Salute Ristorante

Wow
Wow wow !!!! The most amazing food I ever have , it was an excellent food , exceptional service , nice place , I love it. I recommend it to everyone. I can’t wait to go back !!!!!!

This place is a real gem. Authentic Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. Definitely will go back often. Prices are reasonable. Everything about Salute is positive. Definitely recommend.

I am so happy I found this place. First, don't listen to the reviews that say the service is slow or the menu is too pricey. For how full the restaurant was I am surprised at how fast the servers were moving. Of course a busy place may be a little slower, but they were always aware of our table. I will also gladly pay a little more for a menu that is not a carbon copy of 15 other restaurants in the area. Check it out before you complain about the price. I feel it's worth the variety. The food was excellent, the service was polite and helpful with any questions we had, and two employees other than our server stopped to check-in on how things were. I will definitely be back to Salute!!!

Update...I understand that ownership has changed, but we visited this past weekend and I am happy to say that the food and recipes were still the same and quite awesome! Other than a few new faces it was the same great Salute we know and love!
Saturday evening dinner for 4. Seated quickly and since it's a byo, wine was on the table. Appetizers were great including mussels and shrimp sambuca. Veal Piccata was great with a side of rabe, and my friends pork chop looked fantastic. This place is solid and consistent.

TLDR: good food, semi pricey, decent service

The atmosphere: the place is not big, but it’s not small. It’s small enough and set up in a way that makes it hard to hear oneself think when it’s packed. Chalk it up to it being an Italian restaurant (as Stereotypical Italians are loud), but I just don’t think the space allows for great conversation when sat in the middle of the establishment. But it’s a cute place.

The food: ordered the calamari and mozzarella sticks. Surprisingly, the sticks were served with a cheese sauce versus a traditional red marinara. The calamari wasn’t overly greasy or chewy, meeting the average dish. Personally ordered the orchiette dish with broccoli rabe and sausage, which I enjoyed it greatly. The rigatoni ala vodka was SUPER creamy and thick.

Service: waiter was good. Wait staff excellent. Understandable that it was a busy Saturday evening, but don’t be so exasperated and rude if the party is not aware or familiar with ordering everything at once.

Would I recommend? Yes. Do visit. Do enjoy. Do continue support this lovely business. Also, it is BYO-W. A lovely positive.
