Have you ever tried fresh pasta? No, I mean fresh pasta – the kind made in-house by the loving hands of a chef and/or someone’s nonna. If not, well, we’re in luck – I found a spot serving up what might be the most delicious, freshest pasta in South Dakota, and you’ll find it in Rapid City in an unassuming little restaurant that might otherwise be a little too easy to overlook. It’s called Sabatino’s Italian Ristorante, and honestly, it could be one of the downright best places to eat in South Dakota.
I personally find the exterior to be just as cute as the interior. The paint, the overall architectural style of the place it's hidden away in - there's just something charming about it.
With incredible dish after incredible dish, it's easy to see why this Italian-born chef is considered among the best in Rapid City. He has a long history of working in places like Beverly Hills - and now he's here, in our backyards, serving up world-class pasta dishes.
Of course, you'll want to make sure you have enough of an appetite for the incredible apps and sides, like the fresh-baked bread that's like something from the heavens.
If you fall in love with this little spot, you'll also want to check out Pizza by Sabatino's - it's all the amazingness of Sabatino's, but in pizza form - and it's to die for.
It's rarely ever as peaceful or placid as these photos make it look - show up during the week, and your chances of it being less busy are higher.
But I promise it's worth the wait, whatever it might be - it's an amazing Italian joint right here in South Dakota, and it's about time we had one so close.
Check out the official Sabatino’s Italian Restaurant website for the most up-to-date hours, menu, and specials. It’s great for a date night, birthdays, solo nights out, or whatever else you’ve got up your sleeve. Have fun and enjoy – I’m sure you’ll love it.
