Savelli's Italian Restaurant

Savelli's is a whole in the wall with good food! I would love to give them 5 stars but I can't. The service isn't always great or even good for that matter. On a busy night I feel like they treat you like you are a burden. I lost count how many weeknights we have attempted to eat at Savelli's only to drive all the way there and find that oh they just decided to close early that day. The last straw was a few weeks ago when I called at 6:00pm to make reservations for 8:30pm. They said "oh don't worry you won't need reservations just come on down"...so we got there at 8:20, walk in and what do you know "sorry guys we closed early". If you have a closing time you need to stick to it. If it gets slow cut the staff don't but don't close. I know MANY people that have had this same issue with Savelli's. Not a good way to treat your customers. They might not always return. I probably won't!

A friend told me about this restaurant several years ago, and I have loved it ever since. It is very small, but the food is amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that I have ordered. I have also gotten take out and it has always been perfect as well.

There is nothing fancy about the location or the decor, but it is clean and everyone is friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
