Savona RestaurantExcellent as alwaysI went twice in last 2 weeks, and the service and food were excellent. I love the crab salad, and both the steak and surf and turf special were wonderful. My daughter thinks the dover sole is the best around. Try to get a soufle for dessert.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood for a business gatheringIt is quiet and the setting private.

Nice touches with unexpected dishes from chef.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMSavona - for a special eveningWe had our 3rd or 4th meal at Savona, and it was excellent. At first, the prices seems a trifle high, but the chef sends out small samplers, and the fresh bread is hot and superb. Carmen and his staff are attentive and very pleasant, without being at all obsequious. The atmosphere is beautiful, and they do not rush you through your meal. The entrees are diverse and interesting, and you get a very generous serving. It is a wonderful treat and dining experience.
Cindy L. O'D.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial Occasion RestaurantWe sat in the corner table on the "patio" (it's inside, not like a real patio). Everything was absolutely wonderful--service, food, ambiance. They bring little tastes of things from the chef which is very nice. It is an expensive restaurant but very much worth it.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMRare five star review in the 'burbsThe rare 5 star review from this OT VIP. Stellar execution from host, to wait, to kitchen staff. Everything sparkled from the moment we sat, till the moment the lemon tyme dessert was plated. Large fish selection on this particular evening (fine with us) and we sampled the Alaskan Halibut and the Sea Bass, the primi was short rib homemade ravioli that were simply decadent. Can't wait to go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMOur dinner was excellent.Our dinner was excellent. Each of us enjoyed our main course. WSe shared 2 appetizers and one dessert among the four of us and found those excellent also.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLost some of its "pizzazz"Lost some of its "pizzazz" from earlier years. Very rushed (like wanting to clear plates before we were finished?) Never offered coffee at the end of the meal.
Also, very pricey.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMA Beautiful Night out at SavonaWe had an exceptional dinner at Savona. The entrees were fantastic (we each had the striped bass and dover sole, respectively). Dinner was paired with a fantastic French wine. Desserts were delicious as well.
Service was, if anything, even more incredible than the food. Although the restaurant was packed to capacity, it felt as if we had the wait staff to ourselves, as we were the recipients of constant attention.
We particularly enjoyed the little treats between courses, such as the palate cleansing sorbet, mini-marshmallows and champagne.
The only negative, and it was a slight one, was the addition of squid ink to the risotto appetizer. It seemed like overkill, and really didn't add to the aesthetics of the presentation.3/2/2013 12:00:00 AMTook my husband here for hisTook my husband here for his birthday, he and I both thought it was terrific. We were treated extremely well, the food was delicious and well presented. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a high class experience!2/27/2013 12:00:00 AM
