    We had a reservation but we’re not sure they paid attention to our special request. We had asked to be seated in the quietest area of the restaurant. When we arrived the hostess seemed a bit confused and proceeded to sit us in the middle of the restaurant. Oh well. The food was excellent and the service was good. At 8:30 pm (less than 90 minutes are our arrival) they were waiting for us to leave so they could close. Overall a good experience but missing a couple of details was important to us.,

    We dined at Sabatino's for our 46th Wedding Anniversary. Enjoyed a lovely booth for our dinner, however, no other mention was made of our celebration (and it had been NOTED on our Open Table Reservation). Was hoping to meet the owner....but he appeared busy with a large group. The food was Delicious. The Caprese Salad with Burrata cheese was fabulous. We have been to Italy....so we know this food. Chef does a fabulous job. We have recommended to friends. We will return.

    The service was wonderful!!! We had the lasagna, tortellini alla panna and pizza. All of these dishes were excellent. Would definitely eat here again. Make reservations so that you won't have to wait for a table.

    I arrived at Sabatino's only to find the restaurant no longer serving for the day, despite my reservation. The host admitted their reservation system was not working properly. The restaurant seemed well decorated, comfortable, and quiet with several tables of diners, but of course I can't review food or service.

    Last night we visited Sabatino’s restaurant after a day visiting Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. We called ahead to make sure we were within dress code, they said yes. Once there, our experience was quite shocking.  When the waitress came, we placed our drink order followed by our entrees. My wife ordered pasta and they did not have her selection; then, she changed her order and they did not have the second item. Finally, they said they did not have pizza. By that time, both owners came to our table and we asked what they had available to order and said: ”nothing”.  We looked around and they kept seating and serving people arriving after us. Of note, the owners had an irate attitude and my wife was intimidated they might become physical at us. We were a group of 4, all professional adults over 50, visiting SD from another country. We do not understand what triggered this situation, but it was humiliating and quite frankly not representative of the beautiful state of South Dakota.

    Good food and convenient location in downtown Rapid City. Was surprised a person on the staff wore a shirt that said “Don’t Know, Don’t Care”.
