We decided to park on the street instead of using the complimentary valet parking at $2/hour…read more We were seated immediately. Our waiter was great. The bread, focaccia, and bruschetta especially the bruschetta was wonderful. Wish we could buy tomatoes like that. The fried calamari was tender and fried perfectly. The accompanying sauce although a little spicy was perfect. My wife said the frutti de mare she ordered was very good. The chicken parm I ordered was the best I have had in many years. I order it often, and am often disappointed. Not true here. It was excellent. The tiramamsu for dessert didn't disappoint. All in all, this was a 10 out of 10. A rating I have not been able to assign to a restaurant very often.

Phenomenal birthday celebration thanks to Tony! We came here…read moreto celebrate a birthday, and it was an absolutely perfect evening from start to finish EXCEPT for the restaurant manager that was at front of the restaurant with the hostess they were both NOT welcoming at all this is why I am not giving them a 5 stars review. The food was excellent--truly authentic, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. You can taste the quality in every dish. Beyond the incredible food, the ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful, strikes the perfect balance of cozy and upscale. What really took the night to the next level, though, was our server, Tony. He was hands-down the best! Tony went above and beyond to make the birthday celebration feel incredibly special, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Make sure you save room for dessert because the strawberry shortcake is absolutely to die for, and the after dinner cookies were the perfect sweet finish. However as mentioned the restaurant manager and hostess need a refresher training in hospitality and customer service.

I had the pleasure of eating at Savia last night, and I think I may have found my new favorite…read morerestaurant in all of Boca Raton. Savia has a true sense of artisanship and a genuine love of food, service, and hospitality that you feel immediately. When the chef and owner, David, realized it was our first time, he came over to welcome us and spoke about his passion for food and his Sicilian heritage. Throughout the evening, both he and his wife moved around the dining room, checking on tables and making people feel genuinely cared for. And then the magic began. We started with the caponata and fritto misto, both fantastic. The vegetables, shrimp, and calamari in the fritto misto were lightly fried and perfectly crisp. For my main course, I had the sole, which was beautifully prepared. My mother's chicken Milanese was absolutely delicious, and the tomato sauce on my father's pasta was some of the best I have ever tasted. Every dish felt thoughtful, refined, and beautifully executed. We chatted with Chef David again on our way out, which felt like the perfect ending to the evening. Savia is more than a restaurant. It has that increasingly rare feeling of being welcomed into someone's home. I will absolutely be back, and if I lived in Boca full time, I would undoubtedly become a regular. Bravo, Savia! You have perfected the art of food, service, and hospitality.

What a great find in Boca's Meizner Park!…read more Sicilian (Eastern) food as authentic as you'd find in the streets of Sicily. Arancini as delectable and flavorful as I've ever tasted. And ossobuco that had 48 hours of preparation time before it was perfect. Our group sampled 2 appetizers, 4 entrees and 3 desserts, all of which were prepared expertly from the best ingredients, and we left nothing on the plates. Deliciously prepared authentic food of this quality is a thrill for me and my foodie friends. My suggestion: get there soon! Chef David will be your new food hero after one visit! Perfectly prepared food served with pride and joy in a comfortable and welcoming environment with lots of personal attention. There are not enough stars to indicate my rating for this wonderful gem! I'm not an employee or personal friend, just someone who really thinks Savia is an outstanding restaurant! My recommendation: go soon and go often! Sadly, I have no pictures. Next time!

My wife and I recently visited Matteo's with three other couples. Having been frequent patrons of…read morethe Long Island locations, we were excited to try it. While the food was generally good--my veal chop from the prix fixe menu was flavorful, though slightly dry--other dishes were, unfortunately, just average. What truly undermined the evening, however, was the service. Throughout the night, several guests struggled with repeatedly unfilled water glasses and had to ask multiple times for basic items. Our waitress hardly checked in until the end of the meal, with minimal follow-up during dinner. The situation escalated when, after paying, our waitress, Haley B, approached the table in a confrontational manner, questioning me directly--three separate times--about the tip, in front of the entire group. Gratuity should reflect the quality of both service and overall experience; being pressured for a higher tip despite the lack of attention was entirely out of line. To make matters worse, my follow-up call to management was equally disappointing. The response was all talk, no action. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism left a lasting negative impression.

Nice ambiance and efficient servers in this classy restaurant…read more Eggplant starter was tasty and a huge portion. The fried calamari and shrimp was perfectly fried and you could tell the oil was fresh. The lamb chops were described as melting in the mouth delicious. The chicken parm was juicy and tasty. The seafood pasta was incredible and the enormous shrimp on top was a really nice touch. The veal Milanese was horrible a dry board with dry salad and dry shaved cheese dumped on top. I still give it 5 stars because 5 out of 6 dishes were really great.. An owner spent time chatting to us and made the evening and we enjoyed her stories. Highly recommended just skip the veal.

A Taste of Italy Right in the Heart of the City!…read more If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than Piccolino!

The rustic décor, the soft hum of Italian music in the background, and the mouthwatering aroma wafting from the kitchen set the perfect stage for an unforgettable meal. What really sets Piccolino apart is not just the food, but the level of service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu, offering great wine pairings and ensuring you feel like part of the family.

He made you feel like you've been friends for the past 20 years. Whether you're a regular or a first-time guest, you'll leave feeling satisfied and already planning your next visit. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving a true taste of Italy!

True Italian feel. We were impressed with our server, Evan, and the owner stopping in to check on our meal. We had the Veal chop, which was outstanding with roasted brocolli and potatoes, and the special - gnochi with porcini mushrooms - from Italy. Both so good - and not a drop left. We also ordered the soup of the day - pasta fagiole. We finished every drop. The service was terrific, and the ambiance just right. We will be back!

The main waiter was very helpful and he suggested not to get two different salads, as he was right. The single chopped salad fed both me and my wife plus some to take home. I challenge anyone to try and leave this place without taking anything home. The live music was fantastic, at first I thought it was just house music and realized it was a very talented musician. I will be coming back next month, when I return to Palm Beach in September, and bringing a friend with me. This is one of my new favorite spots

It's where we take clients, friends, and family, because you can always count on excellent service and exceptional food. The restaurant is large, but its charm is in its elegant yet intimate setting. I especially like the tables in the back, which are a little quieter. And if you're looking for something a bit more casual, the bar area is always a great choice. As for the food... I can honestly say that everything on the menu is exceptional. I once had a snapper special served piccante style that was absolutely out of this world. Avery and I had a lovely dinner Saturday night. We started with the Sausage and Peppers - real homemade Italian sausages that are a little sweet and spicy, with every bite bursting with flavor. Then we shared the grilled seafood appetizer, one of the evening's specials, and it definitely lived up to the "special" part! Then came my favorite ...the Chicken Parm and, of course, we had to share a cannoli for dessert. There was so much food left over that they wrapped everything up for us, so we get to enjoy it all over again! Still one of my favorite restaurants in Boca, and after all these years, it never gets old and it truly never disappoints.
