One of the fancier places in town, but definitely not overpriced. My wife and I come here on occasion as we dont live too far from here. We've recently been coming here and just getting appetizers just because of the fact that the entrees are huge and we just end up taking them home... and let's be honest, leftover food isn't always that good! The atmosphere may seem upscale and fancy, but let that deter you from coming in. We normally make reservations, but this place is huge amd there's always plenty of seating. Service is always spot-on and the portions are always enough to share. My wife and I normally get a caesar salad to share(which is plenty), the calamari, and definitely the bread pudding! We'll normally get another protein, but even that becomes a lot of food. 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

All I can say is we will be back. Our friends invited us to join them for a Birthday dinner. The food was worth every penny to include the dessert was special a carrot cake to die for. Julie was also on point for customer service. She made the night special. The ambiance was a great setting for a romantic evening. read more

Wonderful dinner as always! Wait staff attentive even though it was NYE and very busy. Desserts and coffee are always our fav read more

Natalia's - Desserts - Italian Near Me - Macon, Georgia

We are new to the area and Natalia's was recommended as a great date restaurant. It did not disappoint in any way. I love dining experiences! From beginning to end, everything was exceptional. I booked the reservation online. The process was seamless and I received text alerts, so I didn't have to worry about my reservation being honored on arrival. There was no wait time being seated or for service to arrive to our table. The staff were amazing! I wish I could recall names, but it truly was everyone I could thank. The food was phenomenal and unique. We had their newest salad, and were very surprised with how many flavors and textures it had. The sea bass and lobster were fresh and delicious. The chocolate mousse desert will definitely keep me coming back. We enjoyed the quiet mature atmosphere. I especially appreciated the special birthday acknowledgement for my date. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are prepared to pay more for a great dining experience. read more

We've gone to Natalia's 4 times now. The first 3 were very good dining experiences. The 4th not so much. My warning is to check the price of their specials. We both got the swordfish special which i figure was way over-priced at $93 for 2 servings. Not only was that special too pricey but it was even a bit over-cooked, too. The waitress was excellent -- very friendly and accomodating. She did not return to pick up our credit card to pay for the meal. I was left wondering if she were too ashamed over that price of the dinner to return. I had to track someone else to take our payment. We've been giving friends rave reviews of Natalia's. Not any more though, of course. read more

Food quality is always excellent. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is warm a intimate.

Natalia's - Coconut & strawberry sorbet - Italian Near Me - Macon, Georgia

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

This is truly an all around five star experience. Natalia's is in my opinion the best fine dining restaurant in ALL of central Georgia. The wait staff is pleasant and very knowledgeable of their offerings and the wine pairings that go along with it. The food here has always been excellent to say the least. My family and I have made this restaurant our "go to" and come here at least once a month now. I recommend reservations as this place is squally booked solid. read more

Always yummy. The specials are usually where it's at too! Definitely reccomend for a nice night out!

I hosted a group of 12 customers and this place was fantastic. The food was prompt and the staff made sure we were taken care of. Everything was perfect. read more

A really great foodie experience, they make every effort to provide an elegant and superior dining experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really great food. Best tomato and burrata salad I've ever had. Delicious bread and meatballs. Wish they delivered to Atlanta! 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

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

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!

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

We have dined in the bar area twice and will continue to return. Great service and great experience!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
