Awarded 3 Stars "EXCELLENT," by The Bergen Record - 9/23/11. Voted "BEST OF BERGEN 2008" by (201) Magazine - February 2008. Savini is a Sophisticated, Award Winning, Northern Italian/Continental 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, and 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.
"I cannot say one bad thing about the restaurant. Service was friendly and fabulous and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going back again soon."

It was my birthday, and I didn't want a fuss. They honored that, and I was pleased. The staff left my man and me to enjoy a quiet, romantic birthday dinner."

"My family and I moved to town about a year and a half ago. With 2 small children, this was our first chance in months, with grandparents visiting, to go out on a "date". Our first time at Savini. Food, service, ambience excellent. Only thing, which is minor, is that their front entrance leads directly into a small, high-traffic corridor with waiters zipping back and forth. We actually thought we had gone in the wrong door until a hostess asked us for our reservation. Small thing, now that we know, and will definitely return."

"Attentive service, average but solid food, VERY SLOW - not sure if the kitchen was busy or if that's part of the experience, but seemed to take forever"

"Had a wonderful meal with friends. Got a quiet table in the corner, good food and wine. Excellent service. Let us sit and talk, well paced. The bar looked busy and happening. But the dining area was nicely apart from it. Very pretty."

"The atmosphere was inviting and the staff was courteous and extremely attentive - We were celebrating my son's 21st birthday and they really made us feel 'special'. Our food was delicious and they even made the offer of ordering anything we didn't see on the menu as long as the ingredients were in the kitchen! Great place for a special occasion. Will definitely dine there again."

"Every time I go to Savini, I appreciate it more and more! Between the friendly and attentive staff and the delicious food, you can't go wrong. While the menu is Italian, with great escarole soup, eggplant rollatini and pasta, I also loved the grilled salmon with the perfectly seasoned dijon sauce. The staff takes excellent care of my daughter and I, who go often for dinner - order the cannoli & berries for dessert!"

"Excellent service, extensive menu. Can get a little noisy when really busy. A bit pricey if ordering a full course meal (appetizer, entree, desert and wine)."

"Third or fourth time at the restaurant - have always had a good experience. The owner is warm and welcoming and came over to make sure that everything was okay. Service was attentive and not overbearing and the food is always fresh, well prepared and nicely presented."

"The entire dining experience at Savini was excellent. This was one of the best meals we have had locally in quite some time. The John Dory dish from the specials menu was one of the best fish dishes my husband has ever had."

"We were disappointed. For the money spent, we expected more. The service was slow, drink orders were wrong and it took a long time to correct them. Food was good, but still not worth the price."

"The food here was good. My beef carpaccio appetizer was't the best I've every had, but the chicken Savini was excellent and my canoli was both gigantic and delicious. My only major complaint is that while people frequently came to fill our water, our actual waiter took forever to come by so I had to wait a while for a second glass of wine. When we were done with dinner it took quite some time to get the check."

"Food and service was excellent. Was unaware we were going to be seated in Bar area. The table of 8 next to us was EXTREMELY loud. Then I was seated underneath an air duct which blew really hot air on my head forcing me to change seat was not exactly the best experience. This was supposed to be a post-valentine's day dinner ( Saturday after). Next time - I'll be sure to request a different room."

"From start to finish we cannot say one negative thing about Savini. The food and service are exceptional. Highly recommend. We found this gem last year for Valentine's day. It was so nice we were back again this year."

"My husband and I doned at Savini for Valentine's Day, so it was a busy and crowded night at the restaurant. Not entirely a fair night for a new customer to review. That said, restaurant attracts an older crowd - seem to be regulars. Service was very good. The ambiance was lacking though as our table faced the "kitchen runway". The chairs were "back to back" so when the person behind me moved (alot!) I felt every bump. Took me out of the dining experience.
Food need a little more spice - it was good but not outstanding. Dessert ~ fresh cannoli ~ was perfect!"

"Tried this place for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Loved it so much, we decided to make our Valentine's day plans here. Boy, were we not disappointed! Everything was absolutely SPECTACULAR! From the delicious appetizer of homemade fresh mozzarella soaked in Italian extra-virgin olive oil with fresh tomato and avocado, our entrees were both the "Veal Imperial" (our personal favorites - tender slices of veal with fresh lump crab-meat, tomato, and asparagus in a champagne sauce, and unfortunately, we had no room for dessert! The extensive wine list has something for everyone, no matter what your taste (or price range). Of course, the service is TOP-NOTCH! This has now become our favorite restaurant, and we will be back... SOON!!"
