    I was photographing a cross country meet at Jay County High School, and I remembered that this restaurant wasn't far. It looked busy, so I figured it must be good. Sadly, Jinny's down the road in Bryant didn't make me want to return, even though it was recommended. As I found the front door, there was a large board full of specials. I'm not sure anyone could remember them since there were probably 20 of them. As I entered, a man picked up a couple of menus and asked me how many. I said one and held up a finger since he seemed to have two menus in his hand. He put down one of the menus and started telling me how it's better to go to a restaurant with someone else and proceeded to give me dating advice. :-D Perhaps, it was that I was still a bit wet from being out in the rain for 2+ hours but he sat me as far back as the building went. Maybe, that's where they put the outsiders when they can't put them outside. As I started with the menu, a waitress came to the table and asked if she could start me with a drink. As I fumbled for the drinks, she mentioned Pepsi products and I asked for a Diet Mountain Dew (no sugar for me right now). It wasn't very long and she returned. Many people were being seated at the time. I couldn't really decide because there were so many menu selections but chose a Corned Beef on Rye Sandwich. I asked for Swiss Cheese and Brown Mustard. "Sorry, but we don't have brown mustard. We've got regular mustard or Thousand Island Dressing." I wasn't in the Northeast, but Northeastern Indiana. Oops. I told her to please bring yellow mustard. At least, the sandwich came on rye bread. She named off a long list of side items, of which the sandwich came with one. I ordered potato salad, thinking that the Swiss influence of the town might provide something interesting, and I had not had potato salad since my mum died. Hers, and her mother's, was amazing, even though I don't care for anything with mayonnaise. It didn't take too long until she brought the food to my table. I tried the potato salad--it was the most bland I'd had anywhere. It seemed to be potatoes (Yes, VP Quayle from Indiana, that is the spelling.), mayonnaise, and shredded carrots without a spice of any kind. The corned beef sandwich was much better with good meat (not from a can, I believe) and a thin slice of cheese. The bread was also good. The waitress checked on me once after that. After finishing, I went to the cash register to pay, and to get change for a tip. I once again got dating advice. Since it was slightly more than 24 hours into my day, I think I walked away as he was talking, to deliver the tip to the table, and I then exited. I think if I return, I'd make different selections, or at least, take some brown mustard with me--and take someone else with me, maybe a huge group of people. :-D

    Wife, kid and I went 4 a meal. Had an" All You Can Eat Chicken/Fish Night" This place once was named Parkway and was a happening place. Breakfasts were served all day, seats were hard to find & if you were from Berne and weren't here you were either sick or out of town. Progress has brought in a new Owner, a BIG up grade on the interior and higher prices. The fish were paperthin pieces of fish w/a lot of batter. The Chicken was below average, sent breasts back because they were raw. Needed some serious TLC in the batter. Not as good as KFC. waitress/Cook had an arguement & yelled @ each other, always nice. French Fries were average, I prayed they weren't the ones I saw@ Wal-Mart clearance rack. Rumor on Street is that place is going back to the Old Way,Home StyleCooked Meals like Grandma would be proud to make, if it does I'll be back...if not the doors will be closed.

    Fish- "ham loaf" (very weird) hard mashed potatoes and dried out Mac n cheese.

Hubby wanted to eat lighter, so ordered the peppers, onions, and sausage appetizers simmered in red sauce. The portion was huge and definitely enough for his main entree. Another of our party ordered spaghetti and meatballs side, which he also enjoyed and was a huge portion. We loved the hot breadsticks. The only down side is that my daughter's entree was late. The server told us that the kitchen had pretty much just spaced it and didn't start making her food with the rest of our order. She did not receive her entrée until all of the rest of us were completely finished eating. Well, we were good natured about it and didn't create a fuss or complain or asked to talk to a manager,, but Salvatori's also didn't take the initiative to offer any additional words of explanation, apology, or even a coupon off our next visit. My daughter's entrée came out so hot, that the ceramic plate was actually steaming. Ordinarily that is not a bad thing if she would receive her order at the same time as everyone else.. She felt so awkward about having to wait until it cools off before she can eat, and knowing that all the rest of us were finished and waiting on her that she just pretty much asked for a box and packed it up to take it home. That was a bit of a bummer.

Erin was super friendly but this visit was plagued by mumbling and incorrect direction. This was not Erin's fault. One of our diners is super special. He can eat cheese but only Mozzarella. The way it was directed to Erin was not right and in doing so, his salad had ricotta on it which means it needed to go back and have another salad made. The attention to the table was great by Erin but as the night went on, the lack of lighting and increase of bugs made our dinner experience less than enjoyable. Add to that our special picky eater and overall it was a miss of a visit. I would totally go back to Iozzo's with my wife as a date night in the dinning room and not the courtyard. The dining room was well light and had a such a different vibe. The interior vibe was romantic and magical. There is no slight to the courtyard or to Erin, but having a group of four for a business dinner and having the one of the most delicate diners in our group was not ideal. While I did not have the martini meatball, I did see it at a table service in the dining room and looked amazing. My bruschetta was very good. Another diner really enjoyed his gnocchi with steak,

It's located in a strip mall that looks a bit run down. But once you enter the outside door, everything changes. This location has a more intimate vibe to it. Lower lighting and a quieter mood. We were seated in the bar area but it was quiet since it was middle of the day and the bar was empty. Our server, Linda, did something I've never had happen before. She asked our names and proceeded to address us by them the entire visit. She had a great personality and made for a great experience. I'm a huge Mama Daphne fan as is my husband. But we wanted something different. We ordered bosco sticks for the app and husband ordered the spicy Italian meat calzone and I opted for the Papa Petro, a flatbread sandwich with pesto mayo and several Italian meats. We were impressed with both but the Papa Petro won out. Very tasty. Mama Daphne has some competition now. This location is the only location that doesn't serve pizza. They defer to the Marco's pizza location two doors down. So if you want pizza at Salvatori's, skip this location. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend! Will be back!

The food was outstanding, I ordered Linguine Frutti di Mare- homemade linguine ( delicious) served with clams, mussels, scallops? Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, evoo, garluc, parsley cooked in a white wine sauce!!! As you can see I absolutely hated it... lol! I has an expression and lava cake for dessert. The lava cake was a little overcooked- that is the only complaint.... Other than the lady sitting across the table from me that talked loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear her conversation. I wish people would be more observant and realize they don't have to talk so loud when they're sitting at their table it made it difficult to hear the piano player and it went from a relaxing stress free feeling to an annoyance. I was so happy when her food arrived. This place is very special. It's very small. I got in because it was very early in the evening. I believe their doors open at 5 o'clock. I would highly recommend reservations, but if you have a special occasion that you're celebrating, and it appeared that several people did this is worth the drive!

The rest of the meal was outstanding including the calamari/shrimp appetizer, Caesar salad, and the caprese salad. We already talked about going back to try other main courses. They had 3 options for nonalcoholic mocktails/drinks so that would be an improvement they could make especially for the non drinkers that would still like a NA wine pairing with a nice Italian dinner. You can bring your own with a $15 corking fee. The ambience was relaxing and romantic. They had orchestral music of popular songs so it was fun guessing what songs they were. There was a piano in the center of the restaurant and the mood lighting made the place seem even more cozy.
