    Lunch menu - antipasti and salad / Oct 2023
    Emily L.

    Savinos is a local gem. I've been here for celebratory dinners in the past, both pre- and during the pandemic, and everything has been delicious with great service in a classy (if a bit dated) atmosphere. Lately I've been enjoying their lunch, which is a great price (entrees around $15) for high quality meals that satisfy more than your typical sandwich of the same price in the area. I have a number of dietary restrictions (mostly gluten and dairy free), and they've been able to accommodate them while not compromising on quality. The grilled salmon is one meal I would get again and again. It comes with a refreshing salad alongside a red potato salad that's very lightly dressed with mayonnaise, just what I prefer. The steak is another good option for gluten and dairy free folks. It's easy to substitute items with more veggies. While I've enjoyed just about everything I've had there, sometimes they add a bit too much finishing oils, making some dishes too oily. My mom, who is a particular eater, loves the flatbread (toppings are a rotating special). She found the pasta bolognese to be a bit one note, though, with not much other ingredients. They don't have gf/df desserts, but I couldn't resist taking a bite of my mom's crème caramel. It is deliciously creamy! Reminds me of desserts in Paris when I could eat whatever I wanted. There's street parking and some outdoor seating for warmer months. If you do want to come for lunch, be sure to make a reservation on their website -- I think they still require them. We've also called them to get takeout, which has been super easy. Still, I prefer going in person to have a slice of elegant calm.

    Grilled Flat Iron Steak
    Donna Y.

    Came here on a Monday at 7. I ordered the house special as my cocktail and my boyfriend got the lemon fizz martini. Both drinks were excellent. As a started, we had the braised short rib which was seasoned to perfection. We also got the duck confit and steak entree. I have no complaints on the preparation and taste of our entrees were delicious. Absolutely comparable to the north end with the convenience of being in Belmont. The ricotta cheesecake was perfect and the only reason we aren't giving Savinos a 5 Star review is because the service was a bit slow and could have been timed better. With that being said, the service was amazing, the timing was only slightly off.

    PEI Mussels
    Thomas A.

    Thanks to Nift, i came here with my girlfriend. I read that they offer live Jazz on a Thursday night, so that is when I made my dinner reservation. The place wasn't that busy, but it is a neighborhood gem. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My girlfriend and I ate here when they offered their winter dinner seasonal menu. Yes they update their menus by the season, which is great because you can come back and try different foods. The PEI mussels as an app was delicious. The broth was great and I highly recommend using extra bread to absorb the broth. Glad it wasn't sandy either. The Grilled Flat Iron Steak was cooked to a medium (I asked for medium rare), but hey its okay. The steak was okay. Wasn't the best steak i ever ate but it definitely wasn't the worst. What made this dish was the truffle mushroom risotto. It was delectable. The Black Pepper Pappardelle is my girlfriend's fave pappardelle pasta dish around. I thought it was a tad overcooked, but she loved it. It was definitely flavorful. Loved the leeks. The food here was great. The service was great. The chef/owner came by at the end of the night to make sure we enjoyed our dinner, which we did. Wine selection is good too for a reasonable price. Def willing to come back here. Street parking only.

    Bruschetta
    Sinnarith V.

    I really enjoyed my dining experience here! The owner and our server were both very accommodating and the food they served was outstanding! A lot of places can sometimes over cook the steak but at Savinos, they nailed it! My entree was super tasty and satisfying. As was everything else they served. I was a huge fan of the bruschetta! It was beautifully toasted and tasty. The penne was my friends so I didn't get to try it but he did say he really enjoyed it! AS for the pizza yum! A very nice artisan pizza with not too much cheese which I really appreciated! I'm definitely going to be back here for dinner, the ambiance is very relaxing and the food and service definitely is worth experiencing again!

    I went with a friend for the Mother's Day buffet brunch. There were three timed seatings and we…read morewent for the one at noon. There was a bit of a backlog getting in but not a problem. The space is tight for a buffet, and we were glad to just miss being seated right next to where the diners were lining up for the buffet. They seemed to be a bit short-staffed as our server was attending to a section that included two large parties -- one of about 12 and another of 8 -- in addition to the smaller tables including ours. She came as soon as we were seated but only explained we could go up at any time and promised to bring water. We waited for her to return to take our beverage orders but finally grew impatient and got in line for the buffet. The buffet selections were scrumptious--breakfast and lunch options. The chicken and waffles seemed to be the most popular and the tray was empty when I got to it but a new batch arrived momentarily -- thank goodness! Yummy as I expected. I also had scrambled eggs and link sausages. I passed on a few other things like eggs benedict (the last in the tray which is never ideal). In hindsight the ideal time to arrive seemed to be about a half hour after your seating time, as by then the lines to the buffet were minimal (that's when I headed back for seconds). Oh and when I finally got to order my old-fashioned, it was delish. There is an attached parking garage (the red garage) and if you park at the right end of the building you just take the elevator to ground level and the restaurant is a few steps away. I'm not sure I'd return for the special celebration seatings. The price is right but the logistics, seating, slow service and lapse in keeping trays full of hot food would give me pause. On a regular day, however, no contest.

    Our service was absolutely horrible. Waited for a coffee and then got it and then waited another 15…read moreminutes for a creamer. Then as our food came out, it was slow to arrive at the table, so nothing was served together. The biscuits and gravy were dry with not a lot of gravy so we ordered extra gravy and that didn't come to the table until the end of our meal. The gravy was crap. Everything needed salt. On top of the food that showed up being gross, the French toast never showed up until after everyone was finished. They took off half of our meal, but I would not recommend.

They really are fried to perfection. Frituras de Maiz: (10/10): Wow, these fritters are also amazing. They come with such a rich sauce. The fritters are exploding with flavor. Cazuela de Coliflor Asada (9/10): Insanely good dish. The cauliflower has perfect texture, complemented by the pistachios. The sauce is SO good. The cauliflower soaks it up so well. Chicharrones (9/10): Melt in your mouth pork belly. The pork skin crust was perfect. The sauces really make most of the dishes here. This dish is no different - I loved the sauce. Ropa Vieja (9/10): Perfectly slow cooked meat. One thing that really stood out to me was actually the white rice. The rice was VERY high quality, and I appreciated it so much. It's rare to come by rice this good. It had the perfect texture, chew, and fragrance. Ropa Vieja de Hongos (9/10): Pretty much the same as Ropa Vieja above. The mushrooms are delicious, and the dish is just as good whether your order the mushroom or steak version. Empanada del Carne (9/10): Oh man, the crusts are so good. This is pretty on par with the ones I just had in Puerto Rico. Chuletas de Cordero (8/10): The seasoning is heavenly. I was licking the lamb chops clean. Croquetas (8/10): Very solid croquetas. Wouldn't say it's a must-order, but you can't go wrong with them. Costillas a la Guayaba (6/10): The first time I had this it was really nicely marinated, and the rib meat is so tender that it almost falls off the bone. The second time, the meat was dry. Maduros con Tocino (6.5/10): This dish was pretty good, but got overshadowed by the other ones. Pulpo (6.5/10): Octopus was tender and savory. The potatoes were too salty. Camarones a la Plancha (6.5/10): Solid dish, but I enjoyed some other ones even more. Ensalada de Aguacate y Pina (6/10): The salad was a bit too sour, and that sourness overpowered the dish. It was a great blend of ingredients, though. *** and one dessert *** Churros con Chocolate (8.5/10): Big crunchy fluffy churros!! The chocolate sauce is amazing (not really spicy at all).
