"Inside Bardo, this restaurant’s Italian comfort food menu is a must—exactly the kind of satisfying meal that pairs with a lazy afternoon by the pool." - Katie Lockhart
"Here, cast iron hashes, frittatas, and French toasts arrive at the table as hot as the patrons are poised to dig into them. Like the rest of Hotel Bardo, Saint Bibiana is a rare place to satisfy a friend with unrealistically high standards." - Kiki Dy
"Cheekily named for the patron saint of hangovers, this coastal Italian-inspired restaurant in Hotel Bardo is designed for indulgence. Relax into oversized chairs and banquettes while tucking into chef/culinary director Derek Simcik’s Sicilian-style arancini (saffron mozzarella risotto stuffed with tomato-braised Heritage Berkshire pork), heaping bowls of pasta, and tableside bread service. Then, wash it all down with an amaro digestif and a prayer to St. B." - Colleen McNally Arnett
"700 Hundred Drayton Street has a sexy new makeover. Inspired by the leisurely luxury of the Sardinian coast, Saint Bibiana is effortlessly Savannah’s most glamorous restaurant in its first month of opening. Chef Derek Simcik leads the kitchen, preparing and plating gorgeous Southern Italian and Sardinian dishes. Standouts include saffron arancini stuffed with tomato-braised pork, campenelle with octopus puttanesca and pork crackling, and duck rotolo. This welcome, high-end addition to Forsyth Park’s dining scene is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or any random weeknight when you want to feel famous." - Kiki Dy
"Located in the aforementioned Hotel Bardo, this restaurant “bridges the two realms of pasta and seafood,” Culberson says, strongly nodding to coastal Italian and Mediterranean fare. Its timeless, effortless aesthetic matches its thoughtfully curated menu of house-made pastas and specialty cocktails." - Karen Norian
