Makes plenty of leftovers, but it doesn't reheat well since the sauce breaks. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was also good, but not much chicken in it. They give you a quarter of a loaf of bread, which is huge! Calamari was good, they come with the tentacles and the sauce is fantastic. The desserts were the failures. The key lime pie, which I was told was made in house, was incredibly tart. I've had a lot of key lime pie in my life and that was the worst one I've ever had. The creme brûlée was better, but the presentation made it unappealing. The custard was oozing out from under the caramelized top.

I went here to get away from all the seafood fare of New England, hoping for some good 'ol Italian…read more Well, I did get Italian - kind of. It's very new agey and different for the sake of being different. But, the pasta was delicious and high quality! The place has a major attitude problem, though. The aesthetics are off-putting and attract a crowd of the worst types of people. Had to listen to nothing but whiny spite and anger my entire meal from multiple groups of guests. The waiter was the worst aspect, though. I didn't even know he worked there when he approached me. He was dressed down more than a lot of homeless people I've seen. He also shared that same attitude of the guests and made my business feel like an inconvenience the entire time, having the nerve to expect a tip for bringing my food out to me, which I would have just done myself to avoid him. I can recommend carryout, if you absolutely have to have some pasta in this area, but not eating in, and don't get anything that seems weird on the menu.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-This place is FANTASTIC. The most amazing…read morething about this restaurant is that they ran it with 3 servers, a hostess, food runner and a bartender-no one was stressed in the slightest. Timing was perfect, drinks were delicious, food was flawless-a perfect 10. I wish we had longer here because we would go back in a hot second. This is truly a very very special place.

Highly recommended! So glad we read other positive reviews and found this place…read more Make a reservation!! We were seated immediately . Very attentive staff. Food and drinks came out quickly even though the place was pretty crowded. The bread platter with roasted garlic and herb butter to start. The shrimp cocktail was one of the best.

We shared a few dishes at Saluti that were all pretty good. I tried the vodka penne as the waitress…read morerecommended it as one of their staples and I was not disappointed. I would recommend adding the optional shrimp to this dish. We had a lot of food overall with their portions and ended up with some nice leftovers. We also tried the seafood pasta. They did not skimp on the seafood but at the same time, the little sea scallops weren't as flavorful as expected and it was a bit strange how all of the shell fish was still in their shells. It made it a bit harder to eat it with the spaghetti. We also had a shared Caesar salad which we enjoyed. My son got the kid's steak and fries meal which was surprisingly huge for a kid's meal. Overall the food here was pretty rich and pretty good and if I could give this four and a half stars I would.

A total great experience!!…read more Welcomed upon arrival and seated promptly with a reservation (suggested). Welcoming decor and staff was friendly throughout visit. The food! Meatball appetizer, big and rich in flavor with meatballs not too soft or hard. Great with warm bread that was provided. Main course was beyond big and easily two meals on each platting. Chicken parm was tender and nicely seasoned with pasta side. I had a special of peppers and onions in a spicy red sauce with crumbled sausage and bucatini as the pasta. It was cooked well and had a nice warm spice, but not over powering heat, easily two meals. Drink prices were market priced with a wine $ 8.00 for a good pour. Server was personable and attentive throughout our visit. It would appear the kitchen is small and staffed accordingly. I hear they limit take out orders when very busy and best to call ahead for complete info on a weekend. Overall great experience and will visit again.

It's a simple Italian restaurant…read more They're very busy and the kitchen closes regardless how many people they have. Dinner service ends when they say. It's a big open room with a moderately sized and full-service bar. The food is well-made traditional Italian with generous portions. We've tried a lot of the menu and haven't been disappointed. The meatballs are great. The wait staff are attentive, conscientious and clearly care about your experience. This is a family place, but dress appropriately and only bring your kids if they're well behaved. This isn't a place for unruly toddlers or crying babies. Make a reservation a few days in advance and show up 15-20 minutes early. You'll be happy you did and happy you came here.

My salad arrived promptly but then we waited for more than 15 minutes and two reminders for my husband's salad. We also ordered bread which never arrived even after several reminders until the end of the meal. Additionally, the waitstaff kept changing. So when someone did come by it was usually not the same person twice. My chicken saltimbocca was quite salty and the noodles appeared to be prepackaged. Salt was the only spice I could taste. I also somehow got a warm side salad which was soggy on my plate after I already ate the previous side salad. My husband ordered the eggplant Parmesan. He said it was average but nothing to write home about. It's too bad that the food and service weren't better because the atmosphere was pleasant inside the restaurant.

I ate here last week while in town for the Belmont, and frankly, I don't see why or how this place…read morehas the reputation it does, because it is not what I would consider a particularly high quality Italian restaurant. And FYI, I was in the food/hospitality business for more than 20 years, and I have also been to Italy and had genuine Italian cuisine. First, the pros: portion sizes are quite large, and priced reasonably for the size of them, and the main entree in itself was good; I had plenty left for dinner the following night. Service was decent but not exceptional. Cons: the pasta that came with my roasted eggplant was definitely not made in house, as I would expect from an Italian restaurant of this reputation, and was also quite overcooked, to the point of being almost mushy. And their supposedly famous marinara sauce was thin and rather watery--although some of that could be from the pasta not being well drained--, with no distinquishable flavor. But what for me was the final tip-off that this was not a quality Italian restaurant was when the waiter brought the requested parmesan cheese: it was your run-of-the-mill cheap stuff in a generic shaker, something they probably buy in large tubs. I would have expected the waiter to bring over a chunk of REAL parmesan-reggiano cheese, and grate it to order over the food. Frankly, I made a much better Italian meal for friends just a couple weeks prior to this.

Their old fashioned yet charming interior, has a relaxed vibe that has you looking forward to a good meal. Upon entering, I was immediately shown to a table by their friendly and welcoming staff. I enjoyed my warm crusty bread with herb butter as I looked over their menu. It was not an easy decision, as I was interested in many of their dishes. I decided on a meatball marinara appetizer and their lasagna which was made from their recipe that's over a 100 years old. Also ,their roasted eggplant with red pepper, ricotta, spinach and pesto and marinara baked with mozzarella over linguine. Their portions are generous and if I were really truthful, I did overindulge in another helping of bread. It's a necessary vehicle, to sop up good marinara sauce when the opportunity presents itself. I almost forgot to mention, that their house salad really hit the spot. My leftovers became an excellent lunch the next day. My only regret was that I didn't have room for dessert. This is a good excuse as any to go back there to try their other dishes all while making another attempt at having dessert!
