others don't. I get you don't want ripped clothes and tshirts completely understandable. But someone in a dress shirt and dress jeans is a completely different story it is not the 1950's. I have been to downtown grill, dovetail, Oliver's, circa and non are this weird about dress. I go to Atlanta to places like kevin rathburns, and the dress code was modern. Please modernize this place. The food is great. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! I love the atmosphere of this place. It is our favorite place to celebrate our anniversary.

My wife and I traveled to Macon on our way to Savannah with the expectation of having a memorable gourmet experience at Natalia's and MAN, we weren't disappointed in any way! We're from Minneapolis (home of Andrew Zimmer, and many acclaimed chefs and fine restaurants) and I have traveled the world over on business. Natalia's is as fine of a dining experience as I have had anywhere in the States, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Zurich, Hong Kong, Melbourne--or anywhere! The chef's special the night we visited was a wonderful preparation of sea bass and veggies cooked and served in parchment. Wines were thoughtful selections and very reasonably priced for such a fine establishment. Service was attentive and prompt, water glasses were filled the moment they were empty. We strongly recommend visiting Natalia's if you're around Macon GA, because you will receive wonderful treatment at very fair prices. And, yes, Natalia is on-premises--a lovely woman! Very Happy! read more

In early October, a client of mine took me to Natalia's after one particularly hectic day at his medical practice. As soon as I stepped into the reception area, I immediately felt the ambient change with Rodgers and Hammerstein-esque music playing softly in the background. Once seated the waiters were immediately attentive to us and provided an impressive recital of specials the day as well as answer questions I had about the menu items. From the appetizers to the dessert, I was truly delighted. I live 80 miles north of Natalia's but immediately knew I would return - with my husband - which we did on our way to Savannah for a birthday weekend. I had been fantasizing about selecting exactly the same items from the menu as before, a Caprese Salad (with whole milk mozzarella that forces you to close your eyes each time you take a bite....), the special Chilean Sea Bass and the oh so delightful Creme Brûlée. Everything was just as good the second time round! The ambiance, decor, service, food & cocktails were absolutely superb! I have no qualms about taking the 80 mile drive to Natalia's whenever I feel the urge for excellence! read more

Natalia's - Birthday Creme Brûlée - so naughty but oooh sooo nice! :-) - Italian Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Okay I have no clue where to start, but my experience at this "5star" restaurant was awful. For starters the menu selection is so limited, but regardless of that our waitress, some girl with glasses with dark hair did not even know the menu. I asked about a certain food selection and I asked if it was white or red and she told me white and then was looking over my shoulder to read off of the menu in my hand(it came back red). I would think she would know it if she worked at the restaurant. Some nice gentleman did come to our table and asked how the service was and I was hesitant to tell him it was awful, but it was. So I didn't. The drinks will take 20-30 min + to get so don't expect to be able to enjoy multiple drinks at this restaurant. Once the food came out it was not even warm, and tasted like it had been warmed up from Publix which is being nice. I think we saw our waitress a total of 3 times. And every time she was very cut expressing minimal words and lack of knowledge to what was going on. In my opinion just go to Olive Garden, my food was awful, so was the service and after multiple times of going and trying it out. I'm totally done. read more
