" Sal's has become my favorite Italian place in town! The dishes are crafted with such care and authenticity. I ordered the seafood linguine, which had large, perfectly cooked shrimp and clams. It tasted so fresh! The ambiance was inviting and made for a perfect evening out. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is that it was a bit crowded, leading to a slight delay in service. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible dining experience at Sal's! From the moment I walked in, I felt warmly welcomed, and the ambiance was delightful. We started with the burrata and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. For mains, I had the carbonara while my partner ordered the cacio e pepe. Both were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable; our server knew the menu inside out and offered wonderful recommendations. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The service was excellent! Our server was friendly and attentive, which made our visit so enjoyable. To start, we had the fried calamari, and they were cooked to perfection, not greasy at all! For the main, I had the bolognese—rich, with the perfect level of herbs. The pasta felt homemade. We also loved the ambiance! The lighting makes it feel cozy, perfect for a night out. We will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Sal's! The cozy vibe and cheerful staff made our night genuine. I was particularly impressed with the gnocchi, which melted in my mouth! My partner had the lasagna, and it was comforting and hearty—the perfect winter dish. While the service got a bit slow toward the end of the meal, the delicious food made it all worthwhile. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I stumbled upon Sal's while walking through the neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. The ambiance was cozy, and the food was exquisite! I tried the chicken tortelloni, which was delectably rich. The staff were friendly and attentive. This will definitely be my new go-to Italian restaurant! " (*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*)
