As you would expect being a modern Italian restaurant, all the decor was on point & immaculate. They use the new cube service boxes on each table which also acts as ambient, romantic lighting. Pink floral decorations on the back wall surrounding the restaurants' sign were beautiful. The server asked if we wanted French or English, & his English was perfect. His energy was bubbly, kind, & attentive. We got appetizers to start which consisted of the platter & the bruschetta. Bruschetta was not what do you thinkthe bruschetta tomato salsa but actually I had a piece covered in a goat & pistachio mix & another piece with miniature bocconcini covered in pesto sauce. FANTASTIC! What an unexpected flavour surprise. We also ordered the Burrata Pizza & classic penne vodka. Both were absolutely heavenly delicious. If I had to make one criticism it would be that for the price, the penne was small in portion. Other than that if you have a chance to go to Savini…GO! Our dinner cost $122 cdn. & that included two gin & tonics. Thank You!

First time in Quebec City & randomly stumbled upon this place. An unforgettable experience at this Italian restaurant in Quebec City! From the warm welcome to the attentive service, everything was perfect. Merci à Sam, Tally & Amélie pour leur gentillesse, leur professionnalisme & pour avoir rendu notre soirée si spéciale. The food was absolutely delicious - authentically Italian, fresh, & beautifully presented. Une combinaison parfaite entre confort & gastronomie. This is without a doubt one of my top recommendations in Quebec City - un incontournable pour tous ceux qui aiment la cuisine italienne de qualité avec un service exceptionnel.

My husband & I chose to have our last dinner of our vacation at Savini based on all of the glowing reviews. Unfortunately, this wasn't a good choice. The atmosphere is fantastic however, so if you are not concerned about the quality of the food or service, by all means- this is your place. We were seated outside & greeted by a waitress who took our drink orders- a diet coke for my husband & an Aperol Spritz for me. I found it disappointing that an Italian restaurant would not have an Italian red by the glass on the menu. It took almost 20 minutes (it was not busy outside where we were sitting) for our drinks to come & our order to be taken. My husband had the Penne Alla Vodka & & I had the Gnocchi with the pesto cream sauce. A runner from the kitchen is who delivered our food. My first bite of the Gnocchi was a salt bomb- I couldn't believe how salty the sauce was. The Gnocchi was overcooked & gummy. My husband's penne alla vodka was a smooth (& tasted canned) sauce. For $29, it seems strange that the sauce did not contain onions or pancetta (this I get is optional based on taste)- hard to sell it as a true vodka sauce. I was incredibly disappointed in our meal. Not once did the waitress stop to check on us. We finished our meal & I pressed the pay button on the table light. The waitress came to ask if we wanted our bill & then disappeared for another 20 minutes. We don't often eat out for Italian food because when we can make it better at home, it's a waste of money. When we choose to, we do expect it to be good. Especially at $30/plate. Why? For what? Pasta with no protein in it &/or pasta that is not homemade should never cost this much.

If you are thinking of having a meal here- or pasta at least because I can't speak to their other dishes- skip it & find somewhere else.

I hope that this review helps someone else avoid being disappointed by a meal here. I really wanted to love it & the quality was subpar at best.

If you're somewhat of a foodie - just don't do it...

I should have known better by the breadth of the menu alone. This is a tourist restaurant & there are so many good places to dine in Quebec City if you dig a little deeper.

The calamari was over battered; we ate 20% of it & left it alone. The Margherita pizza crust was way over prescribed & the base crust so thin it was floppy & hard to cut with a knife & fork - no integrity at all. The sauce so over powering that the buffalo mozzarella was simply texture.

For an Italian restaurant to fail with a Margherita pizza is says it all.

The salmon was dry & required the sauce served with it; the side pasta served with it was decent but a 5oz piece of salmon with a side of butter lemon pasta for $38?

The Polpette on the other hand was excellent & the negroni decent.

There was zero in the way of a table check to see if we were enjoying our meal - we would have sent the calamari back but we ordered everything to come at once.

If you own this place - do better... because you're not about the food & you should be embarrassed based on our experience.

We sat on the patio which was lovely with the classical guitarist playing nearby. Best part of the experience.
