Yelp.com Review - by Angelia S.

1.0 of 5 stars. At first the look the restaurant is small and cozy... but the service was 'unwarm' ... not really bad.. the waitress just seemed kind of annoyed she was waiting on us.. so the cozy feeling was gone...

Yelp.com Review - by D R.

2.0 of 5 stars. Savelli's should get credit not only for being locally owned but also for being a decent place to byob for a night out. Among other things, it's not Naples, and everyone does their job without...

Yelp.com Review - by Mary T.

1.0 of 5 stars. The one good thing about this place is you can bring in a bottle of wine for a corkage charge. If you decide to eat here, stick with something where the temperature kills the bacteria. Those items...

Savellis is one of a kind

this restaurant does not freeze anything. i think that it is rude and very disrespectful to spread rumors about a local restaurant that has been wowing the knoxville area for over 17 years. don't you ...

good food

I do love this place and always have. I do agree that the service can be iffy at times and not always perfect, but let's remember that this place is totally anti-corporate and not the average place. The hours...

Poor service & management by Julie k. at InsiderPages

Savelli'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 great or even good for that matter. On a busy night I feel like they treat you like you...

My Second Family

I 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...

Always Great Food

I'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...

Disappointment at Savelli's

Having been to Savelli's several times in the past it was a natural first choice for a meal with family from out of town. Boy were we disappointed. The service was terrible; our meals came out at different times; the parmesan cheese on the table was spoiled resulting in 3 meals having to be remade; the ricotta cheese in my stuffed shells was spoiled (on the second go round for my meal); we have yet to receive any type of apology or accomodation for the poor food quality and service. I don't think I will be returning.

A bit of Little Italy in Knoxville

Savelli'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...

The closest thing to authentic italian in K'ville

You 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...

Family kitchen dining atmosphere - high on value

Having 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 we...

Miss the old Savellis!

Back before Mama and Papa Savelli split, Savelli's was THE place to get Italian food in my book. The atmosphere was quaint, the family business was heartwarming and the food was just plain GREAT. I ...

Great Neighborhood Place

A wonderful little family-run Italian restaurant. I live in Knoxville and highly recommend over any chain Italian restaurant. Reasonably priced and BYO wine.
