Reviews for Savona's Trattoria & Bar - Hudson in Hudson, NY
My husband and I decided to eat here last night 10/30/22. The food was good but it was slightly under cooked (pasta & pizza) the... annoying part of the night though was actually the hostess. She was extremely rude for no reason. We didn?t have a reservationwhich we politely said she told us to wait. After a full 5 minutes she comes from the back and starts asking food runners ifthey need help running food to the other tables, takes a few minutes. She then proceeded to answer the phone and was typing onthe register in front of us for another few minutes. We?ve been waiting for at least 10 minutes now, kind of annoying but I workin the food industry so I try to be understanding. Now hear is the rude part, After she hung up the phone she walked away andDID NOT come back but stayed in our view the whole time. Another 5 minutes. By this time there was already other party?s who hadwalked in behind us and asked us how long the wait was since they didn?t have a reservation too. Then a nice young man came upto us to see if we had been helped. He asked the original hostess if she had found a table and we could hear her reply with weonly have one table right now and she can?t sit anyone else. He comes back to my husband and I and takes us to our table andseconds after we sit down the same original hostess walks back with the people who didn?t have a reservation and walked in afterus. Not sure why this hostess was acting this way since we barely said a sentence to her but as someone in the same industry Ijust want to make it clear she set the mood for the rest of the dinner and it wasn?t a great one. Hostess was wearing all blackand shirt had diamond jewels on them, she was kind of tall and brunette with a sleeked back bun probably in her 30?s (had a lotof time to just stare at her) Read more
Very attentive service, delicious food, lovely restaurant. Made a reservation to celebrate a special anniversary. We were... offered both Sunday brunch and lunch menus. Zucchini flower stuffed with Ricotta cheese appetizer was perfection. Limoncellosalmon entree was creative and delicious. We look forward to returning. Read more

Enjoyed Savona?s. It was surprisingly busy considering we visited on a Thursday night in late October. I ordered the mushroom... risotto and my partner the eggplant parmigiana. Both of us were pleased with our meals. Wait staff was friendly and attentiveand the prices reasonable. Not inexpensive, but not overpriced either. We sat near the kitchen so had an opportunity to see manydifferent meals passing by, all looked delicious. If you?re visiting the area I?d recommend Read more
Stopped for late lunch Nice atmosphere, Chicken pepperoni sandwich was ok all the pepperoni was on 1/2 of the sandwich, Caesar... Salad had very little flavor. We are well traveled so expected more from what appeared to be a better than average Italian Read more
We took my Dad for lunch for his 80s birthday (6 adults), it was a Sunday late lunch so the restaurant was almost empty. We told... the host/receptionist that it was his big birthday and also the waiter. They said 'oh nice'. We ordered desserts and were hopingthe restaurant would have the courtesy to at least write 'happy birthday' on one of the desserts. They didn't. It was such acold service even the response from the host when after paying the tab I mentioned to her that we were disappointed by theservice. Again, we have already paid the tab, so getting a freebie or discount was not the issue (6 people, 3 courses each).Food was good but what is worth it when clients are treated as a commodity not humans? So utterly disappointing. My Dad feltleft down. Read more
I think the best way to describe this place is that it's the perfect combination of a hip, 21st Century restaurant with a menu... that would be perfectly at home in an old-school, mid-Century neighborhood Italian place your grandparents might havefrequented. Of course, I mean this in the best way possible because the food is simply fantastic. The bread is so good thatyou'll have a hard time saving room for your entree. And while we didn't order the pizza, I can't imagine that it's not amazingbased on the quality of the bread (listen to me: it's not every place that has bread worth mentioning in a review). I had avery good Caesar salad and the fettuccini Bolognese which were both great, the former being memorably delicious. And if there'sa labor shortage, you wouldn't know it from the large, bustling staff who attend to your ever need. Read more
Ordered 7 meals for lunch in the office. I got the eggplant parm. I had to do a double take when we're taking the food out of... the bags as all of the containers weren't even half full except the bread they overloaded us with. Could barely get the lid downon that bad boy. You can see in the picture that's without me eating any of it, and Idk man for like 18 dollars a person for 7people... Ehhhhh. Kinda felt like robbery. We ordered a pizza from Stella's after because everyone was hungrystill. Collectively we won't be going back. Read more
