- LLiam1 review5.0Dined on May 23, 2026My friends and I went for my birthday. We got the short rib rice balls and the calamari off the appetizer menu. Both were great. I didn’t love the aioli that came with the riceballs but my friends really enjoyed it. For dinner, we shared a few of the smaller pizzas. We got the margherita VIP, the FIG, and the siciliana. My only wish is that the FIG pizza had a bit more flavor. Maybe hot honey or Calabrian chili paste or even more fig jam and some flaky salt. For dessert we got the panna cotta, the tiramisu, and the lava cake. Flavor wise everything was amazing and the staff put a candle in my lava cake for my birthday and sang which was nice. The lava cake didn’t really have “lava” but the flavor made up for it. The ambiance in the back dining area is lovely. I will absolutely be back.More infoSavelli Restaurant and Bar$$$$• Italian• Cobble Hill•4.7
