We skip the dining room, and eat in the bar. My favorite is the lasagna, (request a garlic knot) with it. The regular pizza is good too, and the minestrone is homemade and delicious! Monday night is currently a pasta special, and Tuesday the special is a wet burrito that is the best I've had. The staff is always great--a hard working bunch! The TVs in the sports bar area are older projection-type and invariably too loud. We try to avoid big game nights for that reason. There is a lot to like here. read more

Ordered again, to see if something improved. It didn't. The portions are small - a fair amount of pasta, but 5 measly shrimp!!! I got takeout- the Scampi sauce dripped all over the bag. If you want to overpay for moderate food, this is the place. read more

All the food was delicious according the kids. We had these fried pillow puff breadsticks bites that were so good. Burgers were both very tasty and more than enough to eat. Pizza was a great size for kids. Hubby enjoyed his Stromboli. Definitely try them out if you're in the area. Great atmosphere and you can pick bar or dining side. If you are craving Italian food this is a place to go to. read more

This was our first visit to Salvino's. They have a dining side and a bar side. The bar side had plenty of TVs for watching the games and was a nice clean setup. My son ordered boneless wings and I got Sal's big burger. They were both very good. The service was solid. We did wait for a spell to get a side of ranch for my son, but certainly wasn't a major issue. read more

The restaurant was clean and orderly. The TVs are nice for watching games. It's a basic pub restaurant. I've been here twice in two weeks and all of the help staff has been incredibly friendly and nice. The service at the bar is very quick. The meatballs were perfectly cooked. They looked beautiful. The sauce on the meatballs could have more flavor, it tasted like basic tomato paste. But the meatballs themselves were soft and had good flavor. I came back to this place because the wings were so good. I had the wings both times I was there. I often times criticize restaurants who serve tiny wings. But, These wings from Salvino's were good meaty wings. And now for the bad ... The nachos were a significant letdown! We paid for the chicken nachos in regrettably only found two or three tiny chopped pieces of chicken. We were all frustrated by the massive lettuce and onion salad that they put on top of the nachos. In fact, there was more salad on our nachos then there were chips. We had to ask our waitress to bring us two extra sides of cheese dip because the nachos did not have any significant cheese on them. In my hierarchy of nachos from a scale of 1-10. These nachos are definitely a scale one very poor nachos! Otherwise, we watched multiple plates come out for other people with beautifully decorated pizzas. I think this place could be a very big winner in terms of a pub. I hope they reconcile some better nachos here in the future. read more

The waitress I had Lauren N wasn't good only check on us 2 twice and then she gave herself a 10.00 tip on my card. Warning this resturant will protect their employees more and blame it on you she wrote over the zeros tip I left her and added 1 to make it look like I left her 10.00 when I didn't the total remained the same no change on the receipt. I explain that to their manager she still didn't believe me. This is a warning people check your receipt and bank accounts making sure you are charge right. Keep them because it's not okay for anyone to change their tips because they didn't like what they got. read more

Salads with slimy lettuce in them! DISCUSTING However when I showed our waitress the lettuce was not only wilted, but also too old to serve...it didn't go well. Have you ever bought a salad that had slimy lettuce in it? Ew, it's disgusting to bite into clammy, slimy, decaying lettuce...and the taste in your mouth doesn't go away!!! Waitress went to the back to let them know. (I thought I could eat the fruit on top, while waiting... When our bills came, I was charged full price! Wow! The manager comes to my table and says the can only give a 20% discount; even though I showed her the rotting lettuce. We had a discussion yet she would not budge on the price. She was told it would be on a restaurant review for Salvinos Restaurant in Plainwell/Otsego, Mi. Pitiful as well as shameful!!! read more

Just went to Salvinos in Plainwell with friends when we got our bill we noticed a charge listed as additional administration fee. When we inquired about the charge the waitress informed us that it is for their cost of doing business and that there was a sign on the entrance door. As we were leaving we seen the note on the door which explained that they are now charging a 3% fee to cover the fact that food costs have went up etc. and to cover their expense of doing business. I was taken aback because every business has a cost of doing business and expenses when you own a business I thought by paying for my food that I ordered off the menu was what covers their expense of doing business. This is very strange! read more

We ordered bone in and got boneless, which nothing is wrong with a mix up, it was how the waitress was a bit rude about it. We said we got bone in and she didn't even say anything just took it away... No sorry whatsoever, she barely came to our table too! She looked at our table and then walked away... we had two empty glasses and a sandwich that wasn't even touched... WE had to get her attention, and no it wasn't busy at all, she had one other table besides mine. I would call her out in this review but she didn't even tell us her name. Also... DONT get the Philly cheesesteak! I wouldn't even give it a homeless person! I would be committing a crime if I did... read more

Dined there for the first time last night. Our meals were very good, the waitress was very good. Enjoyed ourselves. Why the down rating? When we got the bill, there was an upcharge included with a brief blurb about the rising cost of everything! This shocked me, as there was no advance warning that our meal was going to be more expensive than what the menu said. As we left, I asked the gal at the front about it and she said she didn't know about it and referred me to their web site! Well, here I am and I don't see anything, tho I may be just missing it. But what the hell? This is really bad--if you're going to charge more for the meal, just raise your menu price and be upfront about it. You're being deceptive and, I don't know, maybe unlawful here. If you're going to add to my bill, at least post something at the table or add it to your menu and inform your staff what it's all about. Guess I should have asked for the manager but we were late for something else. It wasn't the amount, it was the principle of it! Buyer beware--before ordering, ask about what is going to be added to your bill. Too bad we won't be back as I said, it was an otherwise decent experience. read more

While visiting last night, I happened to experience quite a fall coming up their "Handicap", ramp, there was a ridge though it was highlighted.It wasn't expected to be that big. Poorly accessible. Many workers saw what happened 1 or 2 even held a door and not a one acknowledged It, asked if I was okay, or checked on me during my visit. Though I do think, the manager had been told because she went to the empty table next to us. Looked at me hard to miss me with my knee Scooter, picked up, maybe a tiny piece of paper off that table and walked away, not even a word. Im sorry I think it's terrible. . . Highly don't recommend they don't care about their customers. All they care about is their money. To the men outside that helped me back up asked if I was okay, and helped me in, I wish I'd gotten your names. You are my heroes, a big big. Thank you. 1 of Them actually thought I should sue you, because of all the broken up asphalt around that supposed ramp, poor poor ramp. so sad when they don't care about their customers. Don't recommend. read more

Can't seem to get any take out order right. Ordered tonight . Sicilian pizza. Items on the pizza were missing. Gave this place a second chance after the last mess up. Spend too much money for food that is sub par at best. Save your money and go elsewhere read more

If you are in or around Plainwell, MI I would definitely recommend checking this place out! It is sort of like an Italian sports bar but with really good food! They are always busy. Michigan crafts beers on tap. Great service! We started off with some bruschetta and spinach artichoke dip and both were great. Bruschetta was a little garlicky so if you like garlic you should be good. If I had to say one thing that could be fixed I would have to point out the menu's, the writing was coming off a couple we had and had to borrow someone else's to read it. If you can handle sharing then I think you will be just fine ;) read more

First timer. Went inside to order food to go -- was told about 20-25 minutes. After40 minutes, I asked the hostess about my to go order. She THEN told me that I has to go outside and pick it up at the to go window!!! There was no signage or anyone said to pick it up at a different door. Food was great -- but this was a real disappointment..... read more

Love this place also...excellent food..the Calamari ~~ yum, yum, yum. Excellent drinks and friendly staff and atmosphere!

The ambiance was good, modern. The music was very nice and up to date. The entrees exceeded exceptions. My biggest complaint was the service felt very rushed for not being busy. The bruschetta appetizer shouldn't be served as an appetizer, it was overpriced for the cheap bread that was very tough to chew. If I had to choose between a tire and the bread for the bruschetta, I would choose the tire. Other than the negatives, this is definitely a recommended place compared to all the other restaurants in the area. This is definitely one of the best. read more

We go for lunch so it isn't that busy. The servers are awesome. The food is delish. We all find we can make 2 meals with one serving

Great food and close to Bittersweet. I went in alone on Friday at 6 after dropping my kids at Bittersweet. Was seated promptly and my server was very attentive. Great place for watching games and the food is great. The restaurant is clean and I will be back again for the Strawberry Apple Salad which was fresh and delicious. read more

Food was a hit or miss for our group, their chicken was not great overall but their pasta was ok. Their menu is quite large so It could impede with quality over quantity. read more

I went tonight and the chocolate martini was just chocolate milk in a martini glass. I then ordered the Bellini and it was orange juice. The minestrone soup was cabbage and peas and I couldn't even eat it. The Margarita pizza was a small mini microwave pizza that they put basil on. I will never ever eat there again! read more

Pizza is exceptional with a good crust. 4 people ordered different sandwiches with no complaints. A lot of video screens if you are a sport fan. read more

Food was very good. My wife had the turkey open face club and I had the lasagna. Service was also very good. The reason that I am only giving four stars is because first of all I don't like everything being a la carte for a dinner. Salad and bread should be included. (Minimally the bread with lasagna. read more

Rather busy on Father's Day, but worth the wait. We had the pizza dunkers with the Parmesan garlic toss as an appetizer, reminded the older ones of us of the garlic sticks little ceasers had back in the 70s, but softer and tastier (5 stars). I had the yummy lasagna (which I would give 4 stars), my husband had the beef & bean wet burrito which he said was good (not worth 5 stars, but good), and our son had the stuffed pizza with pepperoni and Italian sausage which he said was great and he said it's worth 4.5 stars. The service was great. We would definitely come here again. Bonus, short walk from Walmart, so if you are traveling with a camper you'll have a place to park. read more

Great as always. Parking is interesting but other than that, great food. Portions are decent for leftovers for lunch the next day too.

I had a group of 6. Went on Valentine's Day. 3 of us ordered the Valentine's Special, While the others enjoyed the boneless wings, and the rigatoni pasta dish. The wings and pasta were nice and came out hot. The three Valentine's specials were ok. The steak was over cooked on all three plates and the potatoes slightly cold. As well as the shrimp. Steak had no flavor, and the garlic bread was off putting. Other than that the salads were good as well as the soup. We didn't let the staff know because at that point we had a 40 minute wait before we sat down and then waited another 30 mins and we were all hungry and ready to go. I will say I do plan on trying again, in hopes my next experience could be better. read more

Friday Buffets for 10.99 really can't beat that. Has a a good variety of salads, pastas, pizzas, and different meats and breadsticks. Service is on point as well, friendly. Really enjoyed the pizza. read more

Just got a hand tossed pizza and it was phenomenal! By far the best pizza I had in a long time. Fresh ingredients and great sauce.

I have been here twice and had a pleasant experience both times. There's a bar side and a dining side and we have sat in the dining area both times. There are lots of screens playing various sports, and it's a little strange still to see NFL games with no fans, but welcome to 2020. Anyway, I highly recommend the calamari and pizza dunkers for appetizers. The calamari has both varieties of pieces, and the breading is delicious and crispy. The pizza dunkers (get them garlic parmesan, I promise) come with house made marinara and nacho cheese. I prefer the marinara, but it's nice to have options. We have had pasta both times, all delicious. The ravioli is great, but I think our favorite is the chicken Parmesan. The breading is perfectly seasoned and crunchy, goes really well with the homemade sauce. Portion sizes will leave you full! I also tried a couple of the martinis, there are several delicious flavors. We will come back again and again. read more

Checked this place out on the way back from Allegan. The service was excellent however the food was just ok. I ordered the stromboli with mushrooms, sausage and meatballs. Mushrooms and sausage ok but the meatballs were a little mushy. The sandwich itself was large but unfortunately I didn't like it that much to want to try and eat the whole thing. Needed a wee bit more Italian flavor if you ask me.. My wife ordered the lasagna at the recommendation of our server. She enjoyed the taste and flavor and would have it again. We sat in the dining area verses the bar area. The place was clean and had plenty of TVs to watch. We did enjoy our visit and may come back and try something else. read more

*Updated Review* The Good: Let's get this correct: the service was on-point tonight! * We were greeted by the manager with a friendly smile who promptly showed us to our table. * Our server, Nikole, is clearly very good at her job! She smiled with enthusiasm and made us feel extra welcome. Nikole was prompt with taking our order, providing refills, and plate removal. Nikole is truly an asset to the Salvino's team! The Needs Improvement: * My parental unit and I ordered the chicken wrap and found that our wraps were lacking in the chicken department. An attempt to disguise the lack of chicken was made by putting an unusual amount of lettuce on our wraps. We ordered a chicken wrap not a lettuce wrap. Boo. * The "famous fiesta ranch sauce" was MIA and never made it to our chicken wrap. Overall: The service was a 5 star but unfortunately with the lack of chicken and the "famous fiesta ranch sauce" being MIA I'm downgrading to 4 stars. read more

Salvinos is an Italian themed sports bar and grill brought to you by the owners of Uccelos in Wayland. There are different dine in and a sports bar sections. We sat in the sports bar section. It was a touch louder than your average sports bar and it was only about half full. Meh. I gave it 3 stars as it is my wife and I's first time there. The breadsticks were amazing and would definitely have them again. The pizza (the salvino pizza) was just O.K. The toppings were good, the sausage a bit too spicy, the sauce was weak in flavor, and a little watery causing all our toppings to fall off. Defiantly a fork and knife pizza. The menu was extensive with lots of variety so hopefully the next time we're there I will have better things to say. We would go again to try something different and I'll write another review then about my thoughts. read more

We showed up with a family of 5 later on a Friday night, on the home stretch of a 9 day family vacation. Mr. and I, along with kids 8, 6, and 3. They quickly found us a spot on the bar side of the place. Our servers were friendly, helpful, and very accommodating to the odd requests from the kids. We had the house dip = amazing. Mr. had the buffalo wings and thought they were pretty good. I tried the chicken tortilla soup and loved it - really cheesy with just a bit of spice. We shared the chicken Marsala, although after the appetizer and soup I was pretty much full. The few bites I managed to eat were quite good and definitely homemade. I'll be eating the rest for lunch tomorrow. Happily, karaoke starts at 9pm on Friday, and we caught the first few songs. Kids loved the "dance party" and it bought us a few extra minutes to finish our very reasonably priced local craft beers. If you go, say hello to Tracy, she's one of the best bartenders we know! read more

We sat down for Mother's Day dinner. Waited for our waitress who when she did walk over, took our drink orders.

We were then told "sorry it's closed now! It stops at 3pm I looked at my phone it was 3:03pm. Buffet full of food Prime rib chunk was barely cut into. Really ????
