“ The menu and wine list are short. The food is wonderful- homemade pasta and delicious branzino. Wine selection is excellent. Service is so attentive and fun. A lovely experience. We will go back again and again. ”
“ Best meal we had in Savannah. The focaccia appetizer is amazing - warm, fresh bread and delicious toppings! We had the chicken parm sandwich and mushroom pasta and both were delicious. Finished with tirimisu. Overall a memorable and satisfying experience! ”
“ If you're staying near Foresyth Park, dinner at Veratina is a must! My wife and I finally came to Savannah for a stay. Before arriving, I asked the bed and breakfast owner for an Italian restaurant recommendation and he strongly suggested Veratina. He was spot on! Dinner started with what had to be the best Caesar salad we've ever had. Topped with finely shaved Parmesan cheese, deliciously crunchy 'pan fritto' (I was told this was focaccia croutons ground into crumbs), a 6-minute soft boiled egg and the perfect amount of dressing, I ate slowly and deliberately, realizing that no Caesar salad I order in the future will EVER compare to this. For dinner, my wife had the cavatelli pasta and I had the sirloin. Upon first bite, my wife said eating the cavatelli was like a 'party in her mouth', as flavor after flavor came and went. Sausage, garlic, broccolini, wine and spice mixed to perfection. She insisted I try some and I was in total agreement. Amazing. This takes nothing away from one of the finest steak dinners I've ever had. My sirloin, sitting in a delectable balsamic reduction and topped with crispy sunchoke chips, was cooked to medium perfection. Bite after bite was heaven. Some might think a dinner this wonderful to be a fluke. They'd be wrong. After a long day of site seeing, we decided to stop in again for a few drinks and appetizers. We asked about the bar seating, but sadly, it was full. The only available seats were 'kitchen view' high tops. We grabbed them, ordered a few drinks, the Caesar to split, along with scampi and broccolini appetizers. And watching the kitchen crew orchestrating meal after meal was a bonus. Outstanding again! If you're in Savannah, I encourage you to make a reservation at Veratina. It's likely you'll be as amazed and pleased as we were. ”
“ I’m so happy about this new restaurant. Their lunch is exceptional. The location is beautiful, calm, well distributed, quiet. The food is delicious, excellent ingredients, excellent timing (perfect for a short lunch break), the attention is great and their staff works clean! Congratulations Veratina! I can’t wait to see your success offering dinner and cocktails ”
“ We had a 9:00 PM dinner reservation at Veratina on a Friday night. The space is very nice, kind of a modern Italian vibe with a southern flavor. We ordered the Shrimp Scampi and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. Fresh Georgia shrimp and excellent flavor profile. We also had the Cavatelli and Mafaldine with a side of green beans. The pasta is hand made in house and very well done. We enjoyed our experience, the service was excellent. I would like to return to see if they add any other pastas to the menu. I would rate the food a 4.6 out of 5. ”
“ The time I'm writing this review they're in a soft opening mode. So it has not been full table service although they plan to offer full service in the near future. But they're limited. Soft opening menu has been delicious the three times I've been. They have great taste in decor as they have created a modern looking and comfortable space to eat and drink. I am awaiting the opening of their full bar which should also happen soon and then I will post a new review. ”
“ Veratina in Savannah is a gem! The Sunday pasta was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend! ”
“ Excellent Italian food. Easily the best Italian in Savannah. Atmosphere is great, with fun outdoor patios. They do have a kids menu. Cocktails are unique, good, but a little on the sweet side. Highly recommended, will come back again! ”
