Just an absolutely wonderful experience. We had a cozy table by the fire and the food was delicious! Salads, red snapper, swordfish, and lemon cake--yum! This is the first restaurant I've dined-in at in a year, I miss it so much and I'll be coming back soon.

Savio's has been a perennial winner when it comes to great food, great service and good value. They have adapted well to the pandemic and we felt very safe and had a great birthday celebration dinner for two. All of our food was superb: Caesar salad, bouillabaisse soup, garlic bread, rigatoni carbonara, and lasagna all delicious. Wine was very good as well. Treat yourself to consistently good food and service. Support Savio's and their great employees, they're bending over backward to help us all get through the pandemic with a smile.

Very good quality food and excellent service. They were out of some foods (arugula salad) and some wines (chianti), but there were other selections to choose from. Prices are very reasonable

I usually have Eddie as my go-to server, but I had the pleasure of meeting Larissa, who’s an absolute joy and attentive all around. The food is always fresh, delicious and always leave full and ready for a nap. I also appreciate the intimate and quiet atmosphere.
