Rated 4.8 Stars OpenTable, 3 Stars "EXCELLENT," The Bergen Record and Voted "BEST OF BERGEN" by (201) Magazine and the Bergen Magazine year after year. Savini is a Sophisticated, Award Winning, Northern Italian/American Restaurant. Considered one of the most attractive restaurants in Bergen County, food is served at Savini in what was once a colonial home. What remains of the original only contributes to the aesthetics. But it is a positive culinary experience that diners seek and that is what they get at Savini. It excels in the three most significant barometers of a restaurant's health: Food, Service and Atmosphere. The cuisine is Northern Italian/Continental. Specialties cover the gamut – a selection of fresh fish delivered daily, homemade pasta, veal, chicken, steaks and chops. Enjoy coffee, an after-dinner drink and perhaps late night music in the lounge. Our cuisine and menu will please the most discerning palate and is both distinctive and unique.

Food and service were excellent. Tables were ridiculously close together. So close that I could hear the couple next to us who were clearly on their first date. Nobody wants to dine like this. I couldn’t even get to my seat which out without knocking over things on the table next to us. Good thing no one was sitting on that side!Please consider spacing out the tables a little bit. Would not return only for this reason.

I brought my friends from overseas and they were blown away by how charming and incredibly delicious this new french american restaurant was. The steaks were incredible but the foie gras was memorable. BYOB so highly splurging and bringing a great cab or bordeaux. Perfect for date night or family celebrations, I'm definitely coming back again.
