Michael Anthony’s Cucina Italiana is a true gem on Hilton Head Island. The atmosphere is lively yet refined, with an inviting, well-appointed dining space that feels like part of a family-run establishment. Given the consistent crowd, it’s clear this restaurant has built a loyal following—and for good reason. My wife requested a custom Pasta Primavera with added chicken, and it was excellent. I had the Veal Scaloppini, which was also very well executed. In past visits, I’ve tried the lasagna, and I’d say it’s among the best I’ve had anywhere. Everything we ordered reflected the kitchen’s commitment to fresh ingredients and careful preparation. We started with a prosciutto Caprese salad, featuring dark red, perfectly ripened tomatoes, a balsamic glaze, and arugula. The flavors balanced beautifully, and the fresh bread served alongside it was a great touch. One of the things that sets Michael Anthony’s apart is their in-house pasta, made fresh daily—it makes a noticeable difference in the quality of their dishes. Their wine list is impressive, with a strong selection of authentic European and Italian wines. While they offer a few Napa options, the list leans heavily toward Old World wines, which makes sense for an Italian restaurant. Service was attentive throughout the meal, despite how busy they were. And they are always busy. Even on a Monday night, the place was packed, and when I asked if that was normal, I was told it’s the standard here. Reservations are definitely a good idea. Across the way, they also run a specialty grocery store and café, which adds to their appeal. Everything about Michael Anthony’s shows a dedication to high-quality, authentic Italian food. If you’re in Hilton Head and enjoy Italian cuisine, this place is well worth a visit.

Thank you to Thad for his excellent service and super friendly demeanor.

Very nice evening with another couple celebrating Valentines. Food and service are consistently outstanding at Red Fish, and ambiance is always great...... It's a very popular spot that everyone enjoys. We don't need a special occasion to dine at Hilton Head's finest restaurants, as we dine out almost every night, but this is always a good choice for a cozy & romantic setting to treat yourself to excellent cuisine and a memorable dining experience. We ordered the NY Strip to share and our guests had the Halibut special and the Salmon. All were beautiful in presentation, and served timely and hot. Server checked on us often which is extremely important to me (something for which isn't often given enough credit). Thank you most kindly & see you next time.

My party enjoyed the filet Oscar from the early dining menu. Everything was absolutely delicious and the potions were more than generous! I ordered my filet medium rare and it was definitely on the rare side. Both of my friends ordered their filets medium. One came out medium rare, the second was definitely rare. She sent it back and when it came back one end was still quite rare, but she kept it.

Ombra is my favorite Hilton Head restaurant for date night. I had the special ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce. It was cooked to perfection and delicious! Great food, great service, great ambiance. Probably not the best for kids, but I have brought them before….
