Savarino's Bakery Saw someone post it yesterday and had to check it out myself. I'm a huge Golds Deli fan and had to check this one out right down the street. I was in a rush so I didn't get the best pictures but the inside is amazing. Gives old little hats market vibes before they took over the taco shop next door, if you know you know. They have take and bake meals as well as a full line of pastries. The muffaleta pictured here was incredible. I would eat it literally everyday if I could. Extremely fresh peppers, olive salad, and cheeses. Huge portion obviously. Give it a look next time you're in Columbia! The Italian was incredible as well. Everything here truly has such a "refreshing" taste to it, something that severely lacks from most establishments nowadays. read more

We drove into Columbia from Manchester. We're from NY & wanted to check this place out for its Italian specialties . We had the Sicilian porchetta /hot peppers sandwich, the Savarino eggplant/rabe sandwich, & a couple of cannolis for dessert. There are tables outside but it was raining so we ate in the car cause it all smelled so good we would've never made it back to the house! The sandwiches were definitely worth the ride & those cannoli were the best we've had since leaving NY. We took a box of assorted cookies to take home, included lemon drops (wife's favorite). The bakery smells amazing & there are lots of Italian pantry specialties for sale. We can't say enough good things & we will absolutely be back! read more

This restaurant is in such a cute older building. We sat outside on the front patio since the weather was perfect (sunny and 77°). We found out from a local that this location is an up and coming arts district. Across the street is more seating. The market inside is very small and quaint. The young lady at the counter was very polite and helpful. My husband and I ordered sandwich's; he got the muffuletta (did not get a picture, but he said it was very good), and I got the Country Fire (pictured). I knew as soon as I saw "chicken cutlet" and mozzarella, this sandwich was for me. It was very toasty, cheesy, and flavorful. The bomba gave it an extra kick. They have MANY desserts. Tiramisu is my absolute favorite dessert. It was light with a ton of espresso which I loved. The little chocolate was a nice little touch. My husband got the crème brûlée cheesecake with raspberries on top (he ate it before I got a picture). He said it was very creamy.and delicious. Would love to stop and eat here again! read more

My friend & I could not resist popping into Savarino's -- its red brick two-storied exterior was far too interesting to resist. It's a humble little shop inside, but everything on the shelves appeared to be unquestionably authentic. Fresh pasta & sauces, balsamic vinegar, infused olive oils... Shops like these are a rare gem in the states, let alone Middle Tennessee! Originally propelled by curiosity to enter the store and not planning on purchasing anything, the baked goods became a nonnegotiable upon seeing them. We snagged a lobster tail filled with lemon whipped cream & a slice of carrot cake and rushed out to a picnic table to dig in! The lobster tail is the stuff of poems: The pastry was audibly crisp and flakey, and the inside was busting with a lightly citrusy lemon creme -- it tasted like a Spring day; like Easter egg hunting and lawn clippings and chicks hatching. I cannot wait to return and try a sandwich and a freshly filled cannoli! read more

This is a local hidden gem. We love to stop in & grab homemade dinner entree's & salad for quick, delicious dinner on busy nights. We've also purchased a whole cannoli pie recently for a birthday party & it was a huge hit! Their pesto is amazing as well. Very friendly family owned business. read more

I was excited about finding authentic Italian cookies. I wanted to come here and give a 5 star review. I have to say I was disappointed. The coconut macaroons were good, the rainbow cookies were ok, but the raspberry fingers I could not eat. They had an "old grease" taste to them. Maybe it was just a bad batch but they were awful. read more

Savarino's is a hidden gem tucked away on a back road. Honestly I pulled up to this bakery and it didn't even look open or in business. I stopped in and felt like I time traveled to New Jersey which made me feel like I have a piece of home in TN now. They had authentic pastries that most Tennesseans probably have never heard of before. Classic options like Sfogliatella, black and whites, cannolis, rainbow cookies. A lot of good homemade options. They also have frozen meals that have prepped. I'd be curious to see how the sandwiches are as well. If you are from the north east and miss the bakeries back home this may be the only thing close in middle TN. Must try! read more

Yummy Authentic Italian food and pastries. Price is right, only negative is it's in Columbia and we live in Franklin. We wish this little gem was closer to us. But we'll always hit it up when we're in town read more

I love this place! Not only do I love all the products they carry, but they made a special cake for my Austrian exchange student which she said tasted like an authentic black forest cake from Germany! read more

Our friends brought us a chicken Parmesan platter from Savarino's for a meal train - it had 4 large chicken breasts. Could easily feed 4-6 people! It was delicious. The sauce was a little thin/we would have enjoyed even more sauce, but overall the flavor was phenomenal. Such a thoughtful meal. We're excited to go to Savarino's and check it out fully soon! read more

Good selection of bakery and take out food items. Kind of pricy but very good quality. Authentic Italian bakery!

I'd recommend the sandwiches! So delicious. My husband loves this place. He brought home a bunch of sweet treats and pre-made food. He is a loyal customer over a year for sure! I enjoy Palermo sandwich and sfogliatella the most. Coconut macaroon is pretty good too! read more

We stopped into this little shop for lunch and it was DELICIOUS!!!! I would eat there everyday if I lived in town. We split the Ed Pontieri and the Savarino and it was plenty of food for two women. I was a little wary of the eggplant sandwich but oh my gosh was it so good, very unique flavor. The Ed Pontieri was equally as good, I was so excited to see mortadella on the menu and it didn't disappoint!! read more

Authentic, great Italian food! We were pleasantly surprised when we shopped at Savarino's. If you're looking for really good pasta dishes, made to order sandwiches and a great assortment of bakery items, I highly recommend. I bought the chicken Alfredo with homemade pasta and my sister got chicken Parmesan. We bought individual cheesecakes and some of their biscotti assortment. Everything was really good. We will definitely be returning soon! Please note that this is not a sit down restaurant. You can choose dinners from their refrigerator sections to take home and heat up. Or, you can order sandwiches, made to order. Very, very good! read more

Knowledgeable and helpful staff, great selection of food and pastries, and a very warm atmosphere.

This place has a great variety of Italian food and sandwiches. It's a locals secret place. Service was good and plot dessert items.

As a recent resident of Columbia TN, I am always exploring. I found this place on a random day back on 8/24/24. It's in an old building near the Art district in Columbia. I went in and it's small, one room that has pre made meals for you to take home and heat up/family size and single servings. Lots of Italian sweets such as cheesecake, cannoli's, Italian wedding cookies. You can even order italian sandwiches to go. The sell olive oil, cheese, pasta, olives. This place is a dream!! From what I can tell it's family owned and operated. OH! I forgot about the fresh baked bread. They even have my favorite olive bread. I lived in NYC for over 20 years and I miss this so much. So glad they are in Columbia! I will be a frequent flyer. :) read more

Great food, great bakery and wonderful deserts!! We love supporting family owned businesses that do a great job and this is definitely one of them! Love it! read more

This food, I can't even. Best in Columbia if not Tennessee. I never in my life have had a better lasagna. Believe it or not. It was fresh frozen (take home)to boot, lol. Their fresh made pasta is why I went there originally. It was perfect. They have great cheeses as well. We also had their cheese cake and it was absolutely delicious. I mean so good. My favorite! I can't say enough about how great the food is from this place. Service was fine and it was clean. They had a bunch of bakery items I haven't had the pleasure of trying. No worries though I'll be back. PS after getting ripped off with bad food and service by some many other restaurants in Columbia. I'm grateful to have found Savarino's and you will be too. You deserve this food read more
