I've been craving good Italian food, and this place came to mind. Since it has become quite the hot spot in Fort Mill, I made sure to make RSVP for dinner. Good thing...'cuz this place was packed!The place itself is quite quaint...and no overhead music either. Basically had a busy, local pub type vibe...but still, I trusted that they had good Italian food here. Again, this place is owned by folks that run Flipside, FM Eatery and more...so good foods should be the norm.Well, everything we ordered lived up to my expectations. Fried Calamari was not only delicious, but uniquely so...in that it was deeply flash fried with extra flavor. I LOVED this! I ordered their Chicken Parmesan again...and loved that as well. My husband ordered their Eggplant Parmesan, which came with Spaghetti noodle...and he loved that too. I must mention that the presentation could have been better. Then their Creme Brulee was really original, in that it had this coffee flavor, with Biscotti on top. Not only delicious, but every dish we ordered had a unique twist. Kudos to that! Even this cocktail (Negroni?) was awesome...tasty, and so strong! Despite the mediocre ambiance, the foods more than made up for it. Service was good too. We agreed that we'll definitely be returning in the future.

Last week I had a party there for 17 people, I have called around to see if any restaurants can take 15 ppl for a birthday party.. And Salmeri's was the only one that can do it without a call back from a manager. Later on, I went from 15 to 17 people with no problem. We were all there to celebrate my cousin's 45th birthday. I know I was loud: excitement, so I'm sorry to the other guests. Many family members like Salmeri's food and customer service. Some even went back there for lunch with their kids. I have alway enjoyed Salmeri's on a quiet night. Just me or with a friend sitting at the bar for some good Italian, Now it's even better because I know they definitely can accommodate a large party without any issues.

Service by Krista was excellent. Other waitstaff pitched in - good sign.Meatballs-polenta was very good. The fried calamari was OK - nothing special (not a lot of tentacles - which is the part I like....). Chicken parm was very good (they didn't skimp on the sauce). The bucatini was slightly overcooked. My glass of Quercia was excellent pairing. Short ribs were flavorful. Bolognese was still good. Portions are generous but not crazy large. 6-630PM Thursday night seemed to be peak hours. By 730 the crowd died down considerably.Happy our second visit was just a good as the first time.Men's room could use some tlc.

I don't event know where to start, between the food, the drinks, the dessert and service, everything was outstanding. It reminded me of a super traditional Italian restaurant with a modern but still authentic twist. We got pizza, beef short ribs and Caesar salad with shrimp, everything tasted homemade and fresh. We celebrated someone's birthday and even got a free dessert. We went for the cannoli cake, picture a deconstructed cannoli but in cake form! It was one of the best things I ever had! The restaurant is in fort mill close to carowinds and such a quick drive on the highway from clt! Don't sleep on this one, if you are looking for a nice Italian feast!

Salmeri's is a cute little Italian spot. The service was excellent and the food was so flavorful with nothing being too overpowering. We ordered crab (not imitation) and artichoke dip, roasted cauliflower and calamari for apps and split the salmon pesto pasta. We were so full but couldn't stop eating. Glad we found this cute little spot. We will be back to try out more of the menu.

Great Italian cuisine at reasonable prices! I visited five different times and ordered different things each time to get a real feel for how well the dishes are prepared.Obviously, I'm impressed! Everything I tried was prepared incredibly well!They use a wood fired oven for pizzas which is the only way to get the crust the way it is in Italy. I really liked their Margherita and Prosciutto Artichoke pizzas but that all depends on what you like on yours!The PEI Mussels are fabulous and is a huge portion as well. When I have ordered this dish at other places there are usually 15-20 mussels whereas here they brought me more like 30 mussels! There were so many that I asked the waitress if this is a normal portion and she said that it was. They use charred cherry tomatoes for a delicious smoky flavor. I would prefer more garlic but then again I like lots of garlic! For other appetizers, I was very pleasantly surprised by the Crab Artichoke dip. I also liked the Meatballs and Polenta, Flash Fried Semolina Crusted Calamari and Fried Mozzarella Sticks.You can't go wrong with anything you order here but I have to mention the Shrimp Scampi in particular as outstanding! Cheers!

Meh. My husband's shrimp weren't cleaned enough (gritty). No normal fettuccine noodles. I think they only serve buccatini fettuccine (al dente and thin in size but thicker) or pappardelle (super wide & flat). The flavor in the table's olive oil sunk to the bottom of the bowl and there was soo much oil it was hard not to drown the bread in oil. I kept trying to stir it up. The chicken & bread was good though. Staff all seemed new. The bar tender was a talker so that's always nice if you're alone, wanna sit at the bar and chat. I would try it again. Lots of decent cocktails and beer.
