Sabatino's Italian Ristorante

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 great suggestions for dessert and traveling in SD. If we are ever in Rapid City again, I know we’ll make a stop here.

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 wood tables with custom lighting that hangs down and shines on your table really sets a pleasant mood for dining. The staff is very courteous and friendly, but a bit soft spoken at times. When you order your meal the food comes out really presented quite nicely along with generous portions. Everything is really done well here from the Lasagna, Manicotti, Salads, Desserts, you name 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 dining for most people. This is because the price is quite noticeable here in Rapid City. We don't have a lot of fine dining places other 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. Keep that in mind when deciding how much you want to pay for a tip! This place does everything right for the customer. The atmosphere, 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!

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.

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 creamy and tangy and they were very generous with the parmesan.

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 desk was less than friendly. Everyone else was very professional.
