    Staff is SUPER friendly, they were great!…read more The starter wasn't great, the cheese tortellini was over fried so there was no cheese left, just a crisp pasta husk. The sauces weren't my favorite either... Italian salad dressing, chunky red sauce, and the cream base of Alfredo sauce (not good - basically just plain cold cream). The white chicken Parmesan entree was very good though, well worth the trip!

A true traditional homestyle spaghetti and incredible sauce perfectly seasoned and consistent blend of herbs making this sauce the talk of the meal. Meatballs, wow ! They are huge and again perfect to taste, the seasoned taste will wake your taste bud's simply because you have never had the true Italian meatballs. The mall is offered with a slice of buttered garlic bread that says hi I'm straight from the bakers oven and melted in your mouth. A side salad is wonderful with this meal and if you like Italian make sure and have the house Italian dressing it absolutely will not disappoint you. I will always return when in or close to Findlay, OH. Special thanks to momma, Micah your amazing!!!

    Passing through Auburn, Indiana this Thursday afternoon (enroute to Naperville IL) and stopped for…read morethe night (and to get dinner). Our neighbor is cat-sitting for us and suggested Salvatori's as a good place for Italian, and she was so right! It's not a big space and you may have a short wait for a table, but so worth it. The ambiance is casual and family-oriented, not too noisy even when full, and (best of all) there's No TVs. Heavenly! I had the pasta Apuli (minus the red pepper flakes), she had the Spaghetti Olio and we split a bruchetta and a cannoli for a to-go dessert. The portions are so large, we needed to-go boxes for both dinners even though we ordered the half sizes! Generous doesn't begin to describe this place. Our server was warm and attentive without 'hovering' and the host stopped by to ensure all's well. We're coming back through town on Monday and I think we'll be back again!

    This review is based on two visits, two nearly identical pizzas, and unfortunately, the same issue…read moreboth times: two pizzas, same floppy crust. About two weeks ago, visiting Auburn for work, I ordered a small Supreme thin-crust pizza from Salvatori's and brought it back to my hotel. The pizza itself was very tasty, but the crust was extremely soft and floppy--so much so that it couldn't support the toppings. When I picked up a slice, the toppings basically slid right off the bottom. The crust had apparently decided its job was simply to provide transportation from the kitchen to the box. The flavor was good, though, so afterward I called the restaurant simply to offer some constructive feedback. I explained that I thought the pizza had been pulled from the oven too early and wasn't fully cooked. The young lady took my feedback in stride and thanked me. This week, I decided to give Salvatori's another try and ordered the exact same pizza: small Supreme, thin crust. But this time I was very specific. I asked for the crust to be very crispy and told them I was perfectly fine with the cheese getting browned. At the end of the call, they confirmed, "So you want it well done?" I said yes. Perfect. We were speaking the same pizza language. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, however, the pizza wasn't ready. After waiting a few minutes, one staff member asked another if they had taken the order for the "10-inch carryout pizza"--a.k.a. my pizza--and there seemed to be a little scrambling. The manager came right up and explained that they were "late" getting my pizza in. I said no problem. Things happen. I waited another 15-20 minutes. When the pizza finally came out, I watched an employee hand it over to the woman at the counter. She opened the box, looked at the pizza, paused for a good five seconds, slowly closed the lid, turned around, faced me and said: "Sir, your pizza is ready." That five-second pause should probably have been my warning. To their credit, they were very nice about the delay and gave me a piece of cheesecake at no charge. I had intended to pay for it, but they insisted because of the inconvenience, which I genuinely appreciated. Here's where my pending disappointment became actual disappointment. I opened the box. It looked almost exactly like the pizza from two weeks earlier. Definitely not well done. Definitely not crispy. Once again, the crust was soft and floppy. Apparently, "well done" and I have a different definition than Salvatori's oven does. At that point, the pizza was already cut, I had already waited the extra time, and I really didn't want to hand it back and ask them to put it in the oven for another 10 minutes just to get the crispy crust I had specifically requested. I hate leaving anything less than a five-star review, especially because the pizza actually tastes good and the staff were friendly. But after specifically calling about the issue after my first experience, then giving them another chance and being extremely clear about how I wanted the second pizza cooked, it was disappointing to receive essentially the same result. The missed order and extra wait wouldn't have bothered me much by themselves. Things happen, and the complimentary cheesecake was a thoughtful gesture that I appreciated. But when a customer specifically requests a pizza "well done," the restaurant confirms that request, and the pizza still comes out noticeably underdone, that's harder to overlook. I wanted crispy. I got floppy. Twice. Two pizzas, one review--and unfortunately, the same crust both times. I'm just not sure there will be a third. I'm rooting for you Salvatori's, I really am, but man-o-man.

    We weren't expecting to find such amazing food at this restaurant!! We were driving from one state…read moreto another and stopped at the gas station (next to the restaurant), and decided to give this Italian place a try, and we're so glad we did. The prices are very affordable, the portions are huge, and the food is absolutely SOOO delicious. Totally exceeded our expectations. So, If you're passing through the area or happen to live nearby, I definitely recommend stopping here, you won't regret!

    We had a great dinner at Salvatori's. Two of us ordered calzones. They were huge and stuffed…read morealmost too full of toppings. Hubby wanted to eat lighter, so ordered the peppers, onions, and sausage appetizers simmered in red sauce. The portion was huge and definitely enough for his main entree. Another of our party ordered spaghetti and meatballs side, which he also enjoyed and was a huge portion. We loved the hot breadsticks. The only down side is that my daughter's entree was late. The server told us that the kitchen had pretty much just spaced it and didn't start making her food with the rest of our order. She did not receive her entrée until all of the rest of us were completely finished eating. Well, we were good natured about it and didn't create a fuss or complain or asked to talk to a manager,, but Salvatori's also didn't take the initiative to offer any additional words of explanation, apology, or even a coupon off our next visit. My daughter's entrée came out so hot, that the ceramic plate was actually steaming. Ordinarily that is not a bad thing if she would receive her order at the same time as everyone else.. She felt so awkward about having to wait until it cools off before she can eat, and knowing that all the rest of us were finished and waiting on her that she just pretty much asked for a box and packed it up to take it home. That was a bit of a bummer.

After travel we didn't feel like dining in so we placed an order for carry out on their website. The menu is extensive! Definitely something to please everyone. Our order was ready at the quoted time. Employees were friendly at the carryout counter. We had ordered a few different pasta entrées and breadsticks. I had the backed manicotti with cheese and herbs, and it was excellent. Servings were large, enough for two to share or two meals. My friend enjoyed spaghetti with marina sauce and meatballs. I will definitely return to try some other entrées, and would like to dine in next time as the restaurant was attractive and comfortable.

It's located in a strip mall that looks a bit run down. But once you enter the outside door, everything changes. This location has a more intimate vibe to it. Lower lighting and a quieter mood. We were seated in the bar area but it was quiet since it was middle of the day and the bar was empty. Our server, Linda, did something I've never had happen before. She asked our names and proceeded to address us by them the entire visit. She had a great personality and made for a great experience. I'm a huge Mama Daphne fan as is my husband. But we wanted something different. We ordered bosco sticks for the app and husband ordered the spicy Italian meat calzone and I opted for the Papa Petro, a flatbread sandwich with pesto mayo and several Italian meats. We were impressed with both but the Papa Petro won out. Very tasty. Mama Daphne has some competition now. This location is the only location that doesn't serve pizza. They defer to the Marco's pizza location two doors down. So if you want pizza at Salvatori's, skip this location. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend! Will be back!
