   The atmosphere is great. I really wanted to like the food and it wasn't bad, just lacking something. The Brussels Sprouts were very good. The watermelon salad was refreshing but just lacked something. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly but the sauce was found wanting. The pistachio gelato dessert was not worthwhile. Having said I would return for drinks. They are still and the atmosphere is just so very cool.

   The service and ambience was great and it was nice sitting outside on the patio! Desi was a great server and we really enjoyed the summer inspired dishes - the corn salad and the watermelon salad.

   Average food with limited menu and no substitutions allowed. We were unsatisfied and still hungry when we left.

   Ordered the chicken Parmigiana and it was cold on the inside, not even lukewarm. The breading was cold as well as if it was yesterday’s left overs. The Pasta Bolognese was just ok. The drinks, however, were quite good.

   waiter took my order but never put it in then tried to gaslight me saying I didn’t put an order in. The food never came in time to dine with the person I was with and I ended up having to take my food in a to-go box which completely ruined the whole point of going to eat out. Restaurant didn’t offer any discounts or compensation for their terrible service and I won’t be coming back. The ambiance was nice with the lighting and cool art but the service is unacceptable

    It’s was Father’s Day and we came to celebrate (party of 8) for dinner and the “fire show” and we were very disappointed that there was no show! I think that’s false advertisement!! We we’re not compensated for anything nor did the manager bother to come and apologize. I spoke to someone on the phone to confirm that same day and she never said anything about no show, social media advertisement didn’t say it was canceled or anything either! I’ve been wanting to try this place for a very long time and this “fire show” was what got me in, the food and service was good but the way things were handled left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not be returning. Sorry, poor management!

    We were there for Father’s Day brunch. The environment and service were impeccable. My dish was well prepared. The item my girlfriend had was less desirable, but still decent. The drinks however, were watered down. The staff did apologize and remedied the situation. Overall, the experience was amazing. We will try Salvatore’s again in the near future.

    I don’t know if I’ve ever come back to this place. It was definitely a terrible experience. Though I had a reservation we waited over 10 minutes outside prior to being asked to be sat at the bar. Once we were at the bar we waited another 15 minutes prior to being sat on a chair and table. Once at our table we waited over 40 minutes before I asked to get the attention of our waiter or waitress. Finally they came over and apologized. I think that overall the ambience could be a great asset to this place however there are too many sparklers and celebrations going off every 10 to 15 minutes. When we were there and it happened over 10 times. I get the whole celebratory fill however, if it comes up the expense of providing service to the rest of the guests and wait times exceeding over an hour even though a reservation is had, a creates a fill of why am I here and I’m on my wasting my time and money. I don’t think I’ve ever come back to this place. The food was less than stellar I ordered the shrimp dish and it was shrimp piled on top of a watered down sauce. My partner ordered the seafood pasta and it was also less than stellar. The shrimp is cooked way too long. The pasta had no flavor. We’re living in the age of Covid and I couldn’t help but not to drink my drink. The bartender took a cubed ice and Put it in my class after she got done handling money. Yeah I probably won’t come back

    Not a relaxing Italian restaurant- more like a night club vibe. The food also really taste Italian, it was heavily spiced. If you want a place with lots of young energy - then this could be your place. If you want authentic Italian food in a relaxing environment… not your place.

    Upon arriving it was off putting to have a reservation and our table not be ready. However, they turned it around completely with wonderful drinks! “The Meridian” which is their spin on an old fashioned even comes with a flask ! How cool is that?! We were escorted to the back room with a cool Medusa neon art behind the bar. The staff was attentive and very accommodating. The chicken parm was decent. The food wasn’t anything mind blowing. The ambiance is where we enjoyed ourselves ! The music was wonderful and energetic ! We will definitely come back.

    The food was amazing and the service im sure they did well with being how busy it was but i asked for a dessert i could pay for or a candle on the one we ordered for my friends birthday and they ended up not giving us anything but we had to watch everyone pass by with sparklers. I also specifically asked for a nice table a week ahead of time which we didn’t get either. everything else was great !

    The food reminds of going to Italy and sitting down with a family and having a classic Italian Dish. Delicious and consistent. The cocktails are expensive, but worth every penny. They are inventive and full of flavor. Side Note: This didn’t reflect in my review (didn’t feel like it was necessary), but I made reservations and put that it was a special occasion (my girlfriends birthday) and they didn’t seem to have any of that information or make any efforts to address it. No one said Happy Birthday or acknowledge it at all.

    Food was excellent but the bartender has no clue on how to make a martini (served warm and in a tall glass)...If you are going to chare premium prices, then you must have a premium experience to match. That being said, the quality of the food was excellent.

    First time here! Such a beautiful place. Hostess was very welcoming and our sever did not disappoint either! To our surprise, they had HH til 7 pm so that was a plus! Good food and great service! Would Definitely return! We shared a few Items and ordered the special steak of the night. Every thing was perfect from start to finish. We also celebrated a couple of birthdays and they come out with free dessert with sparkles and glowing birthday sign!
