Awful Firstly, the online menu did not appear as they offered a vastly reduced choice. Main course was served whilst we were all still eating the first course. So of course they then served the main course stone cold. At that point complaining was going to be a waste of time. A poor Rayo g would be generous

First time dining here. We split three apps and a dessert. All were delicious, nicely presented, and priced right. The burrata with balsamic cherry jam and coccoli bread (like a salty donut hole - we'd never had it before) all had nice texture and taste, and the right temperature - the cheese was barely cool, not cold. The chicory salad was somewhat lacking in pecorino, but no matter - there was an abundance of greens and fresh figs, all with a light, freshly ground pepper dressing. The hamachi crudo was fresh and lovely to behold. Personally, I would have preferred some togarashi to finish the dish, but my partner thought it might overwhelm the delicate citrus. For dessert, we split the semifreddo recommended by the waiter - good choice! The wine list is not extensive, but we found the rose to be a perfect accompaniment to the apps. Table service was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful without being intrusive. We really enjoyed this place, and will be back the next time we're at a Staples Center event - less than two weeks from now. Next time, some pasta!

We really enjoyed Savoca’s food, service, and ambiance. The seared branzino was crispy, juicy, and tender. It was very well presented. Our server was attentive and efficient. Our dessert was also delicious- pear ricotta with honey gelato. A memorable experience!

As a vegan, I checked the menu in advance and knew I would order the roasted tomato with plant-based “meat.” It was excellent! I could see that if they had a mushroom or veggie broth the tortellini could also be made vegan (hold the cheese!), and there were no vegan appetizers, though bruschetta would be easy to add to the menu.

The food was awful. The pizza looked and tasted like a child’s menu pizza. The portions were small and flavors lacking. I honestly wouldn’t have eaten this meal for free let alone at the prices I laid. There were very few wait staff. The restaurant was overly lit for dinner creating a poor ambiance.

I had the chicken breast, which was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My review is less than stellar because the restaurant was chilly ( physically) and is reminiscent of a cafeteria in decor. It’s too big and loud., as it is all hard surfaces and completely open to the lobby. It has huge windows facing the ads on the walls outside. It feels like you’re at the airport.

You had no choice but to take the buffet and it had very limited options it made for an expensive brunch with minimal options. Only regular fruit was banana. I just assumed normal brunch/breakfast when booking.

We had a birthday breakfast for my husband here, we were staying at Ritz Carlton, my omelet cheese was not melted had to send it back we ordered the French toast and it was barely warm. They did remove both items off the check. Server was good just issues with getting hot food. When they did bring back the French toast it was great!!

What initially lured me in, upon discovering this place, was the "cottages" they had set up on the restaurant's patio with respect to outdoor dining during this pandemic. Each party was designated their own "cottage." It was charming, inviting, and might I say, romantic, and most definitely private. The ongoing change in lights also made us feel as though we were in Times Square, NY. It was quite the vibe! Add to that our excellent and most attentive server, Ryan and his knowledge of food & drink and love of travel, and I began to doubt the naysayers on Yelp. Though the menu is limited, the few things we had ordered were all absolutely delicious! I had my friend try the burrata, which is my favorite cheese ever, but a first for him, and we agreed the combination of the creaminess of the Italian cow's milk with the salted crispness of the fluffy Coccoli bread, sent our tastebuds to Heaven. We both thought we would definitely come back here just for this appetizer alone!! The cacio e pepe (cheese & black pepper pasta), 3-cheese pizza, and pan-roasted branzino (one of my favorite fish and not one you often find on menus) were all divine. When you have excellent customer service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance to boot, you've got the trifecta of fine dining that is very hard to come by these days. Savoca check marks all those boxes and is worth coming back to again and again.

The restaurant was understaffed and the food was pretty lackluster. My omelet was overcooked, the potatoes were tasteless and if it wasn’t for our wonderful server, Debbie, the whole breakfast would have been a pretty bad. She was attentive, and very nice and did her best to make us happy- she’s a pro.

We visited for breakfast, we had a large group with different households and wanted to ensure we sat close by. Savoca was wonderful by putting us in our own area while following COVID protocols. Going to a restaurant after COVID is hard. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience. We all had the same server and he was absolutely wonderful. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

We stayed at the JW Marriott and made reservations for 8pm. We were seated right when we arrived and were promptly attended to. Our server Chris was very helpful and provided recommendations which were delicious. The food was great but the service was even better, my date and I definitely enjoyed dining here and look forward to returning.

OMG, I was expecting fine dinning but received cheap cafeteria food and atmosphere. So disappointed. I don’t get to downtown very often and was hoping for a bit more of an experience. The food was bland, the wine was bitter, the only thing that was acceptable was the service. The waiter was courteous and responsive. Will never go back.

This was our third visit in a month. Usually JW restaurants are a solid 6/7. Never great, overpriced but predictable and quality. Not this time. The server didn't greet us until after 2 parties seated after us were greeted. The greeting was her and a cleaning bottle wiping our table with a rag. A) covid requires that be done before we sit B) disposable cloths are required... so not drink order, just a second time saying she'll be right with us as she wiped our table. Meanwhile other sections are enjoying the benefits of much better servers. We walked up to the host stand to change tables and she held up a finger to answer a reservation call. We finally spoke to a person in check-in to share our experience. And left to find better.
