One of our neighborhood favorites!

by northcity

My boyfriend and I have eaten here more than a dozen times. The truffle fries are to die for! I'm a vegetarian and he's not, and there are a handful of vegetarian options, but like Bick's down the street (same owners, I believe), they have a special vegetarian menu you need to ask for which "calls out" the vegetarian options but also has some options that aren't on the regular menu. Why do this? I have no idea, it seems like they should just incorporate everything onto the regular menu.

I'd give this 5 stars except last time we ate there the boyfriend got a steak he really wasn't happy with. We LOVE the $20 wines.

One other great thing about Saltoro - we've gone there on big nights like Fridays, New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day, and we've never had much of a wait.

• Pros: Ambience, service, general quality of ingredients
• Cons: Small portions

Good but a little heavy

by kateahubbard

My father, boyfriend, and I walked to Saltoro for dinner a few weeks ago. I liked the appearance from the outside and was excited to try a place in our new neighborhood (we just moved). I might have tried the wrong things on the menu, but had somewhat limited options as a vegetarian, and everything I ordered was greasy (pizza and salad). I also wasn't a huge fan of the pumpkin martini which tasted like egg nog and would have been better as a dessert. I am definitely still excited to go back sometime though, because as I said, I may have just ordered the wrong things! And my boyfriend and dad were happy with their food!

• Pros: Beautiful

Summer Breezes

We had a dreamy summer's night here last night. Sitting on the deck, cool breeze to add to the ambiance of a great meal and good wine. We'll be back, soon!
