Savelli 195 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

"my friend wanted to revisit another Italian restaurant, but I decided to try out Savelli. Didn't expect much apart from enjoying pizza, but we were amazed by all components. the food was fresh, down to the pesto I feel they put love into it. drinks were great, service was fast and inviting. Nothing to complain. Laura, Tony and Alex were stars. they actually let us stay after they were closed. talk about not rushing the customer. they really love their craft, it shows. We left feeling overly satisfied. definitely deserves a revisit."

"My friends and I had a great time at Savelli last night to celebrate a birthday. We had a party of about 8 or so and had the perfect table to accommodate us. The service was friendly, courteous, and timely. The restaurant's interior/ambiance is beautiful. It's also not so loud that you can't hear your own conversation, so that was a nice bonus. We ended up ordering several appetizers, entrees, and desserts, all family-style. For appetizers, we had two orders of the ARANCINE DI MANZO (short rib arancini, always a winner) and an order of calamari. The arancini came with a sort of basil aioli sauce and the calamari came with a side of marinara (so good). We then ordered a whopping 29" FUNGHI pizza (mozzarella, fontina cheese, fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, white truffle cream & fresh basil). To be honest, while it was pretty good, it was my least favorite as it seemed a bit dry. BUT, wow, what a beauty! And there was plenty for everyone to have a couple of slices. We also ordered a couple of pasta dishes, such as ORECCHIETTE SALSICCIA E BROCCOLI RAPA (orecchiette pasta served with sauteed broccoli rabe and sausage—highly recommend) and their LINGUINE ALLE VONGOLE (Linguine served with clams in a oil and garlic sauce—soooo great) as well as a side of broccoli rabe. For dessert, we ordered two chocolate lava cakes that came with vanilla ice cream, a tiramisu (a highlight of the evening, imo), and a NY cheesecake. While I would probably try a different pizza next time, I'll definitely return. This is my third time at or ordering from Savelli, and it's truly a great spot in the neighborhood."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this place; the food, especially the pizza and the Veal with potatoes, was scrumptious. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the overall atmosphere was delightful. I highly recommend it."

"Very nice atmosphere. Walking by it doesn’t look like much is going on, but once you enter the restaurant and go towards the back, it is beautifully decorated. Our table had the lemon chicken , salmon and a few pasta dishes. I was pretty happy with my chicken dish and the salmon was very nicely cooked. For the pasta dishes, 3 out of 4 were good. The orecchiette with broccoli rabe and pesto sauce was OK. VERY good tiramisu. But so far this restaurant has one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had in the neighborhood. The credit card surcharge threw me off, and it would be nice if they mention it on the menu or QR code. If they did, I did not see it. Regardless, I would come back."

"When I first walked the restaurant has a big amount of space and is really beautiful . They offer brick oven pizza so their pizza crust is perfect. I started with margaritas which were preferred wonderfully. I had the Margherita VIP pizza and the calamari . It was amazing and their calamari was juicy and not at all dry . Everything is homemade and the marinara sauce was prepared really well. I ended with the Tiramisu. I will visit again . Servers and bartenders were attentive and friendly . Good experience"
