Savinos

To start, I typically give a 5 to Savinos but more on the 4 farther down. The food is always excellent at Savinos. My 7 year old grandson had the Duck Confit and lived it! My tuna and scallops were perfectly prepared. The others in our party had beef - 1 was a filet special of the evening and both said their meals were excellent. We had the mussel appetizer and the crab appetizer. I am not a mussel fan but the others raved about them (I think my grandson ate 1/2 the bowl !). Then we all had dessert - flan, to sorbet, to blueberry torte to the multiple layer chocolate fudge cake - all deemed delicious! So why 4 stars? The service from our supposed waitress (or should I say non-service). At 1st all was fine but then came the drink order - she didn't understand it (a bottle of champagne for

The food is delicious! Tom Cutrone, the owner, is the wonderful and inventive chef. He also has created an amazing wine list about which he is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend eating here.

Savinos Grill in Cushing Square Belmont is a far-too-hidden gem of a restaurant. Run by chef/restaurant owner Tom Cutrone, it offers hugely inventive and delicious food dishes and a splendid (and remarkably affordable) wine list. The atmosphere is thankfully quiet (unlike almost every other restaurant not I know in the Boston/Grater Boston area) with soft cool jazz as background music and an attentive staff (including Chef Cutrone). This establishment deserves to be better known and more frequently populated. A culinary treasure.

Great experience dining here. Today is the 5th time in the past 3 weeks. The food is prepared to order and is superb and full of flavor! The chef is also the owner and he does an awesome job! He came out the last time to say hello and thanked us for our patronage. The wait staff are super friendly and are attentive to you, eager to satisfy. I've had the swordfish special the last two times and it was really fresh and very flavorful, my father had the lamb shank and he loved it! If you have a food allergy, the chef is very effective in completely omitting that ingredient and is so good in his profession that he is able to whip up a flavorful substitute. I really enjoy dining here!

This place is always great. The soups are especially outstanding, and everything I’ve had and my fellow diners have had has been outstandingly good, and also healthy. I especially recommend the swordfish, the tilapia and the steaks. The vegetables and salsa and desserts are also great. Can’t go wrong here!
