    Manicotti with meat sauce full order.
    Theresa J.

    Ok, hear me out, my husband talked about this place all week when he knew we would be driving through Ft. Wayne. So it was being held at a very high standard for the other three who had not been there. It did not disappoint. The bread sticks were nicely cooked, airy with holes in the middle and choice of sauces. Manicotti with meat sauce, fettuccine Alfredo add chicken, spaghetti and meatballs and a small pizza were all delicious. They do have a gluten free option. Single bathroom that can accommodate a wheelchair but likely not a large enough turning radius. It is attached to a gas station so that would be alternative option. Sangria was on par, not too sweet. Server's are all experienced and very nice. Management checked on table to insure food was good. Full size portions are enormous. We definitely have left overs.

    Unexpectedly cute bistro!

    Don't judge a book by its cover. Yes, this little family-friendly Italian eatery is located in a truck stop/gas station - but their Italian food and house-made desserts are legit! Daughter and I stopped on our way from northern Columbus to Fort Wayne. I filled up the car with gas and she got hungry - so we took a chance and went inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whoa, it smelled great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly and menu looked terrific. Kiddo had fettuccine Alfredo - the best she's ever had, she said, and she orders that all over the world. We also got their "cinnamon roll" which is basically a Stromboli filled with cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. Made fresh to order, it blew our minds. Don't miss out on Salvatori's if you're ever in the area!

    America is the only place where you can find decent, wholesome, homemade food in a gas station. Yep.. Italian in a gas station. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cozy, small place has all the authentic dishes you know and love, with a 5 star wait staff and the owner walking around talking to people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The real score is 4.5. The pizza was fantastic but the crust wasn't as firm as I like. But don't let that stop you! I highly recommend Salvatori's.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a tiny restaurant as part of a truck stop. Tiny, and extremely busy on a Friday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted by the owner and directed to the only empty booth. Wait service was prompt. As Italian goes, it is definitely Americanized Italian. My wife had the Basilicata which was quite good, with excellent sausage and a nice sauce. A half-portion was plenty large enough. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and to be perfectly honest, it was barely adequate. The sauce left a lot to be desired. The breadsticks were good.

    Ok, first things first. It is right off the highway, shares a wall with a Taco Bell and next to a gas station. Full stop. If you keep reading or stop, you will do yourself a favor. Thanks other Yelpers. It was a rainy Friday night, nearing the end of a long road trip and we were cranky and hungry and despite the reservations in the first paragraph, decided to give it a shot. Really a great meal. It is the original location of which is now 7-8 other locations in greater Ft Wayne. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is cozy and cute inside but small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Short wait for a table (we called ahead which helped and was appreciated). Started with Bosco Sticks which was a cross between bread sticks and fried mozzarella. Choice of 4 dipping sauces. Delicious. Our party of 4 sampled the menu - chicken Marsala special for me, a spaghetti supreme, pasta apuilia and a white pizza. Everything was great and HUGE portions. 2 got the "small" Which they couldn't finish. The large is only like $2 more. Authentic cannolis for dessert. Limited beer and wine menu. Friendly and attentive service and food came out quickly. The only reason why I hold back from 5 stars was that this was not "to die for" Italian food or super creative. But a very solid choice and so glad we stopped.

    Best Italian I've had in a long time! Great costumer service highly recommend ! I try something new every time I stop here have yet to be disappointed

    Lasagna

    The lasagna was absolutely amazing and delicious!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is old school Italian decor which was only beat out by the aroma of the kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My waitress recommended the lasagna and it was very hot when she served me!!!! Definitely a return trip to this restaurant.... not your typical location.... It is nestled in next to a gas station but you can fill up your car too I did get dessert but haven't had it yet

    Cinnamon roll
    Pam H.

    Amazing! Don't be fooled by the location (attached to a gas station). This place is legit. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable (although small so not a ton of seating). The food is wonderful. We enjoyed the breadsticks and three meat cuscino as appetizers. The breadsticks were delicious, especially with the homemade alfredo. The meatball was good - too much meat for me but everyone else loved it. I had the spinach and mushroom ravioli which was fabulous. Tons of fresh spinach, tender mushrooms and a decadent white sauce. I didn't get dessert but my dining partners gave the cheesecake 2 thumbs up, and they said the cinnamon roll was incredible. Fantastic find well worth a return visit.

    calzone
    Brad H.

    Third time I've stopped at Salvatori's on my way to or from a soccer game in Michigan, and this place never disappoints! The food is always amazing and the atmosphere cozy. On this visit we split a loaded calzone with marinara for dipping. It was cheesy, full of meat, sauce and veggies and super filling. We also split a small house salad - it was so full it spilled over the bowl! Finally we got one of their decadent cinnamon rolls to go - perfect with a cup of coffee later in our hotel room. Don't let the gas station location fool you - Salvatori's is the real deal.

    Sausage mushroom bacon small pizza well done.

    ARE YOU SERIOUS? The Sunoco Gas Station at exit 19 on I469 in Ft Wayne Indiana, across street from the Flyin J Truckstop has "Authentic Italian Food"! What???????????? Who would have thunk it? Not just authentic, but, BOMB DOT COM Good! Incredibly good small thin crust pizza that is probably one of my top 5 and a spicy cajun rigatoni in a creamy Alfredo sauce that was seriously so good! The first thing that dawned on me was how good it was and it is located in gas station. 2.5hrs from my house and I stumbled upon this as I was near ft Wayne Indiana. Elle was an amazing waitress so please go see her, she told us exactly what to get. A small little place with maybe 10-12 parking spots that are probably meant for gas station guests but don't let that detour you! You will not regret this. It's worth a long drive to experience it. Wow!!

    Salvatori's (Washington Center Road) - mixing up my local Italian food choices…read more Fort Wayne is blessed with many local Italian restaurants. Each a bit different with their own flare. On this occasion we picked Salvatori's on Washington Center Road. We've always had an easy time getting a table here as the restaurant is fairly large. The staff is very friendly and helps each other out. Wyatt did a great job on this occasion. The restaurant was clean and orderly. My wife really liked the chef salad. Very fresh with lots of meats and side veggies. A very attractive dish also. The house dressing is light, slightly sweet and has a nice oil based taste. Side house salads are very tasty and fresh as well. Lots of side veggies and cheese packed into this over flowing bowl. The Frutti di Mare is a weekly special only. The linguini was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The red sauce had a nice tomato with Italian seasoning/oil taste. Often this sauce can be very spicy. This dish was not spicy nor did it sacrifice flavor. There were lots of mussels - which don't have much meat. There really wasn't much shrimp or calamari included. The fish was tender and flakey.

Service is great excellent; it's clear that folks here care. They really paid attention to the details. I'd say this is a good spot for a special occasion or a regular night out. Prices are reasonable -- especially considering the humongous portions. Also, I appreciated that they kept takeout orders in a warmer. My food was still warm when I got back to my hotel.

    TLDR; highlights - rotisserie chicken…read more- dessert menu - limoncello - fresh seafood This was my first time visiting Casa, and as an Italian American raised around traditional foods, I *need* to go back. The first step through the door felt like Thanksgiving to me.. the low hum of chatter as families talked amongst each other, clinking of glasses as people said 'cheers!' and the immediate sight and scent of home-cooked food. Their slow-roasting rotisserie chicken filled the air as we were being sat and seeing them turn over and over in the open ovens had me drooling before I could even ask for water. Because we're in a landlocked state, I always order seafood whenever I catch it on the menu.. but choosing the Fettucine Tutto Mare instead of the Rotisserie Chicken entree has now filled me with a severe case of FOMO. I was impressed with how fresh the crabmeat, mussels and clams were in my dish and it reminded me of my late uncle (who would always demand we go to a restaurant with clam linguine). Paired with the Limoncello Spritzer, it truly felt like I was back home with my family. The dessert menu was filled with a lot of my personal favorites, like tiramisu, but I was too full to order any (which, truthfully, isn't a bad problem to have). But I'm thinking we'll start my next visit to Casa with dessert first... then maybe finish off with a rotisserie chicken

The staff here was very friendly and helpful for us first timers. pasta di Guy is a step up from mall food and a step below an Italian dine in restaurant that specializes in Italian food. It's not Fazoli's...but it's not Casa's, Ziano's or Salvatori's either. We started with the breadsticks. You basically get two 6" sticks for $2. The bread was soft on the inside and has a slight crunch/crisp on the outside. There was a slight butter and garlic taste to the outside. Overall...okay. Only six inches of breadstick left you wanting more. My wife really liked her Caprese Wrap. This mirrored the Caprese salad quite a bit. The salad was fresh with plenty of arugula. The balsamic vinegar drizzle was very tasty - dark and rich. The tomatoes were foreshadowing like the cheese and lettuce. The cheese had a nice mild taste but I found it very difficult to cut. The salad bowl shape makes it difficult to eat the beautifully presented cheese, tomatoes and drizzle without cutting them into pieces. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. I love spaghetti and meatballs and get this about every where I go. This entree ran about $13 for a medium portion of pasta. There were five small meatballs in the dish. I found the pasta to be perfectly cooked. Easily cut with the plastic knife and tasty. There was not enough marinara sauce to accent the dish. It was thin in volume and made it difficult to bring out good Italian flavors. There wasn't enough Parmesan cheese to give the sauce some added flavor. However they will give you as many packets of cheese as you like. The meatballs were moist and cooked about right to give them some firmness. They weren't out of the Hormel meatball bag...however they didn't have much spice to give it more flavor. I was pleased that I could cut them into lots of pieces and have a bit of meatball with most bits of pasta.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by two hosts who were both very pleasant. We were seated immediately and accommodated our request to sit near the bar. The ambiance is absolutely striking. While chic and polished, the interior also gives off elegant Caesars Palace-inspired design vibes--grand, dramatic, and visually captivating. The bar setup is truly breathtaking and instantly draws you in, making it a perfect spot for a date night or celebratory evening. Our server, Dawn, truly made the night exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. We ordered the lasagna and the salmon with potatoes and spinach--both dishes were beautifully seasoned and full of flavor. The drinks were just as impressive. We enjoyed Uncle Nearest Nearest (which came with an ice cube stamped with an "A"--such a great attention to detail), a Luxy Lady, and prosecco--everything was a hit. I've seen a few comments about portion sizes, but we felt they were perfectly aligned with what you'd expect from an upscale restaurant--satisfying without being overwhelming. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars was due to the manager (or who I assume was the manager). He stood nearby for long periods without engaging with guests--no greeting, no smile--just an uncomfortable, awkward presence that felt a bit like being stared at. Most managers on the floor interact with guests, so this stood out. Aside from that, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning in the future.

    Amore - gourmet Italian in a fine dining atmosphere…read more Amore is not for everyone. It is expensive and the portion sizes are smaller relative to the entree cost. Slow paced-finer dining is not everyone's cup of tea. However, these are things that I enjoy and I chose to celebrate my birthday at Amore! Amore is located on the renovated Pearl Street. This has been an amazing transformation for those of us that remember the days when Pearl Street wasn't a family friendly destination. You may park free on the street or free in the large parking lot west of the restaurant. Making reservations is very easy via the website. I would definitely encourage you to make reservations if you want to eat during the prime dinner hours. The host and wait staff are professional and very friendly. The facility is beautifully decorated in a modern decor. The large bar and bottle rack is very attractive. You will find the seating to be very comfortable. The table linen, dishes and glassware complement the whole atmosphere. At least I feel all these things set the foundation for an excellent dining experience. Dining at Amore was about a two hour, relaxed and enjoyable experience. We started the night with the small focaccia bread. The bread comes cut into tall cubes that can be pulled apart and dipped in the Parmesan sauce. The crust is a bit tough with a soft inner breading. It has a classical Italian bread flavor. The olive oil dip has a thick bed of Parmesan at the bottom. Thick enough that you need to use the spoon to apply the delicious mixture to the bread. Definitely a must get!! The small size is perfect for two people. My wife ordered the mushroom ragú campanelle pasta dish. The pasta is made on site into a special "cone" shape. It is perfectly cooked to a firm but tender consistency. The mushrooms tasted very fresh and comprised a thinner sauce. The sauce had a bit of that mushroom-beef taste along with a moderate amount of Romano cheese taste. This dish was topped with an innovative cashew ricotta cheese dollop. The ricotta accented the noodles, mushrooms, Romano sauce nicely with a slight hint of cashews. Excellent dish! I went with the meat lasagna. The homemade noodles were very thin - perhaps 1/2 the thickness of a normal lasagna noodle. This made the dish lighter and moist. The noodles were perfectly cooked and layered with a bed of beef, pork and cheese. The mixture, while prominent, didn't over power the noodles. The lasagna was surrounded by a moat of white wine crème sauce. I was a little skeptical of this as it isn't usual. The white sauce was very smooth with a moderately thick consistency. It adds more moisture to the baked noodles and pulled out the meat and cheese mixture tastes. Another outstanding dish! Amore made the birthday dinner special with a complimentary personalized birthday card and chocolate lava cake. The card was individually signed by many members of the team - never seen that in my years of dinning out! The lava cake is not to be out done! The cake was firm on the outside but moist and warm on the inside. The cake had a rich chocolate taste. It came with a lava sauce baked inside and a container of extra sauce to pour over the top. That sauce had a more mild chocolate taste but still delicious. It also came with a small cup of olive oil gelato creme. That was light and thin such that it flowed over the inviting cake. The gelato provided an ice creme appeal without piling on more sugar or dairy. We definitely recommend the lava cake!! Overall, Amore met exceeded my birthday expectations. The food was creative and delicious! The team made us feel welcomed and served us professionally and well. The atmosphere helps make your two hour dining experience enjoyable.
