Don't get take out, they mess up your order every time. I try to order my favorite salad to go, they always give me the wrong dressing or mess up my order. Really sad because this restaurant has good food but the staff is really unprofessional. read more

After seeing my Yelp review, the owner of Savona's reached out to me and generously offered to buy my dinner from a couple weeks ago, as well as send me a new $50 gift card. I am very impressed with the level of service and look forward to returning for another meal soon. read more

Love, love, love it here. The eggplant Napoleon is delicious. The tiramisu is delirious as well. I will say though, service is often a bit slow but the food is well worth the wait. I will be back again and again. read more

I can't say enough about the great dinner we had at Savona's in Red Hook this evening. Danielle was our server and she was very friendly and professional. We had delicious drinks, barratta, veal franchise, linguine with clam sauce and chef salad. We have dined here many times and always very happy with our servers and food. Clean, friendly and reasonably priced. read more

Having heard good things about Savona's we decided to try it last night. Have to admit was not impressed. Breadsticks were overly chewy and seemed like they'd been frozen and then microwaved. Minestrone was lackluster. Calamari was cooked well but the marinara that came with it was just ok, fairly bland. Linguine with clam sauce was meh...the pasta was al dente but sauce had too much garlic which drowned out the flavors. My partner's shrimp francaise was ok. They used large shrimp which had a bit too much breading for a good francaise, although the sauce he enjoyed. The restaurant was VERY loud making conversation difficult at times. Was it a bad meal...no. Was it great? no. Hard for me to justify this restaurant getting a Best of the Hudson Valley award as there are so many other good to great Italian restaurants (Including Mercado in the same town). read more

Had lunch today. The food was wonderful. Will be going back often. Thanks for opening this restaurant in Red Hook.

We just picked up take out and it was worse than TERRIBLE. The salad was nothing but SLIME all over it, we couldn't eat any of it. The lasagna was like cardboard. Worse take out experience ever. We will NEVER go to Savona's again!!! read more

Great restaurant! Service is always prompt & friendly, the food and atmosphere is the best! It's wonderful to have Savona's in Red Hook !

The food here is not great. The service was ok. My appetizer and entree both felt overpriced for what they were, and the flavors weren't that great. It did not feel like an authentic take on Italian cuisine. My dessert was served in a dish with cream covering up the fact the dessert didn't fill the dish. I'm surprised by the great reviews this place gets; it's pretty mediocre. I miss Francesca's :( read more

Absolutely wonderful experience from the moment I called to reserve a table to the moment we walked out of the door. John is the element every restaurant needs. He is friendly, personable, and has quite the sense of humor. We had a table of 11. They accommodated us with ease. The staff and our waitress (I wish I got her name) were amazing. They were attentive and efficient. Refilling our drinks, bringing out bread, and making sure we were all satisfied. I've been here before and the experience is always the same. Wonderful and beautiful. Oh, and there was an awesome guy doing live music by the bar. Go here :). read more

Water from what was left of the weedy floral arrangements at each table smelled and looked extremely swampy. Seating is ridiculously tight. Tables for two are extremely small-our waitress was not happy because she couldn't fit our pizza on our table and had to remove flowers. I told her "thank you they are a bit smelly" and was told "the florist was due back tomorrow." She just took our vase and put it on half wall directly behind my head with another larger smelly arrangement. Why didn't they remove all vases until florist replenished? Seating is ridiculously tight! Crowded all customers together when the other half of room stayed empty. Couple next to us got the wrong check. Waitress never came back to check on us or ask if we wanted a second beverage or dessert. Just dropped our check on table. read more

Really disappointed here. Have loved their Kingston location and was stoked to go for my recent birthday dinner with family. Appetizer of rice balls: lackluster sauce, seemed out of a can sausage center was super bland and hard. Somehow, didn't have any flavor. First time having tasteless sausage. The stuffed figs were good, but the salad with it was dressed with a dressing that was mostly too much acid. Middle course of their famous soup....wow, under heated, lacked pasta, a few beans in a watery broth. Entree of pasta....rigatoni....not aldente, just undercooked. Same sauce on it....from a jar it seems. The ricotta added flavor but too little. My company had spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta, way undercooked, unseasoned. Meatballs were literally dense balls of meat...no seasoning or flavor. Despite the friendly server this was vastly disappointing. Sometimes opening a second restaurant seems to mean lower quality. Shame. read more

My boyfriend and I have eaten here twice since it opened. We absolutely love it and plan to return often. New Year's eve we had the lobster bisque which was amazing!! If they have it on the menu again, we will have just that for dinner. One reviewer said the seafood risotto serving size was small but I got 2 meals out of it because I had so much left over! The ZUPPA PESCATORE was to die for, HUGE portion and we will DEFINITELY be having it again. Same with the Tiramisu!!! read more

We were visiting our nephew and his husband in Red Hook. We are from Colorado and we really enjoyed Savona's Trattoria! Great food and the home made meatballs and sausage were outstanding. Our server was Danielle and she was so friendly and gracious. We ordered for dessert cannoli and she brought an extra cannoli for us to share. Well done! read more

My mother in law was in town and all she wanted was to go to Savona's in Redhook. We walked in at 7:15. The lady with long blonde hair looked at us funny. She came over and seated us. Then she proceeds to tell us that they close at 8 and they will not rush us out. She was so rude and kept repeating herself. But just so we know for next time. Online it say 9 pm. We waited 10 minutes before our waitress came over. They also seated 3 tables after us and didn't say a word to them. To top it off the ravioli was not cooked all the way. If they close at 8 then they should not seat people after 7pm. She could have been polite about it. That lady made us feel unwanted. read more

On Monday, February 17th, my family and I drove upstate NY to hike up Catskills mountain and returned to our car broken into. Everything valuable was taken, only our clothes left behind. On our way to our Airbnb we got hungry and decided to enter this restaurant but knew we had no cash or card available, due to being robbed. The restaurant was unable to accept ApplePay, but since we knew one of our card information by heart, the team sat us and provided an exceptional service that I will always remember. Working in the hospitality industry, I know that there would have been some concerns about manually entering credit card informations but this amazing team heard our story, showed empathy, and treated us with the most respect. To conclude the night, they even gave us complimentary deserts. It was a sweet ending and if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely return, because not only was the lobster ravioli outstanding, but the team welcomed us in like family. Thank you all for exemplifying what hospitality is all about. read more

Love this place. Great food and atmosphere. Awesome Sunday brunch and all the servers are so pleasant! Highly recommend!

I am really mixed on judging this restaurant. On one hand I would love to give them a 5 star. Food was phenomenal, great service and lovely decor. They bar looked amazing. So the negative? The noise level was unbelievable. Tables to close together. You literally could hear every part of the conversation on both sides but difficult to carry on a conversation at your table and the couples weren't loud. They really need a think about some sound absorbing material. read more

We went this evening and sat outside under the trees in the semi-covered deck. Just beautiful. The service was kindly and quick and solicitous without hovering. Quick a trick,that. The maitre d' was helpful and the owner genuinely interested in our experience. And now to the food: O.M.G. There, that's it. That's all you need to know. Great chef,with great game. And whoever mixed my "Fig Old-Fashioned" cocktail has magic hands; I asked for a spoon so I could fish out the booze soaked pieces of fig after I finished the drink. Yum, just YUM. Very good desserts,too. We'll be back,it's a perfect pre or post movie place to go (The Lyceum is just down the road). Sunday brunch features Jazz, by the way. read more

Great food and great service every time I've been there. I was THRILLED to see they offer the Impossible Burger. You have to try it.

While on vacation (from Buffalo), my family of eight stopped here for dinner. The staff was absolutely lovely! We didn't have a reservation and they found a table immediately. They start you off with these garlic breadsticks that were fabulous, my 16 yr old son had about 6!! Meals come with a salad and their Italian dressing was one of the best I've had in awhile. All eight of us enjoyed our meals. Great meatballs, chicken parmigiana and chicken francese. I would definitely go back again if I'm ever in this area again. read more

I seriously can't recommend this place enough!!! From the moment we celebrated my fiancé's birthday dinner here, we knew this would be our new go to date night spot! Better yet, today we celebrated our engagement party here! We were able to share this fantastic restaurant with our family & friends. The awesome staff (Especially Whitney& Noemi) kept our needs met and questions answered. The staff is incredible! Finally and ultimately, the food was a fantastic experience. Our family and guests couldn't stop raving! This was one brunch we will never forget, and what the perfect place to have it! Thanks for everything! read more

the chicken francese and shrimp scampi are great and so was the ceasar salad the bread sticks were amazing. Only down fall was the appetizer the fried calamari they hardly gave u any. read more

My wife and I stopped by Savona's in Red Hook and loved the food and helping sizes. The waitress was friendly and attentive. A top Italian restaurant in Dutchess County. read more

We had dinner here the other day with friends. It was our first time at Savona's, attracted by the nice - even upscale - setting. The food though was a disappointment. The menu - showing long long lists of dishes to order - should have been a warning. No way a chef can put creativity in so many dishes. This is your regular around-the-corner basic Italian restaurant, presented in a somewhat better setting. If food is not your thing, go there, the portions are plenty. If you want fine Italian dining, worthy of $$$, go somewhere else. read more

The most incredible food in the area. The ambiance is so beautiful, a perfect mix of rustic and modern. Their wine and cocktails are fantastic, food comes out quick. Friendly staff! I can not say enough great things about Savona's of Red Hook. Every special event we have I'm always begging to go there. Most of their pastas are home made (and you can tell!!!). Between the fantastic food and perfectly charming ambiance, it's always an amazing night out at Savonas. read more

We had a thoroughly delightful dinner here on our visit to my husband's old home town of Red Hook. Our hosts had called ahead, the Savona maitre d' greeted us by name, seated us where we could talk comfortably, and the restaurant provided thoroughly delicious food. But the highlight was the charm and friendliness of the bus boy, Patrick. He had just graduated from Red Hook High School, and he and my husband (graduate of 1952) sang every word of the Alma Mater together. (It may have been good that we were in a distant corner!) Our dinner here was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend it. read more

We just made our third visit to the new Red Hook location on New Years Eve. We were regulars at the Kingston location for years and were thrilled to see another location closer to home in Dutchess County. We have never been disappointed, whether we go for lunch or dinner. We are always warmly welcomed, seated and greeted by the wait staff. The entree's are always the best, I usually opt for any veal dish, they are so good that I have trouble choosing. The recent NY Eve visit, I was initially disappointed to see a fixed menu, but Savona's proved me wrong again. I had the pepperoni mozzarella Chicken over angel hair pasta. It was so amazing and more than ample portion that I plan on asking for it on our next visit. My wife had the Lasagna Bolnaise offered on the fixed menu and was equally pleased. Her favorite is usually the Soup de pece, her only note there is the staff should provide a separate bowl for all the discarded muscle shells. What does that tell you? There is an abundance of muscles! So it's a good thing. Can't end without touting the staff especially Lauren who served us NY Eve, given the crowd and the rush of the evening we did not have to look for her or wait for anything. Extremely attentive, and polite. Olivia is also one of our favorite servers for the same reasons. Coming from a former forty year business owner, these two girls are an huge asset to this fine establishment. Highly recommend Savona's. read more

bright and airy atmosphere. great service. good food. Better than the branch at Kingston's. read more

Had dinner at Savona's in Red Hook, and it was much better than the rather standard Italian menu might lead you to expect. First off, the Chef's Special menu contained some rather original, off-the-beaten-path selections. More importantly, the ingredients in all of our dishes were fresh, and everything was expertly prepared. I had diver's scallops over cannelli beans, an interesting twist on the usual rice or potato accompaniment. The bacon in the beans combined especially nicely with the perfectly cooked scallops. My wife had the tagliatelle with sausage, chicken and shrimp in a tomato cream sauce. The pasta and all the meats were perfectly cooked, including the shrimp, and the sauce was nicely flavored but not overpowering so you could distinctly taste each of the ingredients. Even the dinner salads also were very good, containing a nice mixture of fresh greens with no iceberg lettuce, though the balsamic vinaigrette dressing was a little on the vinegar side for my taste. Full bar is available, and the drinks were competently prepared. Wine list is limited, but good enough so you can find something that will suit your taste and work with your meal, and the mark up is reasonable. read more

every time we come here for family dinners it never disappoints. when we come for date nights - our favorite bartender is Morgan. she is always inviting and welcoming - since she has left it's just not the same. read more

Was there this past Saturday night! Very busy had reservations for six people. We were seated within 10 minutes. Service was great for a very busy night and new in town. We all enjoyed our dinners, except for the penne pasta, it was very starchy, overcooked, and cold. Veal an chicken parm was delicious! We will definitely go back an ask for pasta to be aldente! Salads were great, bread sticks, desert! We wish them much luck in Red Hook, use to go to the Kingston one, but the is much closer. read more
