Phenomenal. The gnocchi was a tantalizing symphony of flavor. My bf had a pizza and it was incredible. Rosemary focaccia, yes please! I went prior to a work shift and I cannot wait to go again and try out the cocktails!!!! Yes. Yes, and yes. read more

We stopped in for a bite without a reservation before 6 pm on a recent chilly evening for our first time. Already, there was no indoor table available for two so we sat outside under a propane heater. The service was initially prompt and friendly with helpful menu suggestions. Bread and oliveoil showed up shortly. We split the caesar salad and the lamb tagliatelle and it was plenty for the two of us! The caesar dressing was creamy and tasty even if a bit on the salty side. The lamb dish was very good. Large indoor parties and being outside distracted the service a bit but caused no problem as we continued to leisurely sip our wine. It can be surpising to find a decent reasonably priced meal with the ambience of alfresco dining in a shopping center. But it will be worth a return trip. read more

This has been by far my favorite place to eat in Mt Pleasant. The fact is I have recommended SAVI many times. So why would I rate SAVIs a 3? Here is the deal. Over the last several months the quality has taken a nose dive. I had the eggplant parm tonight which was ok but not up to my expectations and my past experience. As you can see the meatball appetizer came as three lonely balls with a thin covering of cheese. They looked like three scoops of dough linked together and tasted like frozen meatballs. This is not the SAVIs I have raved about over the last few years. Case in point two of the last three couples I recommended SAVIs to walked out. I think they are getting lazy and we all know what happens to lazy in the Mt Pleasant market. Good luck SAVI; we hope you can turn it around. read more

So, I made a reservation here, and then decided to read some of the reviews. Most of the most recent reviews are less than flattering and wax poetic about which once was and how now the tide has changed and the quality was not so great. We arrived to a really nice modern restaurant, not an old school checkered table cloth with jugs of Chianti set into baskets with half melted candles. We started the night with apps of charred octopus and roasted oysters. Octopus was nice but the oysters were the better dish. Topped with prosciutto and a little mignonette, on the smaller side though but tasty. We ordered the trio of sparkling Prosecco, Prosecco Rosé, and Lambrusco. Pretty good. Also an aperol Spritz. Another decent drink. We were also brought a plate of bread with olive oil for dipping, the bread was good. We then switched to the entree round. Wife ordered the seafood ravioli, daughter ordered the bucatini with meatballs, I opted for the veal chop. We washed it down with a bottle of 2015, San Marzano Aniversario 62 Primitivo. A big and bold wine from Puglia the has hints of black cherry and blackberry and a little more of an sun-baked earthy note. Great wine to drink alone or share with a big piece of meat or saucy dish. The ravioli, Im not happy to say, seems to lack flavor. The sauce lacked a zip that we expected. The shrimp weren't really good either. It was better than the bucatini and meatballs. The meatballs seemed to need a bit more seasoning as well and the texture was sort of flabby. The pasta, as my wife described it, seemed to have been held in water. They were mushy and flavorless. The veal chop was great! juicy and full of flavor, and it was accompanied with a creamy bed of mashed potatoes and a balsamic/mushroom sauce. By far the winner of the entree round! We ordered 2 desserts for the table. A tiramisu, that came to the table with a great presentation and had chocolate strips atop it was really good. The second dessert was an almond rum cake, that came with a scoop of almond gelato. The Rum cake was a winner with pineapple rum, sweet cream cheese frosting, and sugared almonds atop the cake. I did see a few pizzas go but the table and they did look great. We can say nothing bad about the service either. She was friendly, polite, and helpful. All in all not a stellar experience but good enough that Im willing to go back and try something else again. read more

Okay so first off I went to this place when it was Napa, wasn't necessarily sad to see Napa leave. Then this place opens up, and Covid hits.... Today finally got a chance to go in with some girlfriends for happy hour and ended up staying longer than I expected, because it was so great! We had happy hour in their wine room. The servers and manager were very attentive to us. We tried different wine flights, aperol spritz, and a couple different of their mixed drink cocktails. (Within the group) Their appetizers, salads & charcuterie all amazing. Also noticed very convenient curbside pick up going on. I will be back again soon! Everything was great! The wine room is super cute!!!! read more

Thank you for the awesome service from your employees, ambiance, and delicious food. I would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

This modern Italian restaurant is a taste of Italy right in Town Center. I started with the Limoncello cocktail which was the perfect combination of sweet and tart! Next I had the butternut squash gnocchi in a delicious cream sauce. The gnocchi was a little on the dense side but somehow worked well with the rich creamy sauce. I finished with the tiramisu cheesecake. Oh wow! What a fantastic combination! I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I can't wait to try more menu items. read more

SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar - Salted Caramel Martini and a Smoked Old Fashioned - Wine Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

This is a nice romantic Italian restaurant. Excellent service. We had a small salad . good $9.00 I had the Linguine Alle Vongole $29. Adding Shrimp & Calamari $9. The chewy pasta wasn't cooked long enough to my liking. Skimpy seafood for the price. Dry needing more wine. I have eaten this in many restaurants and make it at home. I informed the server to tell the chef. That's where it ended. Veal Parmesan was good. I have eaten this in many restaurants and make it at home. Mine is better as I use the best ingredient's. I describe it as middle of the road. I will wait awhile and try this restaurant again. read more

This place came highly recommended but it was underwhelming at best. The food was nothing to write home about, especially for the price. The service was terrible. The marinara sauce has way too much pepper in it, the lobster ravioli were dry and hard, the eggplant was all breading, the veal was tough, the desserts were blah. Everything was disappointing, I do not recommend. read more

This place has great food and a nice wine selection. Been here before COVID. Happy Hour well martini was $8, tiny and therefore expensive. A more generous pour in a standard martini glass would easily solve that. Happy to pay $8+ for call brand, but too much for well especially on Happy Hour. Went for the burrata as an app to share, some Caesar salads (dressing was divine and shaved cheese and croutons fresh) and some pizzas to share. Beautiful crunchy crust and nicely topped. The $25+ entrees scared us off a bit... weren't looking to spend that much last night. Service was decent, maybe just a bit of a new server... it helps to continue to clear dishes so there is room to put the next part of the order and the entrees when the time comes. All in all, nice environment and friendly staff. Seems like they're still finding their groove. Will definitely go back. read more

First time trying SAVI, we sat at the bar (the restaurant bar not the wine bar). The atmosphere and ambience was great! We got two dishes, the Truffle Gnudi and the Bucatini & Meatballs. The Truffle Gnudi was very good. Similar to gnocchi, it paired well with the Italian sausage/mushrooms. The Bucatini & Meatballs didn't blow us away - the meatballs had a nice flavor but the pomodoro sauce didn't have a strong flavor, it wasn't the best I've had. Would definitely go back to try other dishes!! read more

Fantastic service, wonderful atmosphere, and delicious food here! Our server was so kind and attentive. We were never half out of water and she made lots of knowledgeable recommendations on the menu. Our food came out relatively quickly too. Every single thing we ordered (and the free bread) was SUPER tasty. Highly recommend the seafood ravioli. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the outdoor seating is nice too! Overall, this place is a slam dunk when it comes to some good Italian food and a great experience. read more

I am a regular wine club member and tonight I was very disappointed in Savi...As a wine club member we get to take home the bottle we most prefer. The least disappointing issue tonight was most of the wine was unavailable and we would have to return for it later if that was the wine we liked. More importantly were issues with the food. Having ordered the hot honey pizza previously we wanted it again and as before only wanted meat on half and wanted added veggies. Kitchen came back saying they couldn't accommodate only half meat. So I said ok. I can remove the pepperoni from my slices. AND the pizza arrived with NO PEPPERONI AND NO PANCETTA along with no pepperoncini which it should have. It did have mushrooms and regular peppers which we were charged $4 each for adding to the pizza. So the pizza wound up being almost$30 without the meat or the pepperoncini. More shocking was one of us ordered a small salad and added steak to it. When the bill came the charge for the steak was a whopping $31. We should have asked before but I think that's outrageous. Won't be doing that again.. And not sure when we will be back. read more

Wow, I'm so glad Savi brought amazing food, wine and ambiance to Mount Pleasant! They really made the space beautiful and offer a wonderful dining experience. They've quickly become my favorite restaurant. I've enjoyed everything I've tried and highly recommend the shrimp carbonara, amazing (and huge) eggplant parmigiana, bolognese, osso bucco, and tiramisu, to name a few. If you haven't been yet, head over! read more

Savi Cucina is the best! I've order roughly 10 main entrees on the menu and they don't disappoint. This particular time, I ordered the scallops and they were awesome. Very buttery and had a wonderful crust on the outside. With Savi you can also count on great wines from around the world. My wife and I tasted wines from Oregon, France, Italy, and Austria! Super cool! Savi is always my place to hang out with great food! read more

Ignore Merritt T's review. I was there that day and she was the nuisance to my otherwise pleasant dinner. She was calling the table with children names and tried to get other tables in on making the parents uncomfortable. She is low class and I hope I never see her here again as she would just ruin other dinners. The shrimp and lobster scampi were delicious with just the right amount of sauce. The seafood was cooked to near perfection. We also had a chicken Caesar salad and the dressing was very delicious. Savi has some of the best wine selections in the area. You will find a wine to your liking. If you cannot find a wine, then I don't know what kind of palate you have. read more

Service was excellent. Unfortunately, the menu has changed since our last visit. The Chocolate Bar with the delicious chocolate mousse is no longer offered, instead replaced by a dry chocolate torte. The spicy pepperoni and banana pepper pizza has also been removed from the menu. These were our favorite items, and were the reason we frequented. We have no reason to return. read more

Okay. You need to get here. Operation runs so smoothly, hospitality top notch ( based on a person who behaves that way naturally ) , and Jeff and Karen who run the place are freaking amazing. Jeff is the executive chef and his cuisine is some of the best in this neck of the woods. Remarkable folks that also create a lovely atmosphere and take great care of their employees! They have a wine club that's a great deal and have a separate section for you to sit in when you participate. Trust me, do it. The sommelier is super well educated in her choices and does an amazing job of telling the backstory of where the vino is sourced and the family's history. We thoroughly enjoyed this months' selections! Tuscany, Sicily, Oregon etc! The food ? Everything is grand. The scallops, polenta, and cheesecake made for an excellent dinner split between the two of us. We were slightly indulgent in having the amazing charcuterie board with our wine- literally the only pate have ever liked. Brilliant! Did not picture that but will when we are back for the members only party. Enjoy and come join us!! read more

This is a see-and-be-seen restaurant in Mount Pleasant. The interior feels very swank, very high-end, which gives diners higher expectations, I think, for the food and wine experience. Truthfully, I can't fully comment on that experience as I ordered from SAVI (dinner for one!) on one of those rare evenings sans husband and kids. I wanted a treat. Unfortunately, my appearance in yoga pants and a t-shirt to pick up my dinner didn't lean into what felt like a snobby vibe. The employees were rude to me. I ordered a risotto entree and a dessert. With gratuity, it was a $75 meal, but just OK at best. While I'd hope the food experience would improve with table service, I imagine it could be a fun location for a group of friends for drinks and possibly appetizers. read more

What happen to this place? I use to love going here. Food was awful. Service not much better. Went in on a Friday night at 8 and it was mostly empty. Very sad read more

This was my first time visiting, and I'm so glad I know it exists now! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a myriad of delicious smells that made my mouth water. The design and decor in this restraint is simply lovely and perfectly inviting. We sat at the bar and the service was phenomenal. Bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was perfectly delectable. Top all of this off with the vast wine and liquor selection, and this place gets 5 stars from me. Thank you for a great experience! read more

5 stars on all counts: food, service & ambiance! At every point I encountered friendly and helpful staff, starting with making a reservation. I've been there twice now, (I moved to MP 4 months ago) the first time without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us at the bar. It turned out to be a wonderful evening. Last night (with reservations, I learnt my lesson) was no different. It's such a great experience when the staff are smiling and engaging and look like they enjoy what they do. The ambiance itself is trendy / upscale, perfect for a date night or a fun girl's night. Both times I've ordered different items because I love to try EVERYTHING......I've yet to be disappointed with any of the 15+ items I've tried here. They're very accommodating if you want to mix and match dishes from the specials menu. And now we come to their cellar.....perhaps the star of the show! Visually stunning and part of the decor, it's very well curated and has a lovely selection of half bottles which is perfect if you want to have more than one glass but know you can't (shouldn't) do a full bottle. Hands down my favourite restaurant in MP! read more

Their bartenders are very sweet and do very tasty cocktails. Especially, the lady with a tattoo on her arm. But their oldest hostess is very unprofessional and I hope she gets fired because me and my friend were not welcomed. We came at 5pm, the restaurant was half empty and she was like "do you have a reservation" and I'm looking around at all the available tables and say "no we don't" and she's like "ohhh let me see what I can do for you, while you wait outside" wtf is this??? As if she's doing me a favor, so she sat us by the bar, even though we wanted to sit outside. Everything stayed as it was(available) but this unpleasant woman sat us by the bar. Their manager really needs to reconsider this woman's position, we're in 2021(customer service has to be your top priority), this hostess has to know her job, or otherwise what is she getting paid for?? read more

Our first time dining here and we waited 30 minutes even with a prior reservation. Decor and light fixtures were beautiful for sure when you first walk inside but don't be Sat at a table in the back because there are only terrible spotlights which wasn't pleasant and does not match the rest of the lighting and mood. Wine options were amazing but the food wasn't the best Italian....sorry I guess I'm bias being an Italian from NYC. I ordered the linguini and clams and the sauce looked and tasted just like pasta water. Had high hopes due to all the other great reviews. Again amazing wine and wine selection if you are into wines from different regions etc. read more

It was good and the service was top notch with great wine choices. We sat in the back room away from bar. The bar was hopping.

My family and I were seated at approximately 7:10pm on a Friday night. My wife and I are both former food and beverage employees with over 30 years of experience in the industry; from what we could tell, the restaurant was moderately busy. The six of us in our party had to wait about 15 minutes before we received our drinks and had to ask another server to pour the can of diet coke that we saw sitting for several minutes next to a glass of ice, about five feet from our table (my mother ordered a diet coke, and we correctly assumed that the can and glass were for her). We had to ask for bread after about fifteen minutes. We placed our order for dinner and waited almost an hour for the meal to be placed at our table. At some point after about 35-40 minutes, I got up from the table to use the restroom and happened to meet the restaurant owner on the way back to the table. I apprised her of the situation, and she promised to look into why we hadn't yet received our meals. Within a few minutes of getting back to the table, the server kindly asked if we wanted more bread, which we declined. The server also apologized, saying that the kitchen crew apparently was having a difficult time because of the "new menu". About 15 minutes later, our meals finally arrived, with the co-owner, the owner's husband, delivering the first two dishes. For some reason, he didn't acknowledge our long wait, offering no apology and no reason for the delay. It was as if we were there for just 15-20 minutes and had no delay in getting our meals. The rest of the dishes were brought out, and we dug in, hungrily. However, my father's pasta was not hot, and one of my daughter's pasta was not quite cooked all the way. When the server came by to check on our experience, we let her know about those issues. About ten minutes later, after we were done with our nearly two hour experience, we asked for the check. To my surprise, the check was not reduced to account for the inexcusable delay and less than quality dishes. I suggested to the server that the check should reflect our generally negative experience. The server then took the check back to the owners, I presume, and we waiting another ten minutes for some kind of resolution. My oldest daughter, who is a server at HomeTeam BBQ, an extremely popular spot in our area, pointed out that her management team would take care of the entire check if this situation would have occurred there, but I believed that, at minimum, half of the check should have been reduced by these owners. For those of you reading this review, please know that this restaurant has an average entree price of close to $35 per plate. Its prices reflect a 4-5 star rating. This is not an inexpensive restaurant by any means. In addition, we have dined here on at least five other occasions and have enjoyed our experiences. The check was adjusted, with the owners sending over a manager that we had not even seen during our close to two hour time at the venue. She took off $35, which reflects less than a 25% discount, and gave us a free wine tasting certificate, which we have decided we will not use. The female owner, whom I saw earlier in the evening, never came over to our table, and the male owner, who delivered the meals, never checked on us as well. Based on this experience, it will likely be a LONG time until my wife and I return, and we will be sure to share our experience with our friends. Please know that it is not the food quality or wait with which we are majorly disappointed. It is the way we were approached by management and ownership, who demonstrated an overwhelming lack of care and quality and customer service, that has led us to make our decision to not return in our future. read more

Savi Cucina is a great vibe the entire place is cool trendy and nice we had a few cocktails while we waited on our party of four and they were beautiful to look at and very tasty. I was excited for the meal. We ordered three appetizers. Mussels, meatballs, and calamari I would say go with the calamari then the meatballs and lastly mussels. The mussels were kinda of gritty. Next we ordered flights of wine maybe about 3 flight before deciding on moscato 1/2 bottles. I love a sweet wine that's just a preference they have many quite a selection so wine drinkers they have a selection for you. The entrees we ordered were seafood ravioli, lamb meal, shrimp pasta and another dish I can't remember the name ok the stuff ravioli was the best. The lamb was like a stew and it also was amazing the other two dishes were not as seasoned nor that flavorful. Overall the entire experience was amazing and the waitress was phenomenal she made that entire experience amazing that waitress and service was impeccable. Dessert was also amazing read more

This was by far the best place we ate at in the Mount Pleasant area while on vacation! Top notch service, amazing food, great cocktails... and the food was not only delicious, but it was gorgeous.

Can't say enough how wonderful our experience was! read more

Took my Dad here for his birthday. We had a Great meal with fantastic service that made the night even more special for my Dad.

I wish you could give half stars on yelp because I think Savi was better than a 3 but not quite a 4. The staff was really friendly and they wrote a hand written happy birthday for my husband which was nice. They advertised happy hour on their website but there was no happy hour menu or information about it at the restaurant so we missed out on that. The bread and the burrata were fantastic, but the main dishes (baked ziti and shrimp carbonara) left something to be desired, especially at the higher price point. read more
