Salvatore's has great food,drinks and desserts.They always have great entrees and salads on their menu,great drinks and desserts.I was served a great caesar salad and the special which was ravioli with gorgonzola cheese and roasted walnuts in a gorgonzola cream sauce.For dessert I had this wonderful ice cream sundae with whipped cream and italian cherries and italian cherry sauce. My friends who went with me liked the caesar salad also and a bunch of the pasta entrees and they liked the coconut sorbet and the proffiteroli for dessert.The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and the waiter and his service were very nice as well.

i highly reccomend this place if you are looking for great italian food and a place to hang out

• Pros: food, atmosphere,service,parking,prices

Buono

Pronto, having lived in Italy for a few years, eating in this restaurant was like returning to Italia. My wife and I appreciate how true to Sud Italia this experience is. If you like the Olive Garden, stay away and keep our waits for a tavola shorter. If you're in a rush, go to Papa Murphy's, please. If you are willing to learn about good food and wine, we'll see you there. Grazie! Ciao, ciao, ciao, ciao.

• Pros: Intimate tables
• Cons: occasional long wait (but for a reason)

Very disappointed

by quena at Citysearch

I'm not one who usually submits a review, however I was so disappointed by my experience I felt compelled to write. I went last night to celebrate my birthday and the service was incredibly slow. We waited an hour between receiving the salad and main entree. Every other table within earshot also complained of the long wait for their food. The food, itself, was not impressive and the presentation, plain. Three in my party ordered from the long list of specials ($17-$19). The meat was over-cooked and tough, the pasta which accompanied it was okay but plain. The ravioli stuffed with portabello mushroom didn't have much taste. The linguine in bianco (linguine with seafood) was pretty good. Sauce was light and flavorful, but the shrimp were baby shrimp--not regular shrimp!

One highlight was the complimentary dessert in acknowledgment of my brithday.

In all, overpriced for the food and service that one receives.

Best Italian in Seattle!

I have lived in the Roosevelt area for about 10 years and am lucky enough to have Salvatore within walking distance of my house. The food here is absolutely amazing from appetizer to dessert! My favorite is the penne puttenesca, but I have never had anything here that wasn't spectacular!

I take out-of-town guests here all the time and Salvatore always ends up being rated as one of the best Italian meals they have ever had. I recently took a business associate to dinner here and he paid a very high compliment to Salvatore saying, "If I was on death row, I would ask for this as my last meal."

Beyond the food, the owner, Salvatore, and the staff are very friendly and fun. I always feel like I am having dinner with family when I am there.

I highly recommend Salvatore for a truly amazing meal and overall experience.

• Pros: Excellent food, friendly service, quaint atmosphere
• Cons: None to speak of
