Salvatori's Fort Wayne North

This was my husband and I first time, but a friend has been here many times. He invited us. I have to say I was very impressed. This is the only Italian restaurant I've ever liked. I just don't like Italian food - but this food was good. I ordered the meatballs and they were okay but it was Italian sausage which I should have realized, I tried my husband's spaghetti and I thought it was good which really surprised me. I would definitely come back and get the spaghetti. Our waiter Wyatt was so friendly and attentive. I really like the service style here. It is what a lot of restaurants should have. This is a good business practice. It's no surprise that this restaurant has been so successful. I felt so pampered. They also don't need to charge exorbitant prices for this experience. We were there on Friday, March 6th, 2026 around 6:30 p.m.

Our server Kaylin was amazing. Best service We have had at a restaurant in a long time. She was very patient with us and explained everything thoroughly. Helped us with everything. Food was amazing. Prices were affordable. Environment was welcoming. Very clean and comfortable. Will be back!

While I still find Zianno's to be better, I thought the food here and service were both great! A little pricey, but certainly worth it. The berry tiramisu was phenomenal.

Good Service, But Food Falls Short of Expectations** As newcomers to the area, we've now tried three different Salvatore's locations. While we appreciate the consistently great service and broad selection of dishes, the food itself didn't quite meet expectations as traveling foodies. Unfortunately, many of the dishes we ordered--from entrees to salads--tended to be overly greasy and salty. Even the tiramisu was underwhelming, lacking the quality we've found in local bakeries like Kroger. That said, Salvatore's has a lot of potential. If the flavors and preparation were refined, we'd happily return. For now, it's a decent option, but not yet the standout Italian dining experience we were hoping for.

My family and I were on our way back from Chicago tonight and decided to stop at the “Washington center” location for a bite to eat because we love the one in New Haven. This location fell extremely short of our expectations and we spent a boat load of money and felt as if we were underwhelmed. It felt as if we were in a fazolis, there were workers sitting on the benches laughing extremely loud. We were the only table in there and our waitress never brought my husband a refill of his water until he had to ask. Then our daughter got a salad with her meal that came with a big piece of “hair” in it and they just offered to remake the salad afterwards. The manicotti that I ordered was subpar and lukewarm. My husband’s pizza was luke warm and tasted like gas station pizza. The only thing we found enjoyable were the breadsticks. We will not be visiting this location again. We used to love the New Haven location because we truly thought it was authentic Italian but after speaking with our waitress at the Washington center location we found out that there are three owners and none of them are Italian so we’re questioning the authentic Italian.

The food was better then some of the pricier Italian restaurants we've been to. The server Sadie was very welcoming and one of the friendliest servers. I watched and noticed that all the servers I seen were very good. The manager or owner even walked by and checked in on us. It was very convenient to many hotels in area to. House Sangria is Amazing as well.

The value for the money is the name of the game here. I mean, the “small” portion sizes are massive. Insane massive. I can’t imagine what the large size is. Super solid experience. Service was top notch and came complete with to go cups without asking. I would come again for sure. Pictures included are half of the original small portions. Seriously.

I took my grandchildren here for our valentines date lunch as we had never been here before. I have Celiac disease and a gluten allergy and thought I couldn't eat here. The waitress was knowledgeable about Celiac disease and was very kind and professional! The food was beyond delicious!!! My fellow gf people...the pizza here taste everybit as good as a flour based pizza!!!!! This will be my go to pizza place from now on! And I cannot wait to try there pasta!! The atmosphere was great until a large party next to us had an argument amongst themselves. It turned volatile very quickly and things were said that I as an adult was shocked to hear, let alone my grandchildren and all of the other children in that room that were with a different group. Several employees heard this and were in and out of the room, but never approached that table. We were done eating and left quickly. The food and service were amazing though!!

One of our favorite Italian spots. Locally owned and operated. Everything made in house. We arrived shortly after opening time. Not busy. We prefer it that way. Quiet and easy to carry a conversation. Our server Kayleigh was friendly and helpful. We ordered the Bosco Sticks for an appetizer. Love them! We split the Mama Daphne ordered without red onions and each had a Caesar salad. While the kitchen did make the Mama Daphne with the red onions, the taste was excellent. Can never go wrong with that combo. To make up for the error, they gave us $20 in gift cards which we put towards the meal. A very good meal (except for the onions) for $11.00 and some change. Not bad! Definitely recommend!

We ordered a quick dinner from here. It is nice they have 1/2 orders of most meals but the size difference in 1/2 orders varies greatly. My daughter got 1/2 order spaghetti parm which was simple but the cheese was really thick. The portion size was very generous and filled the container. I got 1/2 ordder of ravioli and had 5 ravioli total, in other worss not even 1/2 of the same container which was disappointing. Both had good flavor and if looking for simple Italian would definitely recommend.

Love this place. The food is all great! The service is spot on! The atmosphere and the the music totally reminds me of eating at my grandparents house.

My wife and I visited on 11/2/25. She ordered stuffed shells and she loved them. I ordered the all meat calzone. They don't skimp on the ingredients that's for sure. The pepperoni was too spicy for my palate. Others may love it. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We will visit again.

My group got an order for pickup - one of the meals got left out of the bag. Check your orders before you leave! There was supposed to be melted cheese over the baked ravioli, and no melty cheese was there. Otherwise the rest of the group enjoyed our food (and shared with the person with no meal). I had a salad with salmon on top and it was good but not anything special or exciting, like I'd eat it again but I'm not going to crave it. Overall solid three stars.

This review is for the Mana Daphane sandwich. This sandwich is loaded with meats. The bread is soft but nicely grilled. This kinda tastes like a Italian Stromboli on bread - absolutely delicious!!

Food was bland, I had the Alfredo with "grilled" chicken. Pretty sure it was boiled, I even asked. They said it was grilled and that the marks probably wore off due to being mixed in the sauce???? If you get chicken, I'd probably get the blackened or crispy for better taste. The lone thin slice of bread that comes with your dinner was bland. The Cesar salad was decent tasting but very wilted

We were in town for a basketball tournament and needed to squeeze in a good lunch between games with about 20 people. We made arrangements ahead of time & they took great care of us. The portions were enormous - especially the sandwiches and reg pasta dishes - even for 16/17 year old boys. I ordered the lunch spaghetti and it was a great size and came with a good sized salad. The value for the price is phenomenal. We would absolutely go back.

Despite having a large group the restaurant easily accommodated us. The food was served in huge portions and tasted great. Despite a couple of hiccups with the checks our server did a good job sorting out our complex orders.

Everything was great! I had spaghetti and 1 meatball. I couldn't eat it all. My wife got manicotti. That she ate all of!

Wow! The hotel manager recommended this place. It was amazing I ordered the Basilicata it was amazing! I sat in the bar area and the bartender was very friendly and offered great recommendations. The best recommendation was to order the small...OMG... 2 people could split the small. I sat in the bar area it was nice. Highly recommend!

The food is delicious. If you get carry out make sure you get your whole order or you will be driving back to get the rest with a lame apology.

This is a great local place that also does an amazing amount of takeout. I sat in the bar area it was nice and quiet with TVs to watch. My salad and dinner were both outstanding and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommended Italian

What is not to LOVE ... at SALVATORI'S! Like for real ...from the minute we walked in ... to the minute we walked out complete PERFECTION! The place knows how to welcome their guests! We were treated like family. Who better to prepare your meal ... but Family! The drinks are top notch! Our group are HUGE fans of the blackberry old fashions. The salads are fresh & busting with Italian flavors! The main course ... well I haven't had anything that wasn't a 10 out of a 10 ... but tonight... the monthly special... Petros' Pasta ... folks RUN do not walk ... this masterpiece is a 12 out of 10! We all know the portions are huge here but wowza our to go container weighed 3lbs lol. Seriously what's not to love ... breaded chicken parm ... (delicately I might add) &"with a creamy Fettuccine Alfredo. Chefs kiss! Finally... our server Skyler .. this young man was the real deal! Customer service & hospitality... 12 out of 10! He's now our family too! This soon to be a dad was perfection!!! Treat this guy well ... he's a GEM! Salvatori I think you just keep getting better with age. You truly have an amazing team ... kudos to that well oiled machine - perfection!

Used to have great sausage rolls but it seems they have switched to leftover sausage for the pizzas to make them.

Honestly, I think the food is Bland. I love the huge portions, but not really good flavors in the pastas. The 4 times I went and ordered salad with no onions, it always came with onions, unfortunately. Drinks are expensive, and the sauces are bland and runny.

Italian is one of the toughest cuisines to make food the right way, but Salvatori's did authentic food perfectly! We sat down by the bar area and our server was such a sweetheart! She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took excellent care of our visit all while keeping herself busy around the clock. I ordered the pasta apulia with Italian beef. Their pasta was cooked just right with plenty of sauce, and the beef was juicy with some moderate amount of spice. After a deep dive into finishing the pasta, the dinner was well worth the price! The ambiance was very one of a kind, where the bar side was very well lit with ample lighting. I absolutely recommend trying this restaurant instead of settling for boring chain food. I can't wait to come back again!

I ordered an Italian beef flatbread. I was concerned but interested. It ended up being very tasty and even dipping it in the au jus was good. The ambiance reminds me of a Pizza Hut but nicer right down to the red tumbler glasses. The best part of the meal was the service! The whole staff was super friendly and nice. It was the end of the night and we felt like everyone just started their shift. Full of oomph!

I had spaghetti with giant meatballs, cucumber tomato salad, and of course breadsticks and it was all delicious! Service is always given with a smile.

I'm really surprised by all the great reviews. The service is top notch. But the food...It was soooooo under seasoned and just kind of boring. I do want us to try it again and get something else. Pros: The waiter was on top of it! He was great! Probably the best Moscato I've ever had in my life!! Large portions. Cons: Most of the food was very bland. I had to add a ridiculous amount of salt to my spinach ravioli. The breadsticks could not have been more mediocre. I just expected so much since the reviews were so good!

Always so good! We had Bosco sticks for the first time. Sooo good! We got the cheese dip and the marinara. I actually favored the marinara dip, but this was excellent! Try the Mamma Daphne sandwich! Dip that meaty sandwich in the house Italian dressing. OMG!!! Or try the Chicken Parmesan! There's so much food! It's so good!!!

So the food was delicious but let's talk about the portion size. The plate of baked spaghetti was sooooo large that i shared it with 3 other people when I got home. The breadsticks were so delicious and came with 2 different dipping sauces. The white sauce was ammmmmmaaaazzzzing. So delicious the next visit I will get the spinach ravioli that comes with the sauce. I was so hesitant to get the sauce because I didn't know what it would be like but regretted not getting it immediately after. It was every flavor I never need I needed.

What a wonderful treat in Ft Wayne! In town for a basketball tournament and the service was among the best I've had in any restaurant in years. From the little touches in the waiting room to the attentive service it was a pleasure dining here. Portion size was so much we had lunch for the next day. I will be back and bring a group next time I'm in Ft Wayne.

Prior to visiting this location I had been a loyal patron to the New Haven location. That location is in a gas station and small as heck. But this location is a real restaurant! It's huge and very nicely designed. It looks like a nice Italian restaurant indeed. Salvatori's is amazing!!! One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in my life, including in Rome. Chicken parmesan is my fave. It's so filling! But the spinach cheese ravioli is incredible as well. I also like the olive oil and pepper dish too. Service is prompt and the food comes out quickly. I love this placen

a large group of us stopped in after wedding without reservations. staff did an amazing job of accommodating us. Service was outstanding and food exceptional (as always). Thank you for making the occasion even more memorable.

Mama mia, terrific spagetti and meatballs!! Wonderful service and welcoming staff. We were passing thru travelling home to Fort Payne Alabama and stopped nearby for the night. What a great treat!

This is my new favorite restaurant. The food is delicious..no matter what you order. Fernando was our waiter and he was fabulous... Attentive..got the order right, and greeted us with the nicest smile. He's the best and I told him he'll be the next manager soon. The manager was great too. Can't remember her name. But checked in with us a few times. Wonderful experience and will let everyone know about Salvatories. Jillian Short.

Everything, you cannot miss at this restaurant. The bar is friendly the drinks are flavorful. The food is delicious whether you want pizza or something else off the menu. My personal preference is their lasagna, hot from the oven dripping with cheese add a little red pepper flakes and wow. But if I want something for two meals I order the baked pasta. That's it I take it any longer I am off maybe I'll see you there?

I was extremely impressed with the service. Our server was great, plus the owner or manager stopped by several times to make sure we were having a good experience. When I mentioned that I didn't expect so many veggies in the linguine with clam sauce, they brought me a different dish at no charge! The Vusili Scampi was delicious! Bread and marinara sauce were great too.

The service was great! My server was very friendly and attentive and the manager also was very friendly as well. I can tell they strive to be the best in service. I personally am not into Pepsi products, so no soda for me today, but their water was good. I got the Italian Beef Sandwich and a side cucumber tomato salad. The salad was good and reminded me of how my mom used to make it when I was a kid - I do wish it had a little more salt, but there is a shaker to add as you please at the table. The sandwich was good, but IMO not an Italian Beef sandwich. The flatbread that they used tasted very good and fresh, but it was not what I expected for this type of sandwich. Also they put cheese on their version which I did not realize until after I got it - that's on me though it was listed on the menu and I overlooked it. I feel it was more a Philly Cheesesteak quesadilla than an Italian Beef Sandwich. The beef and broth they had were very tasty though! Not bad - just not what I was looking for. I'd like to try maybe some of their pasta dishes and breadsticks next time I go to give them another shot.

My family and I went there for lunch and it was delightful. The wait staff, very polite and knowledgeable about the menu items, and the restaurant is very clean. Food was good but, the berry tiramisu is on point.

Good Italian food. Ambiance is ok. Service is friendly and quick. Price isn't too bad. Nice place for a quick and easy authentic italian

My boyfriend and I went to Salvatori's on Washington Center for the first time last night. Now, I've been to the one on Dupont and loved the food, great service, and casual atmosphere, but it was a completely different atmosphere at this location. Washington Center feels a bit more polished for a date night, while maintaining the inviting vibe of the other. It was great service from being greeted by the hosts and managers at the entry to our knowledgeable and accommodating server. That's before mentioning the huge portions of delicious food at a very reasonable price! The Chianti was perfect with the hand-rolled manicotti and meat sauce. The mussels appetizer was perfectly prepared in the most amazing tomato based sauce/broth. We have so many leftovers that we're excited to eat today! Shout out to our server (Johnny, I believe?) who was one of the best servers I've seen. Ever. His section was completely full, and somehow he has a presence that put us at ease and never made us feel rushed. Thanks for a great evening! I can't wait to come back!

Both our meals were very good. Portions were ample. Service was good. Cheese bread appetizer was good. However, the only water available, tap water, is the WORST water I have ever tasted. It's not the restaurant's fault- it's the city water. But it made the ice tea taste weird, too. I'm just not into drinking chemicals. I really wish they had bottled water available. Normally I'd have ordered wine, but we'd already visited a meadery and I didn't want to drink more alcohol. It was not optimal to go through the whole dinner without a drink. And it makes me wonder- the pasta cooks in that water, too. Again, at our hotel- the water was also awful tasting. If the wait staff already acknowledges that it's bad- why not just have bottled options.

Linguine with Chopped Clams Linguine tossed with sweet chopped clams, mushrooms, peas, carrots, fresh spinach, and your choice of a garlic butter sauce or light red sauce. 15.99 So this is what I ordered. What I got was some canned baby clams, a tiny piece of spinach, a few noodles and a TON of frozen peas and carrots. I was hungry and excited about a new Italian place! This was by far the worst Italian meal I've ever had. And close to the worst restaurant meal. The little Caesar salad was almost as bad as the entree. The tiny piece of bread on top of each was pretty good! I won't be going back.

The food is amazing and the service was great even tho there was a lot of customers eating at the time. The location is well maintained nice clean environment.

Overrated IMOO. I rate The Italian Connection as better Italian restaurants better than Salvatore's.

My team and I travel to Ft Wayne every other year for our alpaca national show! This is the best restaurant I eaten at so far. Everyone at the table- there were 10 of us- were swooning. I had the Cavatelli Pesto. Wow! I ordered the small and took half home. The periods were large and oh-so-good! Next to me, someone had the Fettuccini Alfredo. Excellent! The drinks were good and the Cannolis were good. Casual and easy with a true Italian flair.

We had dinner on New Years Eve 2022 around 6:30/7:00 pm it wasn't crowded at all. I have never been here before, as we are from Michigan. (We decided on a whim to try it out). To our surprise it was incredibly good. I had no idea this restaurant was rated so highly within the local community! I was glad we picked something local and not a chain restaurant. For appetizer - we had the meatballs. The meatballs came with a homemade sauce with green peppers topped with cheese. My husband had the calzone and I had the spinach ravioli. The entrees were large as the ravioli comes in orders of 2 or 4. Get the 4 so you can leftovers for lunch or dinner tomorrow. You won't regret it. The ravioli comes with a white alfredo sauce with mushrooms and a skinny toasted slice of bread. The calzone was baked with hearty ingredients. Husband ate half as it was quite large, but glad he had leftovers for tomorrow! Husband ordered a beer and I had the house sangria. Everything was delicious! Once we finished we headed up to the bar and finished our drinks and watched the Michigan game with the bar staff and folks in the bar. Everyone was super friendly and everyone chimed in on the game. We had a great New Year's- I couldn't ask for a more authentic Italian restaurant. Definitely a return visit-a must for anyone in the area!

I had my first visit to Salvatori's ! What an excellent dining experience. I was quite pleasantly surprised. The food, vibe, ambiance were all very nice. I went to their newest location, on Washington Center Rd. They've got a nice space with a quiet warm decor. There is plenty of parking, albeit, the front spaces are somewhat cramped, to my view. The entrance and exit are easy to access from Washington Center. The staff appeared efficient and cordial. The wait was minimal and the price was comparable to other dining experiences in the area. I had the sausage and peppers and my companion had the fettuccine Alfredo. They were each flavored well with ample portions. The sausage and peppers a nice thick rigatoni pasta with thick slices of onion and bell pepper. The sausage had a nice mild flavor. The fettuccine had a nice thick cream sauce and was flavored well. Each dinner dish was so large, they cooks have easily been shared 3 ways. We had so much food leftover. The clear winner of this visit was the breadsticks. They are amazing. They were so flavorful. Each bit better than the rest. If there was a favorite the food and breadsticks each share the position.

It was Cind de Mayo, so we headed out for Italian in order to miss all the crowds at The Fort's fine Mexican establishments. We were seated right away and ordered an appetizer of breadsticks and drinks. My wife had an Italian margarita which was quite tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. They re-did the interior from when it was a Richard's restaurant and it looks great. Everything we ordered was tasty, hot and fresh. It's nice to have another local Italian option in the city. My only "knock" was that the drinks were a tad pricey, but we'll be back.

The service and the food are fantastic! I highly recommend going to Salvatori's you will not be disappointed.

Food and service was good. Had an early dinner with friends and we hadn't seen each other for a year, on a Tuesday night. Restaurant was less than half full, but after we paid, our waiter told us they would need our table. We felt our business was not welcomed. We probably stood another 20 minutes outside to finish our conversation. We won't be back. I alone spent $50. If I were management I would've offered another table so we could finish our visit. Management was not cordial, which added to our dissatisfaction of Salvatori's!

The service isn't bad;however I personally have a preference for Casa Italian food -vs- Salvatori's. Otherwise the service is pleasant.

We were too tired to go out and eat but too tired to cook. That is the reason I called Salvatori's for take out. Since I am way too cheap to pay for delivery my son was kind enough to pick up dinner for us. So glad we ordered our food from Salvatore's as it was absolutely delicious. Everything was pipping hot when it arrived and cooked perfectly. I know how hard it is to keep food this consistently good. But Salvatore's nailed it. Burp.

They've done a fantastic job remodeling this place into Salvatori's. The bar is a great place for lunch, cocktail, or a dinner. The food is the same as you're used to getting at the other locations, which means it's great. You won't be disappointed by your meal or portion size here.

One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Wayne so far! Excellent service - everyone was super friendly and greeted us upon arrival and frequently checked in to make sure our dining experience met our expectations. The Italian margarita was a whole pint of margarita! The lasagna and chicken parmesan were delicious!! The chicken parmesan was about 3 servings and tasted just as great as leftovers. Will definitely return!

Food tasty with way too much food for one to eat. Make sure you get a doggy bag. Service was quick and friendly. Everybody made me feel at home.
