"The menu at this homey, upscale spot changes often — and the whole restaurant skips the snowy months for pops-up in California — but you can expect a handcrafted focus on seasonality and beautiful pastas, alongside some of the best service in town. Typically on each menu iteration are certain staples, like the lobster pasta with its decadent creamy sauce, and the chicken parm that’s big enough for two meals. The meatballs with roasted plum tomato sauce are things of beauty, too. Just remember to hit up the ATM beforehand, as Sal’s is cash only. According to Siobhan Carew, who co-owns Sal’s with her daughter, Michela Carew-Murphy, they are aiming to reopen the spot for the season around June 29." - Nathan Tavares
