Savannah Just Keeps Getting Cooler-Here's Where to Soak in the City's Creative Buzz
Saint Bibiana, the chic coastal Italian restaurant at Hotel Bardo Savannah, satisfies such cravings with house-made pasta (try the torchietti with braised rabbit, zucchini, and Jerusalem artichoke), plus lighter fare such as oysters and daily crudo. Dinner is served seven nights a week, but if you’re in town for the weekend, don’t miss brunch.
Since opening in fall 2023, Hotel Bardo's in-house restaurant, Saint Bibiana, has been one of the hottest destinations in town. At night, people flock here for Italian antipasto and hand-made pasta, but daytime diners will find lots to love on the brunch menu, too.
A maximalist martini is a dangerous gamble, but this take on a vesper—which combines gin, vodka, and three fortified wines—manages to maintain the drink's minimalism while simultaneously amplifying it.
With a menu organized like that of ristorantes in Italy, diners should take their time with antipasti, pasta, secondi, and dolce at Saint Bibiana.
Every dish at Saint Bibiana has nuance and intrigue layered in.
Executive Chef Derek Simcik's menu offers antipasti, pastas, and main dishes such as Grilled Branzino and Duck Rotolo. Don't miss the cocktail list, which is full of inventive concoctions like the fizzy Fra Lippi.
Inspired by the leisurely luxury of the Sardinian coast, Saint Bibiana is effortlessly Savannah’s most glamorous restaurant in its first month of opening.
The menu reflects timeless Italian dishes through a modern lens. Crafted with high-integrity ingredients and acute precision, find house-made pastas, vegetable-driven contorni, mediterranean antipasti, and elevated al fresco spritzes on their menu.
In Savannah, Hotel Bardo arrives next month, complete with coastal Italian Saint Bibiana and The Green Room lobby bar; Derek Simcik serves as chef.
When I finally got there a week or so later, I was impressed with what they had done. This restaurant and this property are a most definite next step for Savannah and her food scene.
Chef Derek Simcik leads the kitchen and pulls inspiration from the Chianti region, portions of Southern Italy, and the island of Sardinia.
"Saint Bibiana is a whimsically layered and convivial space underpinned by timeless glamor and impeccable food and drink," said Left Lane Chief Brand Officer, Jess Berkin. "We're inspired by the effortless energy, food, and service often found on the Mediterranean coast, and have created a space for personal connection and discovery- where everyone is a regular and rare experiences rule."
