That being said, I ordered the baked tortellini, which came with some garlic bread and a side salad. I didn't try the salad due to the recent outbreak, but the garlic bread was delicious and the tortellini was alright, but very cheesy. They use their own delivery drivers, so it didn't show up on the grubhub app, but I called to make sure the order went through and they were very helpful on the phone.

The restaurant doesn't have a full bar, but they do serve beer and wine. My friend and I who love Italian food decided to go try it out today. As soon as we entered the door we were warmly welcomed and greeted by a friendly young lady who to us to our booth and handed us the menus. The dining room was very clean and decorated with cute yet elegant Italian artworks on the walls. The menu was very extensive and contained popular items such as homemade lasagna, pizza, Philly cheese steak subs, and unique Italian dinners. . Our server, another very welcoming young lady with a big smile came by and took our order. Although most of the customers there were sharing a pizza, and they looked so delicious, we both decided to have the Stromboli with the works. Believe it or not, I think this was the first time that I had ever had Stromboli at an Italian restaurant. To drink we both had Cokes. When the food arrived, the Strombolis looked so fresh and delicious on the outside, and in the inside it contained fresh quality ingredients such as Mozzarella, Green Peppers, Onions, Pepperoni, Sausage & Mushrooms. I was very impressed with its homemade dough and real Mozzarella cheese. The Peperoni, Sausage, and all the other ingredients were also quality products. Our server came to check on us at the appropriate times and provided us with some refills for our drinks. They had some good Italian desserts on the menu as well, but we already had planned to have dessert at another place. Everything was so good, that even though we hadn't finish eating yet, I already was looking forward to try one of their pizzas or unique Italian dinners. I also found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of their food. I highly recommend this place to all those who love Italian cuisine, and I heard they are currently in the process of expanding.

I can't find the words to begin to describe my dining experience at this Italian restaurant. It is…read moreone of those very unique restaurants that far exceeds the highest of your expectations. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Sal's Italian Restaurant in the Bonsack area of Roanoke, Virginia is a perfect example. Located at the Kroger Bonsack Shopping Center, it sits just off US-460/Orange Ave East, in the northeastern part of the Roanoke Valley. Locally-owned and operated by the Scotto family, who originally came from Italy, this unasuming yet award-winning restaurant serves authentic, homemade Italian food in a warm, family-friendly entertainment, offering dine-in, dine-out (in its beautiful outdoor patio), take-out, and catering services. After arriving and parking my pearl white Lexus in their very convenient parking lot, I walked over to the restaurant which had colorful balloons near the entrance with a sidewalk blackboard announcing its Sit Down Buffet (Mon - Fri), all you can eat from a group of items, brought to your table. All for $14.99. I've always dreamed of having a buffet where you wouldn't have to get up, and here they had it. Once inside, they had a small foyer/waiting room, with the walls filled with framed Award Certificates, together with magazine and newspaper articles about the restaurant, its genuine food, and its local family ownership. As I entered through another door to the restaurant itself, one of the sons of the founder of the restaurant (who passed away on July 3rd, nine years ago) gave me a warm greeting, took me to one of the booths, and placed copies of the menu on the table. The background music gave the place a festive ambiance together with the oak hardwood floor and well lit dining room. Soon after, my server Ashley arrived with a friendly smile, to take my order. To drink I ordered an Iced Rootbeer. And to dine, I started out with a Fried Calamari appetizer; followed by a house salad, Italian garlic bread, and as the main entrée their Homemade Meat Lasagna. The fried Calamari was lightly breaded and fried so you could actually taste the fresh Calamari after dipping it in the mild marinara sauce. One of the best I've ever had! The house salad was good but only had one cherry tomato and one slice of cucumber. The tomato based salad dressing was amazing. Their Italian Garlic Bread tasted wonderful. And their Homemade Lasagna was truly one of the best if not the best I've ever had. The pasta was freshly made. The ground beef was perfectly seasoned. The tomato sauce was just the right flavor. And the cheese which covered it helped make it amazingly delicious, like none that I ever had before! My server served all the items at the appropriate time and provided drink refills every time my drink was low. For dessert, the "Grand Finale" of my meal, my server brought a large round tray, with all the desserts so I could visually see them as she described them. I picked the Chocolate Bomba: a vanilla and chocolate premium ice cream ball with a cherry inside and surrounded by a chocolate shell. It was really something extraordinary and sweet. But what was greatest of all was the human touch by this family-owned restaurant. The wife of the late founder of the restaurant as well as her other son and chef made it a point to come to my table to say hi, introduce themselves, and have a short but meaningful conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant where I had an extraordinary dining experience and am already looking forward to returning to taste some other amazing items from their menu.

An old school eatery, pretty basic on the inside, nothing fancy just good food and kind service. We started with the Burschetta Napoletana appetizer. It was a traditional style serving.

They had Oysters Rockerfeller on the special menu the night of our visit, so we had to give them a try. They were again very traditional, well made and flavorful.

Conveniently located near Tanglewood Mall, this seems like the perfect spot for a pizza restaurant in the area. The owner, Alfonso Greco, and his wife and co-owner, Josephine, immigrated in 1986 from Calabria, Italy to Long Island, New York, and for over 40 years have been in the pizza business in New York, Miami, North Carolina, and now in Roanoke, Virginia, where they came to be closer with their family. In North Carolina, Greco currently owns three locations of his pizza shop, Franco's. Today, as I was driving by West Village, I noticed that the pizza shop that had been in preparation for its grand opening, was finally open. So I quickly made a U turn and went to try it out. Located at a corner location of the building that also houses Café Asia 2, one of my favorites Asian restaurants, it has a beautiful and very impressive outdoor sign, high above its entrance. Inside, it has the traditional counter with the ordering area up front, the pizza making counter on the side, and the kitchen in the back, where they have the oven, and also cook their appetizers and other Italian dishes such as their Homemade Lasagna, Eggplant Parmigiana, and Fettuccine Alfredo, just to name a few. Their dining area consists of tables and chairs (no booths) and some extra-large poster prints as well as some smaller framed photographs. Their staff were all very friendly, starting from the owners themselves, who have done the perfect job of bringing the Italian hospitality into the ambiance of this cozy restaurant. I was asked to have a seat at any table and my friendly server shortly came by with a copy of the menu and to take my drink order. I ordered a Dr Pepper and my server also brought me a glass of ice to go with it. To dine I started with the Fried Calamari appetizer. The Calamari slices were from large-size Calamari with a very thick and crispy batter, and they were served with a homemade special sauce that was amazingly delicious. As my main course I ordered a Personal Franco's Special New York Style Pizza. It had all the ingredients listed on the menu, but it also included some red peppers, that gave it lots of flavor. The dough was freshly made in-house and had the right consistency. The only thing I didn't like was that the bottom of the pizza was a bit burnt, but other than that, it tasted delicious with all those fresh, quality, ingredients. Even though the wait time was a bit long, it is understandable since they are new to open and have been inundated with customers due to their novelty. For dessert I had the Tiramisu. My server confessed that they bring it in from the outside and that the Cannoli is the only one they make in-house. Even so, I found the Tiramisu tasted delicious, almost like home made. In conclusion, I like this pizza place, and the friendly and hospitable staff and owners make me want to support them even better. While the slow service and burnt pizza bottom are areas for improvement, I wish them the very best and encourage you to give them your full support.
