Salvatore's Cucina & Lounge

I had my birthday here in the backroom and I had such an amazing time. They customized a menu for me, had a belly dancer, a photographer and did the whole sign with Happy Birthday with fireworks. The food, service, and drinks were SO amazing. Highly recommend this spot. Big thanks to Esteban, who helped me coordinate my birthday at Salvatore's! 10000% recommend.

Food and service was good. We were told happy hour is only available if you sit at the bar or outside which was not clear prior to us going. With kids we could not do that so we did not get happy hour prices.

Had an early dinner at Salvatore’s on NYE. The food was so good! Elegantly served, drool worthy aromas, taste buds blown away, and appetites were filled. No complaints on the meals. With the evening complimented with some burlesque dancing, the family was greatly entertained and enjoyed a NYE’s dinner to remember in San Diego.

Salvatore’s Cucina and Lounge exceeded all expectations! The appetizers were absolutely amazing—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. My dinner was delicious, even though I had filled up on appetizers alone. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, even on a packed Friday night. Despite the bustling atmosphere, everything ran smoothly, and I never felt rushed. This place is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

My friend and I actually ate here a couple years ago, and remembered we had a great meal, and figured we’d come by again. Safe to say, the food is still as good as we remembered! I got the spicy vodka rigatoni, and it was just the right amount of cheesy, saucy, and spicy. My friend got the pepperoni pizza, and the cheese was so gooey she got some amazing cheese pulls. It was a well needed meal after a whole day of walking! As for the drinks, they were great too. I got the purple refresher which was nice and sweet, and my friend got the passionfruit cooler, which was equally bright and refreshing. The space itself is nice and modern, they have a dining area in the front for people who want to just eat, and then in the back they have a darker bar area for those who want to just drink. If you’re in downtown San Diego, give this place a try!

Wonderful place! The food was super good! The service was wonderful too. Definitely coming back when I’m in the area.

FIRSTLY… DON’T Come Here With a Group, They Charge Gratuity and Treat You Like Shxt Because They Know Their Tip Is Secured! Now Let Me State How My Daughters 21st Birthday Went… She Chose This Place Because She Heard It Was a Vibe. And Although The Place Is Nice… The Service Sucks. And The Food Is Mediocre! First Issue… The Water Taste Horrible! So We Asked For Lemons 3 Different Times. The Server Never Responded, So We Asked The Manager To Assist. Next… It Took Him So Long To Come Back After The Waters… We Were ALL Ready To Eat. He Comes Back, We Tell Him We Are Ready To Order, He Tells Us “NO, Drinks First!” Lol I Was Kinda In Shock! But As It Was My Daughters 21st BDay, I Didnt Want To Make An Issue. My Brother In Law, Asks For The Drink Menu, The Server Says “Oh I Be Back” and Just Walks Off! Instead Of Moving To The Next Person! (Mind You… Its NOT Busy AT ALL!!!) But Anyways… After Another 24 Minutes Of Waiting… He Comes Back and Starts Taking Drink Orders! He Gets Around To My Daughter (Who’s BIRTHDAY It Is!)… And She Asks For A Drink They Offered, But She Wanted To Substitute The Tequila for Another Brand. (Not To Complicated) the Server Responds That He Doesn’t Know About That, and How About You Get The Drink and a Shot On The Side. I Tell Her Its Her Birthday and She Can Get Whatever She Wants. My Sister Speaks Up and Ask The Waiter If He’s Charging Her For 2 Separate Drinks for the drink she asked for? He Says yes and reads her order back as “the drink she ordered + a double shot of patron silver! Lol HE ADDED A SHOT! I say she didn’t ask for a double… and so your telling me… on Her Birthday… Your Charging Her $17 for Her Drink + A Double Shot Which Each Shot Is $15… So In Total… On Her Birthday You Charge a Girl $47 for Her Drink??? LMMFAO I Could Go On About How The Food Sucks and Your Better Off Going To Ruths Chris! Or Eddie V’s! This Place Looks Nice… But Everything Else Is a 1 Star Experience!!!

We recently celebrated a birthday at Salvatore’s, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. The attention to detail was impeccable – from the beautifully decorated table to the personalized touches that made the evening feel so unique. The food was absolutely divine! The chefs even accommodated some special requests, making sure that everyone at our party was more than satisfied. The variety on the menu was fantastic, with something for everyone, and the presentation of each course was nothing short of spectacular. The service was warm and attentive, without being overbearing. They anticipated our needs, kept the drinks flowing, and made sure everything ran smoothly so that we could focus on celebrating and enjoying the night. Thank you, Steve! What truly set this experience apart was the way the restaurant went out of their way to make the birthday celebration extra special. From a surprise dessert to a heartfelt birthday toast, they truly made the evening feel magical. If you’re looking for a place that combines outstanding food, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Salvatore’s is the perfect spot. They made our birthday celebration one of the best we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended.

Great vibe. I had a good time there. The food was very good. The drinks were great and the service was very friendly and attentive. They had an excellent menu too. A reason to venture just outside of little Italy for some italian food.

Food was absolutely delicious, and service was amazing. We came early for brunch on Saturday morning, and I would say that the ambiance was lacking a little bit. We had a reservation and were the first ones there, so it was a little quiet in the restaurant. I wish more people can discover what a gem this place. Also, you can have special messages put on an espresso martini. We had special message for our bride. It was funny and cute! Not posting a picture for her privacy.

Went here for Valentine's Day and had the prix fixe menu. Service was great, our server was very nice. Ambience is fun - there was even a Greco-Roman fire lady walking around twirling fire! Food was standard, though our filet mignon was over cooked (a medium was very well done, a medium rare became a medium well). My cocktail was delicious and fun, complete with smoke. BEWARE THE HIDDEN FEES: 20% autogratuity for a party of 2 (usually places will tell you there's an autograt so anything else is extra - not a peep from anyone that this was on there and there was a tip line so you would not notice unless you inspected your bill) AND a random 3% "service charge" - curious if you get this charge if you order food to go, or only if you dine in because you were served.

We had a 1:00 reservation for Mother's Day and were seated right away, which was great. However, we were surprised to find out it was a brunch menu only -- nothing on the website mentioned that, and we were hoping for the lunch or dinner options. Service was slow. Our waiter took a while to even greet us, and I had to find him at the bar to take our order. It wasn't super busy, so that was a bit frustrating. We ended up ordering everything at once. I had a Bloody Mary (it was fine), and my husband had a michelada. He got the burger without the toppings, and I had the strawberry salad and avocado toast. The salad was pretty good, but the avocado toast was just okay -- I've had better at casual coffee shops. His burger was just fine, nothing special. Overall, I'd give it 3 out of 5.

This restaurant was amazing! We had reservations for 8pm, but they graciously let us dine at 8:15pm because we were running late for a birthday dinner. I forgot the name of our waiter but he was so kind and funny! The drinks and food were delicious. You have to try the fried olives, they were 10/10! I cannot say enough good things about the vibe of this restaurant. The lighting was moody, the neon lights were awesome, and the painting wall was perfect for photos! We will be back!

My friends and I came here during the R&B Love event and we had so much fun singing our hearts out. The whole restaurant is a vibe and definitely IG worthy.. service was good as was the food. We did have to send one of our steak dishes back because it was overcooked, other than that everything was fine.

Fun Fact: selfie wall right in front! - Beautiful lounge, with a great space and lighting. Great for lunch, date nights, or with the girlfriends at night. Service was spectacular here and the vibes are amazing, especially at night Service is also very good. I expected food to be great, and was somewhat disappointed by the quality and authenticity. Ordered the pesto linguine and while the portions and presentation was on point; but the flavors and sauce consistency was lacking. The sauce was slightly too sweet and very very oily, made for a soupy type of sauce vs one that enveloped the linguine. The Spicy Vodka rigatoni was okay, but was disappointed by the focaccia bread add on, which tasted like sourdough vs. focaccia, there was absolutely no herbs in here and the texture tasted more like a sourdough.

Came here for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! The decor and vibe were both really interesting, with Greco decor (I think), moody ambiance and lit music lol. But the food! We ordered the broccolini, lobster ravioli, spicy vodka rigatoni + chicken and focaccia bread. Everything was honestly so good. Our server, Emily, recommended we dip the focaccia bread in the lobster ravioli sauce and that was DELICIOUS. Both pastas were fantastic and I actually would highly recommend this place for the pastas. In addition, everyone was so nice, especially our server, Emily. She gave great recommendations, took lovely photos of us and was so attentive. She also brought a complimentary gelato with a huge sparkler. It was fun :) We enjoyed our time and will be back!

Service was pretty awful here. The server, I can't remember his name I think it was Fernando, Francisco, or Vincent even, was so rude and condescending and when I asked to add sausage to my pasta he said, "no I'm only doing chicken" in a scolding tone. It was really off putting. 5 minutes later he came back to ask if we wanted to add anything else because the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes and we "came too late" even though we had a reservation at 7:30-8pm and there was 8 more time slots after ours, all the way up to 11pm. At that point we noticed he was more into chatting with the bartender and texting on his phone. People were standing next to him trying to get his attention and he wouldn't get off the phone texting and smiling down at the phone. When our food was ready he brought it over without saying a single word. He walked away and we were trying to ask for Parmesan cheese but it seemed like he was ignoring us on purpose because he walked over to the bartender as I was saying "excuse me" and he started chatting with him. The bartender kept looking at us as we were waving him down and kept telling the server until he laughed and pointed at us. The server turned around with a straight face and with a smirk said "yeah?" After bringing over the cheese he never came back to check on us not even for the bill. Pasta was tasty maybe lacked a little flavor in the sauce and chicken was dry, drinks were good, we were 1 out of 3 parties in there maybe we should have taken that as a sign. The inside is pretty cute for pictures. Definitely tried to make the best of it since I drove from Orange County for a day in SD but the service made it so hard to fully enjoy the night unfortunately.

My friend and I actually ate here a couple years ago, and remembered we had a great meal, and figured we'd come by again. Safe to say, the food is still as good as we remembered!

If you're in downtown San Diego, give this place a try!

I absolutely love the decor of this restaurant. It is fancy, classy, and modern. I have been to several birthday dinners as well as my own over the course of a couple years. They have an option to bring out wine bottles and your name displayed on a card with fire sticks! The food is all well priced and delicious. I would highly recommend for a girls night out, dinner, or special occasion !

Amazing food. Lots of flavors. They do even the simple stuff amazingly. Worth every penny. Wish they had IPAs though

Was walking around finding something to eat late at night and stumbled upon this place! Food was delicious and service was good. We got their seafood pasta and the half chicken. Chicken was so moist and had a great sauce. The pasta was also very fresh! They had a fire dancer walking around the restaurant every 30-45 mins which was something we didn't expect. Vibes were chill and lively! There was a 3% service fee applied to our bill.

This place is a must ! Great service, amazing food, absolutely delicious drinks !! Our waiter, Mark, was super sweet and took great care of us ! The place is aesthetically pleasing but I personally feel like it was designed to be dramatic. The theme is a Greek/Roman style but moderately new age version. My only complaint is the pricing compared to the proportions of the food is slightly a gap. We ordered the Salmon Crudo @ $18. While very delicious there was very little on the plate. The portion of salmon was not bad but, I would suggest adding a bit more microgreens. Definitely was not sure of the sauce that was on the side of this dish, while very overall it took away from the overall flavor of the salmon. Next, we ordered the Ravioli. Extremely delicious!! But for 6 ravioli's @ $36 dollars it's a bit overpriced. Maybe in the 20 dollar range would be better. The drinks were extremely good for the price this was expected give this upscale ingredients used. Kudos!! to the bartender I understand this place is more of an upscale bar with bites type of ordeal than actually getting drinks and huge portions of greasy bar food. It doesn't take away from my experience. The service was immaculate. No complaints at all I think the service was the highlight of my experience. Definitely have to try this place again and catch the fire dancers.

The place is aesthetically pleasing but I personally feel like it was designed to be overly dramatic. The theme is decent, its a Greek/Roman style but moderately new age version. The music chosen by the DJ was immaculate but the music is extremely loud as if you're going to a night club. Although it was hard hearing my party/people sitting next to me, I still had a great time. The pricing compared to the proportions of the food is slightly a gap. The drinks are good, and the food was okay. I understand its more of a brunch/mimosa and champagne type of ordeal than actually getting drinks and food. It doesn't take away from my experience but I will let you know its about $20 per item. The service was immaculate. No complaints, the waiter with a strong accent definitely navigated us all around the menu & chose some decent food. I think the service was the highlight of my experience. Definitely have to try this place again.

Coming off an amazing chicken parm in Palm Springs, this one had a lot of to live up to. While it was good, it wasn't as good as the dish I experienced in the desert. It could have used a bit more sauce to really round out the dish but all in all, it was good enough. I liked that the pasta was rigatoni instead of the usual long spaghetti that can be difficult to elegantly twirl. My friend chose this spot for it's Instagrammable ambiance and it didn't let us down.

My friends and I came here for happy hour on a Tuesday. It's from 5:00-7:00pm. Parking in limited in this area, we ended up ubering and walking to the convention center for a concert. The staff were very friendly and the decor is beautiful and definitely instagrammable. We sat at the bar for happy hour and service was super quick. The food and drinks were pretty good! Worth a try if you're in the area. Food review: Whiskey mule: (5/5) Bartender made this drink perfectly. It was delicious. The perfect balance. Margarita: (5/5) Classic, but super tasty! Fried gnocchi: (4/5) These were delicious and came with aioli. These tasted similar to French fries/tater tots in my opinion, but still tasty! Brussel sprouts: (5/5) These were super tasty. We loved that it came with a hint of pomegranate. It was a nice balance and they were cooked well. Margarita pizza: (3/5) Wasn't super impressive, but overall had good flavor. Some of the crust was a little burnt. Yellowtail crudo: (3/5) This dish didn't taste as fresh as I hoped. The ponzu sauce didn't mesh well with the fish. This wasn't our favorite dish and probably wouldn't order again from here.

I have to say I was impressed and I rarely get impressed :) This was a girl night for a Birthday party I will talk about the vibe. Cool and calm and honestly perfect for a girl night out Service: although there was only waiter and she was busy and hard to find but she was very nice and friendly Food: Very good ans we tried alot of dishes Only one that no body liked was the fried olive although this seems to be popular dish Birthday: they have this cute package with different type of cake, a birthday sign and some fire lighting cool and cute Decor is so authentic and cool We had a ton of fun Also it looks like they have a small room for party and they had a party going on

The service was excellent. Shout out to Maya for making our experience so enjoyable. She really went out her way to make us comfortable. I wish i remembered the name of our waitress but she was also amazing. She even was kind enough to take some photos of us with no hesitation. Thanks for the great service and staff. Beautiful decor as well. Ambiance was nice.

I had my birthday here in the backroom and I had such an amazing time. They customized a menu for me, had a belly dancer, a photographer and did the whole sign with Happy Birthday with fireworks. The food, service, and drinks were SO amazing. Highly recommend this spot. Big thanks to Esteban, who helped me coordinate my birthday at Salvatore's! 10000% recommend.

We absolutely love Salvatore's! The food is incredible, very tasty and a great selection. Their happy hour is the best in town. The people are also wonderful. Good music and atmosphere. Their brunch is also delicious. I had the chilaquiles and they were some of the best I've had. Highly recommend!!

Incredible food and service!! Wow the place is amazing and it was so good. Highly recommend, the place is gorgeous and there was no minimum for big parties.

I came across Salvatore's on Tiktok and my group was in the mood for Italian food, so we ended up choosing Salvatore's. We made a reservation ahead of time, so the wait wasn't bad at all. I ended up getting the Rigatoni Bolognese and was unfortunately underwhelmed. It was good, however, I felt that the sauce was too much on the sour side, and found there were more diced tomatoes than meat. I was also bummed there was no complimentary bread as that is one of my favorite things about a lot of Italian restaurants. I will say the restaurant is very aesthetic, especially with a photo area right before you enter, but in terms of food, I would try other Italian spots in San Diego.

My experience at Salvatore's was definitely not what I expected. First off, with the restaurant being located in Downtown, you already know that the parking situation isn't great. Luckily, my friends and I managed to grab street parking after a couple of tries. It took a few minutes to walk to the restaurant and then we quickly got seated for my best friend's birthday dinner reservation. The atmosphere is so lively, full of classy art, statues, and luxurious decor. The lighting is incredibly dark in there however, with neon lights illuminating the entire restaurant. It was oftentimes hard to even see in front of us, let alone attempting to flip through the menu. I ended up ordering the Linguine Al Pesto, while my friends ordered the Sausage & Cranberry Pizza + the Braised Short Ribs. While we were waiting for the food, we were shocked to see a "fire eater/dancer" pop out and perform a live show for us! Definitely a cool + exotic experience that we did not expect at all. Soon enough, the entrees came out and we all dug in. One thing I cannot deny about this restaurant -- Salvatore's has excellent food! Everyone at the dinner left feeling satisfied and full! My linguine al pesto was delicious, seasoned perfectly and was so flavorful. The pizza and braised short ribs were just as good, and the portions were quite big and filling -- you could definitely share an entree between 2 people if you don't have a huge appetite. A lot of us ended up taking leftovers home! Overall, Salvatore's is a good restaurant but it honestly wasn't my favorite. I feel like their theme was a bit much/all over the place so I couldn't really tell what the restaurant was going for in terms of design and ambiance. Either way, I would still recommend giving this place a try if you're ever craving Italian and are in the area.

Came here with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day! Made a reservation for 8:30 and got there 5 minutes before to check in. We were asked if we would be interested in outdoor seating because it was a 30 minute wait for indoors and we said it was okay because we were starving. 10 minutes goes and we hadn't been seated yet. Then a couple that checked in for their reservation after us got seated indoors first? Then another hostess came up to ask us if we had a reservation again. Luckily we got seated indoors but maybe it was because of the holiday, but the hosting and seating system this day seemed a bit unorganized. Once we got seated it took quite a while for us to get waters and our drink orders taken. Our server was friendly but when he dropped off our drink orders, he forgot to take our food order like he said he would. We saw him checking other tables and taking new orders in the same area but wouldn't even look our way so we could get his attention. Took us about 30 minutes to get a food order in. We ordered the fried gnocchi, lamb chops, and pesto linguine. The fried gnocchi was the best thing out of all the food. It was cheesy and crispy and the malt vinegar aioli was so delicious it got us googling where we could purchase it. The pesto linguine was nothing special, but my boyfriend really enjoyed the lamb chops. Honestly would probably come back just for the gnocchi! For these food items and two drinks, it was ~$145 including tip. The inside of the restaurant gives me club/restaurant vibes. The music is pretty loud and they have neon decor with lights all around the restaurant. They also have a really cool Medusa lounge which I think is for private parties or bigger parties. Would definitely love to check that out if I ever need a space like that. We also got lucky enough to see the fire dancing which we thought we had missed. Honestly would've given this place 5 stars, but the slow service and seating knocked it down to 4 stars. Overall was a great experience and would like to come back some time later!

Ambiance was great. Beautiful decor. Felt very fancy. Service was very good and prompt We ordered appetizers, drinks and bread and we split an entree. Appetizers were the fried olives and octopus. The octopus was delicious. Might have been roasted or grilled but it was very tender and tasty. The Fried Olives though were not good to my taste. The combination of savory green olives with a sweet, honey cream just felt wrong. We didn't care for it at all. Ate about three of them and left the rest. Couldn't eat any more of those things. The entree was Ravioli and that was very good but the serving was very small. We each got 1 and 1/2 ravioli. Drinks were delicious. Had a Lavender Refresher and for desert had their Chocolate cake and Expresso Martini. Both were delicious. We may or may not go back but if we do, we will stay away from the Fried Olives.

literally the best Espresso Martini i've ever had. It's my go to everywhere I go, and this beat them all. Prosciutto Pizza, amazing. Service impeccable.

This place was such a great date night spot! Service was good, cocktails were incredible, food was delicious. We shared pizza, gnocchi, octopus, tomahawk, and pasta. Between all that food for the 4 of us and some cocktails, it got a bit pricey. But it's a nice restaurant downtown so that was expected. Every single dish was amazing, and to top it off there was a fire dancer performing! What a fun ambiance, I look forward to coming back.

Food, service, and ambiance were wonderful. Had a wonderful Waiter named Caesar, he gave us great recommendations!

We recently had our wedding reception here and it was GREAT! We planned about a month ahead and it was a easy process and Tommie helped a lot to make the process smooth! He opened earlier for us and we had the private room. It was such a beautiful and cool space that my guest could not stop complementing it to me. Our waiters were excellent and attentive! The food was amazing and my guest were all pleased with the quality of food! Our bartender was AMAZING! She was so attentive to not only the guest but my husband and I! She never let us have an empty drink for too long! Didn't even need to ask for another one, she just came by with one! Overall a great restaurant for any occasion if you're looking for an easy planning but for a beautiful spot!

This is my 2nd time here! The first time I went was a little later in the evening and the music was great, and it even had a belly dancer go around during dinner which was such a vibe! We ordered an expensive steak which was shareable! Decided to go the 2nd time to take my goddaughter out, early in the night.. although the music wasn't as it was when I first went, this place is pretty.. (later on as we were leaving, music was starting to get bumpin, we just got there too early hehe). Everything we ordered was bomb!! The drinks were good and our waiter was attentive given that my goddaughter had allergies. The percuitto pizza was delicious! Fried olives a Must! Watermelon salad was ok, but there's really nothing to it for the price. Vodka pasta was delicious and was so creamy! And the chicken Parmesan hit the spot! Will def go back but maybe at a later time for some good music and the clubbing vibe!! Highly recommend!

Can you let restaurant been here before about two years ago when it first open said that maybe they would step up under food quality specially in the location where they're at very apart from many other establishment happy hour was OK. $10 martinis was pretty good too bad they didn't have, blue cheese stuff olives but I will live. Service is very friendly impromptu food was just OK. Specially the fish since it was one of their feature items. It didn't really leave any memorable taste or experience. Pizza was whatever almost same quality as little Caesars.

What a fantastic 5 Star Upscale Italian restaurant. The restaurant is eye-catching from the doors to the rear bar and dining area. Be prepared for an amazing dining experience. The staff are great. The servers are well versed in menu and drink specials. I am definitely a fan of the seafood pasta. Seafood was fresh. The cheesecake dessert was a perfect finish. Generously portioned with fresh fruit and garnish. Will definitely visit here again.

From the moment I walked into Salvatores, I felt welcome. The dining room is clean and well-lit, with tasteful décor, enough to create a relaxed vibe. Our server checked in regularly, refilling water, answering questions, and making sure we weren't waiting on anything. Our server clearly knew the menu inside and out, suggesting a few off-menu twists that turned out to be highlights of the meal. His warm, genuine attitude made the evening feel effortless and personalized. The food lived up to the atmosphere. We had one of the specials, a 32 oz steak, It was cooked perfectly and served with roasted potatoes; it was truly a treat Salvatores hits all the right notes: a comfortable space, solid service, and dishes that are thoughtful without being fussy. I'll be back.

great place for bubbles and brunch, the chilaquiles were great! I pass by here at night and the place seems very lively and loud .. but the vibe is perfect for a date night. If you like the slower speed, make it out here for brunch and order a bloody mary!

I like the ambiance (tonight, there was a lot of R&B music). I've been told by the hostess that they offer "spoken word" and music in the back of the restaurant (blocked off/unseen). Each time I've gone, I've been a creature of habit when it comes to the appetizers-I love the fried olives soooooooo much! The sweet, crunchy salty tastes really work well together. Tonight, I ordered the Beef Bolognese-it was a bit salty and spicy, but I liked it. The Cesar salad wasn't good-I forgot that I didn't like it. The three pieces of Focacia bread ($5) were good. We also liked the pizza and Pesto linguini. However, the filet mignon and lobster for Father's Day was just mediocre... Sadly, they don't sell any Alfredo dishes. The menu is pretty small, but overall, it was a good experience.

Very disappointing experience. My family and I came for the R&B with Love event on 7/7 for my birthday and this is absolutely not towards the DJ because he was so fun but apart from a beautiful interior, that's all that was great for us about the restaurant. Our server was nice but he dropped coffee on the table resulting in splashing my boyfriend and staining his top. After helping us clean, not once did he apologize and literally disappeared for an extended amount of time before barely checking on us for the rest of the brunch. He seemed mortified but to not even apologize is horrible customer service. Not only this, but he over charged us for 3 pancakes on our first receipt rather than the accurate 2 and I only noticed JUST as he had our card in hand to charge. The food didn't make up for the service either. The pancakes were kid's sized pancakes and so dense. We also ordered both steaks medium well and both came well done and tough. Can't say I'd go back for another try.

rst time there husband took me last minute for Mother's Day dinner. No waiting with rsvp ambiance was super cute . Good service great food! Price is a bit on pricey however totally worth it. Us being foodie couple we don't mind for what is good.

Made reservations because I saw a post on IG of how amazing brunch was at Salvatore's. What I saw on IG was very misleading. When we arrived the place was empty... we even questioned ourselves if it was closed before we walked in. IG shows this restaurant being very lively and busy and with live music or a DJ. We walked in there was only one other couple there and no DJ. Yes there was music and this place does have potential. The girl that seated us didn't give us enough menus, took her a few to bring us enough. Waiter came by explained the menu to us. He was nice but the whole experience was kind of awkward. Like him suggesting a bottle of Rose for mimosas. The food all came out at different times (which is crazy because it was not busy) They also forgot one of our drinks until we reminded the waiter after we got our food. Food was not bad, it was actually good. Just the service and the misleading experience is what throws everything off. Not sure if we will return.

Came to eat here with my girlfriend and it was great service. our waiter come over quickly and told us what drinks were good. the food came out very quickly after ordering and it was hot and tasty. the place is nice inside and has nice colors.

My friend and I have unintentionally started a tradition where we come to Salvatore's for dinner when I come to visit every year for a conference. We've been grateful that every time Andrea has been our server. The decor inside is fun and eclectic- but your typical traditional Italian restaurant decor. The food and drinks are phenomenal! They have the greatest cocktails and their fried olives are amazing. I dream of it throughout the year and look forward to it every single visit. Andrea was sweet enough to remember us even though we only come once a year. The service, food, drinks, and ambiance are all amazing here. Highly recommend!

such a great experience and would 100% come back again ! our server carissa was so kind and such a girls girl!! she continuously catered to our requests and took all of our pictures! although it was a bit of a slower evening so she was able to make take more time on us, we still appreciate all her hard work! food was also great! my friends and i are a bit pickier when it comes to fine dining but we enjoyed every bit of it. nothing beats a cute aesthetic and delicious food! can't wait to come back in the future, thank you

Salvatore's was such a vibe. The food was surprisingly really good. I loved that our cocktails came with a lil show. There was a table having a birthday and they brought out sparklers and signs; some of the sparklers got on our table and the manager brought us free shots for the mishap. We weren't even complaining but that was such a nice touch. Will be back. Thanks for an amazing night.

Fantastic food, and service was excellent. The decor was beautiful. We sat in one of the booths with the little gazebo . The stack was perfectly cooked . The pizza appetizer was delicious. Everything was great . Even parking was easy . Good job Salvatore's

Started off the night not to the best start we had a reservation at 8:45 pm we get there host says they are a little behind that it will take 15 min , we were ok with that especially because we were a party of 9 so we understand, host pointed us to the bar since we were going to have to wait , we sit at the bar and the bar tender starts asking for ID not even a hello just ok let me see your ID we all show her and she's calculating our birthdays when we've all been 21 for a couple months now but at that point we are like ok it's fine the biggest problem is when she sees my friends gives it back to her and then says wait let me see it again my friend shows her and then she's like no show me the one you just showed me (implying that she showed her a fake) which by then my friend states she doesn't and she shows her the inside of her purse which is empty then bartender starts saying your the one with an attitude I can serve you our not. We by then are super uncomfortable and Un happy. She never apologized to my friend and acted like she was not in the wrong for being rude . Will never go again and I will not recommend to anyone .

My friends and I were in the mood for Italian and chose to check out Salvatore's. We had a reservation for Sunday night, but it wasn't that busy when we arrived. The menu wasn't too extensive. I decided on the penne all arrabiatta. While it was good, it was disappointing that it didn't come with any protein without an extra charge. My friends had the bolognese which they said was decent. We were all also disappointed that there wasn't any complimentary bread, which is pretty standard for Italian restaurants. The restaurant's decor is very nice, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

Love the vibe! I love celebrating bdays here! Staff are always so fun and friendly . ..and of course the food.... Superb!

This is a very instagram-able restaurant, as far as the decor goes. Great for girls night out or brunch with the girls if you want cute pics and your standards for food & experience are low. Service was good not great but I guess you can expect that from a college student on a Sunday morning. Food felt like a rip off. 1 Waffle with some strawberries sprinkled on top for $18? And it wasn't even an exceptional waffle, tasted like something out of an ego box. Bacon was dry AF. Bacon scramble was just scrambled eggs & Benedict was on the thinnest pieces of bread with no garnish or side? ZERO presentation. For an average of $20 a plate, either that's the new bare minimum for restaurants or this place is just thinking instagramable decor & a DJ makes a restaurant cool & trendy enough to smell their own farts At least pretend like you're trying lol Also, I was there on Easter and the DJ was blasting EDM (not even good EDM) which imo, just didn't fit the vibe. It actually made it feel like a tacky restaurant that was trying to be cool. Overall, If you're looking for the Walmart version of The Rustic Root, this is your spot.

Horrible food, service and tinny ambience. This is a very disappointing place. It is listed "for sale" now, but they are dishonestly pretending that it is going to reopen in November. Not true unless some poor sap buys it.
