    Outdoor Cafe Style seating
    Jim P.

    We stopped for lunch at Savona's and ate outside on an overcast but beautiful day. I had a Savona's Old Fashioned, which was made to perfection. Very delicious. On Thursday's they do $1 raw oysters, so I had to try those. The oysters were very fresh and tasted great. They were served with lemon, cocktail sauce and mignonette. I opted for the mignonette, which was even better than I've had in Newport, RI. The meatball parmigiana was excellent. This was served in semolina italian bread. The bread was perfection, with a crunchy crust and soft interior. The Caesar salad was a touch overdressed, but that is just a personal preference. It still tasted great, just a bit too wet. The Salmon BLT was also very tasty, but a little scarce on the Salmon meat. A suggestion would be to charge a little more, and bump up the amount of Salmon on this sandwich. Our server Jerry was great. Very attentive and polite. There was a small issue with the order, which he quickly addressed.

    I enjoyed this spot. I came here for brunch on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded at all. The sever was very friendly and attentive. I got the artichoke Benedict and it was great! The restaurant itself is cute and cozy. They had guitarists playing, which added to the atmosphere.

    The outside seating was lovely with beautiful flowers and nice seating. We chose to eat inside just to be out of the sun for awhile. We were seated with menus and our server came over very quickly. She took our drink order and appetizer order and we needed a few more minutes to decide on our meals. The bar was beautiful and so was the interior, with very comfortable chairs and fresh flowers on the tables. We split an appetizer of eggplant stacked with tomatoes and mozzarella with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. We had it cold but it also can be served warm. It was delicious, but next time I think I'd prefer the eggplant warm. I had an eggplant rollatini with spinach ricotta cheese and penne. The homemade sauce was beautifully seasoned, the pasta was all dente and the layers of thin eggplant with spinach and ricotta was excellent. (The rollatini was layered not rolled). My friend ordered a wood fired pizza loaded with pepperoni, ricotta and hot honey. This is a new taste for her and she loved it. The bread was like open garlic knots..it was crispy on the outside soft and pillowy inside soaking up beautiful garlic butter. Service was perfect, and food came out in a timely manner... dishes were cleared as needed and water was refilled. We each took home a small to-go container and I'm looking forward to the leftovers. Our server was amazing, she was working tables inside and outside and both sides of the dining room.

    I had gotten take out from this place once and wasn't that impressed but decided to give it another chance for dine-in. I was seated and had my order taken very quickly since it wasn't busy. However it took extremely long to get our food. During that time nobody came to check on us, which I personally didn't mind since I don't like being disturbed while eating. After we finished eating, we couldn't find anyone to get us the check. All the employees were standing in the back talking. We were eventually able to flag down a busser who was able to get our waitress. Once we finally got the check we had to wait again to ask someone to get us change. We were there for 2 hours and spent probably 20-30 minutes of it actually eating. Very slow service, but the atmosphere was nice. We got a truffle mushroom pizza, shrimp scampi, and a mushroom risotto. The food looked amazing but unfortunately did not taste that way. The risotto had no flavor and the shrimp scampi had huge slices of unevenly cooked garlic. The truffle mushroom pizza was decent but a little soggy. The complimentary garlic bread was extremely hard to chew.

    I was looking forward to visiting this space as I loved one location. I love the restaurant space. But I felt the food was not up to the mark. My husband and I ordered fig and cheese pizza the toppings were good but as time passed the pizza base became more like a biscuit. We ordered pasta which was okay as it lacked flavor but then when we asked the server to add veggies he accommodated our request. The drinks were good. Also unlimited bread basked until your order arrives!

    Food quality / price rating (value) 10. The atmosphere is contemporary neo-industrial, and it is comfortable and interesting. They have plenty of high-tops and cozy nooks which makes for a great date place, and have several sidewalk tables outside. Happy Hours are Monday through Friday, 3 - 6 pm Service by Jerry was very good. We've now been to all four Savona restaurants, and all of them have heen excellent. The menu is filled with innovative offerings, and even the classic dishes have a unique spin on them. I had the Grilled Chicken and roasted pear hero on semolina bread which was fantastic, and included house-cut shoestring fries that were cooked extra well done as asked. The wife had the Chop Chop Chicken salad that was made with high quality greens, and said it was excellent also. They offer limited, but well rounded draught beer choices. I'd certainly recommend all four Savona restaurants.

    Savona's in Poughkeepsie has a lot to offer, as far as the restaurant goes. They have some outdoor seating, covered with an awning, which is very comfortable on nice days. The downside is that it is on a fairly busy street and close to a traffic roundabout, which can be a little noisy. They have plenty of space inside, including tables, high tops, and at the bar. Service is pretty consistent and good, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is well prepared and decently priced, at least, during happy hour, which is when I usually go. They offer some pasta, flatbread, and other appetizer type dishes at a very reasonable price during happy hour. Also, they have great drink specials. This is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. They even have a back room that is open for event space. At a recent event, the air conditioning wasn't working, but I don't think that is the norm.

My entree was the best Pasta Bolognese I've had in a very long time! I'm an Italian and it transcended me back to childhood in my mother's kitchen! The rich abundant meat flavor blended perfectly with the spiced tomato sauce! It was a truly delicious dish ladled over the cooked just right al dente pasta! Deliciousness at 100% ! I highly recommend it! Husband had the huge, thick cut , bone in pork chop! Unbelievable flavor! The glaze was deliciously savory with hidden tastes of sweet Asian over perfectly charred cut up sweet potatoes and sticky rice on the side. Both our dinners portions were very large offering plenty for another meal at home. This was our fourth visit to the restaurant . Next time we are traveling up here to Poughkeepsie for work from Boston area we will certainly return! Each visit gets better and better!

We visited on the Friday before V-day, the house was packed around 18:30. The wait was 45 mins which wasn't too bad for a Friday night. We decided to wait in the lobby after trying to find a cozy waiting spot near the bar and missing. My wife attempted to order me a mocktail, but of course the bar was crazy busy. When the bartender finally acknowledged her, the mocktail requests obviously threw the bartender for a loop because I ended up with watered down ginger beer and a sprig of mint. My advice for anyone looking for a virgin drink at this bar would be to order a club soda with lime and call it a night. We were seated at the 45 min mark, and were escorted to the packed bar, where they have some exterior tables for diners. My seat was in the middle of the couch split, which I found mighty uncomfortable so we opted to request a seat in the main dining room, which the staff happily obliged. With dinner we ordered hot tea and were given lukewarm water and a choice of Stash teas. Our beverage experience here was very disappointing. The calamari arrived and may have been the only highlight, although we didn't find it to have that fresh calamari texture. My wife ordered a ravioli with mushroom, and felt the pasta and veggies were just swimming in butter. I ordered my steak medium and it was okay, but the juices from the greens made the croquettes soggy, and unenjoyable. The server did his best, and all the staff here are so kind. Coulda been an off night but I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The Mocktail Madam.
