Oh my goodness! Despite the pandemic, this place knocks it out of the part. Limited menu for curbside pickup--the order was ready exactly on time. We had caprese for an appetizer--delicious stacks of fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with basil. The tomatoes were actually pretty good for this time of year. For dinner we had entrees of wild mushroom ravioli and fettuccini bolognese. The home made pasta is so good. The sauces are so good. This is as good as dining gets during the quarantine. Enjoy! read more

Nice place in Somerville. Good food. Good service. Fair prices. Be sure if splitting the tab to ask the waiter to create separate checks. I recommend. read more

This past Sunday I had my bridal shower at Savor and I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! After having to postpone my shower from last year, they made the process so incredibly painless and smooth. Every question we had (and we had a lot!) they were extremely informative and easy to work with. Everyone at the party raved about the delicious food and talked about how attentive the staff was. The day could not have gone better and after a very stressful year, this was the perfect day I had been waiting for! Thank you so much Savor! read more

Visited the restaurant for a team lunch. The ambience and customer service is excellent. We ordered the eggplant stack and savor salad for the table. Decent dishes. They are not as fancy as described in the menu with the ingredients. We had the new english cod, salmon, chicken scarpiello for the entrees. Fresh fish and meat. Flavorful sauce with soft rice and sautéed vegetables. read more

I went to Savor with my boyfriend for a Friday date night. It's BYOB, which is nice (saves you a little money, since the menu isn't cheap). We shared the crab cake to start, which was really good. For dinner, he had the NY sirloin steak, accompanied by mashed sweet potatoes and veggies, and I had the seafood pasta. At $31 for the pasta, my expectations were high. The pasta was homemade and in a delicious red sauce. It also had tons of mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp - totally worth it! I'd highly recommend this place and would definitely go back. read more

Savor in Somerville NJ fuses Italian, Spanish, French and American cuisines. The interior is fairly small but elegantly appointed and easy on the eyes in a conservative generic theme. The menu has many classic dishes (e.g. Chicken Francaise, Veal Millanese, etc ...) and very succulent specials. Both the classic dishes and the specials were excellent as were the appetizers and desserts. The service was excellent with the perfect combination of personality and professionalism. Savor is BYOB and the menu prices are extremely easy on the wallet. I highly recommend this as a regular stop for dinner groups, dates, or if you just don't feel like cooking one night. read more

Savor continues to put out phenomenal Italian / American fusion foods. Their home made pastas are some of the best I've eaten and their desserts are home made by their head chef. Come check out this absolutely amazing restaurant in the heart of Somerville! read more

So inviting and great seating, but the food was down-right terrible. So disappointing! Dined there last night, and I will never be returning. Each of our $12 appetizers were nearly inedible. Bacon wrapped scallops were a scary mix of over and under cooked. Crab cake tasted straight out of the freezer. My mix green salad had a healthy dose of walnuts and cranberrys, but the mozzarella was not so hot. The dressing was basically pink syrup. My companion's $23 (?!?!?!) penne vodka with chicken again seemed right of the freezer and into the mircowave. He's a guy who will scape his plate but he didn't bother finishing or even getting the leftovers to go. The dinner rolls: at true abomination. The first was ROCK HARD. Could not even cut it open with a knife - it just shattered, spraying us both with crumbs. The 2nd, a rasin rolls, looked moldy. I wondered how many other diners had rejected those rolls, only to have them recycled for us. At nearly $70 including tip, it was an incredible disappointment. We won't be back. read more

I don't understand why this place gets so many negative reviews. My husband and I were looking for a place to host an event and we came across to this restaurant. We tried it for lunch before inquiring the party packages options and we were impressed with their food and service. Robert, the manager was very friendly and helpful, we sat with him right after lunch and discuss the options that we were looking for and he was very accommodating. The day of the event all of our guests enjoyed their food, we were able to bring our own bottles of liquor and the waiters were attentive and precise with everything we have asked for at the time we signed the contract. We've been back after the event we hosted at Savor and the food never disappoints. Base in our experiences this place deserves 5 stars. Highly recommend it! read more

Had an early dinner here with family. The food was good, but pretty expensive for what it was - although the portions were fairly large. Service was great and friendly. Love the location and atmosphere. Not the greatest meal I've ever had, but a solid dinner. Might try lunch on the patio next time. read more

Not sure why only two stars. My wife and I had lunch here today. Food, service, atmosphere, price; everything was very good. I'd definitely go back. read more

This was my first time here. I dined alone on Father's Day. First, I enjoyed awesome homemade Gnocchi with Pesto. The gnocchi melts in your mouth and the pesto was not heavy- it coated the pasta well. During the summer, I dined outside. The server/host was attentive and friendly. The homemade tiramisu was fluffy, flavorful and plated well with 4 corner puffs of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon. I will bring my wife here for a date night. However, it's on the pricey side to bring a family of five here. What an awesome experience. read more

Love that this is BYOB. The pastas are all homemade and delicious. Can't wait to go back!

I was wavering between three and four stars so I asked myself "Will I come back the next time I'm in the area?" and my answer was no, so three stars it is. It wasn't that I had a bad meal, it's just that there wasn't anything special about it. The rolls were fresh and warm (check), the Caesar salad was perfect (check), and the cheesecake was delicious (check)...so why only three stars? It's because my main lamb chop dish was underwhelming. I received four small lamb chops (tasty, but not enough) with undercooked potatoes that my eating companion also received, so it just wasn't an exciting meal. If they had given one or two more chops, and had the potatoes been cooked more, this could have easily been a four star review. I do appreciate the fact that our server offered to dress up my cheesecake with raspberry sauce after I asked if they could throw some fruit on it, and they are brand new so I'm sure they're working out the kinks, but there are a lot of restaurants to choose from in this area so the next time I'm on business I'll try somewhere else. Savor was a-ok, nothing more. read more

Tried this restaurant for the 1st time; saw it mentioned on-line. It has very nice atmosphere and excellent service. But, the food was not so enjoyable to me. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi thinking it would be delicious. Unfortunately, the shrimp were so very salty that I could barely eat them. And, the pasta that accompanied the shrimp were swimming in a buttery sauce; way too much sauce. I always finish my meal (or take home leftovers), but in this case, I was unable to handle the saltiness. On a good note, the salad special was very good and the dessert (almond cheesecake) was delicious. I might decide to try it again, but I will not order the Shrimp Scampi. read more

First visit for lunch today. Good service, good food, moderate prices, BYO. We will be going back for more of the menu. Not likely that it will beat out Cafe Picasso for Italian food but worth a try. What impressed me most about Savor was the selection of starters - raw bar, apps, salads. Lots of options. We split an order of the mussels which were very good. My wife had the salmon for her main course - a nice sized piece of fish, cooked properly. She thought that the lemon-caper sauce could have been better. I had the fettucini with sausage, basil, etc which was good as well. The fettucini needed a few more seconds to be properly al dente. Excellent tiramisu for dessert, a big portion - more than enough for the two of us. Music was something pop. Much quieter than Cafe Picasso which has an open kitchen. Worth a try if you are in the Somerville area. read more

I tried Savor for the first time after hearing some really good things about it. The atmosphere was truly enjoyable, modern, warm, dark, but not too dark. We had a party of 7 and were promptly seated on a Friday night. I ordered the Salmon Dijonaise, which was absolutely delicious. One of the best salmon dishes I've ever had. It was fairly pricy though, at about $25, so that's where I had to deduct a star. I tasted the Veal milanese that my mom had ordered, also very delicious. Overall, fantastic little establishment, very flavorful food, but not the best on the wallet. read more

Last Saturday morning I arrived at Savor only to find that they were closed for a private event. I went there with my sons and wife to celebrate her birthday. I checked their Web site to see when they opened; it showed an 11:30 opening, but no mention of being closed for a private event. I even called at 10:30 am to verify their opening, but no one answered. To add insult to injury, when I challenged the hostess that their Web site showed that they were open, she responded that there was a sign posted in front of the restaurant. I live near Princeton; how was I to know that? read more

Savor is a delicious restaurant with great prices! I find myself eating here once a week with my friends. My favorite dish is the orecchiette with the Italian sausage. Delicious! I have also tried the eggplant stack which is amazing. My friends and I really enjoy eating lunch here and have yet to be disappointed with their food or service. I highly recommend this place if you want a great meal with great prices!! The only reason I am giving the restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because their menu could be expanded to feature a few more main lunch entrees. read more

Savor Restaurant - New American Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

The first time I tried to dine here, they were completely booked and suggested I make a reservation so I did that next time. The good : Location is excellent , right in the heart of downtown Somerville . They also have outdoor seating available. Ambiance is nice. Service was good . No issues there. That's where it stops for me though . The food was mediocre at best. Everything I ordered I could prepare much better myself. I had a spicy shrimp appetizer that tasted like the shrimp were simply tossed in hot sauce. I had ribs for my entree which were dry and there was nothing unique about the flavor of the sauce. This place has potential but the food needs to be improved. FYI- this is a BYOB restaurant. read more

First time at Savor yesterday and really enjoyed it. Had the eggplant stacker, meatballs and Sambuca shrimp for appetizer. For dinner we had salmon and blackened chicken. Everything was great! The service was fine, nothing exceptional. The quality and freshness of the food definitely stood out! read more

Food at best is Okay! Terrible dining experience! Waited over 35 minutes for meal with no contact from waiter. When voiced are displeasure waiter replied that we were wrong. No apologies. Waiter develops an attitude totally unprofessional put our plates down abruptly and neglected to check up on our dinner. Never asked if we needed anything else and when the check came he told us to keep our tip ,that we needed it more ! Informed the manager of our waiting with no response. No I'm sorry, no nothing from the Manager. Bill came and waiter said don't leave tip and was rude making a scene and put his fingers to his lips saying good bye. Totally disrespectful and unprofessional! Poor service and poor management to ruin a Friday evening out to dinner. First time a disappointing meal in Somerville, NJ. read more

Food and Service was excellent. The home made pasta is amazing. It is a byob so that is a bonus. A little pricey though. Dinner for 2 with tip, 2 soups and a shared dessert was $103.00 even though byob. Nice place for a special occasion! read more

5 stars! This is the perfect date night spot. I had the mushroom stuffed raviolis and my date had the scallops I believe! We had no reservation and were seated right away in the beautiful ambiance outside. The server was very attentive and deserved more than then the standard 20% tip. Will definitely be back! read more

Really amazing Italian food and great size portions. Wonderful service and great prices. Great BYOB in Somerville and wonderful dessert too! I got a shrimp salad and it was once. The eggplant stack and artichoke appetizer was amazing too. Will definitely be back. read more

I had the Rigatoni Vodka and my boyfriend had the Parmesan Encrusted Chicken. For the appetizer we had the Caprese and for dessert we split a Cannoli. All food that hit the table was great. Pastas are made in house and the cannoli was homemade. For all of that it came out to about $65 which wasn't too bad. The service was great. Everything came out very quickly and the our waitress was very attentive. We will definitely be back and trying more of the pastas and desserts. read more

We wanted to book a table for nine (9) of us on Mother's Day. There was nothing available unless we opted for a 3:30P seating, which was fine. The waiter was very experienced and patient, but the kitchen was extremely slow. We didn't eat until well past 5:00P. My wife was very pleased with the Savory salad, and also the salmon. My son LOVED the Chicken Francais. My scallops were lukewarm and forgettable. Not worth $29. read more

Excellent food, consistently good. Pastas are the best. Scallops and Cod dishes are excellent.

Would definitely recommend Savor! The food is really great and BYOB is a plus as well! Would highly recommend the pesto gnocchi and eggplant stack as an appetizer. A very comfortable atmosphere and pleasant dining experience! read more

I find it difficult to pick a favorite dish. Well worth the time to visit, grab a bottle fro Discover wines down the road, tell them where you're eating and prepare for a nice surprise. I won't tell you the off menu cause I am greedy. BUT there are no bad choices read more

In town on business to I stopped in based on Yelp reviews. All in all, not a BAD place but not quite was I expecting. Food was good but almost forgettable. The service was a little slow but not inattentive. I went with all appetizers to get a sample of what they offer & they were...ok. I would probably not be back based on price & better tasting options in the area. read more

I went to Savor for the first time for and early dinner with a friend after reading mostly positive reviews. I was disappointed with the food and there was horrible pop music playing rather loudly. I asked the waiter if something different could be played; he said it was satellite radio and could not be changed, so offered to turn it down instead which we took him up on. I ordered gnocchi with pesto and a house salad. The salad was ok but overdressed, and the gnocchi somewhat gummy in texture and the pesto essentially tasteless and under seasoned. We were served bread which was mediocre and not warm. The waiter was nice enough and service was good (it was early for dinner and we were the only customers in the place at that time), but that alone is not enough to draw me back and I will not return to see if perhaps we just hit the place on an off night. read more

Located in the small downtown on main street is Savor. Here is what you need to know.... Beer & wine only no distilled drinks Sausage and pasta was quite tasty Salad was ok Small outdoor seating Friendly service Decent value All in all, just ok, nothing memorable. read more

Just perfect. Went in for lunch and had salad in mind. Great selection of salads with creative ingredients. Had the one with pears and added grilled shrimp. Everything was fresh and delicious. The waiter was very prompt and attentive. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Desserts looked good but we were too full. read more

Very nice service but the food is very mediocre at best - more chicken dishes than anything else on the menu and the steak was poor quality meat (chewy) with diner-like veggies poorly done and cooked. They took it off the bill which was very kind but neither management nor kitchen ever bothered asking what the problem was. They can't care less. My guess is the chef has no clue what s/he's doing in there. read more

Excellent food taste. I had the shellfish pasta and it was outstanding. The best restaurant in the area. I only give 5 stars to the best restaurants in the USA. There is nothing I would take away a star for. Service was very good. Atmosphere very nice. read more

Lamb chops and steak were amazing, service was great and it's BYOB!

Bountiful, delicious portions! Got the Zuppa de Pesce and asked for it to be made spicy and was perfect! Not only spicy but flavorful and what an abundance of seafood and great quality. My boyfriend got the crab cakes and is a big fan of them and these hit the mark! Great value with nice ambiance and option for outdoor seating which is always nice. Highly recommend. read more

Mussel appetizer was good. Waiter completely forgot my French onion soup so didn't get to enjoy that. Waited over an hour for entree at 9:00 pm. Service was absolutely horrific for fine dining. read more
