What people say, in short
Savio Volpe draws strong support for Italian food, with diners singling out agnolotti, pasta and roast chicken. The chef's menu and family-style dinner earn praise, and one diner enjoys the room's romantic feel. Others find it crowded or loud, question the value, or feel the food has slipped. One commenter found the attitude pretentious, so enthusiasm is substantial rather than unanimous.
