Savona’s Trattoria & Bar - Poughkeepsie -Food CA (Near Poughkeepsie)

Christopher Yandell Everything was really good all around. The French onion soup was delicious, and so was the burger. My only complaint was that the ketchup didn’t taste right. It was way too vinegary, I think it may be expired.

Beatriz Barrios Loved this place!! The atmosphere was so quaint and cozy. Dimly lit, but the lighting of the lanterns and spotlights made it look so romantic. The service was great super nice and attentive people. The drinks were tasty and the hot toddy hit the spot on a cold November evening. But the star of the night and the reason we decided to go there tonight was to sample the lasagna flights!! And they did not disappoint!!! We shared both the Vegetarian and the Carne flights and honestly all 8 samples were so tasty and so satisfying! The arriabatta is on the spicy end, the mushroom one and the pancetta were my favorites, followed closely by the pesto and the salsicca e raping. Overall a great night and very satisfying food.

Caitlyn Anderson Went for breakfast on 2 separate occasions on our vacation. Great food! We went right at opening, there was a bit of a wait getting food, about 40 minutes both times, but the food is worth the wait. Lots of food on each plate.

ray miller What a fabulous experience. The GM Chris Hobbs makes sure his guests have an over the top experience. As a working GM he dives into aspects of his restaurant. The food was spectacular and tasty. The drinks are refreshing all with their own flavors. The staff are friendly and courteous. We had our service dog with us and they treated her royally. As a first time customer we look forward to future visits. Great job Chris and crew

R Brice I had a half order of chef spaghetti. I am not a small person, however, a half order is plenty to eat. It comes with a garden salad. The chef spaghetti has restaurant made pasta fresh that day. The sauce is well balanced, they definitely do not add corn syrup in it however, I do not know if they add a pinch of sugar or just use vine ripened sweet tomatoes. There is a lot of meat in the sauce as well as a meatball one sausage, several mushroom shoulder, sliced up, however, I believe the mushrooms were canned not fresh. I could be wrong with that. The three people I were with one had a special order hamburger and a baked potato, drowning, and butter because they asked for it to be drowning in butter. The hamburger was cooked exactly the way they wanted. The second person had ribeye. I may be a little old-fashioned, but the ribeye look to be between six and 8 ounces. It was cooked the way a rib I should, on the rare side. They ate all of it. The third person had some type of fish. As I remember them saying the fish was delicious, not overcooked. We were seated at a table. Which means all of the sound from the other 15 or so tables interfered with our conversation. I have eaten there at least 20 times and we typically get a booth which keeps most of the noise out. We always eat on a Saturday and make reservations. Those people that don’t make reservations can usually wait 45 minutes or more to get seated. There is a zero step entrance so it is handicap accessible. There are two doors to get in through so someone will have to help you open the doors. It is mostly an Italian menu, so there are not very many vegetarian dishes available. I am not certain that the sauce is meat sauce so ask

Sharon Summerson Haven My Family has been coming to this Amazing Restaurant since I was young!!! The second you walk in the door, it smells & feels like Home..only someone else does all the work! The service is impeccable & the food is consistently awesome! The portions are Huge but the price is Not! The hours of operation are limited so it’s a good idea to make reservations…They only take Cash or Checks (ATM NEXT DOOR) but these things help keep costs down & allow them to focus on what’s important, Great Food at a Great Price & Amazing Service from a Friendly Staff!!! I Hope Melodyland Stays Open for Many More Years to Come!!!
