My wife and I really enjoyed this place.
We were looking for pizza, and to watch college football. Well we found this place, and we definitely will be back.
We ordered MARGHERITA PIZZA, and the texture of the pizza was good, but no BASIL at all. We added two more toppings to it and was so expensive……. But we really like it.
My wife ordered ESPRESSO MARTINI, and it was not that bad.
I only ordered beer and was really cheap. 3dls bottle (Saturday).
We ended with the best TIRAMISU in a while!!!!!!!

Came her for dinner sept 13. We had 4 people order the baked Sausage Paisano and all 4 were different. One had a lot more sausage then another one, a different one had more vodka sauce than the other one is very inconsistent plating. As for the combo appetizer platter, a half of the items were lukewarm at best. The others were warm. It is not something I would order again..

We also ordered a pizza and a burger to go both were good nothing great nothing that would make me say must return. I will come back, but I won’t go out of my way to visit.

I had a great experience here. Was greeted at the door with a smile. The place is huge with lots of seating during a Saturday dinner time. There were a few staff walking around making sure we were comfortable, brought us water and they were prompt at the time of service. They also came by every so often making sure our table was clean of unused dishes. I liked it. Even there wasn’t that many people their etiquette was very professional and timely. There are so many TVs that you can sit anywhere and not loose sight of any games. They also had loads of drink specials for every day of the week. Food was brought up in a timely manner. We ordered a medium thin Pizza,Salerno’s style, it was nice and crunchy and the taste was on the spicy side. Exactly how a pizza should taste, we also ordered a Track Burger, it was cooked at the temperature specified, it wasn’t dry, condiments on the side, except for the blue cheese, it was fresh and ready to eat.They had background music over touch tunes. It wasn’t super loud, but just enough so we could enjoy our requests. It’s a family style Grill. I had a great dinner there. Thank you team for the great experince. Will be back to try other dinner items

Pizza was outstanding as it usually is. I grew up on Salernos pizza and even though I have since moved out of the area, it’s still my favorite.
We were there around 9pm on a Saturday they were slightly busy but there were also plenty of empty tables. The service took a long time and being sat by the kitchen door, the servers spent a lot of time loitering around the registers. I understand that with the thicker crust pizza we got it takes some time to cook, but even getting our drinks and check took a long time.

Went there for a event on Valentines day. Paid 100 dollars for a table of four, which is not a problem. The problem came from the over charging in alcohol sales. I expect to pay a little more but that night was just insane with there prices . Example I bought a shot of patron, they charged me 19 dollars. When I asked if this was right they said yes 14 for the shot and they automatically gave themselves a 20 % tip. Which is ridiculous. Plus 20% is 2.80 not 5 dollars . They did the same with the bucket of beers . I will never return there again for a event . I believe it was Eventbrite that hosted the event. I will be warning everyone about there prices on event nights.

On 01/09/26 my wife and I went to Salerno Pincente for dinner. When we lived in the area it was a frequent stop, and have been going there for 15 years. After this last experience we will not be back.

All of the tables except a couple booths on the perimeter have been converted to hi-top tables (they used to be proper dining tables) and the restaurant has become a sports bar. That’s their prerogative, and we didn’t care as long as the food was still good. The hostess initially seated us at a hi-top that the bathroom hallway leads to. The bathroom doors are less than 10 feet from this table, which should not exist. We asked for a different table so we didn’t have to smell human waste every time a door opened.

We were then seated in a side room formerly used for banquets. The table we were seated at had food, paper waste, and toothpicks from previous diners. The hostess must have thought this was fine, because she did not call a busser. When the waitress came we asked to have it cleaned, she said she would get a busser. 10 minutes later no busser, but the waitress arrived and wiped down ONLY the 4 square feet directly in front of us. She left all of the litter and waste sitting next to us. She asked if we wanted drinks, and we would have ordered drinks except she brought no drink menus. The food menu has food only. On a matter of principle now I wouldn’t buy a drink from them.

The room looked like an abandoned space that they just put people in. The walls had data ports and outlets surrounding holes in drywall where TV’s had been ripped out. There were food serving trays used for buffets on the ground. Granted they were not being used, but I don’t want to see anything which will eventually contain food on the ground. There was an HDMI cable hanging at head-height from the ceiling where a projector had been removed. Paint is chipped off all the trim. Out of curiosity I looked I the rear-most area which formerly contained OTB facilities, and there were empty tv brackets on the walls and a small stage loaded with random boxes of Christmas decorations. There is an overhead track with speakers and stage lights mounted, so it appears that they are trying to use this portion as a very small entertainment space. Which is fine, except that the whole facility looked like something out of an abandoned building/urban explorers YouTube video.

There is no longer free soup or salad with dinners, you have to pay $3 or $4 now. There is no bread brought to the table.

The food was acceptable but not up to its former standards. On the way out I used the men’s room, and there were no other occupants. Light bulbs were burned out, the sink was covered in water and had soap dispensers ripped off the wall, paper waste was strewn throughout the floor, and 1 of 2 urinals was covered in a plastic garbage bag.

Salerno’s has become a wasteland. I don’t know if there are new owners or what has caused this, but I advise avoiding it like the plague. There are zero standards for cleanliness, the atmosphere is depressing and almost scary, there are no standards for service -not even wiping other people’s waste off the table. This place does not care about its customers and it is reflected 10 times over.

Hey Salerno’s: a little drywall mud and paint goes a long way, and take the food service items off the floor and invest in this thing called a broom. Ask yourselves and your employees if you think you deserve a clean table away from the smell of feces, and a drink menu. Maybe you can unplug the dangling cords. Your whole establishment looks like it has been raided by looters who put your TVs for sale online.

What a disappointment that a place that really had their act together and was an example of what other restaurants should strive to be has turning into a dump hawking buckets of Lite.

I came in as I usually have. I’ve been there many many times came in ordered Italian food. Ask them for a piece of bread because they didn’t bring any and she charged me $2.50 without telling me it was going to be an up charge. I think that is absolutely ridiculous. When you get Italian food you usually get a piece of bread or a roll. I’m very unsatisfied. I will probably never order Italian there again if I go back, but probably they’ve lost the customer and I would not recommend the place only because they don’t acknowledge up charges. After many times there, disappointed that I probably won’t go back too many other restaurants to go to I spend $80 to $120 each time I go there I think they can give somebody a piece of bread many other restaurants to go to that have good food in a free piece of bread called to talk to the manager no return call again for Poor relationship

Food was ok nothing special but no complaints
On my check there’s was a charge “management fee “ I eat out 3 to 4 times a week and i run in some those charges and every single time it was removed
Salerno manager wouldn’t remove he tried to explain first he said the charges was to help pay kitchen staff! Then he said some people don’t leave tip so maybe was for the waitress but I believe this was for the house I believe it was 3% of the bills
If you don’t make enough money increase the price in the menu
Will never come back to this place

My friends and I came in tonight — we’re a group of young women — and from the moment we sat down, the experience was disappointing. The bartender didn’t even greet us with a simple “hi” or “how are you?” before snapping, “ladies, I need IDs.” We handed them over without issue, but her attitude was rude from the start.

We decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and ordered drinks. My friend and I got espresso martinis — they came out half full and were $18 each. I never send drinks back, but come on. We then ordered shots, hoping things would improve, but she never checked in on us — we had to flag her down. When she finally poured the shots, they were clearly under-poured (I’m a bartender myself, so I know what a proper pour looks like).

I asked for an orange juice back for my shot, and she rolled her eyes and said “yeah,” then charged me for it. I don’t mind paying, but being overcharged for under-poured drinks with that attitude is just ridiculous.

Overall, the service was rude, unprofessional, and clearly biased — she only seemed interested in serving the men who came in. It’s a shame because the place itself has potential, but that kind of service drives people away. Definitely won’t be back unless the staff changes.

Unfortunately I had to take my pizza to go after waiting for over an hour with two small kids so by the time I got to eat it wasn’t hot anymore. The issue was the kitchen made the pizza wrong but the server was not communicating that and there is no way they pushed the new pizza to the front of line with how long I waited. Over all, it was very disappointing.
The only reason I gave them 3 stars and not 1 was because they did not charge me for the pizza which was nice but I would rather pay and have a great experience.
