Great Italian food! Took some friends and everyone loved it! Super nice staff. Excellent place

While in Hudson for the weekend, we stopped into Savona's on our last day. We wanted to get some lunch before hitting the road home. Didn't have a reservation but it was the middle of the afternoon so we were able to get a table right away. We were sat in a back room which is part of the dining room. It was a little small but it appeared that there was another dining area downstairs. Bernie was our server and super nice. She quickly came over with breadsticks which was a happy surprise! We ended up splitting the Gorgonzola Stuffed Figs -- small bits for sure, but good for sharing. We also ordered the baked clams oreganata which was my favorite. I typically don't go out of my way for a Cosmo but started out with Ceil's Pear Cosmo - it was SO good. For dessert, I ordered their Valentine's special which was a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini. This didn't hit the mark for me with the strawberry chunks. I wish I had ordered another pear Cosmo. Savona's was not the overall vibe I wanted for Valentine's Day dinner so I am glad we came here the day after for lunch. This would be a great place for a big family dinner! Wait staff including Bernie were all super friendly. read more

Was in the area and craving some Italian. Came on a Tuesday night. Seated right away. Staff friendly and attentive. However, messed up on one of the entrees twice. Food was good but not enough to get me to come back. read more

I found this place for the last night family dinner in Hudson. Again, it was tough to factor in everyone's dietary restrictions. But this place had a large menu, had a dog-friendly patio, and could accommodate 8 people without making us do some weird pre fixe menu. For entrees, my husbad got the Porco pizza which he liked. The vegan-ish and his wife split a veggie pizza and a salad. My MIL got a filet mignon salad and when they brought it out initially, the steak was a perfect mid-rare but she wanted it cooked more so they re-fired the steak to a more medium-well/well-done. My BIL got the bolognese with penne but they brought it out with fettucine so he had it sent back and swapped out for penne. My BIL got the classic chicken franchese which he really enjoyed but it was a lot for him. My FIL got the spaghetti special so I'm not sure what was in it and he can't remember what it was called. He inhaled it so I think he liked it. I got the seafood risotto which was good but I there was a lot of lobster cream sauce. Overall, it was a good place with an extensive menu and friendly service. It was a busy night so make a reservation. read more

Love Savona's! We live in NJ but visit this area 2-3 times a year and always make sure we can dine at Savina's while we're here. Ambiance is lovely. Outdoor dining in the summer is perfect. Food is consistently delicious. For Valentines Day they had a regular menu and a special menu so you weren't forced into expensive food. The wait staff is great! Very attentive. read more

Savonas was recommended to me by family in the area as a great red sauce joint. Cool little spot, food was great as well as the service. Very nice dinner. read more

We chose after looking at the menu and because of the outdoor dining option. We started with the Baked Gorgonzola Stuffed Fig. I love figs, prosciutto and Gorgonzola and it was a good choice. The combo worked - highly recommended! For entrees we had veal parm, Cod Francese and a Hot Honey pepperoni pizza. The parm looked good and our friend liked it-huge portion. The pizza was good and loaded with pepperoni. Crust and thickness good-but it could have used a little more oven time. Cod was moist and with a nice sauce and sides of mashed potatoes and spinach. Prices are good. Service was bit lacking though-we had to ask for several things multiple times. read more

Disappointing "Margherita" -- Tiny Size and Poor QualityI ordered a large Margherita pizza today and was highly disappointed. For nearly $19, the "large" pie was incredibly small, looking more like a basic bar pie than a standard large pizza. To make matters worse, it was not a true Margherita. It completely lacked fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. The basil wasn't fresh either and actually had brown spots in it. I don't mind paying for good food, but this was a major letdown in both size and quality. read more

So to be fair, we always try and give a place a second chance... often even a 3rd.... last time the food was not cooked well at all.... that could be because of many reasons. So we tried again.... tonight the food was good... but the service was horrible.... if you are the waitress who just got a $2.50 tip on 198.50... know that you would have got a minimum of 50 if you were even half way attentive. We had not seen you for 10 minutes prior to our dinners coming out, and 20 minutes after we finished eating g I had to go to the bar to order some to go food because we still had not seen you. You told us you were bringing more bread... guess what never showed. We definitely would have stayed for desserts also , but wanted to be home before midnight. It's not even like it was that busy. Our waitress just disappeared as we sat waiting for boxes and our bill and decided on desserts somewhere else.... service is half of the expierence of eating out.... and well.... this place fell way short on that. read more

My wife and I got off a Hudson River Boat and this place is directly across the street, what a Gem. We ordered the Waterfront Salad, the FICO Pizza, and each had a delicious cocktail. The garlic sticks that came with our meal was to die for. Our waitress Marie did a Fantastic job taking care us. No pic of the Amazing Salad, sorry. Highly Recommend. read more

The food is excellent. The service is spectacular. Ambiance is relaxing and not rushed.

Delicious mixed drink if only it had alcohol in it. Lovely server. Nice atmosphere. Every dish laden with oil or sauce and no flavor.

Great place. Friendly staff, charming atmosphere and food and drinks imaginative and good value.

Meh. Small portion, oversalted. Service wasn't bad. Prices are reasonable, but the meal was average.

Very nice Italian American dining experience. The food was great. We started with Caesar salad with added anchovies. The layered lasagna was delicious and the filet Marsala was cooked to perfection. Service was fine. Portions are rather large, but I understand that's what customers seem to expect. read more

Savona's - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Hudson, New York

First thing: we ordered off the specials menu and then were told oh--wrong menu, we're out of that. Then we noticed that every other table for bread and when I said something the waitress overheard me and came over to say since I have a dairy allergy & they have butter she was having them make special bread. Fine--but what she brought was just plain toasted bread. She only brought it because she heard me fine. My chicken sandwich was fine but the fries--bland. Not salted & soggy. The fried chicken sandwich was overly fried and lacked something fresh--possibly the garnish of lettuce it was on? Finally, the soda was so watered down. We didn't say anything but when the waitress came to ask if we wanted another she also said she had noticed it was weak & they were changing it. She never brought a new one. So...meh on service. Food was okay. Nothing terrible but nothing great. read more

We had a large group for a family gathering. Wednesday wine was half price! The food was delicious. Service was acceptable. I would return. read more

I really enjoyed the meal here. I felt it was one of the better restaurants of recent memory. Good dinner proportion felt generous but healthy and a desert worth for the share. Compliments. read more

I've tried so, so hard to like this place but it disappoints every...single...time..... Aside from the food temperature being tepid at best, it's pretty flavorless. I've had much better Stouffers frozen lasagne, pizza or meatballs. The cocktails are good- I'll give them that much. The most ANNOYING part of the experience is sitting at the bar trying to relax but feeling like you're sitting in the staff break room. Actually they NEED a break room. I don't want to sit there with 6 staff members just loitering around the bar on their phones, gossiping and sharing every intimate detail about their personal lives. BEYOND unprofessional. Take it somewhere else, kids. I'm paying too much money for mediocre food and then listening to your drama on top of it. I never recommend this place to anyone. read more

While in Hudson, NY we stopped in to this establishment. To tell you the truth thr smell of the food lured us in- THANK GOD!! We started with thr eggplant tower for appetizer. It was fried eggplant and it was so light, you would not know it was fried!! Thr tower had fresh mozzarella, pesto and some type of cream sauce. Delicious !! For lunch we had the salad, it was fried crunchy chicken with salad that had hard blooded egg, hearts, Kalamata olives, re onions and very home made dressing. It was huge, def for two people to share. Now let's get to the drinks, I had a pear martini and hubs got jack n coke. My drink was soooo delish, you could taste pear nectar and it was nice and strong!! Over all place was great, simple yet elegant decor and air conditioning!!! Lol. Definitely stop here when in Hudson, NY read more

We hadn't tried this restaurant since it supplanted a wonderful Lebanese eatery that closed in the pandemic. We were cheerfully greeted and seated in a nicely appointed dining area and noted an outdoor area as well. We were thankful to be inside as it was a hot and steamy evening. We started with cocktails which we selected from among a number of unique choices. A blood orange martini and a Savona old-fashioned were our favorites. The restaurant provided some tasty bread, which was unusual in that it appeared to be coated with oil and seasonings. For appetizers we had an antipasto and a Burrata Caprese. The latter was extraordinary, the former was very good, but not great. All of our entrées were well prepared and generous portions. My personal favorite was the Zuppa Pescatore, which was spiced to order. Desserts of NY cheesecake and Cannolis were quite good. Service was very friendly though occasionally spotty. Overall an excellent dining experience! read more

Service was good. Eggplant parm rubbery needed a knife to cut through it. Not ideal. Cold pasta with warm sauce on top.

Terrible service. Customers walking out from no employee acknowledging them (dine in/takeout) Ask for breadsticks otherwise you won't get them. Servers can't find silverware. Servers are not sanitary. No handwashing or gloves. Health Inspectors coming soon. read more

Food: 3/5 Vibe: 3/5 Service: 6/5 Our experience here was just okay. It was extremely loud and packed on a Saturday night. We ordered the hot pepperoni pizza and lobster ravioli. Both were decent- nothing we're in a rush to eat again. We also ordered the chocaltismo for dessert. Again, it satisfied the craving but was perfectly average. The highlight of the evening was our server, Kat. She was super attentive, kind, and helpful despite the fact that it was crazy busy and she must've had a dozen things to keep track of at once. For the excellent service only, I would come back here to enjoy a drink and/or an unpretentious meal. read more

Can eat at bar or alongside plus tables in two back areas and for warmer weather outside seating. Has a full bar and many tap beers. Staff are friendly and helpful. Many assorted dishes to choose from. I had a fantastic unusual eggplant and linguine dish that was delicious. The eggplant was cut up and mixed into the pasta with an outstanding red marinara sauce. The two ladies split a delicious bottle of red cabinet wine with a pasta and clams in white sauce and a shrimp scampi. Definitely a place to return to. read more

Delicious food and friendly service. Never thought I'd enjoy pears on a pizza, but I'm glad I tried it!

savona's was phenomenal! charming atmosphere. one of the best soups served with incredibly delicious bread sticks with oil and spices for dipping. the rabe pizza was fabulous! i wish i lived near one of their 4 locations - i'd love to try the entire menu. simply cannot recommend highly enough. service was perfect, too. read more

The bar area of the restaurant had a lovely ambiance, and the service was fast and friendly. My salad could have used more dressing/seasoning, but my friend loved her GF flatbread. They are very accommodating to people with GF needs. My special Bloody Mary was missing some of the ingredients described on the menu, and the bacon wrapped shrimp was cold and tough. I would return, but would try some different menu items. read more

A prior conworker and I enjoyed a lovely Friday lunch on the patio. The decor is classic and polished and the patio has two levels with plenty of shade. The service was prompt and professional. We could have filled up on the complimentary breadsticks bathed in olive oil and herbs. I had a non alcoholic Spritz and my gf a tequila coctail, both refreshing. My spinach and shrimp salad was fresh. The dressing was just enough portion and the shrimp slightly charred. The pizza had a light burn on the bottom which I appreciate. Not too much cheese, not heavy. I will def make the hour drive back to Warren Street for a dinner event. read more

When I tell you I dream about the mozzarella sticks, I'm not funning you. They are unbelievably fresh and so incredibly delicious. The entrees are delish, too! The service...muah! There are multiple Savona's sites (I've been to Kingston and Red Hook), and there's no doubt that Hudson is the best! read more

They have Excellent food, service & atmosphere. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ah-mazing... I ate every bite and I seldomly do. I had the lemoncello martini and the Lemoncello Salmon entree at lunch .. I see a trend.. but Wow. The cheese/ meat board for an appetizer was better than expected. You taste the difference of the imported pepperoni and the rest was of the same quality. Great vibe and service. Wish I got our waitress' name because she was sweet and attentive. I'll be back for sure. read more

Food price / quality (value) rating 9.5. We've been here at least five or six times now. Every visit has been a very good experience. The best part is that the prices here have not gone crazy like most places. Everything was very reasonably priced, drinks, dessert, sandwiches. The GM, Dana, was very "hands-on" when it came to making customers happy, including choosing a fantastic contemporary jazz playlist, and our server, Kendra, was very attentive. I had the Grilled Chicken and Pear sandwich which was excellent, large, and well presented, and the fries (thin, hand cut) were cooked very well done as ordered! The wife had the Eggplant Parmesan and said it was excellent. They offer a limited, but well chosen, selection of draught beer. For dessert, I had their VERY UNIQUE PUMPERNICKEL Bread Pudding with vanilla ice cream. Excellent!!! The wife had the Cannolis, which were very crispy as they were freshly filled. The owners of this restaurant also have three other "Savona" locations, one of which we've been to (Red Hook) and were very happy. I give this place a rare "rave review"! read more

The patio out back was perfect for a lovely fall lunch. The basil limoncello spritz was light and refreshing. We highly recommend the baked rigatoni and nonna's Sunday sauce. Large portions and great flavor. We were visiting from out of town and my husband stated if this place was back in our hometown it would be our favorite Italian restaurant. Our server was very sweet and attentive as well. read more

The pasta dishes were good, the service could have been better, the waiter was not very attentive. We went for long durations without checking on our water or to see if we needed anything else. The two types of bread they had, break sticks and regular sliced bread were terrible. To balance with the good pasta dishes, why don't they have rustic artisan bread? So because of the service and the bread I can only rate them a 3 out of 5. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service, fair prices. Nice crowd. We highly recommend Savona's!
