    My husband and I tried this tonight for the first time. It was busy, but not too loud. We had great service- very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We had a difficult time deciding what to try, so over ordered but enjoyed it all and brought lots of leftovers home!

    ------ Critics Review ------ Amazing! Go! Impeccably high-end trained staff and a real chef (Ali) who knows what's she is doing!! This place needs to be in the hot spots of Dallas - it's that good! So I walk I and a charming hostess who is well mannered greets me like I'm at The Mansion at Turtle Creek (Dallas). For an early 20's to be that refined and professional is unheard of. Now I'm at the table and another mid-20s is our waitress (Andrea). Impeccable service and highly trained. Immediately I know the owners of this place know what VIP customers expect. But wait!!! We are in the middle of nowhere - red neck fishermen land! We started at 5pm... and when we left at 7pm, the place was packed with people in line for tables. Impressive. Calamari: Herb seasoned and lightly battered - but the crust was crunchy, perfectly cooked, delicate meat and absolutely no rubber!! Delicate and incredible! The marinara is warm, perfectly seasoned balance of tomato and herbs. Hint of salt beautifully done. One of my favorites ever. Score: 10 out of 10 Shrimp Scampi: Obviously handmade pasta, perfectly seasoned and delicious sauce. Score: 9/10 Chicken Parmesan: Delicious. Great ratios of cheese to chicken. Ask for double sauce (not enough for the size of the dish). Chicken is pounded a bit too thin yielding a tad more dense protein - but still nice. (Could be 30% thicker which would increase the chicken flavor ratio.) Score: 8.5/10 Fettuccine Alfredo: Excellent. Well made with all the right ratios of what you expect. (Always ask for double sauce for a better dish.) Score: 9.5/10 Overall: 5/5 Go!!

    The Hubs and I got reservations for our anniversary. I definitely recommend getting reservations if it is on the weekend as all the tables were filled throughout the evening. We were seated right away and also greeted right away. We ordered drinks off the holiday menu, I got a cranberry spritz with limoncello. That was absolutely delicious and my husband loved his apple butter old-fashioned. The appetizers looked amazing but we didn't try this time so we would have room for dessert. I definitely want to go back and try the focaccia and the Arancini. We got Caesar salad salads, and for dinner we had the shrimp scampi with added artichokes and the sausage penne with peppers. We loved it! We shared the tiramisu for dessert with coffee and it was perfect! We are already planting our return trip. It is such a cute place with delicious food and great service!

    We were very pleased with the food here! I love you can substitute your pasta for gluten free. I will say the gluten free pasta isn't the best but very nice they have it.

    Cute spot for a little Italian date night! A nice gem off 380, for sure. Greeting and service (shout out to Oscar) was prompt, everyone was very attentive to their tables from what I observed, and the food was delicious! Plenty of seating when we arrived around dinner time on a Thursday night it did start to fill up) and they have an outdoor patio section if you want to sit outside. We tried the house made foccacia bread 5/5- bread is a must to start before an Italian dinner! I love a good flavorful carb, calamari-crispy, but the marinara sauce here is super thick imo.. I did I enjoy the second sauce a lot more, they accompany the calamari with marinara and a refreshing citrus herb flavored dip, that was tasty 4/5, lobster ravioli 3/5-again sauce was pretty thick and this time it was the pink sauce, pink sauce had great flavor, but I felt the lobster lacked in flavor (as a New England girl, my lobster standard is pretty high) so the dish was just meh to me..Chicken parm with upgraded pink sauce (thick)-chicken was moist!! a great portion size, pasta was well cooked 4/5, and tiramisu 5/5- authentic flavor-must try!! I would come back here again.

    The Mother's Day brunch was a delight. I ordered the Sausage, egg and cheese pizza Delicious! So large took home half. Dad ordered the Canoli French toast really hefty serving as well. He brought home 1/2 of his. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Picotta, it's her favorite an as usual it was great. Oh, did I mention $4 dollar mimosa's we had quite a few of those as well. When were here it feels like family. Be sure to check them out for yourself. The food was delicious, drinks ample and the service wonderful. Great open air seatings welcoming to all. I had the lobster ravioli win Vodka sauce. Not usually a fan of vodka sauce however this stuff is like nothing I have ever tasted. We have traveled the world eaten in some of the finest restaurants and man are we happy that they are just a few blocks from our home.

    I really wanted to love this place, but I just cannot and here's why: Although I loved the…read moreconversation with the bartender, while awaiting my to-go order, I wasn't impressed with his black dyed fingernail color. This wasn't black polish, but whatever it was it looked scary, and not hygienic! The mushroom Alfredo pasta was just okay! The large oversized sliced portobello mushrooms thrown on top of the pasta just didn't present well, and not to mention that my salad had a piece of black hair in it...by the way my hair is blonde. When it comes to food, presentation is everything, even down to the person serving you your food and drinks. I know we live in a society where, sadly, it seems like anything goes, but I think restaurants need to maintain higher standards than a fast food place. Don't get me wrong, even fast food places should do the same! Final note: I just can't get over being served by Dracula, even though he was very nice!

    Salute is puro amore--an elegant Italian gem done impeccably right. From the moment you arrive,…read moreSalute sets the tone with warm, smiling hosts who make you feel instantly welcomed. The atmosphere is bellissimo--luxurious yet relaxed, with chic décor and whimsical touches like sculptural trees and delicate birds that add unexpected charm. The menu is consistently excellent. Standouts include the Pappardelle Bolognese, rich and unforgettable. I also love their perfectly prepared sea bass. The bruschetta is delicious too. The Caesar salad is simple, fresh, and impeccably done. Make sure you save room for dolci--the dessert bar in the back is both stunning and indulgent. The bar is equally impressive. Troy, the bartender, is knowledgeable and engaging, delivering cocktails with true arte. Service throughout is polished and genuinely gracious that keeps guests coming back. Antonio is a fun, personable and attentive. Super! Salute isn't just a great restaurant--it's a ristorante you'll crave. Elegant, welcoming, and memorable. You must go and buon appetito!
