SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar

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.

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.

I Always Have An Amazing Experience Every Time I Dine At Your Restaurant! Everyone Is So Pleasant And My Last Encounter With My Server (Tanner) I Believe Was His Name; Just His Bright Smile Patience And Offering To Wrap My Food To Go… Those Little Things Made My Entire Day So Much More Brighter And Positive For I Had Just Experienced The Loss Of My Uncle And Was Physically There But Not Mentally! Thank You For Just Being Such A Breath Of Fresh Air! Bentlee 247

The Hungry Detective was out, checking leads and discovered the best pork chop in Charleston… If I could give six stars, I would it was that good accompanied by an ice glass of Tuscan red wine…and don’t even get me started with the donuts…I got them to go…they were gone before I made it home… Those donuts are better than you know what!! VERDICT: Guilty as sin once again…this is hands down the best Italian food and wine 🍷🍷🍷selections Charleston!!! I cannot wait to return and try new dishes as the chef is always on point with his flare and variety!!!

We’ve been coming to Savi for years now but we haven’t left a review in quite a while. We eat at Savi at least once a trip, but usually multiple times a trip. We are often served by Brett at the bar and he’s fantastic and makes great wine recommendations. Recently we had Luca as our server and he was kinda enough to make us a chocolate espresso martini even though it wasn’t on the menu and it was fabulous! This place has a great wine list and the desserts are incredible. We often find ourselves back at Savi for drinks and dessert even when we eat dinner elsewhere. Other menu items worth mentioning are the gnocchi and pizzas!

We had an incredible dining experience featuring a diverse array of drinks and delicious food. Our waiter, Madeline, was exceptional, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal. Each drink was uniquely crafted, perfectly complementing our dishes. The food was equally impressive, showcasing fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. Madeline’s friendly demeanour and attentive service made our evening truly memorable. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

The Hungry Detective had the most fabulous experience at Savi on a Sunday evening after a round or golf. Brett the bartender knows the business and recommended a super Tuscan red wine to start things off and was spot on. The food: I had the lasagne special which was creamy and full of meat and came in a pinwheel presentation...totally outside the box of traditional lasagne. Special Agent Deidre had the eggplant parmigiana with radiatore pasta, which was incredible as it was served up in a piping hour cast iron dish. Dessert: Savi's Citrus Cake VERDICT: Guilty on all counts of doing it all to perfection...great food and atmosphere...Savi has always been consistent and sit at the bar with Brett for five star service. NOTE: This is the best Italian in Mount Pleasant!!!

SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar is the jewel of Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. I came in on a weeknight looking for something to eat and as Savi happened to be there and quiet at that moment I went in and sat at the bar. At first I felt a bit neglected. I sat there uncertain as the bartender and another employee chatted up a couple of regulars who seemed to have recently returned from a vacation. This feeling passed when the conversation had a natural conclusion and the bartender came over and gave me a menu and a rundown of what was delicious. I opted for the caesar salad with the addition of shrimp and wow! It was an incredible salad with an amazing amount of shrimp. Like there has been no restaurant before or since that was so generous with their shrimp portions. The lettuce was crispy and the lemon brighten it up, it was so fresh, so delicious, so crunchy I found I lost myself to each bite. I simply did not notice how full the bar became between my first and nearly last bite until another customer broke my reverie by snapping at a new bartender for a minor mistake. The new bartender confessed his newness and apologized for his misinformation. I thanked them profusely for the delicious dinner, marveled at the full bar, paid, and took my leave. Out of all the restaurants in that area of Mount Pleasant Savi is the best. Highly recommend!!

Came for lunch in a Saturday after a movie. We did not have reservations but it was pretty empty. One table of 8 and 2 at the bar. Started with the chopped Italian. It comes with salami but put that in the side for my son to keep it vegetarian for me. The dressing was different than regular Italian. Almost had a mustard lemon flavor but it was good. Husband had the meatballs that came in a little cast iron skillet with focaccia bread. He loved it. We all split the margarita pizza and I loved it. Crunchy crust, salty cheese and just the right amount of sauce. Reminded me of a "Round" or typical NYC take out pizza. Sav Blanc came in two different pour size options. Nice place for family dinner, groups, date night. Good size bar with plenty of seats. Perfect after a movie, right across the lot or after a day of shopping

Stumbled upon this place for lunch on a Thursday w BFF. We were told by the server that every thing is made in-house, Super tasty. Visually, its a great space. I felt like I was on a mini-vacation (definitely not in Summerville anymore). Started with crispy artichokes - tiny, deliciously and lightly fired petals - so good. Who knew I liked parley aioli. I went outside of my safe zone and ordered the Sausage & Burrata. SO excellent - the sausage was delicious. I will be re-ordering that soon. Its served in one size and it was certainly big enough to share with 1 or 2 others. BFF has the orecchiette - so good. But really, here is the rub. We ordered the fresh focaccia and I have never had such good focaccia. It stood about 2" tall, fresh, great olive oil. With the app and entrees, it ran us about $30, but worth it and we had to-go that would be another full meal.

I love that they have happy hour every single day from 3 to 6 PM! Make sure you sit at the bar as that's the only place that this happy hour is served though. The meatballs are delicious and very flavorful and you can choose how many you'd like to order as only one comes per order. Crispy artichokes were smaller than expected, and a little bit too lemony with the sauce. The wine wines are the price of a 5 ounce glass but the pour of an 8.5 ounce so definitely a discount.

25% off wine on Wednesdays brought us in. Thank goodness because the majority of their wine was on the pricy side. We enjoyed timely service and a cozy, clean ambiance sitting inside. Appreciated they had gluten free pasta options, but thought $5 extra was a bit much. Sausage pasta was light, fresh, and satisfying. Quite large portions, too.

I am from New Jersey which is Italian Food "Mecca".. I have to say the pizza was very good. It is EXTREMELY hard to find good pizza in the South. I would definitely return for the pizza. I also had Linguine with Clams which was a little weird the way it was prepared. There was bits of breading in the pasta with small chunks of ham. There was also no clam sauce, which I found bizarre. Very different from what we serve in the NJ/NYC area. It wasn't terrible, but I'd probably not get that again. The wine selection was great. Many choices for wine, little on the pricey side but not terrible. I would definitely go back for Pizza. As I said earlier, it is hard to find good pizza in the south. I will definitely return next trip to Charleston/ Mount Pleasant area.

The service here is amazing. Everyone is so attentive. I love their happy hour which goes from 3 - 6 and it's super conveniently located in town center so it's a great post shopping stop. I got the meatballs and the fried mozzarella and both of them were delicious. I love that they have excellent wines and cocktails so everyone in your party has options. Their full dinner menu starts at 5 and it gets busy around 5-6.

Savi was an interesting place. The wine wasn't my favorite. I tried 2 flavors and neither were very satisfying. I ended up ordering a Sauvignon blanc which was decent but still had a little after taste. I went during wine Wednesday and they give an extra pour and they have a deal for 25% of a full bottle. Also, not sure if this is something to note, but when we requested to be seated outside the hostess lead us away from the empty tables in front of the restaurant, to the side of where no one else was being seated. We ended up asking to be seated in front and she obliged but it was odd because there were many tables in the front and she went on to seat the next table right behind us. Overall, the outdoor seating was nice and the server was very helpful with bringing samples and helping us pick a wine we'd enjoy.

SAVI was fantastic! Atmosphere, service, food, and drinks all will make you a regular if you're local. If you're not local, put this on your list of restaurants to try in Mount Pleasant. We had the gnocchi, orichiette and that night's special of lasagna. Everything was delicious. Get the appetizer of focaccia with garlic confit. They offer espresso martinis two ways; dark or creamy. Perfect after dinner drinks. Our server (wish I could remember her name) was delightful. She was knowledgeable and helpful with a bright smile. I highly recommend going as soon as you can!

I came back recently and have to do a review update. We came in without a reservation because we just happened to be in Towne Centre that night. They offered us a high top at the bar, but my friend has a particular issue with her knee making those stools uncomfortable. The owner overheard our conversation with the hostess and immediately seated us at a regular table in the dining room which was much appreciated. Considering the restaurant is in an outdoor mall/shopping plaza, you immediately forget about that once you're inside. They start you with a plate of house focaccia with the best dipping oil. Then we got a small Caesar salad and meatballs to start. The crispy pancetta on the Caesar really makes it next level and their meatballs are fantastic. For entrees we did a little sharing and ended up with two classics. The chicken parm was huge and the chicken was perfectly tender. On my last visit my brother had the lasagna al forno and I had been thinking about it ever since. You basically get your own long cast iron pan full of lasagna and it's so delicious. We definitely over ordered and were happy to take some home for lunch the next day.

Do not sleep on this stop, it was the best pizza I've had in a minute. We went for happy hour that is offered in the bar area (high tops included) until 6pm. We got the Brussels and arancini off the HH small plates menu. Both were delish but Brussels were our favorite. We also got some of the cocktails that were good as well. For the entree, we split the sausage and burrata pizza with a side of hot honey and I will be thinking about it for a very, very long time. It is packed with flavor and the crust actually is firm enough that all the toppings don't slide off when you pick it up. We finished the meal with the almond rum cake and the chocolate mousse desserts which were huge portion sizes (didn't stop us from finishing both however). The almond rum cake was really light and unique, would order again. Only complaint was service was quite slow. We spent way more time in the restaurant than we should have but the food made up for that. Hoping that was a fluke thing and not a regular occurrence.

Stopped in for a quick bite, had the Calamari and the Gnudi, both were delish. Server Ansley was awesome. Would go back again!

This was my first time coming in and enjoyed it. I actually love that it's located right outside of the movie theater. Convenient for a movie and dinner. There is ample outdoor seating. When you first walk through the doors the bar area is open. I was greeted by the hostess and sat at the bar. The bartenders were super nice. They all introduced themselves to me and recommended their favorite selections...I opted for a cocktail this time around. I can't recall the name of it but it was delicious I didn't have a very big appetite so I ordered their meatballs and a side caesar salad. I did leave a little room for their banana pudding trife, which was so tasty. The caramelized banana on top was top tier. Would definitely come back to explore the wines and menu options more. It was a great experience.

Wanted to love it, but had an okay experience. Sat at a bar high-top by the front door and our server was not very friendly. I asked a couple of questions about the wine list and he didn't answer any and just came back with a bottle he said the sommelier picked out for us and poured it without confirming the price. The pasta that came with the chicken parm barely had sauce on it & was and not very flavorful. The dessert that was an ice cream sandwich special was amazing, though! Would come back for happy hour but felt that it was overpriced for dinner.

Very expensive for a pasta meal for Valentine's Day . Ambience was good. Service was good.

Our first time dining at Savi Cucina and we will definitely be back! We ate in the wine bar area which has great ambiance, combined with the excellent service. Starting with the grilled octopus and chicken lollipops kicked off a very yummy dinner. I ordered the Branzino which was stuffed with risotto (that's right stuffed with delicious risotto). The fish was cooked perfectly and had been deboned which made us much easier to enjoy. The wifey had eggplant Parmesan which was a bit heavy and stopped us from having dessert but definitely worth it! The drinks are just as good with a great priced happy hour! It was amazing to find such an excellent Italian restaurant not far from our home! Cheers!

Great food! Great taste! We had such a great time our waiter Pat did an excellent job!

Extremely Crowed, ( 15 inches between tables) extremely loud, ( could not hear across our 24 inch table). We left after only an appetizer. Would not recommend if you are looking for a great dining experience.

Natalie, Brian, and Anslee!! Thank you!! Y'all are amazing! Best place to spend happy hour! Food,service, and atmosphere are the best around. You won't be disappointed!!

Service is horrible! literally waits at length for everything. Food was average. Would not recommend or ever go back

I don't recommend this place. We went here to try to get a relaxing drink after doing some shopping, but it was soooooo awkward and not relaxing at all. I really disliked the service here mostly, it was just really awkward and not welcoming. It seemed like the bartender just wished everyone in the bar would leave, which we did after only one drink. We had hoped to get two drinks at least, but we were like this is terrible and just ended up grabbing a bottle of wine on the way home so we could have a chill evening at the house we rented. The wine was fine, not amazing, but good enough. I got a quartino of the Somma Prosecco, and it wasn't bad. Not the best prosecco, but it was good enough. I originally wanted to get the Bubbles Trio flight, but after a couple of interactions with our bartender, I realized I just wanted a one and done type of thing. My friend ordered an old fashioned, which was presented kinda cool, except the bartender then messed up, dropped part of the stuff on the floor yet proceeded to just pick it up off the floor and continue making the drink. Omg, so gross in my opinion. I wouldn't have drank it and would have sent it back if it had been my drink, but my friend didn't want to make a big deal about it. He wasn't overly impressed by the fact that the stuff had been dropped on the floor and then just picked back up though. The bartender then went back behind the bar and started singing really loudly to himself - one of the people sitting at the bar was like "are you bored or something?." The bar cleared out pretty fast because the bartender kept either singing to people or oversharing his life stories. Like, fine if someone wants to talk, but it was pretty clear that NO ONE wanted to listen to him and everyone felt very uncomfortable. He also overshared every time he came over to us. Sir, maybe get a therapist that is paid to listen to you? While their food looked kinda yummy, we didn't want to stay with the service everyone at the bar was having and we were having. And then when we asked for the check, he brought it to us, said "No rush" while proceeding to stand directly behind us as we were getting a credit card out, and picked it up as soon as we set it on the table - it felt very rushed lol. I feel like I'm not even describing this entire debacle as awkward as it was, but just know it was soooooo awkward. I will not be back here.

The Best food I ever ate i will be back for the veal the dessert is very good, This my Valentine treat from my husband.Best husband in world.

The food and service was unbelievably good! Loved this restaurant! Highly recommend this restaurant

Underwhelming! While the service was great and the smokey old fashioned was delicious, the food was just ok. I was most disappointed by their meatballs. They were so bland that I doused them in parmesan and crushed red pepper just to make them palatable. Bread was served, but the portion was tiny! The homemade pasta was ok but served a bit too al dente. Recipe was nothing more than ordinary. The decor is classy and outdoor seating is comfortable. They have heat if necessary.

Indoor / outdoor seating in a contemporary setting. We had the antipasti plate, Arancini and mushroom risotto with grilled chicken. The food was excellent and the wine was decent. While the service was attentive, our waiter didn't know what was on the antipasti board and had to go ask, he told us that the mortadella didn't have pistachios (I have a nut allergy) when it clearly did and couldn't pronounce the food names properly. Maybe he was new, but some things are just basic when it comes to good service and this staff clearly just needs more training.

We ordered take out and not only was the food delicious and nicely packed up, the service when picking up the food was superb! Very kind and welcoming and I greatly appreciate that!

Love this transporting experience with such a convenient location (and free parking). Great happy hour specials- fried mozzarella is a must. But also great for a romantic ending of espresso martini and dessert. We did all the courses on this adventure and were not sad about any of it. Here are the highlights. Service was excellent. Burrata and sausage pizza was transcendent. Would return for this item alone. Meatballs were good but a lot smaller than previous visits. Savi 75 was a wicked good cocktail with a little lavender. Filet with truffle mashed potatoes was steak house quality and perfectly prepared. The Osso Bucco was good but the cacio de Pepe risotto underneath was the highlight. The meat needed a bit more caramelization and sauce. At $65 this should be perfected. Chicken Parmigiana was solid. Italian Salad was fantastic. Favorite desserts were almond gelato and limoncello cake. Skip the mini cannolis- too much lemon and shells weren't right. But dark espresso martini was spot on!

Brought my dad and brother here for Father's Day dinner. They're both chefs so it's hard taking them to restaurants since they'll be more critical than average--they know great food! And they both enjoyed their meals. As for my non-chef tastebuds, I really liked everything I had! The pasta tasted fresh and the dishes were flavorful. Everyone in the fam left satisfied, which is a win in my book. The dads in my fam were happy and felt all the love and left satisfied in more ways than one!

Food was so so good. I travel every week for work and always eat out and this was one of the best places I've been! Curtis the server was great!!!

10/10! Wonderful service snd fantastic food! They made our special occasion extra special - definitely check this place out!

Had a fabulous meal at Savi. Was able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Loved the wine Piedmont flight, was tasty and good pours and affordable. The free focaccia is fantastic. But the showstopper was the Summer Truffle Gnudi. Servers and managers said it was their favorite item on menu and I don't disagree. Lots of parking since situated in a parking lot. I can't wait to go back. They apparently do a great happy hour but it's bar seating only for the happy hour. SUMMER TRUFFLE GNUDI Ricotta gnudi, mild Italian sausage, roasted mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, cacciotta al tartufo cheese PIEDMONT Barbera,Dolcetto,Nebbiolo

Delicious food, wonderful wine selection, friendly staff! They were so accommodating to our group, and the experience was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Made the reservation for my birthday and walked into the special note on the table for me. Had never been there, but the server made some suggestions, and our service was outstanding. Everything we ate we enjoyed, and the Wine's were delicious. There are multiple other things I would like to try and they are very gluten-free friendly. I only recently had to go gluten-free per doctors orders and I was worried about enjoying Italian and they made that happen for me would definitely recommend and cannot wait to go back.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience on Monday, January 20th. Summer's service was exceptional, and the food was delicious! Could not have asked for a better birthday experience doe my son!

I simply can't say enough good things about SAVI Cucina! We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server Maddie introduced herself and was very friendly. She explained the specials and made an excellent wine suggestion. The food was outstanding. I highly recommended the octopus appetizer. We have family in Charleston and definitely will be going back to SAVI Cucina the next time we are in the city.

Seriously awesome happy hour prices - only at the bar though! Food was flavorful, but nothing fancy. Nice selection of new world reds so that makes me happy! They do push the Daou a bit though. Vibe is fine- a bit Mount Plastic but manageable. Bartenders tend to be a little overworked so they aren't always the fastest on the service. Good spot for a pre-movie snack without kids.

This is a nice romantic Italian restaurant. Excellent service. We had a small salad . good $9.00 I had the Linguine Alle Vongole $29. Adding Shrimp & Calamari $9. The chewy pasta wasn't cooked long enough to my liking. Skimpy seafood for the price. Dry needing more wine. I have eaten this in many restaurants and make it at home. I informed the server to tell the chef. That's where it ended. Veal Parmesan was good. I have eaten this in many restaurants and make it at home. Mine is better as I use the best ingredient's. I describe it as middle of the road. I will wait awhile and try this restaurant again.

We stopped in for a bite without a reservation before 6 pm on a recent chilly evening for our first time. Already, there was no indoor table available for two so we sat outside under a propane heater. The service was initially prompt and friendly with helpful menu suggestions. Bread and oliveoil showed up shortly. We split the caesar salad and the lamb tagliatelle and it was plenty for the two of us! The caesar dressing was creamy and tasty even if a bit on the salty side. The lamb dish was very good. Large indoor parties and being outside distracted the service a bit but caused no problem as we continued to leisurely sip our wine. It can be surpising to find a decent reasonably priced meal with the ambience of alfresco dining in a shopping center. But it will be worth a return trip.

Savi makes some of the best authentic Italian pasta I've ever had. Everything I've had here made my tongue slap my brain. All of the pasta and the sauces and so many other things including all of their amazing desserts are made in house. It's all so well prepared. The mussels are out of this world and I could drink the broth they're made in. Great service. Super stylish high end decor too so I love the vibe. A go to favorite of mine.

Considering we didn't have a reservation we lucked out with an outdoor table, great recommendations from our server, Summer. We love Savi!!

Fantastic service by Keith and Holden...great knowledge of wine and yummy cocktails. Stop by for their happy hour specials

First time trying SAVI, we sat at the bar (the restaurant bar not the wine bar). The atmosphere and ambience was great! We got two dishes, the Truffle Gnudi and the Bucatini & Meatballs. The Truffle Gnudi was very good. Similar to gnocchi, it paired well with the Italian sausage/mushrooms. The Bucatini & Meatballs didn't blow us away - the meatballs had a nice flavor but the pomodoro sauce didn't have a strong flavor, it wasn't the best I've had. Would definitely go back to try other dishes!!

Nolan is my favorite bartender in town! Very attentive and creative - likes to mix. up the glasses.

Phenomenal. The gnocchi was a tantalizing symphony of flavor. My bf had a pizza and it was incredible. Rosemary focaccia, yes please! I went prior to a work shift and I cannot wait to go again and try out the cocktails!!!! Yes. Yes, and yes.

AMAZING!! Great service and Great prices. We had a party of 4. The FIG + PROSCUITTO pizza was amazing. The EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA was the best I've ever had. My son ordered the fish. He ate it all before I could taste it. He said it was so good he would like to go bank before we leave Charleston. The dessert was homemade sorbet. We all were so full but had to try it. I just have to say, if you are in Charleston, Savi is definitely a must! You will not be disappointed. Nice outdoor seating and Dog friendly. Great area to go shopping and end your day at Savi.

Over the weekend I hung out with my friend in Mount Pleasant Towne center. Definitely was interested in sipping wine so we decided to go into Savi They have a lot of shipping options but the bubbly flight is what caught our attention. It was Prosecco rosé and Lambrusco Definitely one of the most fun flights I've had in a while. Also on their appetizer menu they have fried artichokes. I love artichokes but I've never had them fried before so that definitely was going down and so glad that I ordered them. Simply because they were delicious you should definitely check them out if you're in the area. Follow me on Instagram @sipbiteandtasteit lots of foodie fun goes down there!

This has become my favorite restaurant in Mt. Pleasant. The food, bar program, and wine/wine selection is wonderful. We normally sit at the bar, and the bar teams is incredible: Nataly, Holden, Keith, etc.

Frank and Holden were amazing as always. they litsten and recommend but are not pushy. great evening.
