Top Best Italian Restaurants in Bluffton

"Long considered one of Savannah's best pizza restaurants, Vinnie Van Go Go's in City Market is a popular destination among both locals and tourists alike. The restaurant's thin and hearty crust Neopolitan-style pizzas can be ordered whole or by the slice and feature an array of toppings including standards such as pepperoni, spinach, onions, mushrooms and olives, along with more adventurous choices like banana peppers, broccoli, sundried tomatoes, pineapple, spicy Italian sausage and more. Vinnie's also offers spinach salad and calzones for those who want something a little different, along with a great selection of beer."

"The pizza slices at Vinnie's are bigger than the plates, plus they're cheap and GOOD (an excellent combo). The establishment is cash-only, but they do have an ATM on site. The outdoor patio space is covered and has about 10 tables, but it's often difficult to find a spot because it's such a popular restaurant."

"We can’t have a ‘best of’ list that doesn’t include pizza, and not only is pizza a crowd pleaser every time, but it’s also a great option for budget-conscious travelers. In Savannah, Vinnie Van Go-Go’s in City Market is the go-to pizza joint for fresh, hearty pizza."

"Panini’s On the Waterfront is an elegant restaurant serving upscale menu offerings in a casual environment. It’s listed as an Italian restaurant but the seafood offerings are nothing short of amazing. If you’re a shrimp lover then you’ll definitely want to check out their selections of seafood prepared with an Italian twist."

"With two locations in Savannah - on Ellis Square in the Historic District, and in the Sandfly neighborhood near Isle of Hope - this regional chain restaurant has been offering Savannah diners a unique concept since 2008. You can simply select your crust, sauce, cheese and toppings or you can opt for one of the restaurant's unique creations. Weight watchers will appreciate the whole wheat crust and low-fat cheese options, while those with a more daring palate can go for the Thai Pie or Southern Heat - chicken smothered in hot sauce, with jalapeños, red onions and melted Mozzarella."

"Chain restaurants, so not specific to Savannah, but definitely worth mentioning because their pizza is great! Offers vegan cheese, vegan meaty crumbles, lots of veggie toppings to choose from, and usually has at least one flavor of vegan gelato or sorbet for dessert."

"A good pizza restaurant always has to make it in any list of travel recommendations, so including Hearth Wood Fired Pizza in this Beaufort travel guide was no exception. Don’t let the name confuse you though, Hearth Wood Fired Pizza has a pretty extensive menu, with appetizers, salads, and pasta dishes in addition to their selection of inventive pizzas. I had a Caprese salad and the rotini marsala with chicken, and Harper had the pasta and meatballs."

"Opened in June 2014, this trendy eatery - the brainchild of award-winning owner and Chef Hugh Acheson and Chef Kyle Jacovino - is one of Savannah's most popular restaurants. The ingredients are southern-grown but, from the freshly baked bread, cheeses and aperitifs to the cappuccino, the focus is definitely Italiano. Housed in a refurbished ice factory, the interior showcases marble table tops, high ceilings and reclaimed wood, lending a definite laid-back atmosphere, which in turn, makes it a very inviting place."

"What: A part of the Telfair Museums complex, this historical art gallery was once a mansion built in 1818 by William Jay, and now showcases a plethora of American and European artwork, as well as two 19th century period rooms and some of the original family furnishings. Paintings, sculptures, works on paper…those who love the arts will enjoy a wander through this historical mansion.
