Salumi

Very nice tapas bar. Food was excellent and the drinks were delicious. Favors of each dish were unique and refreshing. Would highly recommend the Dry-Aged Steak Board. To the best of my knowledge, the menu is seasonal.

Food did not disappoint! They definitely don’t skimp on the acid, Garlic Shrimp and Branzino were rippin’. Octopus was cooked…perfectly. Probably some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Difficult to get right and I’m elated I took a chance on it. Pound cake with sweet cream and berries was delicious! Wines were good. Fairly typical and classic selection. You’ll find something you’ll enjoy there.

They are sister restaurants with Plancha in Garden City. What are the odds, we just are at Plancha 2 days before. The food is great at both locations. My only suggestion is, since I had the dry aged steak board at both locations, I think it’s a bit overcooked if the target is medium rare.

I’ve been going since this place opened 10+ years ago. Literally one of my favorite places on earth. If you know me, you know I love Salumi. Great owners and staff, and the menu changes all the time so you’ll never get sick of it. Soooo good!

Stopped by around 1:00 on a Saturday for the first time and was BLOWN away by the food. The restaurant and the bathrooms were perfectly clean, and the atmosphere was so relaxed and laid back. We got the garlic shrimp (10/10), Milano sandwich (oh my god 10/10) and the bocadillo bites (5/10). Garlic shrimp was probably the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. My boyfriend loved the Milano sandwich so much he started to cry tears of joy. The bocadillo bites were kinda gross IMO, the pork belly was just fat globs but I forgive them bc the rest of the food was spectacular. Cant wait to come back here and try the drinks, I’d definitely recommend!!!

A fantastic wine and tapas bar with impeccable cozy vibes and the best charcuterie. While it’s pretty unassuming from the outside, just a standard looking shopping block, but inside it’s a high end wine bar. It’s the right level of dim lighting, filled with wood tones and fun details. There’s two rooms of seating, solid music, and the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to other tapas, they have two set charcuterie boards, the Italian and the Spanish. Both have a fantastic mix of incredibly high quality meats, cheeses, and fruits, and bread. The portions are massive, everything is delicious, and absolutely worth the price. I personally prefer the Italian Board, but you really can’t go wrong with any of it. Overall, highly recommended for a date night!

This place is amazing! Went there for brunch on a Saturday and basically had the whole place to ourselves. The food was delicious and the iced coffee had COFFEE ICE CUBES!! Highly recommend giving this place a try. The aesthetic was adorable and I still can’t atop thinking about the mason jar light fixtures. So cute!! 😍 The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the prices- a bit high for small portions that don’t fully fill you up. But still worth going once in a while to treat yourself!!

A wonderful place for brunch. I am so excited to go back and try tapas there. As you can see from the pictures the cheese board is amazing and worth every penny. Food was delicious, fresh and very well presented.

I've been to Salumi numerous times and love it! I'm writing this review specifically about their NYE party. It was very intimate and exactly the vibe my friends and I were looking for. It was open bar and food for 2 hours for $55 which was a great deal. This included any cocktail, wine or beer. The food options were pasta salad, shrimp cocktail and potato salad- I didn't have any but my friends said they were good. We did expect the food to be more along the lines of the food they serve at Salumi, but regardless it was good. If you're reading this review next year wondering if you should go for NYE- if you are looking for good drinks, a lowkey vibey place to hang out with friends, this is the place for you.

The experience here was a bit disappointing. We were handed a QR code for the menu with no additional guidance or help, which felt a bit impersonal. The ambiance was nice, though the flimsy paper napkins didn't exactly add to the charm. To make matters worse, the waiter only came over to our table to take our order. Another server approached us with our bill before we had even asked for it. It seemed like the service could use some improvement in terms of attentiveness and overall customer care.

My wife and I went to Salumi for lunch today. Everything was great. Perfect lunch! My wife summed it up -she's so tired of going out to eat and the food and experience is just "Meh." Today, she was happy we picked Salumi for lunch. No "Meh." We've been to Salumi many times. We've always had a great experience and great food. We've gone with family. I've gone on my good days when I was on chemo battling cancer. We've gone just for their Cappuccinos. We've eaten outside during the Pandemic. We've eaten inside in the restaurant and we've eaten in their neighboring marketplace. Let's get the business out of the way. Ample and easy parking. Nice looking and clean "Either Or" bathrooms. A really nice bar with great wine selections. Comfortable and sturdy seating. Big Guy Comfort Score of 8. There are tables and booths and a few tables on the sidewalk (those chairs are a bit tight). The service is always friendly, genuine, efficient and professional. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. Sort of a comfortable farmhouse bistro. Maybe? It's nice whatever it is. Let's get to the food. Salumi has a very interesting menu. They have a brunch section, meat and cheese boards, sandwiches and salads and a tapas selection. We've had the boards many times. Always delicious with a nice glass of wine. We've ordered the boards for entertaining at home or have brought it to a NYE party at my brother's. I love their empanadas - hard to find better. Probably the best Cappuccino in the area. I've had probably 20 Cappuccinos and never had a bad or bitter one. Exceptional! Today we shared the Burrata and Prosciutto Salad - amazing - and my wife had the Monte Cristo and I had the Croque Monsieur. Both sandwiches were very good. The fig jam served with the Monte Cristo is addicting. I could have eaten the entire bowl of the Salad - delicious Burrata and spectacularly salty Prosciutto with olives, Sundried tomatoes and expertly dressed arugula. And I started with a wonderfully delicious decaf Cappuccino. Yum! We had a nice conversation with the owner about Non Alcoholic Beer and other NA bevs., the status of the wine industry and the restaurant business in general. Super nice knowledgeable guy. He showed me the Spanish NAB they are currently serving. Next time. That's it. That's a well-deserved Five Star Review.

Came for brunch. It looks really good. I wanted to like it so bad. Its very cozy and the plates come out looking aesthetic. But the food was not good. The coffee was very light. The prosciutto toast was okay. It was nothing special. It had way too much cheese. The scrambled eggs (scramblette) was the worst thing we had. I dont know how they could mess up scrambled eggs. They werent even scrambled, they were folded and over cooked. Not fluffy and light. The bread was really good. The monte crisco sandwich was disappointing. Over all everything was disappointing.

I want to share my New Year's Eve experience at Salumi. I had a reservation for five people at 9:45 PM on December 31st. On the morning of NYE, someone from the restaurant called to inform me that my reservation was close to the kitchen's closing time at 10:00 PM. They gave us two options: Order immediately from the menu before the kitchen closed. Opt for the Midnight Party package, priced at $55 per person, which included appetizers and an open bar starting after 10 PM. I appreciated the call, but the experience at the restaurant didn't meet my expectations. While at the table, I noticed hot food being served to other tables until 10:45 PM, despite being told the kitchen would close by 10 PM. This made me question the urgency of their initial call. When it came to the Midnight Party, the appetizers were set up later than promised. There were only three options: cold shrimp with sauce, cold pasta salad, and potato salad. For $55 per person, this felt underwhelming and far from what I anticipated. The lack of transparency regarding the appetizers being served for the Midnight Party was disappointing. While it is a fixed price, guests should know exactly what they're paying for. I felt the experience was deceptive, and I left feeling disappointed and quite hungry since the appetizers were not what was expected.

I've been to Salumi twice over the past few years and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a tapas dining/bar environment. I recommend to sit at the bar if possible and have either wine or cocktails along with multiple small shareable plates of food. This time we had the garlic shrimp, the pan con jamon and the shishito peppers. Cocktails were nicely done. Give it a try.

I cannot believe that such a gem exists in suburbia. I forgot that I was on Long Island as soon as I sat in the buttery light and rustic atmosphere of Salumi. Then came the tapas... Their Italian board is a flavor explosion of meats, cheeses, and accompaniments to satisfy all of your taste buds. Big bonus stars for the sour cherries and large capers that bring out the earthiness of the sheep's milk cheese infused with truffles. Their prosciutto chips are an elevated version of a chicarrón that will inspire everyone at the table to keep drinking...as tapas should absolutely do. Special thanks to the owner/host and our server for seating my group at an amazing table even without a reservation, and taking such good care of every aspect of our experience. If I lived on the island, I would be a regular.

Never a disappointment. Nice place to go for a delicious Spanish cheese board and top with a nice bottle of wine. The staff are friendly and very accommodating.

I have been here many times. They have delicious and eclectic food in small portions (and some large plates too). This time we got the street corn, polenta, Cobb salad, bread basket and some wine. Everything was good but the salad which was described as well dressed was drenched with dressing a bit too much. Definitely ask for that dressing on the side. Everything else was perfection. Service was attentive and the ambiance is nice if not a little bit loud. It can be a romantic spot with special food. Definitely on the pricier side but worth it.

My friend recommended this place, but to be honest I'm disappointed. We came for breakfast and I ordered French toast. Guys, if you don't know how to cook this dish, please don't do it. I paid $15 for salty, greasy bread with a rotten banana.

Always a treat at Salumi. Service is always good, met Josh last night and he's full of knowledge about wine and music. I like the dark wood vines. The cheese boards are perfect. YUMMMy. Very accommodating if you have allergies as well.

Salumi never disappoints. If you are in the mood to hang out with friends, drink wine and pick on excellent small plates and boards, this is the spot! I have never ordered anything from Salumi that I didn't love. On this visit we chose a board , The Marrow and Prosciutto chips.. bc yum!!! The staff is super friendly and very helpful ( you're gonna need help to navigate all the deliciousness). Go to Salumi run don't walk .. it's delicious!

Ordered a charcuterie board to go in order to surprise the wife, and she was blown away! Great verity and high quality ingredients made for a great overall experience.

Honestly, the highest quality food in the area. We love this spot because it feels like we are in a quaint European cafe- the food is top notch, the service is excellent and the drinks are strong. Anyone who thinks Salumi is less than 5-stars probably likes Olive Garden

Amazing service, mad skills, beautiful selection, made for the best, happy birthday to my wifey

Ordered this at work the other day because Lord knows we needed some cheese (no wine allowed unfortunately lol) two boards were perfect to serve 5 of us ladies The cheeses were flavorful, the boards were presented in a very tasteful manner, despite being charcuterie boards to go! My favorite cheese was the pecorino molidino, paired with the olives (stemmed and seedless particularly) with the fig spread I stayed away from the bread but it looked perfextly oiled to say the least! Can't wait to order again next week!

The food and drinks were good. We had a great server. I can't remember his name. He was very attentive and friendly. He gave great recommendations when we asked questions about the menu and drinks. I loved the ambiance. Great vibes. My bff and I enjoyed ourselves and talked for hours. It was nice and intimate. Great place for dates.

Never disappointed whenever I've come here. Food and service are always on point. Also, they introduced this brilliant idea of pouring sherry into a marrow bone and drinking the rich marrow soaked shot out of the bone itself.

Super cute date night spot. Quiet and calm so it felt very intimate. We had a dessert wine and a few plates (which were so good we couldn't wait and missed a picture!). The boards are amazing and fresh. Our server was attentive while giving us space and time to enjoy our meal and drinks.

LOVE Salumi, the vibe, the drinks, their service... everything! I know I've written a review in the past so will add my updates here: Been here for brunch a few months ago - super delicious (especially the madame croque) and the latte! For dinner recently, we ordered - pan con jamon -- it comes with tomate underneath and it is WOW - Jamon platter -- plate of jamon serrano, was yummy but not filling - Empanada --- cordon bleu? but delicious. their empanadas are so perfect each and every time! would order 2 cause they're so satisfying. - Mushrooms in truffle sauce -- I like their mushrooms a la plancha more since they're more meaty and simple, but my friend LOVED this. I wasn't crazy about it - Brussels sprouts (with a black pepper honey omg) --- so good I finished the whole thing! I love sweet and salty!! - Bone marrow -- so good, good portion too!

Great ambiance & great charcuterie boards too! We got the Italian one. My favorite was truffle cheese of course :) definitely will be back for a more in depth review! Service was friendly and drinks were delicious.

Most incredible tapas!!! Great sangria! Good service. Fair prices. Can't wait to come back.

Delicious Tapas and sangria love the place complements to the chef !! delicious food the belly pork outstanding , only the service from waitress not attentive

It was cute. It's a relatively small space but it's cozy. The menu is good. The food was delicious.

Wow. What a find on the south shore! Reasonably priced wine. Excellent tapas. Our favorite was mushrooms but broccolini, kale, etc were great. Wonderful atmosphere.

This is one of my favorite hidden gems to go to with friends. It's all tapas and charcuterie along with some big dishes too. It's a great spot to get a bottle of wine or two and have a time. The ambience is casual and romantic and there's even outside seating. The best part is their hours they are open pretty late which he awesome. They have their own parking lot and it's located right on Merrick Road in Massapequa so you're nice as close to everything. The parking is perfect they have their own lot so you're covered on all angles coming here. Have your self a blast and go to Salumi!

Oh my, am I in love with this restaurant. The board: it was prefect in every way. Pro tip: if you're making your own board, you have to get a combination of six cheeses/meats in order to get all of the accompaniments such as almonds, capers, olives, and quince paste. Splurge and go nuts! It's worth it. Dessert: the dessert was fabulous. We got two chocolate dips which means two large pieces of thick bread, dipped in olive oil, and sprinkled with sea salt, accompanied by a bowl of chocolate. Taking a bite of the bread first and then dipping the remaining bread into the chocolate was like having two different bites in one dessert. My friend said it was the best thing she's ever had. It's simple yet so very good. Service: our waitress knew the boards inside and out. She was very helpful with recommendations and was patient with us figuring out our perfect combination. Vibe: This feels like the place to be. My friend said at one point that it felt like we were in Manhattan and that there would be taxis waiting outside for us. You get lost for the time you're here. Although it's a little loud; this is a great spot for a date.

They offer a good wine selection and small plate dishes. Quiet ambiance and low key crowd

I just came in for a quick drink and before I could ask for a water, a full, cold bottle was placed before me. the bartender seems very knowledgeable and I asked for a quick cocktail that was refreshing and not too sweet. to my surprise, Xander shook and poured a beautiful purple concoction into a rocks glass. I don't even want to know the name of this delicious beverage. it tastes amazing and I will return for more amazing surprises. I highly recommend this location and the wait staff is courteous and friendly. cheers to these beverage making magicians.

Great cozy charcuterie and bar in strip shopping center Merrick Road. Very cool to snuggle up to the bar and have them make your board and fix your drink right in front of you. Bartender was very versed in the charcuterie offering and details of the available meats and cheeses. I'll go back...

Salumi is an Amazing spot for a first date or a night out with friends. Fabulous ambiance & perfect for conversation. Never too loud or too quiet. The dishes are always light plus incredibly tasty & fun!

The tapas are so delicious and the wine perfect for a date night! Service may take a little longer, it's made to Oder and it's so fresh . Love sitting on the couch, and enjoying the divine food. Yum

The food at Salumi is incredible! I know many come for the meat and cheese boards (which are outstanding) but the chefs plates and tapas are fantastic! The menu changes often, which I love, it's never boring. The dishes are creative, I am always excited to see what new dishes they will come up with. The creativity doesn't end with the food, the cocktails are just as fun and delicious!! I'm a gin drinker, so I recently had the "Orchid", it was fruity, fresh, and strong! At our recent trip we had the dry aged steak board (one of the large plates). It had an 18 oz bone-in strip steak that was cooked to perfection. I don't know what they seasoned the steak with, but it was salty, peppery, buttery heaven!! The board had perfectly cooked shishito peppers, a pile of the patatas bravas, roasted marrow bone and a perfectly dressed salad. We finished everything off with the chocolate dip which is my favorite dessert!! I'm not exaggerating when I say I would be devastated if it was ever removed from the menu. The chocolate dip is a perfect combination of dark chocolate and Nutella. They sprinkle some flaky salt on top. The best part is their homemade crusty bread, which has a light drizzle of olive oil and more of the flaky salt, that they give you to use as a vehicle to deliver this heavenly chocolate into your mouth. I'm telling you, it's perfection!! The service is great, we have never once had a bad server. If you have not tried this restaurant I'm not sure what you've been waiting for. It has been a favorite for years and we will keep going back for more!

Son had a craving so he invited his mom, me, out to squelch this craving. Soooooo apparently I was on to something about the crack in this place because the polenta crack is still on the menu from over 7 years ago. You can even order it by the bowl now! But as good as the Polenta crack was, 2 other dishes melted my tastebuds into heavenly bliss. Starting with 2 words......Lamb Neck! What da what?! Yup! A smoky tender melt in your mouth fall off the bone piece of protein everyone should try. It had layers of flavor. Sweetness from the tomato molasses, tang from the drizzle of yogurt and the rich sauce being sopped up by the brown butter croutons!!!! Yeah you want it. Then out of nowhere this Chef fairy brings out a bowl. Son says did you order this? No, not I. Then he says so you know the chef here too?! No, no I don't. But thank you kind Chef fairy bearing gifts! He informs us it's a pound cake topped with strawberries & blackberries. OMG!!! This ain't yo mama's or grandmas pound cake! This was warm, spicy, just sweet enough and the fruit topping it.....was PERFECT!! I will now be craving this for a long time. The new Salumi crack is the pound cake dessert. DO NOT LEAVE HERE WITHOUT GETTING THE POUND CAKE DAYUM IT! Thanks to host Joe & Chef Fairy Mike we had a great impromptu Mommy Son lunch. 12-30-2019

I have been here before and have had their tapas. Last night was for drinks and a shared cheese board. The atmosphere and vibe is lovely.. very rustic and comfortable. At 4:30pm on a Saturday, many tables and bar stools were already filled with people enjoying wine and cheese. I love that there is a place for this very thing. The waitress was very friendly and helpful in helping us select a cheese plate. The best one was the pecorino moliterno al tartufo. It was paired with a fruit and we also got a fig jam and green olives. So good! The bread was crispy on the outside with a soft crunchy center, drizzled with olive oil. The Chianti Classico was amazing. It went down smooth and was so easy to drink. So much flavor and body. It went perfectly with the cheeses.

Seems like they need to go back to their beginnings to reestablish what they originally created. charcuterie board shrunk in half. Staff may have had an off night but was unattractive. Food is still delicious. Choices of liquor (not wine) are subjectively questionable quality and believe they should introduce standard higher end liquors that are better quality.

Came for the Spanish cheese board. It was really good. Huge board definitely able to split with 3 people. Only downside to the board is the lack of bread. You get maybe 4 slices of bread and for me that's not enough. So order the $4 rustic bread basket if you need more. The olive oil on the bread is soo good. This place is really authentic and they do a great job with the boards. I loved the three cheese selections. My favorite was the Cana de cabra and second tetilla. I do wish they had a better selection of softer buttery cheeses for the board. For the meats it came with lomo (so tender so good, melts in your mouth), chorizo, and Serrano ham (good but I always have a problem chewing it lol guess my teeth aren't made for this ham). The board also had a variety of dried fruits and a nuts to compliment the cheeses. Also, ordered the garlic shrimp. Wow so amazing. This is the first time in the states that I've had this tapa come out so authentic. It was almost a replica of what I had in Barcelona and I was very impressed. Order some more bread to sop up the juices from the shrimp and garlic!! Great experience here! For cocktails, I think their selection is pretty slim compared to other places. But if you like beer I saw a lot of options and a few ciders.

Without hesitation, this is the spot I recommend to anyone who is looking for a new spot to try. The curated wines, meats and cheeses are incredible not to mention the tapas that change seasonally. My absolute favorite spot on Long Island when I am looking for a cozy night out. I will say that I did have a less than enjoyable experience recently when I went for lunch as one of the workers could be heard talking about myself after I asked for a substitution on a sandwich (they couldn't do it and it was totally fine with me). But will still always give Salumi 5 stars!!

Always the best experience! Service is always consistent and the food is delicious and creative!

Amazing place! I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time so when friends asked us to dinner and recommended this place I was excited! Parking on a Saturday night at 7pm was tough we had to park outside of the lot and walk a bit but no big deal. I had a few delirium which was on tap and a glass of white wine but were great. Now why we came here the food!! Spanish Board- Plenty of meats and cheeses for four. I wish it came with a few more slices of bread though. Grilled Octopus- yum!!!! It came with chickpeas which were tasty and crispy. Charred cauliflower- Another hit! Shrimp in garlic sauce- deliciousness! Luckily for us they gave us an order of bread incorrectly and then comped it. The bread was great to dip into it! Brussel sprouts- yummy!! All dish were great! Zero complaints! Except perhaps I wished they came with a bit more lol. Now dessert - we shared the chocolate dip and pannacotta. Amazing especially the chocolate dip! Overall amazing food! I read from some reviews about prices. We ate plenty and had quite a few drinks I can't tell you how much as our friends treated us as we were celebrating. I can't say if it was pricey as I barely looked at the menu and prices. Our friends love this place and ordered everything we ate. Service-I appreciated they didn't try and kick us out we sat there for close to 4 hrs never interrupted or rushed out. Only slight negative was waiting on drinks. Throughout the night each drink took a while. We were waiting to cheers as my drink (beer) took about 25 mins to come out. Our friend reminded our waiter twice about it. I won't take a star away from this place though. I look forward to coming back.

Came to salumi again and had a delicious meal! Tapas is only available for dinner and not brunch!

I absolutely love Salumi. Delicious wines and the charcuterie boards are beautifully arranged and so delicious!

Always a good Time and very good meal! Went for Christmas Eve and had a nice time. It's so warm and cozy. Met very nice people sitting next to her. Bartenders are always so friendly.

This has been a place my friends have been raving about. Although the thought of wine and tapas is a great idea but I was sure for a dinner. We had a decent sized group so we ordered 2 of each board. They had a big selection of wine. We all ordered something different for the drink list but we did not order any entrees. Which they did not really have. The waitstaff was great. Friendly and attentive. But a big turn off of mine is when the plates are sticky and the utensils aren't cleaned very well. Also the parking lot was full so we parked on the side street. Which is a plus or a downside depending how you look at it. Between $28 to $34 for a board of meats, cheeses and grapes. I feel like i could make it at home but with the things I enjoy more. Also the restroom doors says Either Or. instead of Male or Female. So that's cool. The place was full and has lots of good reviews. I would probably go back for a date but not for a dinner.

What a disappointment. To start the waitress was horrible, spent half her time outside, we had to go outside to get her just to get the check. Drinks all came out separate and too way to long. Was looking forward to the bone marrow...well there was so much paste like "onion jelly" on it to hide the lack of marrow. Then the real big issue the lamb, my absolute favorite, well it arrived to the table PINK totally rare, we asked if they could cook it medium and was told NO the chef will only do Med-rare no modifications. I was like what? I can't have it to the temp I like? We were immediately told NO. The pork belly sandwiches were almost all fat and everything else was lack luster. Save your time and money and do NOT dine here

After being in the mood for tapas, we asked around and were told Salumi is the place to go. We went on a Sunday evening and it was crowded! That right there says something when it's Sunday and it's packed inside. We got a seat at the bar, which ended up being great. We people-watched, chatted with the bartender, all was well. The menu is via a QR code like most places nowadays. They have Delirium and Sweet Baby Jesus on tap which sold us right away. They also offer wine flights, bottles of wine, champagne, and cocktails. The bartender here is definitely kept busy. For food we had the anchovies which were served with olive oil and absolutely divine. We also had the stuffed calamari which was quite good. Our favorite was the scallops. They were topped with cashews and a chimichurri. We ordered a bread basket just to pick up all the leftover sauce. Even though they only do small plates and boards, this place will fill you up. Everything is expertly made, down to the cocktails, and delicious. The prices are fair for what you get. We cannot wait to come back here.

Hands down my favorite restaurant. Top notch small plates and meat & cheese boards.

Great tapas in Long Island finally! Great variety of typical and yummy Spaniard tapas! Definitely has great lighting and ambiance for a date night or a group of friends who want to share some apps and have a few drinks! Loved the cheese board, the patatas bravas and octopus was amazing! Drinks were great as well!
