Reviews
As newcomers to the area, we’ve now tried three different Salvatore’s locations. While we appreciate the consistently great service and broad selection of dishes, the food itself didn’t quite meet expectations as traveling foodies.
Unfortunately, many of the dishes we ordered–from entrees to salads–tended to be overly greasy and salty. Even the tiramisu was underwhelming, lacking the quality we’ve found in local bakeries like Kroger.
That said, Salvatore’s has a lot of potential. If the flavors and preparation were refined, we’d happily return. For now, it’s a decent option, but not yet the standout Italian dining experience we were hoping for.
The atmosphere was great until a large party next to us had an argument amongst themselves. It turned volatile very quickly and things were said that I as an adult was shocked to hear, let alone my grandchildren and all of the other children in that room that were with a different group. Several employees heard this and were in and out of the room, but never approached that table. We were done eating and left quickly. The food and service were amazing though!!
I called in an order for a pepperoni pizza. I was told 20 minutes and it would be ready for pick up. I went in at the 20 minute mark and it was ready and in the warmer up front. Well done! Waitstaff at front was friendly, and polite. I noticed Salvatori’s copper lager beer in the cooler. I had to add one to my pizza order. Paid and headed back to where we stayed which was a 7 minute drive. Pizza was still warm when I arrived.
Pizza review: Pizza dough has flavor, it’s the flavor that you notice. The crust and dough has no snap whatsoever. It’s soft and more bread like. There is almost no red sauce under the cheese. The cheese wasn’t greasy at all. Had a very mild flavor. The pepperoni were somewhat bland. Reminded me of pepperoni from a gas station Pizza to be honest. As some who has had quite a few pizzas in my life, this one stood out. Not something I liked much. A flavor in the dough, and the lackluster cheese and pepperoni did it for me.
The Salvatori’s Copper Red Lager: this beer was brewery by Hop River Brewing in Fort Wayne. This beer was good. Good enough to make me want to go to the Brewery for a flight.
The manager instantly greets me with a smile and asks if I need help with anything or if I was looking for the bathroom, like she could read my mind lol. All I had to say was yes and thank you lol.
The only downfall I found from this place was that there aren’t any trash cans inside the stalls for feminine hygiene products. The bathroom was very clean though and the stall door locked, which is always a bonus lol.
The bartender was so on point with everything and really knew his stuff. I don’t know if he ever responded to my questions with any answer close to “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure”. The fact that he boxed our leftovers up for us was mind blowing. I haven’t been to a restaurant with that level of service in YEARS! We honestly didn’t feel like we even had to wait long for our food. We ordered an appetizer when we ordered our drinks. He brought our drinks to us and we talked a little bit about the menu and ordered our meals. I went to the bathroom and came back to our appetizer and my husband already digging into his salad. We finished our appetizer and maybe waited 4 minutes until our entrees came out. It was the fastest service we have had in awhile.
As far as the food goes, it was good and worth the money. You get what you pay for. We had the bruschetta for our appetizer and it was perfect. The Caesar salad was fresh. My husband ordered one of the specials. I think it was a Cajun sausage pasta? I can’t remember now. He loved it though. I had the Chicken Parmigiana and there was enough pasta on my plate to feed 3 people lol. The sauce was good and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the chicken was the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant lol. It was so dry and chewy. I LOVE chicken parm and I think Olive Garden beat them by a long shot in the flavor department and the fact they give you breadsticks and salad. However, Salvatori’s charged $1-$2 less than OG does and they fill their massive plates. My husband NEVER has leftovers to take home, (even after eating the endless breadsticks and salad at OG), and he didn’t get through half of this dish if that tells you anything about portion size.
If you are looking for great service and Italian food, I definitely recommend coming here. I will return in the future for sure.
I started with the Meatball Appetizer, these weren’t just any meatballs. They were tender, hand-rolled perfection, juicy, rich, and infused with just the right blend of seasoning. As I cut into them, they practically melted into the deep, velvety meat sauce that was bursting with slow-cooked, savory goodness. The Mancini peppers and onions added a hint of sweetness and a touch of heat, creating a perfect contrast to the bold, meaty flavors. And then came the crowning glory, a blanket of gooey, golden mozzarella, baked to perfection, stretching with every bite. The toasted garlic bread on the side? Buttery, crisp, and the perfect tool for soaking up every last drop of that incredible sauce.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I took my first sip of the Italian Wedding Soup and it felt like a warm embrace in a bowl. The broth was light yet layered with depth, delicately seasoned to enhance every ingredient without overpowering them. Floating in this rich, golden broth were bite-sized meatballs so tender they practically dissolved on my tongue. The tiny pasta added a satisfying chew, while the onions, carrots, and tomatoes infused a subtle sweetness that balanced out the savory elements. The fresh spinach swirled through each spoonful, bringing brightness and freshness to an already perfect dish.
What truly made this meal unforgettable was how beautifully everything worked together—the bold, cheesy indulgence of the meatballs meeting the delicate warmth of the soup. Every bite, every sip, every flavor felt intentional, like a symphony of textures and tastes playing in perfect harmony. I’ll definitely be back for more!
