Savini — Restaurant in Quebec

If you're somewhat of a foodie - just don't do it...

I should have known better by the breadth of the menu alone. This is a tourist restaurant and there are so many good places to dine in Quebec City if you dig a little deeper.

The calamari was over battered; we ate 20% of it and left it alone. The Margherita pizza crust was way over prescribed and the base crust so thin it was floppy and hard to cut with a knife and fork - no integrity at all. The sauce so over powering that the buffalo mozzarella was simply texture.

For an Italian restaurant to fail with a Margherita pizza is says it all.

The salmon was dry and required the sauce served with it; the side pasta served with it was decent but a 5oz piece of salmon with a side of butter lemon pasta for $38?

The Polpette on the other hand was excellent and the negroni decent.

There was zero in the way of a table check to see if we were enjoying our meal - we would have sent the calamari back but we ordered everything to come at once.

If you own this place - do better... because you're not about the food and you should be embarrassed based on our experience.

We sat on the patio which was lovely with the classical guitarist playing nearby. Best part of...

As you would expect being a modern Italian restaurant, all the decor was on point and immaculate. They use the new cube service boxes on each table which also acts as ambient, romantic lighting. Pink floral decorations on the back wall surrounding the restaurants’ sign were beautiful. The server asked if we wanted French or English, and his English was perfect. His energy was bubbly, kind, and attentive. We got appetizers to start which consisted of the platter and the bruschetta. Bruschetta was not what do you thinkthe bruschetta tomato salsa but actually I had a piece covered in a goat and pistachio mix and another piece with miniature bocconcini covered in pesto sauce. FANTASTIC! What an unexpected flavour surprise. We also ordered the Burrata Pizza and classic penne vodka. Both were absolutely heavenly delicious. If I had to make one criticism it would be that for the price, the penne was small in portion. Other than that if you have a chance to go to Savini…GO! Our dinner cost $122 cdn. and that included two gin and...

The food was very good but the service was terrible. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant in plastic wobbly chairs. We asked our waitress if we could change our table to where there were better chairs. There were empty tables but she was reluctant to move us. Should have pushed harder to move because being in the middle of the restaurant, my chair was consistently bumped by waiters and customers walking by. Strike one. Next, we waited an hour to an hour and a half for our entree. The waiter was very apologetic and said a big group had come in before us. Not true, we had ordered before the group came in so I believe they lost our order and only realized it when we started asking when our meal was coming. Strike two. The waiter offered us a free beverage or dessert. We chose a dessert and my husband ordered a coffee also. Dessert came, and we finished it, but no coffee came, and no waitress came to check. Strike three. Will not be back even though the...
