Salvatores of Soho

The vibes here were amazing and the service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The menu has a huge variety. It is a little on the pricey side, but the quality and the portion sizes make it worth it. We started with the calamari and the mozzarella sticks and both were excellent. Even the complimentary bread with olive oil and vinegar was fresh and delicious. For the mains we had the chicken Alfredo and the penne with chicken and sautéed spinach. The plates were massive and the flavors were rich and tasty. A special thank you to Anita who took care of us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Overall this is a beautiful spot with great food, great atmosphere, and truly warm service. I would definitely come back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food here was absolutely delicious, and there was barely any wait at all. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. The customer service was truly fabulous — the staff made us feel very welcome, and the owners are super nice and genuinely friendly. You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of their food. On top of that, the prices are very affordable, especially considering how amazing everything tastes. I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Easily a 10/10 experience!

Great corner pizza joint. The Sicilian deep dish pizza is fantastic. Your group better be hungry if you order one of these

Sal’s a a real Gem in the community. Ordered the Lamb Shank w/green beans, mash w/side order of broccoli rabe. The lamb was so tender & delish. Love coming here & never disappointed!

Was in the area and stopped in for some lunch and let me say it did not disappoint. The waitress was so sweet and very attentive. And let’s talk about the food everything we ordered was delicious . Rate this gem 10/10 everything tastes so fresh. Highly recommended this restaurant

Ordered the spaghetti & meatballs lunch special with capellini pasta and extra sauce with a glass of ice water. The two meatballs were served sliced on both sides of a serving of al dente capellini. A generous portion of extra sauce was served in a separate bowl. Freshly shaved Parmesan cheese was presented in a stainless lidded container. The meatball slices were generous and soft and flavorful. The marinara sauce was thick and flavorful. It was a simple lunch but flavorful and filling. In the past I have enjoyed the exceptional chicken parmigiana, now one of the cheaper entrees on the main menu, and the tasty sausage and peppers. (These are offered with either pasta or salad.) I have never had their pizza which is one of their main items. Salvatore’s of SoHo is a destination Italian restaurant on Riverdale Avenue on the Bx7 bus route well worth the cost.

I had a good lunch at this place. I ordered grilled vegetables with spaghetti with mariner sauce and grilled chicken. It was good, and portions are honest. I was disappointed by the chocolate mousse though, which was not tasty.

I ordered salmon dinner which came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The food for the most part was very good, but for some reason it was dry. I was deeply surprised because I have ordered this dish in takeout from them on many different occasions and it was never dry like this before. I also got garlic bread and garlic pita came instead and I was pleasantly happy with this. When you eat in the restaurant this what they give you and I was extremely happy it was very fresh. For Dessert I have a chocolate mousse cup and it was really good, I think bindi makes this. I didn't care cause it was delicious. Overall, I will still order from there in the future just a tad disappointed with the dry salmon and dry potatoes.

BYOB! The large pizza is huge, good for sharing among 4 people. We really enjoyed the mussels posilipo so much that we also ordered the clams. You can skip the garlic knots as they weren't very garlicky. The service was prompt!

The smell of tomato sauce was intoxicating from the sidewalk, as we eagerly awaited our two pies, one plain and one olive. Six of us seated outside on a recent weekend evening, including three kids, could enjoy the delicious odors emanating from the kitchen. Our food arrived relatively quickly and soon found fans in the three kids. We had previously sampled the quattro formaggi pizza, which was an absolute treat (though make sure you like blue cheese), as takeout. The plain and olive pizzas were straightforward, tasty and without surprises. The sauce was ever so slightly on the sweet side, at least for my taste, but that didn't stop anyone from chowing down. Our server was lovely, pleasantly bringing condiments that had not been present on our table, as well as flatware and napkins, which nobody in our party noticed until we started to dig into the healthy portions of sauce and cheese on their offerings. The surroundings couldn't have been more charming yet accessible, with its authentic Soho pizzeria vibe, several dozen city streets north of its namesake neighborhood. It's BYOB (there's a wine shop across the street), and they serve Pepsi products (instead of Coca-Cola), if you're curious. The adults in our group agreed to come back sometime soon and maybe even order the intriguing-sounding non-pizza dishes!

Small corner location with that old vintage aesthetic. Tables are first come first serve. Classic great tasting pizza with great flavors. The specials are all delicious my girlfriend loves their spaghetti she can't get enough. Try the margarita pizza it's delicious.

The pizza is meh. It's convenient if you live in the area. Nothing to write home about or go out of your way for.

Salvatores of soho has good food and they are a great neighborhood place. When my brother is here from the Manhattan this is one of our go to places with our parents. Since I am disabled now it is easy to get in and out, I just wish the place was a little bigger, cause they are always busy

Had a party on Saturday and placed my catering order. it arrived on time and the food was very good but I was surprised when no bread came with the pasta dishes we ordered. I call to see what happened. I was told that I had to ask for the bread When I asked how I was supposed to know this, the worker responded that the person who took my order should have asked. Clearly they had not asked. This is a policy that should be rethought especially when orders are over $300.

Some of the best pizza in riverdale! Good food, good service, delivery comes at a decent time. I've never eaten inside but it's def a very chill and cozy place to eat.

The ambiance and service is probably the best qualities here. Seating, indoor and outdoor are both great. Our Margherita pizza was good, but I somewhat wish that I tried once of the pasta dishes. ;One of Riverdale Avenue's best restaurants

What an amazing find today! Charming authentic restaurant. Eggplant Rollatini and white pizza are on point! I will definitely be back....probably tomorrow!!!

Wonderful Old school ambiance sort of adds to the experience of this iconic looking Italian restaurant situated on a bustling corner. The pizza was pretty good. Italian hero was okay. Sufficient hospitality despite how busy they were. Overall, pretty good. Money well spent.

Usually okay. Chicken piccata had become all artichokes and vinegar. Hard to find chicken through the intense vinegar taste.

For Riverdale restaurants this is one to go to. Food is excellent at a very reasonable price. We ate outside and enjoyed the fresh air. We started with the antipasto which was a perfect size for one. Fresh greens, roasted peppers, cheese, cold cuts, cakes and tomatoes. A great start. I had the chicken Salvatore. Tow breast of chicken with prosciutto and portobello mushroom in a rich buttery garlic sauce. Perfect and very filling. My guest had the spaghetti and meatballs which were loaded with meatballs and a great marinara sauce with a saucer of fresh grated parmigiana cheese. Inside restaurant is small and can be crowded. Service was adequate for a crowded day.

Delicious, Consistent and available. Best pies are white, classic and margarita imo but can't fail with the classics. Go to spot for delivery. Great local spot to eat at.

Hubby and I came out here on a double date with our friends. It was their suggestion as they've dined here quite a few times. The place was crowded so we had to wait for a bit but we were accommodated and I'm truly surprised we were able to fit in the dining area with our huge stroller. The staff made us feel at home and checked on us constantly, to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying our meal. We had a lot of food, as the portions are huge. I took a nod from my girlfriends and order the shrimp francese and it came with pasta and sauce on the side. We all shared some broccoli rabe and hubby had a chicken sandwich. The food was great. We haven't been back but they're located close enough that we should definitely visit again, soon.

There's literally nothing on the menu that won't taste good lol. It's a small place and there's usually a wait but it's definitely worth it. Great for families and friends wanting to catch up. It's also BYOB!

As someone who's eaten here for the past 10 years, I'd say I've ordered from here out of loyalty than taste in recent months. Something in the quality of food has changed, maybe the chef or staff has changed, but it hasn't been as good as it's been great for the past 10 years. Salvatore's Seafood is one of our favorites but pasta has been over cooked the past several times. Even the Margherita pizza, as seen in the picture, was disappointing, as it was shredded mozzarella rather than their usual globs of fresh mozzarella. Quality and value has depreciated while the prices increased to accommodate for COVID-19 repercussions.

Not sure why my review was taken down. It's incredible to see so many good reviews. Maybe they get free stuff for posting such good reviews? I've been to this location twice, and none of my friends I went with liked the food, including pasta, ravioli, among other things my friends ordered. The service was okay, no complaints on the service. The ambiance is fine. But seriously, the food was terrible both times I've been there, and overly priced.

I've had Salvatore's of Soho bookmarked for some time now. I love pizza, so I'm always looking for new spots (especially in NYC) to try it. My friend's sister lives in Riverdale and had been to Sal's before with good things to say. That was enough for us to head over, grab some dinner, and catch up. Located right on Riverdale Ave, Sal's sits on a corner with prime visibility. The space isn't large, but there's enough tables to hold a decent amount of people who would like to sit and eat vs. takeout. The decor is kind of plain, but I'm not bothered - this is an old school kind of place so the focus is really more on the food. Seating can be slightly cramped if it's crowded but it's not too big of an issue. As soon as we were seated we were served a basket of flattened garlic-like bread. This was quite good - warm and chewy with just the right amount of garlic; I could eat that all day. For an app we went with mozzarella sticks. This was kind of a risk for me; mozzarella sticks always sound good in theory but I usually end up hating myself after having them. I was pleasantly surprised though - they were super crispy on the outside so the cheese oozed out while still maintaining the dignity of the coating; just how I like them. We of course had to have pizza - they have the basics plus a number of specialty pies. We decided to choose one from the latter section: Mama Lisa's Favorite. This was a cheese pie topped with Gorgonzola, red onion, and asparagus. I enjoyed the pie - the crust was thin, the sauce was good, and the special toppings added just a touch of uniqueness to the pizza. It was familiar and new at the same time, if that makes any sense. Service was great - they were friendly and on top of their game. We never felt forgotten and our food was served at a good pace. Overall, I had a great experience at Sal's - I like old school places like this so it's a total yes for me. I would definitely return to try more pizza and their other offerings.

We chose to go here on a quiet weekday night and let me tell you that it was busy. We sat outside and people just kept coming and the restaurant was very accommodating, brought out more tables and chairs and made sure everyone was taken care of. We had the margarita pizza with pepperoni, chicken Parm and calamari as an appetizer. Everything was very large portions and the sauces were delicious.

Fresh and tasty Chicken Parm Hero for 11.20 can't be beat pizzas pastas and sandwiches are of great quality of flavor

This pizza is the best in the neighborhood!!! Can't wait to try other menu items soon =)

Grateful to have this nice restaurant only a block away from me for a solid meal every so often. The outdoor seating is definitely helpful, given the little indoor seating available. Overall, we spent about $40 for the spinach roll, grandma pizza, and calamari, which is not bad considering the two of us had plenty of leftovers for the next day. Spinach Roll - We saw a number of these on Yelp and tried it. This was good, but not amazing. One suggestion would be to trade cheese for more spinach -- this was a little too cheesy in my opinion, which also made the dough oily. Grandma Pizza - This was a really good pizza. Everything about it was great. This also had a lot of cheese, but it went well with everything else. It also had plenty of sauce, which is always appreciated. Highly recommend this pizza. Calamari - This was also really good. The calamari was tender and not super chewy like some other places. One minor suggestion here would be more marinara sauce for dipping! I would definitely recommend this as well. Price: 4/5 Quality: 4/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5

Had a terrible experience here this week, felt completely discriminated against when I walked in and attempted to dine in with my partner , we've been going here for years but this time , we were blatantly ignored while the table of white men right next to us got served bread and drinks within seconds of entering , waiter finally asked us if we were ready to order after over 15 minutes , and then walked away from us as we were about to order , never again, avoid this place if you're a person of color, you'll definitely feel the vibe change as soon as you walk in , tin marin a couple of doors down is a much better option

The food is a hit or miss. Sometimes they have good food and sometimes it's REALLY bad like I almost threw up one time because the penne a la vodka was so burnt. The service is always good tho like they're so nice. The vibes are there too like cute place to go on a date.

Last night was my first time here. I ordered the chicken piccata with the side salad. I though the portion was generous and the sauce on the chicken was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the Alfredo pasta. The sauce looked a lot less creamy than what I would expect from an Alfredo but he enjoyed it and it did have tons of veggies. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse. Again my friend really liked it. I thought it was not as airy or as sweet as what I'm used to. Overall a very good meal.

Just had a great combination I ordered at Salvatore's Sautéed spinach with grilled shrimp. I wanted to sit outside and it was perfect. The owner is a real nice guy.Staff great. It's a very popular restaurant in riverdale. Definitely recommend Salvatore's

Not sure why this place is so highly rated. The pizza and the food are highly "meh." Bella Notte a block away is so much better. However Salvatore's is a very inviting, cute spot and the outdoor seating is very nice.... So i guess it's got that going for it? The service is also very welcoming. But I gave Salvatores many chances in terms of food and always walked away underwhelmed.

I came by this hidden gem of a pizzeria purely by accident. I walked into this tiny pizzeria and ordered the margarita slice to go. (It's COVID-19 era, there no such thing as eating in.) As soon as I sat inside my car & smelled the pizza slice, I knew this was gonna be different, that the usual slice of pizza. It was THIN, CRISPY and the mozzarella was deliciously fresh! After finishing this slice, I got out of my car again and ran back in and ordered the regular slice. The slice was PAPER THIN, crispy & most importantly tasted freshly made w/ quality cheese, tomato and bread. Go ahead and be amazed.

Food was extremely underwhelming. Surprised given the various 5 star reviews I've seen on here. But their pizza and pasta were severely lacking taste.

Overall, yummy Italian food! I ordered for pick up and it was easy ordering over the phone and picking up in store. It smelt amazing, I would have just wanted more flavor in the sauce/ meatball. It was all great texture and I loved the cheese, I just wish it had a little more excitement.

Eat in best. Relaxed atmosphere and delicious pizza. I also had one delivered and it's more amazing out of the oven. Service was welcoming and definitely my new favorite Pizza Spot in Riverdale

Everything at Salvatores is spot on--their pizza, their pasta, their subs, their salads, their appetizers... you name it, they do it up right! Everything is just utterly mouthwatering! This restaurant will not win any beauty contests aesthetically, but that's not the kind of place Salvatores is--it's just a simple, no-nonsense old school ma & pa style restaurant that serves up some really good homestyle Italian American fare. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes at Salvatores, but some of my favorites include: --Sicilian Square pizza (like a Grandma's pizza if you're familiar with that; thick and square-shaped) - the Salvatore's version is spot on for sure! Note that I always add sausage and ricotta to mine. YUM! --Mario's Favorite pizza, which includes sausage, broccoli rabe, and mushrooms - This pie is super yummy! You cannot go wrong with this one either! --Chicken Scarpariello pasta, which is pasta tossed with a delicious combo of lemon, garlic, cherry peppers, sausage, and white wine sauce - This one is great! Be warned, however, that it will definitely feed 2 people... especially if you get a small pizza along with it or an appetizer. --Meatball appetizer - OMG tasty and HUGE! Just do it! --Chef salad - Italian meats, tasty greens, yummy dressing. YASSS! --Meatball sub - No words to describe how good this is! A close 2nd is their Italian sub. You really can't go wrong with either one. As you might garner from this review, I'm a big fan of this place! Oh, and did I mention it's BYOB?!? Sounds like a pain in the ass, right? Well, not really. This way, you can buy your own wine, and your meal will end up being far cheaper than those restaurants with full bars!

Salvatore's of Soho is our go to neighborhood favorite restaurant! The food is amazing, delicious whether we sit in their cozy restaurant where the ambiance makes us feel like we are eating at home with family, or when we order food to be delivered! The service is amazing! The staff are friendly and I love that they remember us and always come over and say hello. I highly recommend their pizza! Sooo good! The Chicken no matter how prepared is always delicious. Everything is so fresh! Bottom line, BEST Italian food in the Neighborhood

Great place. Love that I can bring my own bottle of wine. Food is great too and the summer outdoor is nice and refreshing

A lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of Riverdale, NY. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. Limited seating indoors, but they have a nice outdoor area which is perfect now that warmer weather is here. A broad selection of pizza and pasta dishes on the menu along with some great specials. Shrimp with pasta and lemon sauce was fantastic. The ravioli alla vodka sauce was filling. This is one of the few places that allows you to bring your own beer or wine with no corking fee. This places attaches a diverse crowd and I can see why, they provide good eats for a great price. While we were there orders were flying out the door for home deliveries. If it was that busy on a Monday night I can imagine what happens Fridays and Saturdays. We will be back this place is meraviglioso :)

Always the BEST Food. The Restaurant service as well as Delivery Drivers are incredibly friendly. The ambiance is relaxed and very appealing. I can't stress how great everything is so great at this gem in Riverdale.

This is the only pizza place in Riverdale that actually has good pizza & pasta. The flavor & representation is consistent & I've never really been disappointed with their service.

Had a group outing and Salvatores was able to seat us rather quickly. Although it looks small from the outside there was plenty of room for our party of 7 to sit together and converse without shouting. We ordered two large meat lovers which were very good and hot out of the oven. Their slices are fairly large and the toppings were fresh. You may have to dab a little of the grease off, but the pizza was delicious with plenty of fresh cheese. Our waitress was great and always checking to see if we needed anything. This is a great family owned place.

I've always passed by this restaurant and just ignored it. Don't know why. Not a huge fan of Italian food. But my niece and nephew dragged me in one day because they go to school in the neighborhood. Gracious staff, good portions, good prices, good flavor. That experience motivated me to order their pizza for delivery, and I have to say it was very well priced and delicious. I wish I had a picture of the pizza to share but we ate it all really fast LOL. I will definitely order again-- and then I'll show you all a picture :-)

Everything was amazing. Had an exceptional meal here with my family! Everyone was very kind and the atmosphere is very warm and pleasant.

Great Italian restaurant with very reasonable prices. Food and pizza is wonderful! Service is always good and time wait for food reasonable. Ambiance is very relaxed and outdoor dining nice if the weather allows.

Great friendly service. Best pizza around. I've tried them all. I go here all the time. The price is reasonable as well!

Ok meal in our neighborhood. Sat outside where the seating arrangement is much more pleasant than indoors. The atmosphere inside left much to be desired- very crowded, hot, and stuffy. The food was just ok- probably would not return. The pizza bread they provide is good. The chicken scarpariello dish was swimming in butter sauce and looked like the chicken was pressed. The taste was decent. The spaghetti meatballs dish was mediocre at best- the meatballs were pretty terrible- but the marinara sauce was good.

Admittedly, we've only gotten takeout from here, but fully intend to dine here one night soon. Out take-out experience has always been great. From the order process (on the phone) to quick delivery, they are always quick and pleasant. But the food, of course, is the star of the experience. Pizza, salads, pasta have all been top notch.

My go to cheat meal! Everything is delicious from the pizza to the lasagna to the penne. I can go on. Service is wonderful, everyone is accommodating and friendly. Since my boyfriend and i are now familiar faces, the owner always makes it a point to stop by and greet us. This is nice because it adds to the coziness and authenticity of the restaurant. Recommendation: Shrimp Parm (thank me later)

Lovely small business in Riverdale with super fresh & yummy options. Definitely worth a try for pizza fanatics. And don't forget to BYOB, grab a bottle at the local liquor store down the block.

Today was the 5th time something has been left out of our delivery order. It's extremely frustrating. We like ordering from here because they have decent food and desserts and the food arrives quickly but like SERIOUSLY PLEASE STOP FORGETTING THINGS IN OUR ORDER it's almost EVERY time we order now.

This place is perfection from the quaint decor to the authentic Italian food and delicious sauces. I've walked by this place many times and wish I had tried it sooner! My husband and I ordered a large pepperoni margherita pizza and actually finished the entire thing. The crust, the sauce, the flavor, everything was just right. Also, their garlic bread is like no other. I'm already planning my next visit ASAP. It's BYOB so don't forget to bring a nice bottle of wine :) I'm sooooo happy I visited. Thumbs wayyy up!
