Natalia's

Nice spot for anniversary or birthday dinner. Expensive. Steak was raw but they did give us a complimentary dessert to make up for it. On a side note, I'm not sure if it was the under cooked steak or the oil/cheese for dipping bread but I got sick after eating here🤢

We had a wonderful time there! The food, atmosphere and service was great! We will be back.

Holden was incredible! After dinner he let us hangout on the patio to continue our dinner party. He made sure we were taken care of and kept the fireplace warm all evening.

Such a beautiful place and great atmosphere!! Wanted to eat somewhere nicer for my birthday with my husband and we were able to make reservations super easy online! Our waitress, Addison, was the sweetest, most kind server I’ve ever had! Definitely will be back and highly recommend!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing dinner at Natalia’s! Lance was an absolute blast—super helpful, personable, and just an all-around great guy. The food was over the top: the tuna tartare, Caesar salad, a whole stuffed fish beautifully served over mashed potatoes, and my wife’s pasta—all incredible. Thank you for making a wonderful impromptu date night even better!

The food was great! Nothing exceptional in my opinion, but the ambiance and service are on point. They attended our every need, made us feel welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are looking for fine dining, for a special occasion.

Great meal last night celebrating a special day. This was my first time visiting this place and the food was very good. I had prime rib with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Based off of last night, I would def visit again.

Amazing place. Stop by. Outdoor seating as well has a beautiful patio. Cozy rooms. White tablecloth service

Okay, oddly enough, did not eat here however we stopped in for drinks after being on the road all day. We'd eaten prior to our arrival and this place was walking distance to our hotel. Fortunately, they do have a bar however it was full. The hostess indicated we could get drinks at the bar and enjoy them on the patio which turned out to be a splendid idea! It was 70 degrees with zero humidity in August which is odd for south Georgia. Very nice ambiance, the only hint of pretentiousness was the disapproving glances we received from the local gentry for our flagrant dress code violations! Very upscale for Macon, Ga. Overall, a nice ending to a busy day!

Excellent as always great food great service great ambiance will go back anytime we are in the area

Party of 2 stepped in and were seated fairly quickly. Great atmosphere. The staff was very nice and informative. We started with cosmo's they were on point! Next was some delicious baked bread and a house salad that was delicious and ample.i then had the BEST ever lasagna ! Honestly the Best! I will dream of this dish- it was not overly cheesy and the beef was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend.

This was our first visit here. My fiancé and I took my parents here for my birthday dinner. We were a little disappointed. We thought this place was pretentious for the city of a Macon. The prices are a little ridiculous for the quality of food. We don't have a problem spending $40+ on an entree but those $40-50 entrees are totally worth it with presentation, and elevated flavor. We started with calamari. The calamari was too salty. All our entrees were good but not spectacular. I felt like I had better meatballs at a local ma and pa Italian restaurant in fort myers fl. My mom loved the shrimp in her pesto pasta. My fiancé stuck with the rigatoni which can't be messed up too much. I felt like and I was expecting more options on the menu. The service was great. And with having such high prices I believe the seating arrangements should be a little different. Having 4 grown adults scoot in a corner booth is very silly and only occur at a Denny's. I wanted to impress my parents who were visiting us and to have a special birthday dinner. But having my 70+ old parents struggling to get in and out of the booth was ridiculous. I had to redeem their first Macon culinary experience and take them to the Rookery. Yes this is a nice fancy place to impress your dates. But my fiancé and I will be trying other restaurants for our date nights.

My husband and I stumbled upon Natalie's while searching for a fine dining establishment in Macon. We made reservations and dined here on a Saturday night. The staff was friendly and professional, and we were seated immediately after arrival. The ambiance was intimate, with dim lighting, and the music playing was elegant. The decor was traditional yet had an expansive look with decorative finesse. Our waitress was personable and attentive. We started off with drinks, and they were made well. I had the white Sangria, and my husband had the  Peach Old Fashioned. We shared an appetizer of calamari, which was flavorful and crispy. It is definitely on my top 5 list of best calamari. Toasted bread and cream cheese was served to the table, It was tasty. My entree was the Chilean Seabass, and my husband had the grilled salmon. The fish was cooked properly, and all the flavors of both dishes married well. The presentation was also lovely. Customer Service was outstanding. The food and drinks were superb. If you are looking for an upscale restaurant to impress a date or for a special occasion, look no further.

Food is nice not a lot to try but always good when we go. They have the best desserts especially the chocolate cake is a must try. Even the bar area is nice and they usually make great drinks (try their lemon drop) The service is great, servers are attentive

The ambiance was just right for the occasion of my anniversary. The staff were courteous and the food was amazingly good and well portioned.

Convenient location for business dinners while you're traveling. Reservations are recommended but you can often walk in and grab a seat at a bar table for smaller parties. Their menu isn't overwhelming and everything is delicious. I love their risotto! They have an excellent wine selection and often will suggest a tasting of some that may pair better with your entree. Great folks!

Very expensive for what we got. I don't mind spending money in a restaurant but I like to feel like I got value for my money. Entrees were overpriced. Caveat emptor. Look at the menu online to decide if you feel like paying those prices. Worse, they automatically added a 20% "service fee" to our bill and then the waiter asked me to add another tip on top of that just for him. I thought that was very crass and greedy. Don't we go to the restaurant for service? I can make steak and salad at home. So why pay inflated prices for the food and then have to pay an extra 20% for the service? And then personally tip your waiter even more? We wouldn't go back. The food was good, prices were high, the service charge/tipping thing was insulting.

Food & service were incredible. We had a large party and it was flawless, our group loved the crab cake.

Visited restaurant for a private dinner. Close to the highway. Easy to get to. Parking was ok at night. But would probably be limited during the day. Shared free parking with another business. Clean place with friendly staff. Let me say this. This place had one of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever used. But I could smell cigarette smoke inside the restroom and when I walked out. Not sure why. It was a bit off putting. I had chicken Parmesan, Caesar salad and limoncello cake. My goodness. Everything I had was amazing and presented well. Their food is cooked to order and farm to table. I was impressed. Lance was our waiter and he was awesome!!! Very attentive and anticipated our needs. Would definitely return.

So we just left. Some giy came in acting like this weird Guido. He said his wife works in HR. Je started a fight with us and they asked is to leave. The "executive cheof ask is to leave ans asid he understands, but I have to work woth hos wife I hace Thousands of dollars of reciepts I can post. We are refylats that will choose to go elsewhere.

Eating at long last at Natalia's after all these years! I moved away from Macon back in the 80s, when they first opened & never had the pleasure of dining here when the original owner, Natalia, opened it. Thus, I can't compare the recipes, service, etc. to how "it used to be." A friend's family invited me to their annual holiday dinner so I'm not reviewing as a "regular" diner. We enjoyed the cozy bar right before settling in to one of their private banquet rooms, decked out for Christmas. The three-course menu offered an enticing variety. I chose a Caesar Salad, Steelhead Trout w/ broccollini & roasted potatoes + Tiramasu dessert. The ricotta with herbs and olive oil that came with the bread was a nice touch. Everything was consistently good. I thought they might offer more traditional Italian dishes, such as Gnocchi, Cioppino or Ossobuco and/or desserts like Panna Cotta, New York-style Italian Cheesecake or Zabaglione. Because I'm Italian, I've grown up eating at iconic Italian restaurants, in Atlanta, NYC & San Fran, so have "outrageous" expectations! Thankful to finally dine here, experience the local ambience and warmth of the servers/bartender though.

I have yet to find an entree that I really like here - the steak and salmon are good, but better at other restaurants in the area- such as Circa and Downtown Grill. I do love their cocktails ( specifically the spicy margarita, and limoncello) calamari, and bread pudding! I will not go back for dinner but will be back for my favorite appetizer, bread pudding, and drinks!

This is a "special occasion" restaurant that we happened on while driving home from Florida. It is very cute from the outside--like a European villa. Most people were fairly dressy but we were in capri pants and shorts. They seated us in the bar area and were very gracious. The service was prompt and efficient, bringing me a Tanquery and tonic quickly. We odered two appetizers--burata and tappanade bruscheta, and braesoala carpaccio. Both great! And then for mains we had Shrimp pasta, and Redfish sautee. Again both were really great. If you get a chance to go--definitely do it!!

Great food service and Ambiance The outdoor garden is great and they let us sit outside with our dogs.

We went there for my granddaughter's 15th birthday. It was so much fun getting all dressed up and going out. The food was extraordinary, the wait staff were exemplary. It was a very special evening!!!

First, I'm completely confused why the owner of this upscale Italian restaurant chose this location for this restaurant. The restaurant sits in a newly developed area that neighbors several chain hotels, like Tru, Hampton Inn and others. This would normally be a location for a family friendly eatery. Natalia is definitely not for families. In fact, I would say that they would prefer tourists stay away. We are a senior couple and were traveling home from Anna Maria Island. Once checked in the hotel, we called for reservations and inquired about dress code. It was 97 degrees and humid in Macon; I assume this is normal. Since I was wearing shorts and a collared shirt I was told we could dine in the bar where it "is more casual ". We arrived five minutes early and the hostess did not seat us until exactly 5:30. Our table was marked reserved and would be the only one occupied. We noticed as we waited that locals would walk right in say hi and go to their table. Now, our server was accommodating and friendly. The food was very good but not exceptional. Cocktails and two entrees were over $120.00. This price is expected at this caliber of restaurant. We just feel Natalie's is definitely for local folks and non Macon residents can go elsewhere.

Fine dining at its best!!!! We had a perfect meal here! We three shared the scallops and ahi tuna appetizers and then had our entrees. The special Chilean sea bass , the salmon , and the Dover Sole were all truly delicious. ( I tasted each one but I had the sea bass). The Dover Sole is a favorite wherever we eat, and that is the best we have ever had. Really great! The service was immaculate, the drinks were great, and the ambiance was delightful! We can't wait to go back!!!

Amazing dinner for gatherings, anniversary, birthday, retirement, you name it! The food is incredible and atmosphere memorable! We will definitely be back! Check this gem out! Everything from an amazing filet and pasta to lemon butter salmon, you will leave full of flavor!

It is a 5 star restaurant definitely nice for dates and family. It was reservations done in advance party of 8 they contacted me 4x before the actual reservation which was wonderful and appreciated. Our service and Waitress was phenomenal I can't explain how incredible important this is Loved loved if anything my family had the waitress smiling with our jokes,nice guy Nathen I can't remember but he was wonderful. The chef was excellent I ate and the salad it was well prepared freshly fresh everything my daughter had pasta and shrimp and I wish I would've gotten a Ribeye but I ate 8oz steak medium rare with sauce delicious. The board was so big and we shared as a family. I would recommend it to anyone that can afford it ,also the menu changes so wait until u get there

Went it here a girls night out - everything was fantastic from service, food,drinks, and ambiance! Total recommend!

Aww man, this was my 2nd time having dinner and it was not as great as the first about a year ago. Walked in about 8pm on a Tuesday and was hoping to just grab a seat at the bar. Sadly the seats were reserved, but they had a table available a in the bar area. Sat down and ordered a glass of wine and moved onto scallops with chorizo for an app and a small plate of rigatoni in a bolganese sauce for my meal. Well as I sat and waited for dinner, one of the waiters came to move the empty chair to another table how it clattered rather loudly against my table and honestly startled me a little. My app arrived and at first sight you could see that they were on the verge of bring burnt. So if that side looked like that, you can imagine the other side. It was late and the server saw my hesitation and offered to replace them, but I did want to bother, again it was late. Overall the dish was just ok and a bit to spicy to me, and I love spicy! Onto my meal...what a disappointment. I was ready for al dente...but this was beyond. My first bite was unpleasant. To the point it hurt my teeth. The rest if the half of the dish was like a guessing game...will I get a good bite, will i not. I gave up at one point. I wont go into detail In regards to my 2nd glass of wine because the waiter resolved the issuse. All in all, not sure if it's just because it was a busy night so maybe they were "off". But it definitely was :(

Good spot and convenient if staying at the hotels nearby. The interior space is dated looking but nice. They also have an outdoor patio that I put a note in for our reservation but somehow it got lost in translation. We ended up sitting inside which was too bad but the weather was so nice we really wanted outdoor dining. The bread with olive oil and feta cheese was yummy to start. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I ordered the rigatoni. It was pretty good but honestly overpriced for what it was. The desert was really good. We ordered the gluten free chocolate one and it was really good. The waitress was very attentive which keeps the 4 star rating, Otherwise I would rate this place a 3-3 & 1/2 star rating

Food is VERY good .. service is always great i always get in no problem . Friendly staff been going for a while now never had a bad experience . I always make it a priority to eat here when im in town

Natalia's was delicious from start to finish! We started with the fried calamari & jalapeños and the smoked fish. Then I had the rib-eye special. We finished dinner with the banana fosters bread pudding and the apple pie dessert. All the food was phenomenal. Our server, Katie, was very attentive and fun! I'll definitely go back!

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.

The ambiance is cozy, and romantic. Our server was very sweet, and accommodating. The food was delicious. My only complaint is the amount of time it took to receive our main courses, also it would have been nice to have more menu options. I would have loved garlic bread, and more traditional Italian fare such as, Chicken parmesan, veal Milanese, or even carbonara.

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.

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.

I had a wonderful experience here! We didn't have reservations, but we were able to be seated in the bar area witch was still wonderful. Our waiter Valentine was extremely helpful! My party dined on the evening specials and everything we ate was wonderful. From the custom cocktails to the white chocolate bread pudding, we were impressed by the rich flavors each dish boasted. Definitely will return! Only thing was the decor, they had holiday decorations which were some creepy clowns in the entrance but still ok LOL

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

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.

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.

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

Me and the guys from work went in the first then the lady at the front ask was was we all live in a barn if I wasn't at work I would have let go and let her really think I was raised in a barn

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Always amazing been coming here for 4 years, one of the best places to travel the xtra hours. Food, service, ambiance, desserts. Delicious. A must do!

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

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.

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.
