Nice cozy interior, friendly staff and dishes we ordered were fresh and tasted great. Sauces were not heavy and big size portions.

This is an elegant restaurant. Both the service and cuisine are impeccable. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately average food, leaving much to be desired. At first glance this place gives a great impression.- beautiful both outside and inside, classy, upscale ambiance, fancy fine dining (supposedly) in the heart of Bergen county. I came here for dinner because I was desperately looking for a restaurant with a private party room to host my wedding rehearsal dinner. That being said, I was eager to like the food. The service was impeccable and the drinks from the bar were delicious, but as our food started to come out I became more and more disappointed. The food here lacks flavor and presentation and just doesn't measure up to the image of the restaurant or the prices on the menu. I found myself looking around at the other tables wondering what everyone was so excited about. I know many people who enjoy coming here, and possibly even like the food, but sadly I am not one of them. I think there are better restaurants in the area and that people with more refined palates would be better suited to spend their money elsewhere. read more

First off, make your reservation for inside. There aren't heaters and if there were they need more - it ruined the initial excitement of being there. BUUUUT the food was amazing and just for that I'd be back and the cold was (sort or) worth it. The mozz prosciutto & pepper app, the calamari & clams were amazing. I had a pasta special which was just as amazing and their red sauce is phenomenal! read more

Savini Restaurant - Homemade Orecchiette with Crab & Shrimp - Italian Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

This is my go to place for dinner, lunch on the weekends, and all of my special occasions. We enjoy holidays there, I just had my daughters baby shower there, and we have held the gamut of occasions at Savini. They are also very nice and expert at firing all the meals at once so everyone has their meal at the same time. My favorite place in Bergen County. read more

Service is exceptional and food is delicious. Anything that surf and turf is out of this world!

Excellent service, staff - especially manager Salih was great - ambience, foods, and drinks. They make my guest and myself feel special during our dinner. Would definitely recommend read more

Wonderful girls lunch at Savini last week. We dined inside. Tables well spaced, temp taken at door, staff masked. Started with west coast oysters, think they were called Kusshi from Vancouver which were delicious. Mom and I had salmon dijon, sis had quinoa tower with avocado and crab. So yummy, no leftovers to take home. Split a piece of limoncello cake. Very light, not too sweet, just right. Mentioned it was sis's b'day to our waiter and he also brought a slice of gelato with candle. So nice. The lovely atmosphere, friendly service, and outstanding food made our day so special. read more

food is excellent and the ambience is very pleasant,they also have good service I never had a bad meal

Pick anything off the menu and it's fabulous. My normal order is chopped salad as appetizer with salmon Dijon as entree. Both classics Simple and but done perfectly. While the chefs deserve all credit in the world for food my bartender/server deserves to be recognized. Oksana is amazing. I'm by no means a regular, maybe every other month but she knows my name and greets me as though I'm there daily. Knows my normal order and for those that love going out for nice meals... it's nice to be remembered. This visit I asked for an espresso martini and I have to say it was the best I've ever had. I'm serious... the best ever! If this is your after dinner treat, do it. If you've never had one and she's bartending, do it. Oksana thank you for being an amazing part of my dining here at Savini. read more

Savini Restaurant - Espresso Martini. All bartenders sound learn to make it this amazing. - Italian Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

Small Italian restaurant in Allendale, NJ. Food is outrageous. Went with another couple and we all felt the same. Price was on the high side but afterwards we all felt it was appropriate. The dishes are not the normal you would encounter at a typical Italian restaurant buit was more elegant. The flavor was enticing and you wanted more. Many seafood dishes but mostly pastas. Come early since it gets packed in a short time. read more

We had an anniversary dinner at Savini's under their outdoor tent. They have their outdoor set up well organized. The food and service were terrific! We had the risotto and veal forresterie... both cooked perfectly and delicious. We ended with the house made creme brûlée (also delicious). Can't wait to come back! read more

Good quality Italian food and great service. A neighborhood gem. Great place for families

You can't go wrong eating at Savini's! The atmosphere is great and the staff is very welcoming & accommodating. I have tried numerous pastas, and loved my meal each time! Eating as Savini's is a great experience! read more

Very welcoming and professional. Excellent food with a large selection. Great attention to hygiene and covid precautions but still had a great ambience. Full bar. They were very open to customizing our order and accommodating every request. They made a small mistake with our order and then profusely apologized, made up for it immediately, and brought us a salad on the house. Lobster tails were very well cooked. Scallops as well. Spicy marinara sauce was great. The dressing on the beet salad was fantastic. Will definitely return. read more

Savini Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

Fine dining. Perfect for celebrating. Party of two or ten enjoy the memories!!!! Elaborate menu for those of you with exquisite tastes.

Party of (4) for New Years Eve. Menu for this evening was not available on the Website but I was able to get some details with a phone call when making our reservations for 9 PM seating. Very limited entree choices with child size portions and adult prices. Several of us ordered the Surf & Turf which consisted of one (6) oz tail and a tiny piece of filet. One of party said to our server "this must have come from a very small cow". Desert was limited to only (2) choices with no substitutions. Very disappointed. Diane read more

It was very average food and much more to be desired. It was very salty and made me thirsty for the rest of the night. He appetizer size of the pasta dishes aren't too much from the entree size so just get the appetizer size. I just think you can find much better and cheaper pasta anywhere in bergen county. read more

Great for events, which has been made apparent by the busses full of people who come here to eat. You'll find all the dishes you'd find at most Italian restaurants in the US, but inside a space that feels very unique (a house converted into a restaurant). read more

I'm a hospitality musician with 25years experience in all levels of fine dining. The reputation for great food here goes with out question. When doing considering this venue for a private event it all comes down to Tony. Some front of house guys simply bring an energy to an event that makes it special. My sister had my nieces Baptism here and Tony really made the evening. It's that old school real Italian charm that makes everyone feel at home and not just in a restaurant. It's north Jersey. A great sauce only gets you so far. Although the sauce IS great. Side note Stuffed mushrooms are a must. read more

Valet service, pretty atmosphere, white tablecloths, nice fireplace (ask to be seated by the fireplace in the end room), and a perfect example of old fashioned good service and delicious food. Waiters are trained to deliver excellent service and anticipate your dining needs. Unusual in time of Covid! We have noticed a few glitches lately, but hope they are straightened out fast. The food is very good- but expect to pay absolute top dollar for it. Recent dinner for two with two wines, 2 clams oreganata (perfectly done- not mushy!), two tender well prepared veals with side dish of spaghetti and shared dessert was over $220. I understand the cost of food is sky high, but brace yourself. Still for a relaxing, delicious dinner (or lunch) I highly recommend Savinis. This is our go to place for a wonderful experience. Always busy at peak times- if you are worried about Covid- go off peak. Also, during the summer they had a huge tent which was pretty decent. We shall see if they bring it back. read more

Nice venue with a beautiful tent set up for those who prefer outdoor dining at this time. Only problem is that there are no heaters or walls, so it can and did get somewhat chilly. Service was excellent. Food was very good but in the case of the double chop veal porterhouse it was described as coming with onions, green peppers and potatoes. That's fine, but the dish actually had a very spicy sauce which was not in the description and is an important factor in choosing a dish. Nonetheless it was delicious. Wife loved the Milanese dish but the portion was smaller than normal. Gelato dessert was excellent, but $10.50? Really? read more

Fancy pants Italian. I seriously expected to see a Real Housewife of New Jersey here...since it's their area of the Jerz and all the restaurants they show on the show seem to be on the classy fancy side like this place. BF's dad made reservations for a group of 6 at 5:45pm on a Saturday. When we got there it was relatively empty but within 20 minutes that place was hopping - and they had led us upstairs to the separate dining room too. Because we were celebrating both BF's birthday and his dad's birthday they customized the specials sheets in our menus with "Happy Birthday Richard and Rich" which I thought was adorable. The timing between courses seemed to be a bit slow but we were in no particular rush, so that didn't really bother anyone. Everything we had was delicious, from the bread, cheese and olives, to the seafood salad I split with BF, to our entrees (Veal parm, veal milanese, the duck, lamb shank and salmon) and dessert. The only thing I was upset about (which has nothing to do with the restaurant) is that my stomach had been off all day so I couldn't finish my dessert which was tiramisu. I was doubly pissed about that because a.) I hadn't had tiramisu in AGES and b.) this was really good tiramisu. I really don't get the point of mandatory valet with their massive parking lot but whatever... I tried tipping the kid when we left but he ran off to get another car before I could pull out the cash... read more

Sea Scallops was good. Nice location, valet parking it's very good. I Recommend this restaurant

Good food, friendly attentive service. Ambiance is quite nice. Can't go wrong with this fine restaurant

Attended a funeral after party at this establishment and what an amazing time. The first course pasta was a delight, they specially made a gluten free course just for me. The salad - heavy on the garlic; extremely heavy. The salmon, a little bland but what more can you ask for a reception style piece of fish? The mashed potatoes seemed like they came from a box but they were delicious anyway. The only thing that bugged me, is where are the lady servers? No females working at this place at all comes off as a touch sexist and actually kind of boring. It's nice to have a pretty lady waiting tables along with all the masculinity. The bus boy didn't understand my English so that was a little frustrating. I needed 3 servers before I could get the correct glass of wine, in which I already had one of, so you think they'd get it right the second time around. Overall a good experience but I suggest to the restaurant owner to allow so lovely ladies to work with the males! read more

This is our second time here and both times the most amazing service, FOOD is incredible!!! We ordered 3 apps- cappiline, fettuccine with shaved black truffles- to DIE for!!!!! And oyster Rockefeller- another home Run!! I had seafood Genevise- off the charts amazing- my husband had the veal chop and asparagus on the side- this was so delicious- I'm going to order it next time. Sherry our hostess was warm and friendly- she came over after we got our drinks to "check on us" This is one of the top restaurants in Bergen county but has the vibe of being at an old school Italian Rat Pack place. LOL! My husband is big researcher and yelper- we strongly recommend you try this place!! Between the amazing food and impeccable service that is hard to come by these days - it delivers an Amazing dining experience!!!! read more

Excellent Food. Good service. Comfortable atmosphere. Pasta is fresh and oh so good! Drinks are amazing. Nice bar atmosphere. Never have a bad time at Savini's! read more

Went here for a work dinner. They put us in a nice private room upstairs. The service was top notch - just excellent. Very attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious. Great spot to go for dinner or drinks. I'll definitely be back. read more

6 hours ago NEW Rudest and least attentive bartenders I've ever experienced Paid zero attention to us. Felt like they were doing US a favor by taking our order while they were performing other tasks. We walked in as one bartender asked us to sit on one side of the empty bar while moments later another asked us to move to the opposite end of the empty bar. I thought that was odd but we played along We finally ordered a couple drinks and had resistance when simply asking for a food menu We did get to finally order food and after completing the apps, the two bartenders Left dirty dishes sitting in front of us for what seemed forever even though the bar had only one other patron. At one point, the bartender Assumed we wanted another drink before asking us. At which point I rejected the drink I witnessed both bartenders Cleaning shelves with filthy hands while at the same time making drinks. YUK!!! Very very odd experience. Will never go back and I suggest you do the same! read more

Impeccable service, great ambiance and great food. Made a reservation on Open Table and noted that it was for an anniversary dinner; hostess called me that afternoon and asked for my wife's name. When we arrived our table had personalized menus for us. It was a nice touch that showed an attention to detail we greatly appreciated. On top of the wonderful service the food was outstanding. Highly recommended. read more

Dangerously indifferent to allergies. Two days ago, we went straight from Savini to the ER in Ridgewood. We explained a dairy allergy in depth to the waiter who recklessly insisted that Savini was well aware of how to handle allergies. Obviously he was wrong. I called the restaurant to tell them to repair their unsafe practices. One person expressed surprise but I never received a call back from the manager. As in, yes the manager couldn't bother to take my call in the first place. This is the attitude you will experience here. read more

We've been there a few times and always found it satisfactory if not outstanding. The atmosphere and service is the main attraction for us. We decided to visit for a Valentine's Day lunch. The bloody Mary's were rather thin and watery and probably made from a mix. A good bloody should have some "body" to it by using some Sacramento or true tomato juice. Their's was a bit disappointing. My wife had an eggplant and pasta dish which she enjoyed. I ordered the NY Strip Steak Sandwich for $31. The steak sandwiches I've always enjoyed were aged thin steak slices placed upon slightly toasted toast points with drawn butter sauce drizzled over. The taste of a bit of juice and buttery toast combined with the steak is the makings of a steak sandwich. However my steak sandwich came with fairly thick slices of grizzly steak plopped on top of the lower half of a hoagie roll. It was impossible to cut through the hard crust of the hoagie roll so there was no mingling of the savory toast with the beef. I was actually just eating a grizzly steak cut into thick slices. I ordered it medium but it came rare and purple in the middle. However, the coffee, cheesecake, and service was fine. read more

Brought my parents here for their wedding anniversary! Called them ahead of time for the reservation and mentioned the occasion - they were prepared with a custom menu when we got there. The food tasted amazing! I'm not the type to really enjoy fish - to me it can be a little dry and I am not a huge fan of that. But, my mom did order and enjoy a dish that was centered around either sea bass or flounder and it was amazing! Quick service in a very intimate atmosphere. read more

It was pretty good after all. The service are great, food are great. Love the peanut butter chocolate ice cream, it was very unique taste, must have. Parking is little bit crazy, especially in the rainy cold weather, you have to stay in line to wait for your car, which is not very pleasent. read more
