Though the dining room stays busy, the entrées at
Il Pasticcio (2 E. Broughton St., 912/231-8888, www.ilpasticciosavannah.com, Mon.–Thurs. 5:30–10 p.m., Fri. and Sat. 5:30–11:30 p.m., Sun. 5:30–9:30 p.m., $20–36) take a back seat to its atmosphere: dark, sexy, and Euro-trendy—think Florence or Milan. Take a seat at the cozy, ornate circular bar and ordering an appetizer while you enjoy the cosmopolitan crowd of beautiful people and the spacious views.
The hot new Italian place in town is Leoci’s Trattoria (606 Abercorn St., 912/335-7027, www.leocis.com, daily 11 a.m.–10 p.m., $10–20), named for its executive chef, Italian-American Roberto Leoci. His compact but diverse menu offers delights such as a crispy delicious pizza, excellent paninis, and a wild mushroom risotto. The room is small and intimate and the restaurant is quite popular, so a wait is not unusual.
