Review summary

What guests say about Savini Petit Champlain

Savini Petit Champlain stands out mainly for its terrace and atmosphere, which are often described as beautiful, with a lovely view of the river and Château Frontenac. Most customers also enjoy the food, especially the pizzas, pastas, and tiramisu, as well as the generally attentive and warm service. However, a few reviews mention delays, inconsistent service, and prices that are considered high for the quality. It is a good choice if you’re looking for an outing in a striking setting, but there can be some misses depending on the time.

We had an incredible meal at Savini Ristorante. Every single dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor: Beef Carpaccio: Wonderfully seasoned, delicate, and perfectly balanced with fresh arugula, shaved parmesan, croutons, and balsamic glaze. Fried Calamari: Crispy, golden, and not greasy at all—paired great with the dipping sauce and fresh lemon. Mortadella & Pesto Pizza: The crust had an amazing leopard-spotted bake with a light, chewy texture, generously topped with savory mortadella and fresh pesto dollops. Seafood Squid Ink Pasta: The highlight of the savoury courses! Loaded with fresh mussels, tender scallops, and succulent shrimp in a rich, flavorful sauce. Tiramisu: Light, creamy, and indulgent without being overly sweet, finished with fresh raspberries and a ladyfinger. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. Highly recommend Savini if you are looking for top-tier Italian food and a fantastic atmosphere!

In early October 2026, my husband and I had a wonderful late lunch at Savini in Quebec City. The food was delicious, the customer service was top-notch, and the restaurant’s atmosphere was very welcoming. I would especially like to thank our waiter/bartender Anthony who provided us with great food recommendations (pizza, pasta, etc), along with a very refreshing, complimentary bottle of Acqua Panna Italian Spring Water, which we really enjoyed after a full morning of walking & touring Quebec City. Special thanks to Anthony for his kind, thoughtful & excellent customer service. I highly recommend Savini — it’s a great place for a very satisfying meal in Quebec City.

We absolutely loved our dining here. Marilou was FABULOUS- so friendly, helpful, and attentive! While the food is on the more expensive side, we absolutely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a real Italian restaurant with French charm. Calamari, Red Sangria, and beef carpaccio = EPIC! Both of our pasta main dishes were fresh, flavorful and very very tasty. All in all, get your butt over here and enjoy some good food friend!

We were in town for a few days as part of our Backroads group. The four of us were staying at a nearby hotel and went for a walk to find dinner. Glad we found this place. Food: They have a diverse menu with lots to choose from. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, which had just enough for four full glasses. That was a very good choice. We also got the bruschetta appetizer, which was delicious. For dinner, I chose the entree portion of the salmon tartare, and my wife ordered the vodka pasta. The tartare was good and came with a small Caesar salad, some croquettes, and a small portion of frites. My wife enjoyed her pasta dish, which came with a meatball. Service: The service was pleasant but a little spotty. It was our server's very first day on the job, and they weren't always available for more water or other requests. Atmosphere: Like the other businesses in this part of town, the restaurant is in a restored period building. The upstairs looked formal, with a large bar. We were seated on the lower level, which felt more casual. It was busy, and I thought the tables were a bit too close together. With so many customers, it was also a little noisy. There was an outdoor patio that would have been a great place to dine on a warmer night. The meal was good. I'm not usually one to pick on prices, but it definitely felt like we were paying a premium for the experience. We wondered whether the traffic from cruise ships might have something to do with that.
