Reviews for Sabatino's Italian Ristorante in Rapid City, SD
There are only two places in Rapid that do Italian. Olive Garden which is more Americanized Italian food and Sabatino's which is... authentic Italian food. When you enter the establishment, you are treated right away with a very chilled atmosphere. Dark woodtables with custom lighting that hangs down and shines on your table really sets a pleasant mood for dining. The staff is verycourteous and friendly, but a bit soft spoken at times. When you order your meal the food comes out really presented quitenicely along with generous portions. Everything is really done well here from the Lasagna, Manicotti, Salads, Desserts, youname it they don't disappoint! Now let's get the money part of this out of the way. This place will not be a frequent diningfor most people. This is because the price is quite noticeable here in Rapid City. We don't have a lot of fine dining placesother than Junipers that I can think of. Expect to pay anywhere from $75-$100 for a table of 2! The place also includes an 18%gratuity charge on the check as well. 90% of it goes to the waiter or waitress and the other 10% goes to the bartender. Keepthat in mind when deciding how much you want to pay for a tip! This place does everything right for the customer. Theatmosphere, the service, the food, the drinks were all on point. This is the best Italian place in Rapid City, SD bar none. When coming here know that you will spend some money, but Sabatino's makes you feel good about doing it! Read more
We were seated quickly. Service was friendly and quick for seeming to be understaffed. I got the Lobster Ravioli and it was... delicious. The Ceasar salad was great as well. Will definitely go back. Read more
The best Italian cuisine available in the region, not my opinion- only facts. Everything was perfectly fresh and the staff was... very polite. The most memorable item for me, surprisingly, was the Ceasar salad. The dressing was the perfect ratio of creamyand tangy and they were very generous with the parmesan. Read more
We LOVE this place. The food is authentic and amazing! On top of that they have a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. If... you haven’t tried it yet— You’re missing out! Read more
Today, 1/8/22 was our first time trying Sabatinos... we were very impressed. We got there shortly after they opened for lunch.... Our server was attentive and refilled our water multiple times. The calamari was great... good quality and flavor. Loved thedipping sauce. Haven't had good calamari like that in years. Then comes our lunch entrees.. I was shocked by the portions! Greatvalue for the price. Some of the best lasagna I've ever had. I think it was bolognese that was on the top and that was so good.My fiancé loved his Chicken Parmigiano sandwich which was also a generous portion for the price. Overall, one of the bestrestaurants I've been to in Rapid City. I can tell that the chef really knows what they are doing and that the ingredients usedare authentic and fresh. I also loved the atmosphere. Clean, classy, comfortable. We will definitely be back! Read more
We tried Sabatinos for the first time and loved it. It was a cozy, romantic atmosphere that we appreciated for our... anniversary. Our waitress was wonderful and the food was amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the girl at the front deskwas less than friendly. Everyone else was very professional. Read more
Loved the food, the closest you’ll get to Italian cuisine in Rapid City. We made reservations to avoid the wait. My only... suggestion is doing something to reduce/control the noise, we had a difficult time having a conversation because the place isvery busy. Overall would go back again and would definitely recommend the establishment. Read more
We had a fantastic meal at Sabatino’s! Start to finish, everything was amazing and so full of flavor. Hands down our favorite... meal of our entire trip. The best part of the experience was our waiter, Jones. He was so kind and personable and made greatsuggestions for dessert and traveling in SD. If we are ever in Rapid City again, I know we’ll make a stop here. Read more
