What a beautiful restaurant! It's stunning from the inside out with a flower design throughout the establishment. The attention to detail is unmatched. Plush pink seats are just dreamy. Absolutely beautiful. The waitstaff even wears unique uniforms that tie into the decor. It adds to the overall ambiance. Elegant and classy. Let's get into the food. The items ordered were veal risotto, Caesar salad, and pasta with tomato sauce, and the star of the show was the dessert box, which was outstanding! Everything was delicious. There was no detail unnoticed, even the table bread was artistically presented. It was Highly recommend read more

Savini - Veal Osso Bucco with Saffron Risotto Milanese style. - Lounges Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Located inside the amazing Galleria Vitrorio, this gelato/restaurant is just what you need after visiting the Milan Cathedral. Our visit today was just for the gelato side. After a short wait in line we perused the flavors and went with the refreshing flavors of raspberry and lemon as it was 91F in Milan this summer day. Great ambiance and views of the Galleria Vittorio as we enjoyed the refreshing sorbet 5/5. Grazie Mille Savini! read more

My ratatouille and the beef lasagna bowl were amazing!!!!! And at the end of the meal they give you a complimentary dessert box. From the moment we sat down, we had amazing customer service and the view of all the stores and people walking by made it an even greater experience. read more

It's Italian ice cream / gelato. It's almost impossible to leave a bad review! As I walked through the galleria after visiting the Milan Cathedral, it was a hot summers day and my eyes immediately caught sight of a line for ice cream. I bee-lined over the ice cream and even with a line, it moved quickly and everyone was served their ice cream swiftly. A definite must as you peruse the shop displays and architecture within the galleria! I also came back to this spot for dinner. Which ended up being an excellent experience as well! I can't remember if I ordered a la carte or if it was a préfixe menu. I had a glass of white wine with the pate, minestrone soup, and a dessert box. I sat here for at least an hour or two people watching, drinking wine and taking in the experience of the Milan Galleria. What an incredible city and restaurant. read more

4/4/24 - We were on a vacation to celebrate our 75th birthdays. Loved the look of this restaurant and back story told by our guide earlier. It was the original restaurant in the beautiful Galleria Vittorio, which has its own wonderful history. Both the Galleria and the restaurant are elegant! It was well passed lunch by USA norms but not yet the typical time for by European standards. We were offered a choice of several tables. We chose the "indoor patio" so we could continue to people watch. The servers are in elegant brocade jackets and very experienced. Ours offered a wine suggestion which we took. Although it was one of the more expensive we thought it a wonderful accompaniment to our meals. As usual in Europe it was as slow or fast paced as you want. The food was not overly large in quantity, but the presentation and flavors were terrific. We really weren't interested in dessert as we planned to walk a lot more after eating and didn't want to be overly full. Our server brought us a box with tiny desserts and we each had one. We guessed it wasn't free, which it wasn't. However it was the sweetest most unusual ending to a delightful dining experience, especially for our birthday celebration! Although it was one of the most expensive meals we had in Milan, it really was well worth the memory! read more

Best gelato! No day is complete in Milan without gelato & Savini filled the need and how! Tiramisu and fiore di latte were our choices. The milk was super creamy in a good way & the tiramisu was over the top delish and had a nice amaretto undertone Perfect pick me up to an awesome afternoon strolling along the Galleria Vittorio read more

Great location for people watching. Unfortunately the food was just ok. Small portions and wildly overpriced. Service was fine.

Popped in for a drink because it was so hot out! Our bartender (can't remember his name but he had glasses) was so nice and spoke English with us! My dad had 2 beers and I had 2 cosmos and both great! He made sure to keep us hydrated with water between our drinks and was very entertaining to watch him make drinks! I've noticed some bartenders ignore their watchers to look very pro and cool but our bartender was just the best! The inside was very pretty and very classy decor! Definitely stop by! Side note: bathrooms were really nice read more

Savini has been part of the Milan restaurant scene since 1857 (Italy was unified in 1861). Its survival is a testimony to the quality of Savini's food and service. You can certainly get more creative food elsewhere in Milan, but few other restaurants give you a feeling that you are truly experiencing a Milanese tradition. read more

We had better food and service at other restaurants in Milan. Savini is located in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The setting is lovely and it is fun to people watch, but the food and service were both just okay. The servers are dressed in dark suits, creating an atmosphere of sophistication to compliment the setting, but the service is cold. They are going through the motions to serve the tourists. Several items on the menu were not available the night we ate at Savini. Unfortunately, what was unavailable were the most appealing dishes. The dishes we ordered were fine, but not excellent. Savini is conveniently located and is in a lovely setting, but the food and service left a lot to be desired. They weren't poor, but they weren't great. Eh. We can do better. When I return to Milan, I will keep looking for another centrally-located restaurant to enjoy. read more

We only tried the Gelato stand and it was 10/10 the best best gelato I have ever had. We got the Mandarin flavor and it was as if you were biting into the plump fruit. It was truly a flavor explosion. read more

The service was terrible. Disinterested servers. They put pizza on their menu outside for cheap to lure you in and then they always "mysteriously" are out and it's not on their menu. Do not go here! read more

Although at 1st look the restaurant looks nice, in fact it was disappointing for the quality of the food and the service. I stopped by for dinner, I was shown a table in the back of an empty dining room (truly) no one else there while there were available tables outside The host simply refused to sit me outside so I left. But he did me a great favor as just around the corner I found restaurant with good food and friendly staff The nearby hotel where I was staying has an arrangement with the restaurant so the next morning I went back for breakfast. It was an opportunity to confirm that: the wait staff are unfriendly snobs No offer to bring coffee or water, after 20 min the food came out without word from the waiter as to preferences. read more

We were strolling through and around the Galleria area in the middle of the afternoon when we decided to pause for a drink. One restaurant turned us away saying we had to buy lunch; we couldn't just buy drinks. We moved on, found this place, and we were greeted with open arms even though it had a high end appearance and we feared a snooty reaction. The wait staff were impressive. All were dressed in sharp, well fitting dark suits. They looked dapper and acted professionally. We got our drinks. I had a nice Italian version of champagne and my companion had an incredible hot chocolate. It was thick, dark, and rich. I guess Italians don't believe in drinking without eating so suddenly a nice little tray of small bites was on our table. Then Christmas cookies appeared. I'm sorry I can't report on their dishes but we loved the service, atmosphere, and people watching. It was perfect for our purposes - hence 5 stars. I do fear it's a pricy place to eat although most likely fabulous. read more

June 24, 2019 Monday - 12:30 PM for lunch 4 Adults and a teenager Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Morning tour of the Duomo lead us to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Then the group was becaming hangry and the group picked this place. Atmosphere - White linen table clothes cover the tables. Elegant menus and well-dressed staff welcome the tourist crowd. FYI the bathrooms are pass the bar in the down the stairs. Food Drinks - Just water, lots of water. Part of the ongoing theme of this European trip. Lunch - Spaghetti with tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella cheese cream and basil. A very simple dish, with perfectly cooked pasta. The basil could have had a stronger presence. Service - English was not an issue here, the menu was in both languages. Our wait staff was great. Future - I could eat here again. read more

Great location, attentive service and the food was decent. The water was $10 and a 20% Coperta was added, the highest I've seen. The portions were minuscule compared to the price. My suggestion: look elsewhere. read more

The service was horrible they did not have anything on the menu except appetizers and pasta. the rest of the items on the menu were not available The waiter was very unfriendly. We order shrimp on the appetizer menu which was spoiled rotten we did not eat it and sent it back We were surprised to still see it on the bill We ask for the manager who was horrible and refused to take it off the menu The place suppose to be upscale and classy but has nothing to do with that It is very expensive with horrible food and Bad customer service I would avoid it at all cost Hazem Nouraldin, M.D read more

Good grief. So much for the "name" and location. I had the worst ever caprese, and a roasted fish which I could definitely have cooked better at home. Refined service and all, but bland unsurprising food and prices for something much better. Avoid. read more

I just came for the gelato! Another place of Gelato heaven! It's located in the oldest shopping mall, in the world & it's definitely worth the stop. If not to just look @ the delicious gelato mounds but also to taste some. I stuck with my favorite, mango & it was delicious. read more

I will make this short. I have been in many 4 and 5 star restaurants. I have also been in tourist trap restaurants. Savini is a tourist trap restaurant. The service is good. Ambiance is plesant. The food was below par. Mind you if you order typical Italian dishes such as pasta, risotto or veal plates. They are well cooked. But if you order out of their range. The food is poorly prepared. I ordered Foie Gras antipasta. It was a moose. Very dry and tasteless. I ordered breast of duck for the main dish. It was overcooked and also tasteless. It is obvious that Savini does not have a chef on staff. They have 2nd grade cooks on staff. Again, if you visit order only pasta dishes or risotto or veal. read more

Would give 3 stars over all. Service was attentive, for the cost do not think the food was worth it. Expected something better cause of the restaurant location and of course the cost ;) Would recommend this place cause you have a premier seat for people watching and enjoying the moment. Food tasted good but something was missing. read more

So overpriced (main reason for the three stars) Five stars for the: location location location!!! You're sitting in the middle of the Duomo Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II right across the first Prada store ever. If you sit in front you get to people watch a very diverse mix of group of people from all around the world. Items ordered: Ravioli stuffed with crab Tiramisu Cappuccino Coke Water & that equaled 100€ ... Rip off! I did not have a steak. I had 5 pieces of ravioli. Tiramisu was absolutely amazing! It looked amazing and tasted amazing. Definitely was the best tiramisu I tried in my life. Be aware they add a heavy hospitality cover charge for "serving you"... About 20% read more

absolutely embarrassing. came into this restaurant thinking it looked pretty good but don't be deceive by the looks and the bread. they don't like to mix their drinks. everything on the menu is overpriced and I watched my brother eat his his 12 noodle pasta in about 30 seconds. the veal cheek was about $35 for 3 oz of meat. DONT COME HERE. owner should be ashamed of themselves read more

It looked good at first, but I quickly realized how terrible the service is. It wasn't much of a busy night yet the food took around 45 minutes. Very displeased with this restaurant. I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Food is alright but the service sucks. Waiters are so rude and they were almost laughing at the customers. I signaled to some server for help, he just looked at me. Honestly rudest staff I've ever had. All these servers need harsh reality checks. read more

I have been in Europe for the past 2 weeks and this has been our worst meal yet. From the service to the food it was a disaster. After getting seated we waited approximately 2O min at an empty table with no silverware, napkins or water and I eventually had to find a waiter who was incredibly obnoxious. After pulling teeth to get a drink menu I ordered an old fashioned which was whiskey mixed with water and ice and sugar sitting in the bottom of the glass. My wife ordered the Fillet which was fattier than a sirloin and tough as rubber. Overall, please do not eat here!!!! read more

Dined here for lunch during my trip to Milan and Expo 2015, in September of 2015. Was seated immediately, as they were not busy at opening time. The service was impeccable, and the food good. Started with a very good Caesar Salad, followed by seafood ravioli as the main course, which I found a bit salty, but that seems to be the norm for northern Italy. Finished off the meal with vanilla Gelato, which was delicious. This is a pricey restaurant, and I ate here mainly because it is the oldest restaurant in Milan, having opened in 1867. It is a nice relaxing place to dine when visiting the Galleria and the sights of central Milan. read more

If i was just rating on food, I'd probably give this place a three star rating, but when I consider the attrocious service, I'm tempted to give them a one star. The place wasn't even busy and the cocktails we ordered at the beginning of dinner didn't come out till after dinner. I had to ask the waiter three times over a period of 15 minutes to just get our water refilled. In stark contrast, just a few yards away is Biffi Caffe. They were attentive, light hearted and truly made for a memorable dining experience. read more

Loved it!! Impeccable service and great food! Very polite and friendly staff. I don't understand the negative reviews, it doesn't mean you are in Italy that every restaurant should serve Authentic italien food!! We enjoyed it and will come again. As far as the price goes, you pay for good quality food. There are plenty of cheap pizza places, if you want authentic cheap food, get a slice of pizza at a stand!! Thank you Savini! read more

I don't know who had thought this was a good place that deserves any stars... Service was ok but the food is simply a disgrace to Italian cuisine. Be warned and DO NOT COME HERE if you want good Italian food read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. We spent 400 euros for a less than average meal and the service for Americans is horrible. People around us who had tea and spent a fraction of the price were treated well and we were laughed at and the receipts thrown at us. Also, their was a 6 Euro per person cover charge that appeared on our check. We spoke with the manager who seemed indifferent. A disappointing experience all around. read more

Had a cup of latte and my friend had a cup of cafe with Bailey. Complimentary biscuits, mini jam tart. It's decent. Right in the mall area. It's convenient for us to rest our feet after all day of walking. read more

Worst dining experience in Europe. The treatment of local Italians vs tourists is an absolute disgrace. No opening of door, no offering of taking your coat and no greeting of customers. We sat down for a meal, ordered 2 beers and 2 orange juices and some pasta and pizza. As my mum held the orange juice glass in your hand, the glass shattered cutting her hand and orange juice spilt everywhere. The staff slowly walked over to clean up the table and didn't even apologize or show us the way to the bathroom for clean up. To top it off, the bill came - €24 for 2 beers, €24 for 2 orange juices and €24 for 4 cover charges plus the rest. Then another man walked in, 2 staff just stood there and walked the customer open the door himself. The customer stood in the middle for about 1 minute before one of them went over to greet the customer. Just terrible. Oh! The whole time we were eating, there was a large dog barking the whole time by the coffee bar.... read more
