We went for restaurant week and everything was great. Good size portions, very good flavors and we love the creativity of the food. The only thing we wish was that it was a bit warmer in there. I'm typically someone who does not feel the cold much but even I left my sweater on. Will definitely be back again.
Saba is always my go to for special events or date night and it's always my first recommendation when people ask for restaurants! Their carbonara is amazing, pizza is delicious, and their limoncello is out of this world, I need that recipe! Jackie was our server this last visit and she was such a lovely person, thank you so everything!!
My friends and I selected this restaurant on a whim as we went to an event at Stan Mansion and wanted someplace not too far. What a great choice it was. Everything was excellent. The service, the fresh pasta, the cocktails, and every staff member we encountered were all great. Will definitely come back again!
We had a wonderful server and the food was first rate. Nice to have parking as an extra bonus. Will be back soon !
Went for a New Year's Eve dinner. We were surprised that bread was not being served that night, and the Wednesday pizza special was unavailable, even though it was advertised on OpenTable when I made the reservation.
The service was very slow. Several things were not brought or brought late. It took multiple requests to get things fixed.
Great Happy Hour but the dining room was freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was cold air coming out of the vents. And the women's bathroom lights were barely functioning - it was dark AND COLD.
It was our first time and I've been wanting to try it.. sadly the place inside was freezing and cold. When I walked to the bathroom the temperature read 65 degrees but felt like 60 inside the restaurant. We made a comment to the server and was ignored Make sure you wear a heavy sweater as we kept our jackets on
This was a Friday during rush hour. But waited too long for our first order of drinks. 2 martinis. Appetizers were good and came out at an exceptional time. Ordered our 2nd order of drinks ( glass of wine & martini ) at the same time with our entrees. Drinks did not come out until I was a couple bites away from finishing my entree! Ordered a glass of whisky neat, with my dessert which came out after some minutes receiving the dessert. I Usually have about 4-5 drinks with my dinner to try a couple of things. Would recommend maybe just getting a bottle of wine instead. Food is tasty and staff is nice.
The ambiance, food, and service were all excellent! The staff was attentive, and every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The only downside was that the seating area felt a bit crowded, which made it somewhat noisy at times. Overall, though, it was a great dining experience and I'd definitely come back.

This was our first time to dine at SABA and won't be our last. The food and service was outstanding! The arancini balls were delicious and our entrees were bucatini bolognese, sea bass, and eggplant parmesan. Everyone was beyond happy with their choices. We ended with the tiramisu and it did not disappoint. Thanks, SABA, for a wonderful evening!
All the deals they have throughout the week are great! We went for martini Monday & had a great experience. Staff & food was excellent!
Nice, convenient neighborhood joint near the Logan Theater. Among many Italian eateries in town, it's middlin' but not pricey. Service was very good on this night.
Whether I’m celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or simply treating myself on a quiet Thursday night, Saba is my first choice — and it never disappoints. I’ve come with friends, with family, and even by myself, and every single time, I’ve been greeted with warmth, genuine hospitality, and food that speaks straight to the soul.
The dishes here don’t just arrive — they make an entrance. You can see it in the way heads turn as plates are delivered, hear it in the excitement at each table, and feel it in the joy that fills the room. Every meal feels deeply personal, like it was made just for you. Everything about Saba is intentional, comforting, and unforgettable.
I never leave without a full heart and a full belly. I’ll never pass up a chance to return — because Saba isn’t just where I eat. It’s where I feel most at home and I can swear by that. Can’t wait for my next meal there♥️

The portion sizes here are generous, and the mushroom pizza was delicious! I really enjoyed their Caesar salad too since we ordered one to share, they kindly split it and served it separately, which was such a thoughtful touch. Service was attentive and welcoming throughout. This spot works perfectly for a nice romantic dinner or a big gathering with family and friends. They also have solid vegetarian options, and their happy hour deals are pretty good.
