Savoie Italian Eatery in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch Town Center has operated a French-Italian dining room and cocktail bar on Birch Road since 1981, positioning itself across from the AMC theater at the eastern Chula Vista shopping and entertainment hub. The wine-bar program pours Italian and French varietals alongside house-crafted cocktails, sharing the Otay Ranch craft-beverage corridor with Novo Brazil Brewing – Otay Ranch and its rotating tap roster. Entrée highlights include Maine lobster ravioli in creamy marinara, braised octopus with morita chile pesto and cannellini beans, and a bucatini carbonara with pancetta, peas, and shaved cured egg yolk. The restaurant's live-music and DJ programming runs Wednesday through Saturday, drawing a pre- and post-event crowd that also frequents North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre during concert season on the Chula Vista bayfront. The eggplant rollatini layers slices of grilled eggplant rolled around a four-cheese and spinach stuffing, baked under marinara and melted mozzarella in a 550°F convection oven until the top browns and blisters.
