Executive chef Andrew Masciangelo and co-owner dazzled us with his creativity and attention to detail. Putting forth a captivating menu with unique Italian flair.

The night began with a gracious greeting and a lemon basil martini that was a bright effervescent start to a flavorful evening. The wood stone oven flatbread pizzas were spot on and feather-light. Perfectly breaded salmon cakes and risotto along with tuna tartar on a potato crisp proved the appetizers to be on point.



We were then escorted upstairs and seated by SOVONA's wonderful wait staff, it became clear that this orchestra was exquisitely conducted. General manager Maximilian Grange and his team will make sure you have everything you need and sommelier (wine expert) Michele Konopi will assist you on the perfect pairing of wine to the dish.

Impressive is an understatement. 5-second tuna is a crudo dish taken to the next level with calabrian chili, paired with the yellow tail and matchstick radish and lemon meyer finish was a light and tangy start. Chef Masciangelo's veal and ricotta meatballs were unbelievably tender and spiedini skewers with Kobe beef and swordfish left me mesmerized.

Grilled octopus was another unique and exotic change of pace from the norm. This was followed by a main dish of spaghetti " alla chitarra " with its spicy warm sauce and tender shrimp which was tremendous. The only sorrow I had was there were so many choices I couldn't try them all in one sitting. Thankfully SAVONA's menu is online and one can simply view their desires prior to venturing into this fine upscale establishment.
