    Not far from the Roundout Creek, Savona's Trattoria is definitely not your mom & pop, quaint place down by the dockside. Although it looks cozy on the outside, not long after you come in, Savona's feels more modernish without having that old school, homey feel. In some ways, our visit on a Friday night, reminded me when my husband and I went to Monroe College's Culinary School+Rest't, The Dining Lab where students serve you. Oh wait... that service at that culinary school, was actually a lot better than here. We're not even sure if we came during high school night(no offense) because the majority of the floor people.... I mean kids, were uninterested. One busboy doubled as a waiter, was so out of touch with proper handling of knives, that I had to teach him how to properly hand over a knife to someone with the handle facing the patron. Our server Aisha(?) was MIA the majority of the time and it was upsetting. Our salad starters were fabulous- especially mine with grilled Bosch pears and fresh figs. My limoncello+basil+prosecco drink was a major loss and was basically lemon water. But, our main plates of shrimp scampi and hubs' chicken franchese, were each tasty with a sublime butter+ lemon sauce. We could drink the sauce just like that. Interesting night for sure. The original 'Volare' played (I only know because I heard the first few beats)- but with all the talking here and LOUD- it was just too much to bear. We're not sure if this happens every time- but we probably picked the loudest night because we couldn't hear ourselves talk. While Savona's isn't within earshot, the less than 25 minute drive to get to this side of Kingston, isn't bad at all. The last several times we've dined at restaurants nearby, Savona's seems to be buzzing. The atmosphere is certainly lively, Kudos to Savona's for offering fresh and delicious food- but someone needs to seriously help these waiters. If you're looking for an old school Italian restaurant where you're treated like family and attentive service, this won't be your bag,

    Pineapple Upside Down Martini
    Mary T.

    We just came off the boat without reservations but they were able to accommodate our merry little group. To start, the breadsticks are amazing covered in a pesto type oil and our drinks were great. We tried the pineapple upside down martini and it was well balanced. We purposely didn't order appetizers because we wanted to have dessert! I got the spicy vodka chicken Parmesan and it was out of this world. It had thin layers of cherry peppers between the chicken and the sauce/cheese and it just set that vodka sauce above all sauces. Two large pieces of chicken (not too thin thank God) covered in yummy cherry peppers and yummy vodka sauce. LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!! The rigatoni was cooked perfectly al dente. This meal was such a pleasure to eat. Everyone loved their meals and they all looked delicious and beautifully presented. I tried some of the meatballs and they were great too. Really large and moist. We made it to dessert for the first time in a long time and hubby and I shared the chocolate lava cake. It was my bff's birthday so she chose the tiramisu. The desserts were also delicious. I wish I remembered to take pictures! We left full and happy. It was a wonderful end to our special day out on the boat. I highly recommend it.

    Fig and Gorgonzola Pizza - no bacon and gf crust
    Keri C.

    Came in early this Saturday and we're immediately seated. Staff were friendly and immediately greeted us. We ordered two glasses of wine which arrived promptly with a basket of bread. Once we ordered meals, the waiter kindly asked if my gf pizza was an allergy, to which I replied yes. Upon this new information, he immediately brought out some gluten free bread, which hardly ever happens! I ordered the fig & Gorgonzola pizza with no bacon and on a gluten free crust. My husband ordered Nona's Famous Sunday Sauce. Everything was delicious! We usually don't order dessert, however, everything was so great I needed to at least try a late and some gelato. The lemon gelato had tiny slices of lemons in it and had the perfect amount of sour to it. I would definitely recommend to anyone, especially for those looking for gf options.

    Breadsticks
    Priyank R.

    Food was absolutely amazing at Savona's. First time here, we tried their Margherita pizza, Lobster ravioli, Chicken Parm, and Rigatoni. All were really favorful highly recommend checking them out Nice ambience, with classical lights Service was very nice as well.

    Carbonara, side salad and breadsticks
    Katie W.

    We ordered takeout this evening and it never disappoints. The food was ready in about 20 minutes- it was waiting for us when we arrived. The carbonara is delicious- I got it with gluten free pasta. I also got a side salad with house dressing. I can't eat the delicious breadsticks anymore but they used to be one of my favorite foods. We only stopped in to pick up our food- it was quiet since we picked up early on a Monday. It also looked clean and inviting

However, if you can look past that, or even see it as part of the charm, you will love this place! The fresh pasta is unlikely any other in the area. The portions are HUGE!

While it's on the pricier side, for the ingredients and freshness I'd say it's very very fair. The waitress was an angel, offering dessert and a happy birthday song to our table.

Everything was so rich and decadent and a little on the sweeter side - which was just too much for me even on an empty stomach. You will def be bringing leftovers home ! I would coke again and try different dishes and dessert. Btw - all their pasta is homemade too!

We chose this because we thought they had a ton of holiday decor, however was mistaken; it's just an old school bar that serves Italian food. Service was very attentive and friendly. In general, everyone in there was chill and happy which is always a good sign. Ordered a few negronis which were all well made. We got the eggplant rollatini, fried calamari and house salad to start. They really don't skimp on the portions. Calamari included tentacles which I didn't expect from this kind of place; it was fresh and pretty much as good as it gets, especially upstate. Eggplant rollatini was well made and showcased their really good sauce. House salad is loaded up with cheese (parmigiana and gorgonzola) however I mean that in the best way; it eats like a Caesar, and it's a massive portion. Got the penne ala vodka with chicken cutlet for my main although I was tempted by the bolognese special. It was damned good. Vodka sauce was fantastic, and chicken cutlet was plentiful and on the well done side. I think I got 3 meals out of this and I'm not a small dude. Great meal all around and the perfect cap to our day. I don't make it to Kingston much however I would come here whenever nearby. Vibe is great and the food is better. Never a bad thing to have another reliable Italian place around!

Then the owner Stephanie came over and said we will not turn on the air. And was rude! Then said to cone into the kitchen.

She then saluted the flag and said bye. Wow how rude how unprofessional. And talk about not caring about your customers. And what about your staff that's running around like they're crazy and they're sweating. She doesn't have to worry about me ever coming there again. There are many more restaurants in the area. In fact when we left there and went somewhere else as soon as we walked in, there was air-conditioning on. And when I commented to the manager, she said you have to keep your customer and your staff comfortable. She's 100% right. I guess at Renato's the customers don't matter shame on them.
