I LOVE this place! Â Just tried their Linguine with Clams and it was amazing. Â I am also a huge fan of their marinara sauce and therefore even a typically "boring" spaghetti marinara is so so good. Â Hubby loves the pesto dishes and lasagna. Â Sons love the calzones and that fantastic cinnamon roll. Â So glad they took over Aboite Grill's old location. Â This is definitely an improvement.
Review Source:Tried Salvatori's on a Friday night with the boyfriend. It was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. Although we did get seated in the overflow room which was uncomfortably warm and missing the character and charm of the main dining area. I ordered the baked penne with the meat sauce and I thought it was really good, I would order it again. We had breadsticks for an app, and well they weren't all that impressive, mostly just warm bread, they weren't buttered, salted, seasoned, etc. Still good, but not great. Our server was friendly and attentive so that was nice. I'd probably check this restaurant out again, but it doesn't top my list of Italian places in Fort Wayne....although I may put it in my #2 spot because I don't really like Biaggis and while Casa's is good, it's also overrated.
Review Source:Just pulled in for gas and this restaurant is attached to the gas station. The food is great. We had cheese garlic bread and the best BBQ chicken pizza I have had in a very long time. If I lived close or even in the state I would eat here....a lot. Highly recommended for all. The restaurant is clean, staff are friendly and food was hot and fresh.
Review Source:It's 9PM on a Friday night. My niece just graduated from high school so my brother, my sister, my brother-in-law and I all want to take her out. Niece doesn't know any place to go. Suggests KFC. I do a quick search on my phone (thank god that we live in the future!) and I find this place, and after asking around, we all shrug and come to Salvatori's.
We see it's attached to a gas station. My family expresses worry. I demand we try it anyway. I have a good feeling. We head inside. Low lighting (rather romantic, honestly). An open window so you can see the cooks. Nothing overly fancy, but nothing that makes anyone scream and run in terror.
Waitress shows up. One of the nicest ladies I have seriously ever spoken to as a waitress. She's very friendly. Answers everyone's question. Sister wants to know what sweet wines they have. Waitress suggests Moscato (spelling? who cares!). Â Sister worries because she has a love hate relationship with wine. Waitress says she'll bring out a glass and if we'd like, the bottle. She brings out a glass. Sister and I try it. Sister and I end up drinking two bottles worth of Moscato wine.
I and my brother order baked spaghetti with parmesan. Brother-in-law orders linguine with chopped clams in a butter garlic sauce. Sister orders spinach ravioli with a light butter sauce. Niece orders alfredo with shrimp. We all get our food. I find myself pleased that I ordered a half, because even a half order is twice the size of my head. Try to decide just how big a full order would be. Decide that it would feed a family of twelve.
Everyone in the whole family RAVES about the food. Brother-in-law in particular is absolutely surprised by his linguine with chopped clams. I try a bite of the clams--they literally melt in my mouth. Not rubbery at all. Niece tries to figure out how come she'd never eaten here before. Family full of gabbers who normally can't shut their mouths for any reason overwhelmed by the decadence of the meal. Silence for the first time in years.
I tentatively ask if I can try the cannoli. I've always been hard to please when it comes to cannoli. I love it when it's made right, hate it otherwise. I'm brought out a cannoli filled with jam and ricotta and covered in powdered sugar and sprinkle glitter. I tentatively try a bite. I immediately exclaim: "This is the best cannoli I've ever had!" Rest of family tries a bite (all that I grouchily give up). Rest of family ends up ordering cannoli and cheesecake. Everything is DELICIOUS. Waitress beams as we tell her it's the best desserts we've had at Italian restaurant. Her son cooks it in the back.
Seriously: I don't know why this place isn't more well known. I just checked--it's known as one of hte top five restaurants in the area. And I can SEE WHY! Absolutely delicious food at cheap prices and absolutely wonderful staff. Listen to the other reviewers: don't be scared by its location. I want to go back right now and I just got done and they're closed. But oh MAN are they good. If you're on I-69, pull over and grab a bite.
A little gem of a place in a (truck stop?) strip mall. Â Kinda hard to see but totally worth looking for.
Genuine food & service ---none of that Olive Garden crap. This is great Italian. Â Love the little salad--such a kick in the taste buds. Nice!
My only negative thing is that I don't get to eat here often enough!
