    Rigatoni Della Nonna
    Elizabeth S.

    Well worth the drive! We went to Savia this weekend and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and very authentic. The wait staff were warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself is small, but beautifully decorated. We'll definitely be back.

    Back again last week and brought my mom who is Italian and picky. There was not a drop of food or sauce left on the plates. Everything from bread to tiramisu was sensory delight and absolute perfection. Our server Vinny, who has delighted us before was funny and knowledgeable about wines and suggestions for each of us regarding entrees and sides. Chef David came out to say hello and check on our food. He is always up for a quick convo about culture and food and a talented restauranteur. **** get the gnocchi!!!!

    Rigatoni alla Nonna

    Great new authentic Sicilian restaurant in Boca. Owner chef that knows how to make his customer feel welcome and more importantly cook. many fresh quality imported ingredients from Sicily, simple recipes and lots of delicious flavor. We tried the rigatoni alla nonna and the stuffed sepia(calamari). Both outstanding! The deserts look delicious although I had no room for desert. the place got crowed quick so the word is getting out!

    Saw some write ups on this restaurant on yelp it's new in the area probably three months old so we decided to give it a try and we're really glad we did. It was a Wednesday night which means it wasn't as crowded as when the weekend so we had the restaurant pretty much to ourselves, which was lovely quiet intimate Restaurant like the kind you go to the cafés in Italy when you have family owned businesses this was family owned by the chef. We had the chicken Parmesan, which was the largest piece I've seen in a long time came with a side of pasta delicious also the swordfish pasta, which was delicious Tomato salad with onions, which we all enjoyed very much Bronzino with some seafood, ricotta, cheesecake, and berries, and cream and a bottle of wine. It was a lovely evening. They have a TV screen one where you can watch Sicily go by as you're eating dinner parking is in a parking lot. They have a few outdoor tables the waitress Sophia was lovely. She was a good waitress. She was efficient. She was knowledgeable. The owner and chef David came over to the table. Making sure that we were all happy. This is a place that's going to be very hard to get in as soon as this word gets out so make your reservations and enjoy dinner as good as it gets in the United States and taste just like you're in Sicily

    BEST DATE SPOT IN BOCA!!! What a charming, cozy, warm space!!! We had the arancini, octopus, and gnocchi to start... WOW. The arancini is the best arancini I've had in my life. The octopus was the most flavorful I've ever had with the BEST texture. Was not rubbery at all. The gnocchi was INSANE! So much flavor in the sauce. Not to mention; chef David... please let us buy the olive oil and red pepper off of you - it's to die for. To finish, we had the tiramisu. We inhaled it in maybe 5 seconds or less. It was SO good. Then we decided, let's try the cannoli. Another dessert gone in under 10 seconds guys PLEASE! This is the most underrated spot in Boca. Food is fresh, authentic. Vinny is an amazing waiter too. We appreciated his honesty and great attention. Can't wait to come back again soon (but chef David, really, please start selling cans or bottles of your olive oil and the red pepper flakes, you have a great market there )

    Family of 7 dined for the first time, out of this world food. Very nice and endearing owner & staff. Food was delicious. Everything we ordered was exceptional. Cheesecake outstanding!!!

    We had the pleasure of dining at Savia a few months ago when my parents and brother were visiting, and I've been meaning to leave this review ever since. My dad is from Sicily, and meeting David - the owner and chef - felt like being welcomed by family. He made us feel completely at home with his warm hospitality. Every dish at our table was absolutely delicious, and you can truly taste the passion and authenticity in every bite. Savia is a hidden gem and a must-visit if you're looking for an unforgettable Italian meal in Boca. Thank you, David!

    Tiramisu, Cassata and Cannoli

    Savia: Rational, Intelligent. The ambience of the restaurant is very picturesque (sicilian peppered ) with photographs of sicilian architecture of David Vito's hometown Catania. David Vito personally greeted us after we were seated and gave us a passionate insight into his hometown and the way meals come together with fresh ingredients and marvelous wine. APPETIZER: I have so many good things to say about the caponata siciliana... peppers are not really a "dish" I usually look forward to SPECIALLY if they are not thin and small yet at David's you will not be able to get enough of this dish he's mastered by making the peppers so sweet, juicy and soft. They melt in your mouth right away and blend perfectly with the capers and olive oil toast that comes with the dish which could really be optional because it really does not need it you will not want to stop eating them and you will also not want the dish to end, truly a 100/10 kind of appetizer that will not leave you feeling like you've eaten too much but instead prepare your stomach for the wonderful flavors you will experience in an evening at Savia's. ENTREE: We had two pastas Rigatoni allá Nonna Graziella and the linguine capo mulini which are served to you scalding hot (this is a compliment and the best moment to eat the pasta, please be respectful of the chef and the love he puts into the food) which will melt in your mouth beyond explanation. I would like to highlight that David's Rigatoni brought tears of joy to my eyes, a bittersweet moment was unlocked for a good 5 minutes from the distant memory of my deceased mother whose flavor I found within this incredible Rigatoni Alla Nonna Graziella, thank you David for allowing me to live this moment in time that made this evening the more special. The rigatoni is just at the perfect point of al dente with the meatballs being absolutely delightful, the flavors that come together in this dish are truly special. The Linguine Capo Mulini is also a dish that MUST be ordered be it to share or just for yourself (no judgement) as even the seafood is brought from Italy, actually everything you will be eating in the restaurant has been carefully curated by David and brought from the beautiful Sicily, the pasta has a very lovely accentuated oregano and olive oil flavor that makes this dish an adventure on the first bite, please do try it. The Red snapper ( it is usually a grouper but the dish is very popular and he was out of this fish so he recommended the red snapper DID NOT DISAPPOINT) in orange sauce was FANTASTIC, my boyfriend does not eat fish and some how ended up eating more of this dish than me as I took every bite slowly because it was beyond what words can describe, so freshhhhhhh and NOT fishy at all, biting into it was a very beautiful feeling and the sauce made us want to forget table manners and lick the plate (we did manage to remain in control so we did not lick the plate but I would not judge if I ever saw someone doing so) the sauce is based off oranges but somehow the zest is not overpowering specially with the fish. To finish this beautiful perfect evening David allowed us to delight ourselves in his Cassata (Sicilia Ricotta Cheesecake) and I will confess I took a second one home as I truly needed some privacy with this dessert as well as the Pistachio Cannoli because it was like the God's were in that kitchen, the flavors were all coming together so good, wave after wave of just amazingness. I am personally not a huge fan of Tiramisu but I did find myself looking for more after it was done and my boyfriend suggested we went back to get more, the restaurant was closed so we will be ordering all three desserts next time and enjoying them even more. Savia is a true slice of Sicily in Boca Raton that will transport you to a beautiful lunch on a sunny day waterfront with good friends and even better food. The atmosphere is very romantic yet family friendly with David making sure to greet all of his guests as he is not treating anyone like a client, very personal experience that I highly recommend for lover and families as well. David: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Thank you!!!!! May your hands be blessed beyond expression always and may you continue to have the ability of touching hearts with your food, a truly special Sicilian love story is what I found within all of your dishes. We will be back VERY soon. Till next time!

The pizza crust had good char and the crust had good taste. Thickness was about right. Ratio of cheese and tomato sauce was right. The last bite of the pizza that I had was as good as the first.

The weather was perfect, and they had a beautiful table set for us. They even sprinkled "Happy Birthday" decorations on the table, which was such a thoughtful touch! We started with drinks (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc for me, Grey Goose martini for my husband). Service was a bit slow at first--drinks and bread took a while--but honestly, we didn't mind much since we were just enjoying being together. For food, we had the Caesar salad with anchovies and croutons on the side (really good), Chicken Peter, lobster ravioli (delicious), and penne alla vodka. Everything was flavorful, and the portions were just right for sharing. For dessert, they asked what I wanted and my family ordered cheesecake. It came out with a big sparkler and they sang Happy Birthday, which I absolutely loved--such a fun and festive moment! The only small downside was that the dessert isn't complimentary, which felt a little unusual for a birthday celebration, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side, but perfect for special occasions. I'd happily come back again to celebrate! And don't forget they have complimentary valet parking, so all you need is a tip!
