Rated 4.9 Stars OpenTable, 3 Stars "EXCELLENT," The Bergen Record and Voted "BEST OF BERGEN" by (201) Magazine and the Bergen Magazine year after year. Savini is a Sophisticated, Award Winning, Northern Italian/American Restaurant. Considered one of the most attractive restaurants in Bergen County, food is served at Savini in what was once a colonial home. What remains of the original only contributes to the aesthetics. But it is a positive culinary experience that diners seek and that is what they get at Savini. It excels in the three most significant barometers of a restaurant's health: Food, Service and Atmosphere. The cuisine is Northern Italian/Continental. Specialties cover the gamut – a selection of fresh fish delivered daily, homemade pasta, veal, chicken, steaks and chops. Enjoy coffee, an after-dinner drink and perhaps late night music in the lounge. Our cuisine and menu will please the most discerning palate and is both distinctive and unique.

• Steakhouse • Ramsey

Booked 15 times today

Steakhouse located at Ramsey Country ClubStory behind the name “Rare Bird” The name Rare Bird is inspired by the Latin phrase “Rara Avis,” which is also the motto of Ramsey Country Club. Historically, rara avis refers to a “rare bird” — something extraordinary, unique, and seldom seen. In modern slang, it often refers to a child prodigy or a person of exceptional talent. This name bridges the cultural heritage of RCC with our culinary identity — a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience that blends the artistry of an Italian steakhouse with the precision of sushi craft. It’s also a playful nod to “rare,” evoking perfectly cooked steaks and uncommon quality in every detail. Rare Bird is more than a name — it’s a statement of distinction, creativity, and excellence.

We were a party of three for dinner. This was the second time we have visited your restaurant, although it had been three years since the last time we were in the area. The food was delicious and moderately priced for the quality and size of the portions. Two of us had soup (red lentil and chicken). For our entrees we had chicken shish kebab, Sultan's delight with lamb and Pistachio Beyti Kebab. Two of us had turkish coffee after dinner. We will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we are in the area.
