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.

Took my mom here on a Saturday night. We did the 5:30p seating. Decor and mood lighting was gorgeous! Owner made his rounds and greeted us. Our server, Julian, was attentive, frequently checked on us, and was well versed in the menu and specials. Smaller tables to accommodate the smaller Main Street venue, but they make it work where you don’t feel too crammed. Unfortunately a lot of noise as we were in a dining room with a larger party going on. Food was delicious- I ordered the homemade fettuccini and my mom the cherry braised short rib!! Recommend both!! Overall a truly lovely Italian spot at an easy location in town! Thank you, Bici!!

Our first time eating here; excellent! Had the Lamb special and the Shrimp francaise special, everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. Carla was our waitress and she was personable and professional. We can not wait to return to try other entrees.
