Extremely wonderful ambience! This place is BEAUTIFUL...oh and the food is delicious too. Although I forgot to take pictures of my entree, the cocktails were delectable! The staff was inviting, attentive and ever so professional. I wanted to try more on the menu, but the Braised Beef was exactly the right portion, the shrimp pasta and mushroom pasta were equally delicious (so I was told). The website did say they were excepting reservations, but we were graciously invited in just for showing up. If you visit ypu have to try it! $$$$

ADORABLE! Intimate with great lighting & decor for cute pictures. The food was surprisingly delicious. I had fried olives which were transcendent and the vodka pasta with shrimp.. oh my god so good. Attentive & friendly staff. 10/10 I recommend

Our experience there was memorable. We celebrated two birthdays at once and they did everything they could to accommodate our requests. Belly was our server and had the most patience I’ve seen. We felt no rush and the place is beautiful. Def recommend and will go back for the happy hour pizza. Oh and the Golden-Hill (Drink) presentation was awesome!

Real cool place, with great food. The wait staff were very attentive and made sure to check on us while we were there. My wife ordered wine and I ordered an espresso martini and it was great. For food we ordered the fried gnocchi. There’s probably an old Italian man rolling over in his grave but they were delicious. For dinner, we got the prosciutto pizza and the penne all’ arrabiatta pasta. Both very good Another cool part of Salvatore’s is that they have a speakeasy near their bathrooms. We didn’t get a chance to go in but our waitress mentioned it’s very cool and they have a separate drink menu

Dropped in for brunch today and what an experience! I was blown away by the interior design of the place. Quite ritzy and upscale. One of the best bloody Mary's I have ever had that's sure to cure a hangover. The presentation of the food and beverages was immaculate and the bonus was its quality as well. Savory bites and quite filling. The small menu was a indicator to me that the chefs focus on mastering signature dishes instead of an expansive menu.

First time coming here and the food was delicious. I went during New year's Eve event and the theme was Alice in wonderland, the cocktails were based on the story. I seriously git full going into my third dish. I thought the dishes were going to be small but I was wrong. I never tasted salmon that good and the beef was perfect, well cooked but still juicy. The dessert was delicious, just the right amount of sugar, not too sweet and the fruit helped a lot with the taste.

The fried olives with ricotta and honey were amazing. Swordfish was well prepared with sweet beets and bright tomatoes. The mushroom pasta with peas was rich and creamy. Wine list was mediocre. Dessert was nothing to write home about. After dinner drink menu was non-existent. Bizarre, loud music hammering over the loudspeaker was extremely annoying. Service was lacking, considering the prices. This place doesn't know what it wants to be. While parts of it were definitely fine dining (appetizers and entrees alone were 5 stars), other parts were trying too hard to be a night club/pick-up joint. Recommend dining on the patio or getting appetizers and entrees to go. Had to lower my rating due to ambience, service, dessert and lack of digestifs, given the price.

Salvatore’s is a modern take on Italian fare, with creative drinks and a modern environment. If you’re looking to seat more than a few guests, I recommend getting a reservation (they’re on OpenTable) and planning ahead of time. I ordered their Vodka Rigatoni, and it was cooked flawlessly. For an appetizer, try the corn salad for a fresher takes on street corn. Lastly, I ordered their Old Fashioned, which came in a flask that I got to keep! This is an excellent pick for a downtown date night.
