" Enjoyed a delightful dinner here with friends! Everything from the service to the food was top-notch. We shared several appetizers, and each was better than the last! The bruschetta was fresh and vibrant with seasoned tomatoes and lovely basil. The only issue was a small wait to be seated, even with reservations, but the terrific quality of food and friendly service made it worthwhile. A solid recommendation! " (*Curated Review*)

" An authentic Italian experience! The pasta was fantastic, especially the fettuccine Alfredo which was prepared just right. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and laughter. The staff was friendly but could improve on attention to detail, needing reminders for drinks. We enjoyed our meal and felt welcomed during our visit, which is what really matters in a dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Sal's on a whim after hearing so many good things. It's rare to find a place that combines such authenticity with a fun atmosphere. The pasta was cooked perfectly! I had a light seafood pasta dish that was refreshing. The staff were warm and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. I will definitely make this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I've visited Sal's, I've come away happy! The food is always fresh, and you can tell they take pride in their ingredients. This past visit, I tried the special chicken dish, and I'm telling you— so good! The service, while friendly, did take its time; still, it's so worth the wait. The atmosphere is laid back yet bustling, perfect for a fun night with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" At Sal's, the food feels like a labor of love. The spaghetti pomodoro is light yet so flavorful, with fresh basil making all the difference.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic and comforting Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little spot for traditional Italian fare. I had the chicken parmesan and loved it! The meat was juicy and the marinara sauce was rich and flavorful. The portion was quite generous, and I couldn't finish everything. Service was standard, nothing to complain about. The place itself was very lovely, with charming décor and an inviting atmosphere. I would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Sal's for a casual dinner with friends. The unique pasta dishes here stand out. I had the penne alla vodka, which was creamy and full of flavor. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful. The only downside is that it got a bit noisy as it filled up. Overall, it was delightful dining, and I'd definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)
