Thankfully my friend noticed they were BYOB and brought wine as I completely missed that on their menu. It was pretty calm for a Sunday night and we were there for awhile. The bruschetta and bread that was brought out was honestly not my favorite we didn't really eat it. We started with their fried calamari with cherry peppers which was delicious and ended up bringing half of it home. We actually both ordered their PAGLIA e FIENO which was absolutely delicious. The cream sauce was wonderful and there was a decent portion of seafood in each dish. For dessert we ordered the creme brûlée and strawberries Zabaglione. The creme brûlée was good something you normally would get. The strawberries Zabaglione was perfect and refreshing with fresh strawberries with a nice thinner consistency custard on top. Our server Elise was wonderful as we were catching up with each other and very slow to order. The inside was very clean with a modern decoration. Parking is street parking which was easier enough to find on a Sunday evening. The only thing I was surprised for a byob Italian spot was some of their pricing was a bit steep for the place itself.

Inside it is a nice area, couple tv's pizza oven and a square bar area. Beer options are decent and offer a lighter menu if you like or can order off the main menu. I had chicken murphy which was good, only missing the sausage element to make it great and kick it up a notch. Their cheesy bread is always a nice touch to start your meal which no other place offers in the area. Service is friendly and all are professional, plenty of staff around if you need any help.

First time coming to Pazza and this was for my birthday dinner. I was impressed by how crowded it…read morewas for a Monday evening. We sat on the bar side in a high top table. Service was slower but efficient when it came to our food coming out. The only complaint was they had an issue with their ticketing system so all out of food came out at once instead of in courses. The filet tips were good but the portion was way bigger than we were expecting. The appetizer alone was extremely filling and well flavored. The cacio e Pepe was an enormous portion compared to places I've had before. The flavor was rich and thick and creamy and not too peppery. The chicken francese was a huge portion as well and well flavored. The queen pizza came out at the same time as all of food so we ate one or two slices but mainly focused on our entrees. We brought so much food home. Everything was delicious. My only complaint was the AC was on so high I was freezing and thankfully had a light jacket in my car. I look forward to going back to Pazza and trying more of their food and hopefully having room for dessert next.

Sad to say but I was totally disappointed.. the dressing tasted like it was a generic dressing from restaurant depot and the lettuce was extremely soggy and almost inedible..

The prosciutto pizza was a standout--light, refreshing, and the crispy crust was perfect. Everyone at the table ordered a different pasta entree, and we were all impressed. The penne vodka sauce was creamy, flavorful, and rich without being too heavy. One small issue: we ordered a lot of appetizers, and no one came to clear the plates before our entrees arrived. With a smaller table, it got cramped and messy, and we had to ask someone to take the finished dishes. It felt a little sloppy and lack of service for an otherwise great experience. Especially since we had to ask someone other than our server for boxes and the check since she wasn't attentive. That said, the food definitely makes up for it. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Appetizer of fried zucchini sticks took about 20 minutes to arrive, and I had to ask for silverware. The mains of a turkey burger and the Amici burger were very good. Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The chocolate cream pie was more of a chocolate mousse. It was a little pricey too. Almost $90.00 with tip. Nothing bad about the experience, but I don't know if I'd go back.

It was a close call when the sea's best ( shrimp, Crab) , white wine, tomato , basil and arugula are bedded with Linguini, is on the menu. However, last night the winning choice was a glorious linguini with little neck clams in a brilliant garlicky pepper flaked broth. To say the options are plenty does not do service to the vast options of homemade pastas, slow mastered sauces and land and sea delights. A chicken parm for example was a silky mozarella wedded to a tender chicken breast embedded in roasted burst of tomatoes. Service! Professional, knowledgeable and note to self- remember wine! Casual for friends to connect, warm for special celebrations ( there was a birthday party on a Wednesday night!) perfect for date night!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with "Welcome home" and seated. Bobby was our waiter and he was knowledgeable, polite, and offered my guests choices and recommendations on our orders. And in true Savini tradition, our Specials Menu had been prepared with a Happy Birthday notation on top of the page for my special guest! The Filet Mignon Crostini, a special on the menu, was fantastic! Each of our entrees was perfectly prepared and delicious. Desserts were also wonderful. The service at Savini is always exceptional, as it was last evening. This is my favorite restaurant, especially if we have a special occasion to celebrate! Grateful!!!

They truly…read moretreat you like family the moment you walk through the door, and I couldn't imagine celebrating my 40th birthday anywhere else. The service was, as always, impeccable. They have a way of making a special night feel even more significant, balancing professional excellence with genuine warmth. They even made a personalized Specials Menu for the celebration! And the food? It's consistently fantastic. We started with a spread of appetizers that set the bar high: the Stuffed Figs and Meatball specials were standout hits, and you can't go wrong with their perfectly crisp Caesar Salad or the Escargot Scampi in that delicious puff pastry. For the main course, the Filet Mignon Oscar and Veal Imperial specials were prepared to perfection - decadent and incredibly fresh. The Cacio e Pepe was authentic and flavorful, and the Capellini special was light, but OH SO satisfying. They topped off the night with a beautiful birthday surprise -- Crème Brûlée (complete with a "Happy Birthday" chocolate sign and candle!) along with the Mixed Berries with Biscotti (can't go wrong with perfection!). Thank you to the entire team at Savini's for making my 40th Birthday Extravaganza so memorable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a life milestone, this place remains our "steady ground" and our favorite tradition. Can't wait for the next visit!

Go here for the Chilean sea bass with the Florentine sauce, get the lemon potatoes, and spinach --…read morehonestly one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. I'd give that dish a 4.75 and the overall dining experience a 4.2. The fish was incredibly fresh, delicate, and perfectly cooked. It felt light, yet still filling and completely satisfying and nice size portion too. AND DO NOT FORGET the lemon potatoes... possibly the best I've had in my lifetime. I normally don't even enjoy foods that are overly lemony, but these were balanced perfectly with just the right brightness and flavor and seasoned with perfect salt and pepper ...when the waitress told me rosemary was part of the flavor it was surprising bc I also don't like rosemary...honestly I would go back for those alone. Hub was trying this place for the first time and ordered the chicken parm. He said it was decent but fairly basic compared to other Italian spots and I'm being overly generous with my review. The side salad was surprisingly memorable...a simple mix of greens with excellent olive oil and vinegar that made it taste fresh, flavorful, and elevated. They also brought out complimentary mini rice balls along with a meat and cheese appetizer, which was a really nice touch. I paired my meal with a Washington Riesling by the glass, and our waitress was genuinely delightful and warm throughout the evening and checked if I needed a refill. My water glass also somehow stayed full the entire night, which honestly deserves recognition because that rarely happens anywhere anymore. Small hiccup: I had to ask 4 times for lemons for the water (from other staff the first 2 times)... but hey, fourth time's the charm. They also had a live piano bar 7/8 PM on Thursday night which had a lively singer and a delight to see live music entertainment. The biggest opportunity here is streamlining the music when there's live entertainment. For example, "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton was overlapping with the piano bar singer performing "8 Days a Week," which made the atmosphere feel a little chaotic and over loaded my senses and not in a good way. The piano bar music created a much more upbeat and enjoyable vibe than the regular dining room playlist. To finish, we tried the homemade New York cheesecake with caramel sauce for dessert, and you could absolutely tell the desserts were homemade. Better than some cheesecakes I've had in NYC. A perfect ending to the meal. Overall, definitely worth visiting for the chilean sea bass dishes, lemon potatoes, homemade desserts, attentive service, and warm atmosphere. When I come back I'm getting those potatoes!

After reading so many glowing reviews, I am absolutely stunned by how awful our experience was on…read moreFriday, May 8th. Between an absentee, scatterbrained server and poorly prepared food, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had in years. We had been looking forward to this dinner all week, especially since we were celebrating two special occasions, but from the moment we were seated, it felt like we had been placed at the "afterthought table." For the first 30 minutes, no one acknowledged us. We weren't given menus, water, or any interaction whatsoever. When our server finally appeared to take a drink order, we asked for a wine list. She disappeared for another 15 minutes, and I eventually had to get up and ask another employee for menus myself. When the server finally returned, she apologized by saying she was "busy with Phil Simms" at another table. That is not something you say to paying customers. My time and money are just as valuable as anyone else's. The rest of the evening followed the same pattern: long stretches without service, forgotten requests, and excuse after excuse. When our wine finally arrived, the server spilled it across the table and onto my wife's glass, then joked that she had "forgotten how to do her job" after being on vacation and earlier she even forgot to put someone's dinner order in! At that point, I politely explained that service had been extremely slow and asked if things could improve. Her response was to laugh in my face. After taking our entrée order, she then informed us she had forgotten to tell us the specials. More than an hour after being seated, our appetizers finally arrived. They were bland and disappointing, and once we finished, the empty plates sat untouched on our table for quite some time while our server once again disappeared. Nearly two and a half hours into the evening, our entrées finally arrived. Unfortunately, the food was just as bad as the service. The chicken dish was room temperature on the outside and refrigerator-cold in the middle, with unmelted cheese still visible -- clearly something that had been prepared earlier, refrigerated, and poorly reheated. The gnocchi was overcooked to the point of being mushy and gelatinous. The braised short ribs were dry and overcooked, and the risotto was watery and flavorless instead of creamy and rich. After one or two bites, we asked to speak with a manager. The manager appeared somewhat indifferent, though he did offer to comp a portion of the meal. He also said someone would come wrap the food, but of course, no one ever did. We then sat for another 20 minutes with no interaction until our server returned and cheerfully asked, "I hope everything was great tonight!" We explained all of the issues, and her response was simply, "Oh, sorry." We asked for the bill and waited another 15 minutes. When she finally returned, she offered more excuses and told us we should give the restaurant another chance because "the kitchen is preparing for Mother's Day." At that point, it was hard to believe how tone-deaf the entire experience had been. Needless to say, we will never return and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
