One of my favorite spots in Poughkeepsie, I bring my fiancé here a lot and she loves it as well. The place has an organic feel of high end, enough to feel upscale but at the same time, probably due to its location, down to earth where you don't feel like you are dropping $40 on a plate. This is the perfect place to bring a date. The food is top quality, the service is great, and the prices are more than fair. I highly recommend the Fried Calamari and the Lobster Ravioli.

What a treat. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was very good. I rarely eat outdoors but the atmosphere was perfect and I felt incredibly comfortable. I really enjoyed the drink menu and fell in love with the Rose Gold. The pepperoni chicken parmigiana was delicious and my favorite thing. Wonderful overall and I look forward to going back.

Great food and service while visiting the Vassar campus area. Large selection of various teas and mimosas. Good brunch menu, including espresso martinis and more breakfast style fare. Pictured: Baked Gorgonzola Stuffed Figs Shrimp Scampi Italian French Toast [brunch menu]

OMG absolutely amazing. Lexi was our waitress and she was such a ninja!! On top of everything. The food was A+++ highly recommend and will be returning.

The first time I went I had Chicken Française that, in my opinion, was oddly paired with string beans and roasted potatoes. The chicken was excellent but I don't feel it goes well with potatoes and string beans - I would have preferred pasta. I've since discovered you can switch the sides though I'm not sure how much leeway you are given. That said, I've had their eggplant parmesan twice (which is appropriately served with pasta) and can confidently say it's the best eggplant I've had anywhere. It even beats moms! The staff is polite, the service is very good, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere though it is a bit noisy. However, the overall 'vibe' of the restaurant is 'festive' so the noise seems to fit in with the atmosphere. A bit more expensive than moderately priced, but the food is plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend.

We needed a place to eat with our Boxer and they accommodated Dozer offering him water before we were even seated. Told us where we would be seated because we had a dog when we reserved our table. We had Gerry the waiter who was as great as the other reviews say. The food and wine were excellent. We’ll be back.

First time eating from here although I've lived locally for almost a decade. I ordered the lobster ravioli and was extremely disappointed and disgusted at the poor quality of food. Hopefully this was just a bad night for the chef or because I ordered take out but I doubt I would be going back. The lobster ravioli was so incredibly salty plus the salt that was dumped into the sauce it made my whole meal not edible. I tried a piece from the other raviolis hoping it was just the first one i ate but it was the entire meal. I even crunched on what looked like a piece of shell. That was unpleasant as well. Waste of my hard earned money.

Savona's Trattoria & Bar is a superb Italian restaurant with a college bar atmosphere. The servers were very friendly, nice and helpful. The food tasted delicious, I had the yummy Gorgonzola steak salad, my son had mouth water chicken pepperoni Parm sandwich and my daughter indulged in the salmon limoncello! Savona's Trattoria & Bar is top on my list of places to eat fine food in Poughkeepsie!

Place looks amazing. Pizza is dry, and hard, no flavor and super thin. Chicken Marsala was plain and noodles were very dry. French fries Were burned and salt less. No ketchup given. Lasagna was okay. Garlic twist were very oily. I'm highly disappointed spending 100$ on food. I'll give this place a 2. The 2 is because the place is absolutely gorgeous, but there's no real Italian love in the food. 😑 Will not be going back.

This was a celebration of my wife's birthday, which the food was mediocre. This was our 1st visit. We will give them a second chance soon. Stuff zucchini flower was amazing. Stuff artichoke with breadcrumbs tasted like sand. Steak needed more flavors S & P minimum adding a sauce saved the meal.

Perfect! I started off with the apple cider sangria made by Gerry!! D-Licious!! My scallop risotto was everything I expected and more ! I’ll be back, I always am ❤️

We typically enjoy coming here. Came a few minutes early before they opened and the person at the door wouldn’t seat us. I understand that you’re not serving anything early but you can’t make accommodations for regular customers? Unfortunately we won’t be back. I’m happy to spend my money elsewhere with establishments that appreciate my business and money.

Great ensemble of popular Italian dishes combined with some unique selections. The chicken francese had a strong lemon note, and the burrata was creamy and fresh. We loved the bruschetta. We appreciated the menu recommendations and efficient service. Reservations are a good idea, & allow a few minutes to find parking. Highly recommend!

Says open until 9pm, rejected for ordering dinner at 8:44pm. But you can have a drink, sorry kitchen closes at 8:30pm. Huh? I bet I don't get a response either....restaurants struggled through the pandemic and here I am. I don't get it. Update: I returned after being contacted by Jessica, and I am I glad I did. My return dinner was outstanding , and the bartender Ramiro was wonderful. They wanted to make a negative experience better, and they did. That is what business is about, caring for their customers. Hats off, I will now be coming back .....thanks Jessica!

Service is great here and everyone is super friendly! I had the mozzarella sticks and a pizza to go. The mozzarella sticks were so so good and the sauce was also great. I loved the pizza, but I wish it was cooked just a little longer. I ended up tossing it in the oven for a couple minutes just to get it a little crispy.

Very good food and excellent service. I'm not too fond of the garlic rolls they serve and would prefer the great crusty bread they used to serve, but aside from that, no issues with their food. Have tried a number of different dishes from salmon to pasta. All fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The only other issue is its difficult to find parking on busy nights.

The veggie flatbread was delicious! The grilled chicken chopped salad was great & the salad dressing was good as well. Everything was nice & fresh! Can’t wait to eat-in & have a cocktail!

I love this place, I have had both dinner and brunch here. This is one of the best places for brunch in the area. The food is very fresh and tasty, the portions are great and the service is outstanding. The lemon ricotta waffles are so good, their house made bread, I can never stop eating. Everything I have tried is simply delicious.

Wonderful food, we had the eggplant Napoleon, veal francaise, and mushroom pizza, every dish was delicious and full of flavor! The restaurant was very busy for a Friday afternoon so that may have affected our service which while not bad was not as good as the food so only 4 stars for service. We had some longer wait times in ordering our meals and getting our check. The server was very nice but he did seem to be a bit overwhelmed. I highly recommend Savona's and I look forward to my next meal there.

The food was good. We had a outdoor seating, our server was so busy and rush. I dislike how he packed my leftover food. Although I had a large plate with slices of pizza, didn’t mean he can put all the dishes, including my fd’s small dishes on my pizza plate and bring it inside and pack the food. So my leftover pizza was next to the dirty dishes. Next time, I will ask for the Togo container instead.

We came here last night for my birthday and the entire experience was great. I ordered the special drink and it was perfect. We had the squash blossom as an appetizer and chose two of the fall specials. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and kind and the manager, Gerry was also great and made sure we had a good time. Can’t wait to go back!

Everything was great from garlic bread to clam, mussels, truffles pizza, and grits with salmon. Very nice.
