If you're looking for a top-notch happy hour experience, SAVI Cucina is a must-visit. Their happy hour offerings feature well-priced drinks and bites that are both satisfying and creative. The standout for me was the chai espresso martini--a delightful twist on the classic espresso martini, perfectly balanced with warm chai spices. It was smooth, indulgent, and absolutely memorable. On the food side, the whipped ricotta stole the show with its creamy texture and delicate flavor, paired beautifully with warm pita bread. The meatballs were rich and flavorful, while the marinated olives added a touch of briny sophistication. What truly elevated our visit was the exceptional service. We were a larger party that included several elderly adults, and our server went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and accommodated. Their patience and attentiveness did not go unnoticed, making the experience even more enjoyable for our group. The ambiance is chic yet welcoming, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends or kick off an evening. With such impressive happy hour options, SAVI Cucina deserves a spot on your go-to list for both drinks and Italian-inspired bites. Highly recommended!

Our first time dining at Savi Cucina and we will definitely be back! We ate in the wine bar area which has great ambiance, combined with the excellent service. Starting with the grilled octopus and chicken lollipops kicked off a very yummy dinner. I ordered the Branzino which was stuffed with risotto (that's right stuffed with delicious risotto). The fish was cooked perfectly and had been deboned which made us much easier to enjoy. The wifey had eggplant Parmesan which was a bit heavy and stopped us from having dessert but definitely worth it! The drinks are just as good with a great priced happy hour! It was amazing to find such an excellent Italian restaurant not far from our home! Cheers!

This was my first time coming in and enjoyed it. I actually love that it's located right outside of the movie theater. Convenient for a movie and dinner. There is ample outdoor seating. When you first walk through the doors the bar area is open. I was greeted by the hostess and sat at the bar. The bartenders were super nice. They all introduced themselves to me and recommended their favorite selections...I opted for a cocktail this time around. I can't recall the name of it but it was delicious I didn't have a very big appetite so I ordered their meatballs and a side caesar salad. I did leave a little room for their banana pudding trife, which was so tasty. The caramelized banana on top was top tier. Would definitely come back to explore the wines and menu options more. It was a great experience.

The service here is amazing. Everyone is so attentive. I love their happy hour which goes from 3 - 6 and it's super conveniently located in town center so it's a great post shopping stop. I got the meatballs and the fried mozzarella and both of them were delicious. I love that they have excellent wines and cocktails so everyone in your party has options. Their full dinner menu starts at 5 and it gets busy around 5-6.

Do not sleep on this stop, it was the best pizza I've had in a minute. We went for happy hour that is offered in the bar area (high tops included) until 6pm. We got the Brussels and arancini off the HH small plates menu. Both were delish but Brussels were our favorite. We also got some of the cocktails that were good as well. For the entree, we split the sausage and burrata pizza with a side of hot honey and I will be thinking about it for a very, very long time. It is packed with flavor and the crust actually is firm enough that all the toppings don't slide off when you pick it up. We finished the meal with the almond rum cake and the chocolate mousse desserts which were huge portion sizes (didn't stop us from finishing both however). The almond rum cake was really light and unique, would order again. Only complaint was service was quite slow. We spent way more time in the restaurant than we should have but the food made up for that. Hoping that was a fluke thing and not a regular occurrence.

I came back recently and have to do a review update. We came in without a reservation because we just happened to be in Towne Centre that night. They offered us a high top at the bar, but my friend has a particular issue with her knee making those stools uncomfortable. The owner overheard our conversation with the hostess and immediately seated us at a regular table in the dining room which was much appreciated. Considering the restaurant is in an outdoor mall/shopping plaza, you immediately forget about that once you're inside. They start you with a plate of house focaccia with the best dipping oil. Then we got a small Caesar salad and meatballs to start. The crispy pancetta on the Caesar really makes it next level and their meatballs are fantastic. For entrees we did a little sharing and ended up with two classics. The chicken parm was huge and the chicken was perfectly tender. On my last visit my brother had the lasagna al forno and I had been thinking about it ever since. You basically get your own long cast iron pan full of lasagna and it's so delicious. We definitely over ordered and were happy to take some home for lunch the next day.
