Our Anniversary dinner was delicious. Gaston, the server we had was terrific. He was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, personable and efficient. My Osso Buco, recommended by Gaston, was great and on par with my wife’s which is wonderful. Thanks Gaston and Ombra for helping us celebrate our 41 anniversary.

OMBRA Cucina is our favorite Italian restaurant in Hilton Head. They deliver a memorable experience with every item on their menu. We ordered the mussel appetizer, and two dinner specials (Halibut and Ravioli stuffed with Osso Buca). Everything was exceptional which is what we have come to expect from chef Michael.
