Rated 4.8 Stars OpenTable, 3 Stars "EXCELLENT," The Bergen Record and Voted "BEST OF BERGEN" by (201) Magazine and the Bergen Magazine year after year. Savini is a Sophisticated, Award Winning, Northern Italian/American Restaurant. Considered one of the most attractive restaurants in Bergen County, food is served at Savini in what was once a colonial home. What remains of the original only contributes to the aesthetics. But it is a positive culinary experience that diners seek and that is what they get at Savini. It excels in the three most significant barometers of a restaurant's health: Food, Service and Atmosphere. The cuisine is Northern Italian/Continental. Specialties cover the gamut – a selection of fresh fish delivered daily, homemade pasta, veal, chicken, steaks and chops. Enjoy coffee, an after-dinner drink and perhaps late night music in the lounge. Our cuisine and menu will please the most discerning palate and is both distinctive and unique.

Nice dinner for four, one of whom is gluten intolerant; everyone left well satisfied. Good menu options, including salmon accompanied by a delish orange sauce; short ribs and the gluten free pasta. Nice to see so many gluten free options. Appetizers and dessert were enjoyed by all. Marcello, one of the owners, found the time to converse with diners. The wait staff all worked together to keep the dining room flowing. Can’t wait to return!

Pork chop was one of the very best I have ever had! Everyone enjoyed their meal, only thing not great was the bread, I always feel finer restaurants should serve either great, warm artisan bread or none at all. Service was great and atmosphere lovely
