Wonderful experience here. Stopped in Mid-afternoon for late lunch. We sat at bar and were served by the lovely Ainsley. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable. She made great suggestions which allowed us to try new things. The bolognase was a surprise, (home made)and the Mediterranean pizza very unique – Rich base sauce, not overly topped so all the ingredients made for a wonderful meal. Although only visiting the area, we would certainly return to this restaurant if passing through again.

We came in for the wine pairing and 5 course menu featuring Chef Derrick Wade. I just have to say that every single component on every single plate blew us away. No details were spared. Amazing flavor combinations, textures, and presentation all while keeping an elevated yet classic menu approach. We could not stop talking about how great the food was. Wonderful experience and very enjoyable night out.

My mom and godmother pored over dozens of locations deciding where to host my bridal shower, and ultimately chose Savi Cucina. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. The service was exceptional. The staff are so incredibly gracious and patient. We had a party of about 20 people, and everyone kept commenting how excellent the food was. We had the absolute best time, I can’t wait to go back!

DO NOT miss out on this spot if you’re in the area. Lots of places claim to have “mixologists” but these guys are certified PROS! Smoked old fashioned was amazing and so was everything else we tried. Shout out to our bartender, Christian – very knowledgeable, prompt with service and a great attitude! Will be back everything we stay in Mt Pleasant!

If you are looking at reviews, deciding whether to go here or not, you should definitely go here! Stopped in during the happy hour time frame and was met with friendly staff and excellent service. Food was exquisite. Got the meatballs and prosciutto. The jumbo slice of Sicilian pizza looked really tempting too, but I will have to try that next time. All of the food and drink was amazing, and the focaccia bread is out of this world.

Blown away by the experience.
The staff interaction was as pleasant as I’ve ever had.
The members of our party were all beyond satisfied with their orders.
The knowledge of pairings between the vast wine selection and menu offerings displayed an obvious devotion.
Atmosphere felt inspired by the motivation of what the creators really wanted to achieve with their vision.
Highly recommend.

Food met the standard. Nothing was mind blowing. Steak was extremely over cooked but he did not send it back. I think he was with company he wasn’t as comfortable with so didn’t want to seem like a complainer. Fish was fine! The skin made it a little more fishy than I prefer for a branzino dish. Calamari was a tiny portion for $16. Our server met the standard, but wasn’t friendly or interested. Everything here meets standard but doesn’t go above and beyond. Checked the boxes and I would return for happy hour!

We attended the Hess Collection wine dinner. Both the wines and the dinner were spectacular. Savi spotlighted some possible new menu items, while Hess showcased a selection of their wines, across different styles. Delightful evening.

I see why this restaurant receives every award there is. It is soooo good!! First let’s start with the service. We were a party of 10 which is no easy job for any server but Eric was great. So friendly and welcoming. He got our drinks quickly and then really paced our dinner so we weren’t rushed. Great job!! Eric made our visit very enjoyable! Food!!!! 5 stars. I was able to sample the calamari, fries, meatballs and whipped ricotta! Prepared to perfection. Seasoned perfectly and the meatballs were so tender! I loved how they were served in a hot cast iron pan with sauce and cheese. Small pice of focaccia bread! Yum! The whipped ricotta was divine! Sweet and creamy. Bread was salty. Just amazing. I had the fungi parpadelle pasta. The flavors were indescribable. Just go try it! I tasted the orriachetta pasta dish. Wow! Everything was perfectly seasoned. Portion size too was large. I could have shared. This will be my new go to place for pasta! They have a great happy hour too! Ambiance was amazing! I apologize if I spelled the pasta incorrectly. Can’t wait to go back

My family and I had dinner at SAVI last night and everything was amazing! This was our first time dining at SAVI but will definitely not be our last. The food was fresh and everything we had was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend SAVI if you are looking for really good Italian food. The only bad part of our dinner was a table behind us that had 8 older people that clearly had a bit too much wine and they were being so loud we couldn’t have a decent conversation between us.
