Great food. Had a beat salad with pistachio, cheese, and some kind of vinegar reduction. Really unique taste. Main course was a short rib pasta. Very nice! And I recommend the Banana Bread dessert.

My friend and I had dinner at Savoca last evening on February 22, 2025 before a comedy show at the Peacock Theater. First and foremost, we would definitely be coming back the next time we attend a function in the area and second, we would highly recommend Savoca to others, excellent food and service :-)!! Our server, Shilo ensured we had a wonderful meal and most importantly, dessert (their Caramel Budino) ;-)! He was a delight and made our dining experience all the better with his professionalism and attentiveness! Thank you to the whole staff at Savoca for making our Lady's Night a memorably delicious time!!

Love the AIR like ambiance in the place, the food was NEXT LEVEL DELICIOUS. Their Branzino (Fish) was to perfection, then the veggies 😋 OMG my mouth was having a PARTY with all of the flavors that was dancing on my pallet. I look forward to eating this again & again. CHEF 👩‍🍳 KISS to team SAVOCA. Dessert did not disappoint, loved it!

Excellent customer service. The food was fresh and really delicious. The outdoor seating was just right. Nice private feeling with an excellent view. Will definitely come back!

Ordered the avocado toast without any cheese or meat, and was blown away! The charcoal bread was so moist and the fruit inside of it was delicious! Will definitely go back.

Savoca is a cozy Italian restaurant known for its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere. Their pasta dishes, like the ravioli and spaghetti, are made fresh and taste amazing. The friendly staff and warm ambiance make it a great place for a casual dinner or date night.

I had such a great experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable — perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The food was incredible — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they really care about quality and detail. The service was quick, but never rushed, and our server checked in just the right amount. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. It’s rare to find a spot that nails the food, service, and vibe all at once — but they absolutely did!

Savoca delivered an outstanding meal from start to finish. The pasta was clearly made in-house and cooked to perfection, with rich, authentic sauces that reminded me of my trip to Italy!! Our server was attentive without being intrusive and offered excellent wine pairings. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegant and comfortable, mking it ideal for both date nights and family celebrations. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the area—we'll be back soon!

Truly wonderful restaurant to eat at when you’re in the area for a game/convention/stay. It was our second time dining at Savoca and we had the pleasure of being served by Farouk. He provided quality service and gave recommendations. He service was timely and we got our food and drinks quickly, although the restaurant was busy, as it was AX weekend. I highly recommend coming to Savoca for dinner, and trying the bolognese and lemon chicken as they’re both our favorites.

When we came the first time, we took two pasta dishes it was really good and tasteful. The chocolate cake was good. However the second time was disapointing, the service wasn’t as good as the first time and the angus steak wasn’t what we expected for the price. The quality of the meat wasn’t there but the vegetables were really good and well seasoned. The burger was ok, the chips that came with it was oily and tasted mid.

Really great breakfast buffet. Wonderful fruit options, probably the best fruit quality I’ve had in America at a breakfast buffet. They had eggs to order, various muffins and breads, and a hot line of meats potatoes and eggs. Would have liked a better tea selection. Our server was surprisingly rude, I don’t mind monotone or short, but he was snippy and just outright unpleasant. Hostess was kind.

DELICIOUS! The Italian cuisine that is showcased at this restaurant is stellar! I had the rigatoni bolognese and I literally melted into my seat when I had my first bite, so flavorful! I paired my meal with an avocado Caesar salad and an exquisite Italian Cheesecake covered in chocolate with a serving of ice cream and cocoa powder. Staff was okay, my waitress was attentive and polite but overall they were quite awkward. However, I would return to this restaurant as it had excellent food options and shout out to the young lady who brought all the dishes to my table she was so kind-hearted and professional! Note: this is a pricier, upscale establishment but its causal and welcoming!

Ordered take-away from this place. Love the mushroom pizza and seafood pasta. They taste good even it’s takeaway. Ordered both garlic fries and regular fries too. Garlic fries a bit soggy, but regular fries taste good.

Breakfast buffet had a large selection and was very good! The price was very high but I realized it was in a nice hotel.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE: The food was ok, but there was no wow factor for me. I'm not sure I would come back. They have a different menu for brunch... maybe the food is better? Service was excellent though!! AMBIANCE: Located in the JW Marriott hotel. Noise level is noisy since it's open concept to the hotel lobby. DRESS CODE: Smart Casual ORDERED: Came for DineLA 10/2023. We got the roasted beet salad, burrata, braised beef, seared branzino, pumpkin spice cheesecake, and a birthday dessert on the house! For drinks: Will You Stay in LA? and Little Italy SERVICE: Service was exceptional! Super friendly and attentive! PARKING: I'm sure you can park at the hotel, but we found street parking for free and walked two blocks.

We stayed in the hotel and came for breakfast, which was not included in our hotel stay. It was not busy on a Wed morning around 9:30am, yet we had to wait at the reception for a while before we got seated as there was no one available to attend to us at the reception counter. As we got seated, the server came with coffee and orange juice and asked what we like so we said coffee. She poured us coffee and then asked if we had breakfast included in our stay which we said no. She gave us the menu and said coffee was included if we ordered buffet. When we later clarified that we didn't want buffet and wanted to order ala carte breakfast and cappuccino instead, she was not very friendly although she took back the coffee. The food here was ok but expensive.

The roasted cauliflower has fresh flavorful herbs. So grateful they offer a vegan option. Service here is excellent. Wouldn't come back though unless I happened to be at the hotel or nearby.

Dining room was open and airy and service was fairly good however the food was a bit of a disappointment. Ordered the Tagliatelle with bolognese and was served a bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce. Apparently they were out of Tagliatelle and didn't think it necessary to inform me of a substitution. I changed my order as what was presented was wholly unappealing unless you were 6 years old leaving my partners to sit and wait while her meal got cold. No offer to remake hers to serve us at the same time, as if it was a fast food order instead of a dining experience. The dishes were nothing special, the Goat cheese agnolotti was overly sweet. Cavatelli with crab and corn sauce was very heavy handed. Did not live up to expectations, especially with so many alternatives in walking distance.

I finally went here for lunch to try it out since I work just a block away. I told the hostess I needed a quick lunch she said great! And I was seated. A long 15 minutes or so passed and someone finally comes to fill my water cup and take my order. I put in an order for their 30ish dollar lunch dish. Another long 25 minutes went by and no one came to fill my water and the food was not ready. I needed to go back to work and tried to flag down a manager to tell them they were too slow, but alas no one was at the front booth or anywhere to be fount - no waters, no busboy, no one. Worst part is, they weren’t even full. The family next to me was also looking around in confusion as to why things were taking so long. Fail all around.
