on Judys Book Jan 10, 2011Food barley edible. Service terrible. Too much sauce, mushy pasta, ravioli and veal/chicken taken from from pre-frozen food service pouches. (more)

on Citysearch Mar 18, 2010When you walk in the door you mouth starts to water almost before you even smell the food. The food is very authentic ... and VERY good! The sauce is the best anywhere. The simple decorations, checkered tablecloths,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 11, 2009Savelli's is a whole in the wall with good food! I would love to give them 5 stars but I can't. The service isn't always with a smile. On a busy night I feel like they treat you like you are a burden. I lost count how many... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 2008I have been going to Savelli's for years and have always recommended this tiny little gem of a place. This place is unique, anti-corporate and has what every other corporate over rated place doesn't have. The review... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2008I've been to this restaurant several times and have found the food and atmosphere consistently great. Service is as quick and efficient as a small restaurant can be. I admit I always get the manicotti, and a salad, but... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2007Savelli's refreshing & authentic, Italian restaurant. The menu's surprisingly varied, given its size. From salads (try the house dressing!) to main dishes, desserts, & coffee, all I've had are splendid, sans 1... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 22, 2006You can tell a bad restaurant on one visit but a good one requires several visits to determine whether their quality is consistent. I've had the eggplant, lasagna, pasta sampler, sauasage and pepper, manicotti and... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 01, 2006Having moved to Knoxville from an area with numerous family-run Italian restuarants, Savelli's is a little treasure around here. It's often jammed with customers, but we've never had the feeling we were cramped... (more)
