What an amazing dinner! The food was amazing and the service was even better! I highly recommend this restaurant and I will be back soon. Our waitress Kristin was the best!She was helpful in choosing our food selections and her recommendations were "right on"! Thanks Kristin for a fabulous meal! I will ask for her next time I am at St Bibiana! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Saint Bibiana! While one meal wasn't a personal favorite of ours, the rest of the food was absolutely amazing. The staff was so helpful and so kind (even removing the meal we did not enjoy from our tab). Daniel, our server, was the best! He was attentive, he answered all of our silly questions about the menu and how the experience worked. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Understated yet elegant and delicious! A bit of effort to find Saint Bibiana is required. Don't look for any signage just look for the address and the house number above the door. If you know, you know - shh! This is a hidden gem of a spot in Savannah, just off Forsyth Park in a historic building that blends well with the surroundings. Apparently, next door is a hotel discreetly tucked into the same building. Inside you will find a classy atmosphere with a beautiful bar, white tablecloths and elegantly decorated dining rooms and alcoves. The service is professional and refined. The menu features many tempting options whether house made pastas, seafoods or land based proteins catch you eyes. Excellent choices appear available in every segment of a multi course designed menu. A word to wise, be sure to hear the specials before commenting to any bit of the menu offerings. We started with a Burrata with Blackberries and a shaved Asparagus Salad. Both were well plated and delicious. My wife choose a specials item of Seared Scallops on a Squash Purée and I opted for one of the menu based pastas, the Paccheri with Shrimp. Once again beautifully presented and quite delicious. Both proteins were perfectly cooked and my pasta was exceptional. Richly flavored Calabrian Pepper, Parmesan and Roasted Breadcrumbs provided tasty bites. Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert. Perhaps next time. They offer more than dinner including a brunch, lunch and even breakfast. In addition, cooking classes are available and sound like another item for our next visit to Savannah. This is quite a place. read more

From the moment you arrive, this place feels like something out of a dream. Set within a beautifully preserved historic mansion, the restaurant effortlessly blends old-world elegance with a modern convince and design. The outdoor seating is perfect, dog-friendly, thoughtfully arranged, and offering serene views of the park that make you want to linger long after your meal is finished. The experience is elevated even further by a truly exceptional team. The sommelier and staff are not knowledgeable, they're deeply passionate, guiding you through the menu with precision and genuine enthusiasm. Every dish and bottle feels intentional, every recommendation spot-on. The wine list deserves special praise: it's both sophisticated and playful, filled with unique finds and staples from all over Italy. It's the kind of list that surprises you in the best way possible, it is so evident that they take great pride in their cellar. As for the food, it's simply outstanding. Every dish we had was seasonal, impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented, refined without feeling fussy. The flavors were vibrant, balanced, and fresh. We ended the evening with a flight of Negronis, which was nothing short of brilliant. Each variation was distinct, thoughtfully crafted, and a perfect finale to an already unforgettable meal. read more

Went here with my boyfriend on a weekend trip to Savannah and I'm still thinking about it. The decor is stunning but not in a try-hard way, just really beautiful and well done. Service was amazing. Our server was so friendly and knew the menu inside and out. We couldn't decide between the squid ink pasta and the cavatelli, went with the cavatelli, and then he surprised us with a portion of the squid ink to try anyway which was such a nice touch. The focaccia was unreal, like actually one of my favorite things we ate all weekend. The presentation across the board was gorgeous and everything just felt thoughtful. This is absolutely a must if you're in Savannah. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

We stopped in for drinks. The ambiance is very special. It is located in Hotel Bardo and the decor, the U shaped bar, the art and the furnishings all give an immediate "wow this is a cool place" vibe. I ordered the Bloody Mary, it was very good but extremely spicy!! Lots of pepper and some kind of Parmesan liquor, topped with a pepperocini, burnt leak, fresh dill and cooked celery. My mouth definitely came alive with this drink.. took a few glasses of water to calm it down. My husband enjoyed his Negroni. Stephanie our bartender had only been here a week and she was amazing! We will return. read more

Quick stop into St Bibiana's for some brunch because we had to stop here with all the rave reviews and I'm a sucker for pasta. We were able to walk in and grab a table Sunday afternoon for brunch. Ordered the fra lippi cocktails- definitely more sangria forward, and the torchetti pasta. Wish they had more pasta options on the brunch menu but that torchetti pasta was perfection either way. I hope to come back one day for dinner and try some more dishes! read more

I really really wanted to love St. Bibiana's, as I had heard so many raving reviews. I made reservations for a girls night and upon entry the ambiance and scenery were impeccable. It was just so cute, especially the seperated screened in dining area. My waitress was very helpful and attentive. They were able to accommodate me and make me a drink not on the menu. Unfortunately, we just didn't like the food. The bread service was cold and the risotto was mushy. It reminded me more of a porridge than risotto and it lacked flavor. I would return for drinks or to try the appetizers in the future. read more

The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated. We came for some drinks and appetizers and didn't have a reservation and they nicely let us sit at the nook under the stairs. The complementary bread was nice with an oil and vinaigrette sauce on the side. I got the mocktail which just tasted like a flatter sprite to me. The burrata was nice and plump and soft. The octopus salad was my favorite as the octopus was cooked well and soft, but I wish the serving size was larger. The crudo was my least favorite as it was not fresh with a fishy taste and had a weird taste. I've eaten plenty of sea urchins before to know the sea urchin I ate was also not fresh and was not sweet. The appetizers were pretty expensive for the amount. read more

Very nice restaurant but a bit pricey. Old fashion was great and hears the martini is good too. Dinner food was very good but brunch was pretty basic with small portions. Reservations are through Resy and the open spots will disappear the day of (even though there was plenty of open tables the hostesses also said they were full). Luckily we got in but reserve ahead to avoid issues, even if app or venue looks free! Bartenders were super nice, loved sitting in their section!! read more

Came to Saint Bibiana for a friend's birthday dinner and had a great experience. We were seated earlier than our reservation at a super comfy table with couch seating. They brought out complimentary caramelized onion and rosemary bread that was so good we ordered another round. The birthday girl also received a complimentary drink and dessert, which was a really nice touch. We ordered the Bucatini Neri, Bibiana Pomodoro, Cavatelli Sardi (looked amazing but couldn't try cause I'm vegetarian), and crispy potatoes -- everything we tried was flavorful and well done. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Overall, a lovely spot for a fancy night out or special occasion. read more

Early evening dinner. I would recommend taking time to grab a cocktail in the attached hotel ..it looked amazing. Actually, I will book that hotel next time. The restaurant was comfortable and well- appointed. 3 girls and we shared a nice bottle of wine. Wine list was slightly above average, nothing intimidating and we spoke with the sommelier. Oysters - good. Burrata was also good. Salad was served deconstructed and not so great, maybe skip that. We shared the risotto and pomodoro. Honestly the dishes were a bit underwhelming. The bread service was a bit weird; there is a bread "mime" who walks around with a bread tray strapped around their neck. Just gimme a nice plate of fresh, warm bread! Our waiter was aloof, not engaging. Probably a good date night location but for a girls trio for foodies, it's a little flat. read more

If you're headed to Savannah, this is a wonderful fancy restaurant to add to your list. We were able to have a long, drawn-out (perhaps 3 hours) meal here amongst friebds and spend quality time together. They never rushed us along or out, and it was surprisingly easy to make a res. within a week of going! We ordered a bunch across the menu and shared everything. I think this restaurant is great for that. I must say, the Antipasti's/Verduras stole the show for me-- reach was better than the next, and all were highlights of the meal. We didn't get anything we didn't like. Note: during your meal, a bread server comes around with (unlimited) Rosemary and/or Onion focaccia. This is great to note in case you want to pass on a Bruschetta or bread-based starter! Also my friend ordered the BEST and perhaps most-unique cocktail I've (possibly) ever had-- the Theodora. Lastly, don't miss the Grilled Mediterranean Octopus (Antipasti)! The consensus was that this was our fav item read more

Saint Bibiana was outstanding--we enjoyed it twice, once for New Year's Eve dinner and again for breakfast on New Year's Day, and both experiences were excellent. For NYE dinner, we dined in the club area, which we were able to access since we were staying at the affiliated Hotel Bardo next door. The experience felt special and elevated. The food quality was fantastic on both occasions, the service was attentive and professional, and the ambiance was charming, romantic, and perfectly suited for a celebratory meal. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. It is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, service, and overall experience made it well worth it. Highly recommend for a special occasion or memorable dining experience. read more

We celebrated my 50th birthday here, and the team truly went above and beyond to make the evening special. I have a long list of allergies, and they thoughtfully modified dishes to accommodate me without compromising on flavor or presentation. We enjoyed the crab salad, polenta, potatoes, grilled fish, chicken, a gluten-free pasta dish, and several desserts -- every single bite was absolutely delicious. The wine selection was incredible, and the service was some of the best we've ever experienced. I can't recommend this place highly enough. A true class act from start to finish! read more

The ambiance at this place makes you feel like you're inside of what Miami SHOULD feel like. The decorations make the Restoration Hardware restaurants look obsolete. This gem inside of Savannah, in my opinion had better Italian food than many of the places I've enjoyed in NYC. The attention to detail in the menu is perfectly translated and even outdone in their presentation, even with my martini. Thankfully it doesn't stop at presentation because every single thing I tried was amazing. If I had no other reason to revisit Savannah, I would still go back, only to dine here. This was the best meal I personally had in my entire trip. read more

Ugh. I was so pumped for brunch here. The ambiance is 10/10. The service was 8/10. He was covering too many tables but he was a sweet kid and trying so hard. The downfall was the food. Ordered the seasonal fruit with prosciutto to start and it came with a handful of grapes and two figs cut in half?!? It's May! You can't find a berry anywhere? NM of course they could, someone next to us ordered a seasonal (side) of fruit and it was chock full of strawberries and blackberries. My husband ordered buckwheat pancakes for 21 dollars and they served him 5 mini, mini pancakes that looked so sad on the plate. Are they joking? I ordered the classic Benedict. All the components were there and tasty but the eggs whites were not cooked! They were so raw I had to send it back. Of course the replacement was hard boiled, and they put very little hollandaise on the second one so between that and the hard boiled egg it was so dry. Such a disappointment. Beautiful space but maybe just come and have a cocktail. 100 dollars poorer and sad. read more

The five stars is selfish, and is 100% because their Lemon Olive Oil Cake combines my two favorite things when it comes to a dessert: 1. Anything lemon 2. A well made olive oil cake We got into Savannah later in the day and staying at the hotel had figured we'd eat here. After a few weeks of heavier meals we thought we might be able to eat something simple and a bit lighter. We got the market salad, grilled branzino, roasted truffle potatoes. If the meal had stopped there, I probably would have given this place 4 stars. It was really good, solid food but likely not memorable. It did exactly what we wanted and if we stayed here again I would 100% go back. But now, I would go out of my way to return for the dessert. The service was also impressive - it's a young staff but they're friendly and knowledgable. We arrived early and sat at the bar for a bit, and my fiancé said the manhattan he ordered was good. During the meal I noticed that they were attentive to small details, even going so far as to flipping my knife the opposite way after they refreshed our plates. The interior is also quite cool. It feels like what I imagine an old southern house's parlor or library to be. It's dimly lit and the rooms feel less like a typical restaurant, lined with tables, but more of a place to entertain. While I can't vouch for their pastas, I would guess they're likely as well done as the rest of what we ate. Definitely worth coming to if you're looking for a solid Italian meal. read more

I will start off by saying that on the night of our dinner, there was basically a monsoon outside. So...I have a feeling they had staffing issues. So, keep that in mind, but in any case, our dinner really could have been improved and we were disappointed as we were really looking forward to dining here based on all the rave reviews. Firstly, it is an exceptionally beautiful place - they've renovated a huge historic mansion into Hotel Bardo, and they did an amazing job. It's laid out very well and has a romantic cozy vibe. Just lovely. As for everything else, at least for us on this night, it was hit or miss. The oddness began when the person who seated us told us our server would be right with us, but when he returned to check on us rather than said "server," I asked if he'd be taking care of us. He replied with a hesitant "yes," and it made us wonder if he went from food runner/host to server for the first time in that moment. My brother ordered a gimlet which was perfect, but my martini was really odd. It was sweeter than I like, and also comes with a side dish of accoutrement - salt in the bottom of the dish with a lemon peel, pickled pepper, olive and dill. Like...what am I supposed to do with that? Just choose one of those and put it in the drink. It was weird. Next, we ordered the $22 mushroom toast, which is a nice portion and tasted delicious, however, we ended up with a small pile of thyme twigs on our plate after having to pick them out. My brother learned the hard way as he bit into the toast only to be chomping down on little sticks. Not great. We were nice about it, but did point it out to our server because it just seemed like whomever took over cooking that night didn't know to take those out - thyme sticks are super woody and inedible. Again, this made us feel like something was amiss in staffing. During this course, they also sent over their burrata appetizer, which we didn't order and the food runner had to go back and check to make sure it was a "gift" from the kitchen. Ok...we'll definitely take the gift, thank you, but it was a bit of an odd dish. It's a large portion of burrata with herb oil and cucumbers, but no toast points or anything. They do come around and give diners their fresh baked bread, but we had already eaten that as we didn't know we should "save" it to go with the burrata we didn't know was coming. A bit of an awkward service all together. We then ordered one of the pasta dishes as this is an Italian restaurant, and while it sounded really good - pipe rigate verde with broccoli rabe pesto - the pasta was woefully undercooked and the sauce was super salty. Like, stick in your teeth undercooked. We honestly should have sent it back, but we don't do that, so we just didn't finish this small portion of pasta. Sad. Lastly, we had the branzino which was $50, came by itself on the plate, and was overcooked. Not too badly, but overcooked nonetheless. My brother enjoyed his fairly well, but I was disappointed. I wish I lived in the city so I could maybe give them another shot, but alas, we were only there for the weekend, and I'm not sure I'd want to return for full dinner service again. Maybe drinks and snacks or dessert because it's so beautiful here. I do hope it was just an off night. read more

Now it's rude personally, overpriced drinks, filthy floor and absolutely no atmosphere at all! It's a wasteland! How sad! Never ever going back!

While I only went to Saint Bibiana for wine (nice wine list) & oysters, I enjoyed the spot! The ambiance was fancy yet cozy, and service was both quick & very friendly. I would definitely go back to try the food at another time! All of the pastas looked delicious (especially the spicy red sauce gnocchi), and I heard rave reviews about the arancini. The oysters weren't my favorite as they came with a fruit sauce poured over them which ended up masking the flavor of the oysters themselves. That was the only miss though - I'd give it another chance to try the pastas! Food: B- Drinks: B Ambiance: B+ Service: B+ read more

Literally nothing was bad. We did wine instead of cocktail serves and was super pleased by the bottle recommendation. They have a great selection. This is 100% going to be a go to spot whenever in town. i highly recommend this restaurant. read more

If Savannah had a Vatican of flavor, Saint Bibiana would be the high priestess of pasta. From the first sip of a negroni that could make a grown man weep, to the final forkful of handmade agnolotti that whispered sweet nothings to my soul, this place delivered a religious experience in every course. The ambiance? Think candlelit confessional meets Fellini film--intimate without trying too hard, stylish without screaming about it. Service? Angelic. Our server had the timing of a Broadway pro and the menu knowledge of a sommelier turned philosopher. And the food... Lord, the food. If you told me the ricotta gnocchi was rolled by cherubs and blessed with a basil oil baptism, I'd believe you. Saint Bibiana doesn't just feed you--it converts you. Five stars, and I'm already repenting for not booking my next reservation. read more

We had a lovely dinner at the bar at Saint Bibiana. The service was attentive. The environment was casual and classy. People watching was fun. I prefer eating plant-based, which I've found hard to do at most restaurants in Savannah. Saint Bibiana had a vegetarian option that was very tasty and had good portion size. It did have some cheese in it, but I chose to enjoy it anyway. read more

*This review is not a reflection of their food as we were not able to actually dine here and is purely based on the service and complete lack of hospitality. We attempted to dine here twice, once for dinner as a group of 10 and once for brunch as a group of 7. For dinner we attempted to call to check availability. The restaurant does not have a direct line and when you call you are transferred to the front desk of the hotel. When we told them we were interested in checking the availability we were put on hold and eventually got a hold of the restaurant in which we inquired about availability. They told us they would give us a call back and after about an hour of waiting, we were finally told it was not a possibility, completely understandable as it was a last-minute attempt. The next morning, prior to us leaving on our flight, we decided we would pop in to see if we could get brunch. The hostess checked, grabbed 7 menus and was preparing to seat us, then whom I'm assuming is a manager came rushing upfront, whispered something in her ear in which she promptly turned to us and said that it was fully booked (despite the place being a ghost town) and we were told to eat somewhere else. It was very clear that we were being turned away because we were more causally dressed (athleisure and casual two piece sets)...though I couldn't find anywhere online or posted inside about a dress code. On their website site they market themselves as convivial, leisurely, and unmistakably hospitable. But for us they were unfriendly, uppity, and unmistakably rude. read more

Overall, amazing food & dining experience. We legit cleared all the dishes we ordered. We started w the Burrata which was interesting with the pickled cucumber, and the Bitter green & fennel salad which was so fresh, tangy and fragrant. The focaccia was great too! We thought we were back in nyc Then we had cavatelli sardi & campanella. Cavatelli was cooked al dente, and the flavor was good with the right amount of spice. It balanced well with Campanella, which was lightly citrusy & creamy, reminding me of the avgolemono soup. It had small chunks of shredded chicken which was hearty and delicious. The campanella was cooked a bit soft but I loved it for its comfort. Our meal finished strong with the lemon olive cake which was divine! The service and the ambiance was great too. :) read more

Stood at the front door for 5 minutes before the host came over to us. If you are going to make people wait, don't put the hostess stand in a place where we will get hit by the door everytime it opens. Asked if we would like to sit at a table near the bar that would have been hard to eat at, and then was told they don't have a table for 2, do we want to wait, and we said we had a reservation. She went to talk to her manager and then walked us into an empty room with 4 tables of 2 empty. We then sat for close to 15 minutes before a waiter came over to us, we had to ask for one. we did go on Thanksgiving but it wasn't that crowded and it seemed inexcusable. I will say the food is delicious so I understand why people come but if you do eat here be sure to pack your patience. read more
