OMBRA has quickly become a local favorite and top rated restaurant destination for its regional Italian cooking, contemporary style, and true to the Italian culinary traditions. OMBRA is dedicated to bringing to you the finest and freshest fish and seafood from local markets. Rustic flavors are presented throughout the menu in refreshing ways incorporating more local ingredients into the Italian classics.
Executive Chef Michael Cirafesi now brings to Hilton Head Island and the Lowcountry, one of the area’s most acclaimed Italian restaurant and bar, OMBRA Cucina Italiana. Michael Cirafesi is one of Hilton Head’s top executive chefs, garnering awards and recognitions in culinary excellence for his authentic Italian cuisine with innovative flair. Most recently Chef Michael has been awarded the Best Chef on Hilton Head award by Hilton Head Monthly Reader’s Choice Awards in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, 2018, & 2019. OMBRA was also named Best Italian three years in a row 2017, 2018, & 2019.
Where there is Italian food, wine and spirits are never far behind and are very important to experiencing the complete dining event. OMBRA is also known for its eclectic selection of premier Italian wines, cocktails, liquors and top shelf spirits. Its wine list has grown significantly with strong showings in the Brunello, Super Tuscan and Amarone categories including serious, highly rated and esoteric producers. The wine list is personally selected creating a perfectly paired dining experience.
We like Ombra, albeit it is a little stiff and pretentious, but the food is excellent.
