" This is my go-to spot for Italian food! I love the family-style feel of the restaurant. The pasta dishes are always great and really hit the spot. The only drawback is parking, which can sometimes be a hassle. Very much worth it for the nourishing meals you’ll receive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit. The fried calamari was perfectly crunchy, but my main course—a carbonara—wasn't as rich as I expected. Service was erratic; some staff were amazing, others seemed distracted. Still, I'll give it another shot because I loved the appetizers and I want to try the pizza next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Salamone's is a hidden gem! The seafood fettuccine was decadent but the scallops were a bit underwhelming in size. Overall, you can taste the authenticity in their food, which is exceptionally hard to find. The atmosphere feels intimate, perfect for date nights. Service was prompt, although I did notice a couple of mix-ups. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had high hopes based on recommendations, but our experience was mixed. The food was decent, though I expected a bit more from the calzones—slightly heavy on the cheese. The service was friendly but felt rushed, and the atmosphere was quite noisy, especially during peak hours. I'd like to give it another try during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted a family gathering here and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious! The raviolis were particularly noteworthy—fresh and flavorful. The staff was accommodating, and they even helped me with details for our celebration. Highly recommend for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious pasta dishes! I ordered the seafood special and was wowed by the freshness. It had just the right amount of seasoning and the portions were quite generous. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was lively, making it a perfect spot for celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)
