" We celebrated my partner's birthday at Sal's, and I must say it surpassed all our expectations! We ordered an array of dishes, including lasagna, shrimp scampi, and their signature garlic knots. Each course was better than the last and delivered promptly. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, particularly in the homemade pasta. The ambiance made the evening even more special; it was intimate and perfect for a night out. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent wine pairing suggestions. Sal's is now at the top of our list for Italian dining! Can't wait for our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Sal’s this past weekend for a family dinner. I was excited based on all the recommendations, but I was left a little disappointed. Although my lasagna was tasty, my wife’s spaghetti lacked the richness I was expecting. The breadsticks were soft but felt a bit undercooked. The decor was warm and inviting; however, our server seemed overwhelmed as we had to flag her down a few times. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I might try another location next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience at Sal's! The atmosphere was slightly noisy due to the weekend crowd, but the vibe was lively. The seafood dish I had was extraordinary – fresh calamari with a homemade marinara that was perfection! The waitstaff were friendly but seemed a little overworked, which made service a bit slower than expected. I will definitely return and perhaps go on a weeknight when it might be quieter so I can fully enjoy the evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re a fan of Italian food, you must visit Sal’s! My last meal there consisted of gnocchi in marinara sauce, and it was absolutely delightful. The blend of flavors was heavenly, and I appreciated the generous serving size. The service was quick and attentive as our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu. The only small downside was that it's a bit cramped during busy hours. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sal's is a real treasure! I immediately felt welcomed when I walked in. The waitstaff was incredibly warm and kind. Our group ordered a range of dishes: the manicotti was creamy and satisfying, the chicken marsala was rich and flavorful, and their dessert menu is to die for, especially the tiramisu! If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than Sal's. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait if you go during peak hours. Totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sal's Italian Restaurant lives up to the hype! The garlic knots were incredible, warm, and buttery – definitely a highlight. I ordered the seafood pasta dish, which had a delightful assortment of shrimp and scallops. While the flavors were mouthwatering, the dish could have benefitted from a bit more seasoning. The service was attentive, but they were busy as it was a Saturday evening. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I’m excited to return to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice dinner at Sal's last week. I found the food average at best; my chicken marsala was a bit bland, and I expected more from a renowned place. The service was okay, but the ambiance was pleasant with soft lighting. I might consider going back for pizza if I find myself in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)
