Savinya Review

Savinya is part of the Hotel del Mar and known for its outstanding haute cuisine. It's Viña's most refined and expensive restaurant, and the place to go if you're looking to blow your budget on a special meal. Still, when compared to restaurants of the same caliber in the U.S., the prices at Savinya could be considered quite reasonable. The menu changes seasonally, but owing to the chef's Italian heritage, the cuisine tends to be slanted toward richly elegant pasta creations, impeccably executed and blending uncommon flavors and textures that work surprisingly well together. A white truffle infusion here and a foie gras sliver there add a lavish decadence that transforms an otherwise hearty Mediterranean staple into haute cuisine. For purists, the unadulterated meat dishes provide intense flavors and a silken texture. Attentive, agreeable service comes with the price, as does an elegant-chic ambience, and gigantic picture windows that offer a gorgeous view overlooking the ocean.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
