Beautiful on the inside, sooo cozy and inviting, with fresh red roses at every table. Our server was amazing, our appetizers were AMAZING, and our main course did not disappoint. I am disappointed, however, in some of the lower rated reviews on here- don't listen to them! This is a 5 star restaurant by far! Highly Highly recommend! We will be back!

Was pretty disapointed in my small sausage and onion pizza I purchased on my to go order yesterday for lunch I should have looked at it before I paid, 1st off don't place a hot pizza on paper and then slice as it sticks to the paper and we all know what happens? Yes it sticks then u have to peal the paper off, next the sausage was presliced meaning it was either left over from the night before or older yuk no good and there were only about 10 or 11 slices and and that's no good, not good pizza and the sauce was pretty bland also. Liz u have a nice place but since u weren't there when I arrived

This was my first experience here and WOW this food is so so so delicious! The calamari, the pizza, the pasta, the desert - everything was to die for! It’s such a quaint and romantic atmosphere, as well. I will absolutely 100% be coming back here again. I’ve always heard wonderful things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint!

First time being at this restaurant. My boyfriend heard and seen great reviews while looking for a restaurant for my birthday. Had Caesar salad to start, which was somewhat ok. I just know you don’t use iceberg lettuce for Caesar salad….Followed with Bruschetta which mine is waaay better. Had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Just some tomatoes slapped on bread, garnished with cheese and toasted. It was not the Bruschetta I’m extremely familiar with. Finished with Lobster Ravioli, and I just couldn’t finish it. Alfredo sauce was decent, but was not a fan of the Lobster at all. My boyfriend

Sometimes in life you find yourself in a small local restaurant and you get blown away. Tonight was one of those moments for me. I was invited to a dinner with friends at Savellis. I read the other reviews and was skeptical.
I was going to go 4 stars at first but then we got desert. So first off, the service was phenomenal. The food was incredible and the desert was off the charts delicious. All around fantastic experience.
My only issue was the parking. However, this is not the restaurants fault. They are in a growing area and land locked by businesses. I eventually found a spot street side

Total of $21.84 for fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, take out order, no utensils, just a plastic bag and what is in the photo.
We waited in the entrance, a lady appear and just ask us for the name, after that just placed our to go order in a table and said sign here and you are good to go and she left (for the place I thought they will be more friendly attentive style).
Flavor wasn’t nice for us, the cheese is so strong that left us a bad taste afterwards. Some shrimps not peeled well.
We have been in Italy and this wasn’t our flavor memories.

You walk in and see curtains. No waiting room or lobby at all. No hostess. Just stood and waited for someone to come help us. However no one did. Other patrons at another table said to go ahead and pick a seat and sit ourselves. The seating is very close barely in your room to get around that tightly fit tables and chairs and a small dining area with more hanging curtains to divide areas. It felt very shady and I was getting ready to say let's leave. Someone came to our table she had her drink order. She was very nice and introduced herself. Found out that her mom owned the restaurant and it's

I don't even like Italian and this place is amazing. Amazing food, amazing service, quiet and cozy (romantic, even) location. Get a reservation because you don't want to be waiting! (Besides, there's literally zero waiting area.) There's not too much parking, so expect to be flexible in that regard.
It's BYOB for alcoholic beverages, but they do have normal non-alcoholic drinks available, including some more "Italian-style" beverages. The specials were written on the wall in two places as well as given on the nightly paper add-in, and desserts... Don't get me started. Again, not a huge dessert
