Garibaldi Savannah

We showed up early for our 6:45 reservation and were seated upstairs with a beautiful street view—such a romantic touch. Jordan was amazing and made us feel so taken care of. My husband loved his ribeye special, and my filet with crab was incredible. The chef even made béarnaise just for me! Warm bread, perfect steaks, and a wonderful night. Highly recommend!

It was our second anniversary celebration in Garibaldi and we were as satisfied as the 1st time. It is the best choice to celebrate special occasion or just have original meal with your love ones. Location, atmosphere, service and food come perfectly together to create an unforgettable experience. Very much recommended!

We went to Garibaldis to celebrate a birthday last evening. The bread that brought out was excellent. One of us had the redfish special and the other was the red snapper special. Both were fantastic. I would highly recommend coming here for an excellent fish dish and celebration.

Such a great experience! Love this place. Good quality food and nice service. Had a steak Diane, the grilled salmon, a salad and the cheese cake. All tasted well, only the salad was not fresh any more. The place was recommended by friends from Wilmington (Eric) and we are very thankful for having the chance to be there. Really a good restaurant!

We returned to garibaldi's recently to celebrate our anniversary, after eating here on a date over 36 yrs ago. The restaurant was still top notch with a charming southern decor. The food was excellent - poached pear salad and filet & lobster were flavorful and gourmet quality. Service was exceptional! After a friendly greeting and anniversay wishes, we were promptly seated and served champagne to kick off dinner. Still impressed after all of these years!

I highly highly highly recommend this establishment!! In a nutshell, this restaurant is absolutely fantastic!! There was no part of our experience that was worth less than 5 stars! We arrived about 8 minutes prior to our reservation and were immediately seated at the perfect table next to a window. Within moments we were greeted by the waiter who promptly retrieved our ordered cocktails and breads which were made perfectly. The food arrived in a respectable time frame and was absolutely delicious!! It had perfect flavors and was prepared exactly as it should've been. The service provided by our waiter was by far the best we experienced in Savannah (I wish i could remember his name for this review) and possibly in the United States. The atmosphere as well as the restaurant overall was beautiful and perfectly decorated in such a way that made you feel at home but in a luxury restaurant at the same time.

The atmosphere in here alone brings it to 5 stars. Simply gorgeous and makes you feel like you've taken a step back into grander times. We had the calamari to start and it was pretty standard faire, but it was a nice touch that real calamari was sprinkled throughout the dish. The sauce is really what stepped it up a notch. The she-crab soup was a 10/10 Followed by the steak and lobster pasta. The lobster and sauce for the noodles were amazing! Only regret is that we were too full for dessert 🍨 Maybe next time

Very nice restaurant and exceptional staff. the calamari 6/10 alittle chewy but a good portion and the sauce 8/10. The bread is solid 8/10, we split the crispy duck entree 8/10 so the picture is only half so the portion size is great

Beautiful, chic, elegant. Yummy menus, lovely holiday decor. Bartenders are great! Hidden gem in City Market.

Going to bed hungry. Disappointed is an understatement. I bring my family here for Christmas every year and it's always amazing food and service. Was expecting that same experience tonight but that was not the case. We orders drinks, no problem. Apps and salad were a little slower than usual but all good no worries. Then they forgot my soup, not a big deal, I'll be quiet it's busy, I'll just wait for my ribeye. One hour later, no steak. 20 more minutes nothing. My mom is falling asleep at the table at this point, almost 10pm now. I ask the manager to just close my tab, no steaks in sight. The manager comp'd our food but we still had a $100 tab and like i said I was still pretty hungry. Dunno what's going on there but not happy about it.

Upon walking in, we were greeted enthusiastically. It was refreshing. Our server was promptly at our table to get our dinner experience underway! Executive Chef Gerald Green made the visit even more special by personally preparing my dessert and bringing it upstairs. The Almond Berry Basket with Cinnamon Ice Cream was delicious and beautiful! For my main course, I experienced the Chrispy Diamond Scored Flounder! This was a fantastic choice that I recommend! The upstairs was beautifully decorated and perfect for date night!

This meal was the highlight of our New Year's Eve! Our waitress Clara was so sweet and helpful with us, selecting the perfect food. We had the stone, crab claws, fried oysters, raw oysters, the halibut special, and the lobster special. All along with a bottle of champagne and a complementary crème brûlée to congratulate us on our recent engagement. Such a memorable meal I would recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Savannah.

We had a reservation at a different restaurant but ended up being there almost an hour before we were even brought any water or drinks. We left and ended up at Garibaldi's! They were able to seat our party of 8 with short notice. Our server, Drew, was awesome! He was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The food and drinks were great as well. I had the seared sea scallops, which were perfectly cooked and served with a risotto. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food and experience.

Mediocre food that was so overpriced. Lousy rolls. Small portions. Never going back. Ambiance is the only thing it has

Food was great yo! The crab soup if the best thing on the menu idc. Get that or the gumbo you won't be upset. Service was good the waiter knew her stuff. The ambiance screams the great gatsby so come dressed.

It's always an enjoyable evening at Garibaldis. Great food, classic cocktails, lovely upscale restaurant. My favorite starter is their Olive Bowl with Mediterranean olives and a Tunisian olive mix. Yummy. For the dinner entree I opted for the 5 Layer Lasagna of mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, veal, beef and Italian sausage and their marinara - decadent! I really stepped out of my box by ordering the Lasagna as my standard order at Garibaldis is their Crispy Scored flounder. Thankfully, my son shared a bit of his, and as always, it was delicious! In a side note, if you're wanting to entertain a large group/party/dinner Garibaldis has a gorgeous mirrored room upstairs for your fabulous event. Can't wait to return!

Fantastic food and excellent service (Avery). Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend! Loved the romantic setting, warm and glowing with class!

Garibaldis is chic, gorgeous inside, has genuinely good service and the food is phenomenal! I am so happy my friend took me here this stay! She said it was her favorite spot and it's now mine too! You have to sit upstairs, the bottom doesn't do the place justice even though it's really nice. Very swanky! ;-) We ordered the chicken piccata to share with the mushroom risotto, and had two salads! Our tab was so affordable! I could y believe it. The Mushroom risotto is a MUST- it's pure butter in your mouth and sooo rich and good! A few bites is all you need. The salads were massive! I had the artichoke salad which was huge and they split our entree for us without us having to ask. This place is very underrated! 5 stars all around and such a great date night!

Service: Our guy Bobby was great. He was knowledgeable, helpful and all around awesome. Ambiance: love it - they took an old firehouse and made it seem more Italian - Food: French onion soup was very good, bread is super yum. My chicken piccata was good but the veggies were under cooked as was my husbands veggies. Our drinks were decent and overall would give it a 4.5 and def will be going back!

The building is gorgeous as you walk up - we walked from our hotel so didn't have to worry about parking in a somewhat crowded area. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. There was an issue with finding the bottle of wine we ordered so we waited longer than expected but the waitress handled it well. We were seated upstairs which was very pretty with all the Christmas decor up, we commented how it was nice it wasn't very loud or crowded. On the whole, the food was all just very okay. We got French onion soup and a poached pear salad to start - the soup needed salt (once we salted the flavors did pop a bit) and the salad was good but basic and could have easily been elevated. We got the clam linguine and the chicken piccata. The chicken piccata was nicely done - not a chicken cutlet as expected but a thicker piece that was very nicely prepared. The amount of green beans with it was sufficient but presentation wise on the plate looked small. The clam linguine sort of fell apart for us. Where the menu said diced tomatoes, we go halved cherry tomatoes that were raw. The clams are presented in shell on top of the linguine so to fully enjoy the dish, you have to take them all out first. The sauce was good but not thick enough so it didn't stick to the noodles. The rolls were nice and fluffy that they bring for the table. On the whole, we had a nice night but likely wouldn't prioritize returning here.

The building itself is worth a visit. It's lovely without being stuffy. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I think it's the mgr. who is from up north. He's a hoot! We had great service as usual. The crispy scored flounder is so tasty and easy to eat.

This was our first visit, and it has a nice, upscale, yet comfortable ambience. We were seated at a cozy, upholstered bench seat table for two. The seat cushion definitely needed to be replaced as it was worn out and not too comfortable. For starters, I had a cup of jambalaya (really spicy, but good), she had the poached pear salad and loved it. For entrées, she went with the Carbonara and I had the Chicken Parmesan. Her Carbonara was tasty, but we both thought it would be better with either spaghetti or fettuccine noodles versus the shell noodles. My Chicken Parmesan was very average tasting. Menu is a little on the pricier side. Arnold did an excellent job serving us!

My favorite restaurant in Savannah! My husband and I come here for all celebration dinners. We even contacted them for our wedding reception space, but unfortunately their private event space was too small for our party. We always have outstanding food with even better service here. Usually we have an all out meal with wine, cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts. We're always in and out in around an hour and a half, so we're never waiting long for our food or drinks to come out. Our most recent visit, we had Bobby as our server. He is hands down the best server we have had! He was so pleasant, knew the menu and specials inside and out, and accommodated our dietary needs. He also had a really cute tie on lol. Next time we dine in, we will request Bobby. I do recommend making a reservation in advance. You can book on Open Table or call ahead.

We came here on a Friday night and set reservations for 7:30. Parking was an absolute nightmare! Not sure if there was another event going on, but be mindful of the parking situation when daytime drinking ends and nighttime shenanigan begin. Believe the hype, this place really is that good. I feel like a lot of returns to in Savannah are overrated and overpriced. The food may taste good, but they aren't amazing. This place was absolutely delicious. The wagyu specialty appetizer was so good- I wish they added a bit more meat to it since we shared it, but not going lie, the flavors were on point. The 5 layered lasagna was everything I wanted. So much flavor, so many layers, so filling! The seafood fettuccine Alfredo was delish. A bit creamy- so my lactose free friends beware! But it's totally worth it. Ambiance was romantic. Low lights and beautiful decor. I love the small booths for couples, and there are regulars that come here that make it feel like a family environment. Can't wait to go back! What a gem

Garibaldi's Café in Savannah is a truly elegant dining experience. The atmosphere is romantic and refined, with dim lighting and timeless décor that makes you feel like you're in a classic supper club. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and perfectly chilled, served with a zesty cocktail sauce that packed just the right punch. The star of the night, though, was the Steak Diane--tender, flavorful, and finished with a rich, decadent sauce that melted in every bite. An unforgettable meal in a beautiful setting--Garibaldi's is a must for a special night out.

The Sister restaurant of the old pink house did not disappoint. Loved the tall ceilings upstairs and the Gatsby era decor. As for the food a good mix of cafe fair that played all the right notes. The lamb ribs had a nice Asian flair to them. Mean while the shrimp risotto cake was a nice touch on southern cuisine. A solid me that did not disappoint.

The Ambiance was great as was the service. I had the scored flounder and it was delicious

We were in town for a work event and had an amazing dinner here. It had been 30 years since I had been to Garibaldi's in Columbia. I have been to the restaurant in Charleston called Anson. The food is amazing. I must say, though that our server Olivia went above and beyond, she was super personable very caring explained the menu and just brought a smile to our face. Thank you!

We had an absolutely fabulous dinner at Garibaldi over the holiday. I was unaware the restaurant had a second floor. The first floor is quite grand, with beautiful banquette tables, tin tile ceilings, dim lighting, and an elegant bar. The upstairs, however, with high ceilings, gorgeous finishings, brighter chandeliers, and beautiful potted palms, takes it to another level. We started with fried green tomatoes, which were utterly perfect, and a poached pear salad that was to die for! The crispy-scored flounder was even better than the famous version at the Olde Pink House, IMO, and the veal Milanese was outstanding. The manager paid us a visit and ensured everything was to our liking and our servers went above and beyond. The value to the quality of the experience was excellent. I would highly recommend Garibaldi. We can't wait to return.

The food was great and fantastic atmosphere. We went to celebrate college graduation and it was perfect.

We dined at Garibaldi's last night (Nov. 18th). There were a total of 6, (3 couples). We do a monthly dinner in Savannah. My wife and I have dined at Garibaldi's in the past and entertained out of town guest on several occasions. We love the atmosphere and, in the past, have had good experiences. Last night was very disappointing. Service was not good. Our waitress was training a new waitress, they seemed to be nice but it took forever to get our drinks and then we waited for over +60 minutes for our entrees. On several occasions we asked her for an update and she replied "It's coming out now" only to wait another 10-15 minutes. The manager came over and said he was going to adjust our check, but he did not. I waved him off because i did not want to make a scene with our group. At minimum he should have comped our drinks or deserts. The food was average at best and expensive for "average". One of our dinner guest said her pasta was "Bland". My meal (the halibut special) was not hot. Not planning to come back soon and hope this review allows you to improve.

Peace, love, Josh. Would come back solely for his service. 10/10, will be recommending the lobster pasta and Josh.

This restaurant is within walking distance from the Planter's Inn. We walked there at night using map app. If I could nominate a server for an award, Susan would win it hands down. In our conversations with her, Susan suggested that her skills have evolved over the last couple months. Well, she learned her lessons well, A+. We were seated upstairs and if this is the overflow seating, I'll take it everyday. Beautiful space with high ceilings, nicely spaced seating and elegant charm. Oh yes, and then there is the food. The seafood alfredo was packed with delicious seafood, although the mussels were tough. Cold dishes, like shrimp and lobster cocktail made a happy meal for my sister. My gal loved her seared salmon. We were only in Savannah for 2 nights. If longer, I would have gone back for another delicious experience.

Making a reservation on 3/15/2025 was very easy and communication about our table being ready was great! My husband had the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it was superb. I had the French onion soup, it was rather bland. Just lacked the savory flavor I expected (I love French onion soup and order it anytime it's on the menu) For our entrees my husband had the salmon and enjoyed it very much. I originally ordered the 5 layer lasagne but our server returned to say they were out so I ordered the chicken Parmesan. This dish also lacked flavor, just bland. The quality seemed fine, just no flavor. I did not finish it. We shared the berry basket desert and it too lacked flavor. Just not savory at all. Our server, Kendall, was a dream! So friendly and sweet, she did everything to try and make our night special.

Nice ambiance; the wedge salad was very good; chicken parmigiana was delicious; great service. Good bar area but small.

The space upstairs is beautiful. High ceilings large planters, very open. The noise level is loud but fortunately we were sitting by a window at the end of the room so we could still hear each other, Service was good and attentive. The food took a very long time to arrive even though we were there early and not too many tables were taken. I found the food to be okay. I had the clams & linguine which was tasty and the pasta was done well but rather than a tomato sauce, it was grape tomatoes cut in half. Not for me. Would not order that again and not sure I would go back at all. My partner had the lasagna which was warm, not hot.

Great restaurant. Go here every time we are in Savannah. Recommend to everyone who tells me they are headed to Savannah.

With family in town it was another great night at Garibaldi's... some of the dishes had: my father loved the seafood gumbo & wife always gets the French onion soup & scallops, we shared the mussels and calamari apps, son loves the flounder and I had a medium rare steak Diane that was cooked to perfection. Our waitress was on spot perfect. Thank you for elevating time with family. Truly fantastic!

Bobby was OUTSTANDING. The special he recommended were delicious and the service was amazing. Everyone should recommend him when they come in!

From the service to the ambiance and food, everything was amazing. Celebrating a friends birthday and I must say our waiter Trey made the experience worthwhile.

Made reservation's for our 34th anniversary and was not disappointed. Beautiful and elegant atmosphere with that so the age of the building without commercializing. Service is unmatched in the area ... attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious and prepared as requested. We felt as though we were the only diners at the restaurant. Will revisit on our next venture to Savannah.

Sat at the bar ordered bottle of wine and scallops over an hour later get sautéed scallops which consisted of 3 scallops 2 asparagus spears and a spoonful of risotto for $48. Scallops were under too chewy sent them back 15 mins later still under but I bite into them and it's crunchy! Shell in my bite! They take it away manager comes over I show him the shell pieces he takes them and walks away. Then they say sorry about the scallops but here's your bill for $60 bottle of wine. Yes I did drink the wine but after 2 hours of waiting for 3 scallops that are bad both times please! Where's the customer service?? This is a tourist trap they don't care cuz the next person will come in and pay for their overpriced food so what do they care! Dont waste your time!

Our dinner at Garibaldi's was delicious. The staff were so pleasant and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the visit.

Garibaldi's Cafe is good, but it's not one of my top spots in Savannah. Here's why... The hostess stand isn't overly friendly, which didn't give us a strong first impression. Also, our hostess had her fingernails in her mouth, absentmindedly clicking her teeth with her nails, right before she grabbed our menus. Ewww. And COVID. Our waiter asked if we were celebrating and we were. I reached a milestone in my cancer treatment. I'm not sure why the question was asked as nothing was said or done to help us commemorate. The food was very good. I ordered Chicken Milanese (aka pork chop over angel hair pasta and haricots verts), but I left disappointed with the service and the hostess stand's mindfulness around sanitation.

Garibaldi was an amazing experience. Being in Savannah for work I eat alone a lot. I had a seat at the bar and the staff was great. I had the Steak Diane and it was exceptional.

This is the most elegant restaurant with absolutely delicious food. Get the basket for dessert. It's made from crushed almonds filled with ice cream and other yummy stuff. BEAUTIFUL wonderful amazing service and food!

Where to start Great cocktails Warm, crusty and airy rolls Perfectly, not over-cooked calamari Twin lobster tails and pasta was first rate NY strip with reduction perfect at a seafood place Perfect pecan pie to finish All with the professional and attentive service you would expect.

Had such a great experience eating jere on our first night on our 3 day trip we cancelled our reservation at another restaurant for our last night and came back here. Staff were all very personable and good food to boot. (Last night was Saturday night of New Years eve weekend... so they were hop'n). Shout out to Hans and our servers Trey and Olivia! Thank you!

Few places blow me away- this is one of them. Start to finish; everything was amazing. The star of the night was the lobster pasta and dry martini. We preferred the shrimp risotto cake over the Denver ribs. Steak Diane melts in your mouth, swordfish was on special and came highly recommend; it was nice, I would recommend as a lighter option.. Business casual. Reservations encouraged. Ambiance- 5 Service-5 Drinks-5 Food- 5 #thankyouthursday

The food is excellent; the service topnotch; the vibe is a ten, but bring your own flatware. The utensils are of breakfast diner quality!

Food was just okay the last time I was there. I usually love this place, but the food was under seasoned and under whelming. However, the review is saved by the HUGE seafood tower. GREAT DEAL for $170! Lobsters, clams, oysters, giant shrimp. We had 4 people eating and we wanted to puke from the overindulgence of seafood. In any other major city, like Atlanta or NYC, this tower could easily go for $250 or more. I would return just to have the seafood tower.

Five stars for this place! Although a bit pricey, it is totally worth it for the elegant ambiance and delicious food. Their service is very polite and they make a wonderful slightly dirty martini.

Service was exceptional. I was seated upstairs next to the window that provided a great view onto Congress street and great lighting. The upstairs dining area is very nice that had very tall ceilings and provided a very luxurious feeling. I felt like I was in a ball room. The food is on the pricier side of things but I felt that it was a great date night spot and there was a lot of care that went into the food especially since my date had a soy allergy. Overall, food was good, service was great, and the setting of the restaurant is a nice place to bring someone for a meal

Great atmosphere upstairs, and really good service. We had: - Manhattan (average) - Old Fashioned (average) - The Abbey (average) - French onion soup (great--the best one we've ever had) - Hearts of palm salad (average--needed black pepper, more mushrooms, and maybe parmesan) - Steak Diane (great--cooked perfectly medium rare) - Seared salmon (great--just slightly overcooked) - Praline berry basket (great)

Outstanding. Every part of our meal was amazing. FOOD: we had the gumbo, calamari, the flounder, and the shrimp gang. All were exceptional, especially the calamari. Everything was hot and fresh and so flavorful. Good restaurant gumbo is hard to find, but Garibaldi is one of a few places that get it right. SERVICE: again, outstanding. Bobby was our server and we were so taken care of during our visit.

A great and memorable experience from the food to the service! My fiancé and I were able to make a last minute reservation on Valentine's Day of all days. We arrived 2 minutes before our reservation. Street parking will make you late, so just park in the parking garage on Whitaker and walk from there (it's a 2-3 minute walk) it will save you time and headache. FOOD: Everything was prepared as requested and came out fast. We ordered...... fried calamari (requested all rings, not tentacles) - they were full of flavor and taste so good. 1/2lbs lobster claws (they're served ice cold but tastes great) - I don't like cold seafood but the butter I dipped it in warmed it up so it was just right. It was an appetizer special, four claws for $18 Seared Salmon- I ordered mine well done and it was perfect. The sauce and mash potatoes were delicious. 6 layer lasagna- my fiancé said it needed more flavor but the portion was a good size They also serve warm dinner rolls with butter, yum! SERVICE: Our waitress was Kendall. She was so sweet, very attentive and informative. That girl knows her job and does it well. She even took photos and videos for us to capture our special moment. Everything was great! If you're a table of two I would recommend that you request seating upstairs near the windows, preferably the center table. Thank me later!

We came here for our anniversary dinner and we absolutely loved it! We were greeted when we walked in by two hostesses. We informed them that we had a reservation for 7 pm and we were seated immediately and told happy anniversary which was so sweet! We did sit right by the door which was a little weird but we got over it! Our waitress was busy so a gentleman came to take our drink orders. We ordered the Garibaldi Old Fashion and Garibaldi Paloma. We both enjoyed our drinks. Our waitress came over and took our appetizer order and we decided to go with the fried calamari. It came out very quickly and it was delicious! We then ordered the Seafood Alfredo and the Steak Diane and both were so delicious! The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Our waitress was sweet and attentive! The inside is small but they do have an upstairs as well. We will definitely be coming back to try other dishes!
