I stopped by Salato's for a quick lunch. I went for the Boss sandwich, which contained turkey, salami, balsamic vinegar and avocado. It was an unusual but not unpleasant combination. The meat and bread were fresh and the size of the sandwich was acceptable. I think I'd prefer it if the sandwich wasn't toasted, as the bread got a bit on the dry and crunchy side. I had a brownie for dessert and it was just okay.

Great new choice in downtown Springfield, with more unique sandwich combinations than all your other options here in Springfield put together!! Come hungry, and get ready to try some of the most tempting deli fare I've seen since leaving the "big city!!" All the meats, cheeses, sandwich spreads and garnishes you've been craving (and might not have even realized!!) and more!! There are salad and pasta options available as well, and I might have heard something about some pizza specials coming as well... Great "craft" sodas and some VERY tempting desserts from the bakery next door are available as well!!The only "challenge" I see this place facing is during "rush" hours at lunch and dinner, as they really take the time to individually explain your options and craft your sandwich, and even during the "off" hours we came in, the line was manageable, but growing. They've got a great concept, and with the much anticipated "rebirth" of downtown Springfield, places like this (and MORE of 'em!!) are just what we need!!!

These sandwiches are amazing! I love the bread that they use and you can't go wrong with any sandwich on the menu! They are definitely worth the time kid you can stop by and get a quick bite!

I visited Salato Deli during lunch on a Friday. It was the fourth day of operation. There's a ton of variety. Meats and cheeses you won't see on any other menu in Springfield are sliced to order. The fresh baked focaccia bread is delicious.The staff knows their products and they're happy to help you choose. It takes a little time, but it's a tiny place making interesting food. Be prepared to wait a bit during the lunch rush until it's dialed in. Otherwise visit during off hours. We had the Italian and the Winter sandwiches. These sandwiches are big. We cut ours in half and if it had occurred to me while I was there I would have asked them to do it. Both were great hot from the infamous oven, but even better after I left it wrapped up in my fridge for a few hours. Springfield, don't create a no face, no friends, fake name Yelp account just to write a one star review trashing a place that you haven't even tried. It's petty and sad and we see right through you.Yummy sandwiches. Local love. Five stars.

I want to like this place more... but the thing is a sandwich that's dominated by so much bread just isn't good, no matter how nice the ingredients are. And that's the bummer... the quality of ingredients here is high. They just take a small serving of delicious, fresh cut meat and lay it out with the other ingredients on a huge slab of focaccia. I mean, the focaccia would be fine as a supporting element, but it isn't going to blow you away by itself. Bu, anyway, I didn't want focaccia with a soupçon of meat and cheese. I wanted a SANDWICH. Even with the top slice off, the amount of bread is just disproportionate to the other ingredients. If they can get the ratios fixed, then this place will be great.

Good food! Had the Roman' Italian sandwich which I found a little too salty, but it is made with salted cured meats. The salads were very fresh and satisfying. The sodas were made with cane sugar and pleasantly sweet.Only downside is that it is incredibly slow. It took us a half hour for two salads and a sandwich and there was only 4 other people there.

We stopped in for the first time today. I had a half Roamin' Italian, my SO had a whole Meatball. Mine was excellent, and plenty! The focaccia bread was toasted to perfection. The fountain drinks are excellent, too. Love that brand of soda. Can't wait to go back and try a different sandwich.

Yelp leads me to yet another delicious meal! I made a quick trip to Springfield and needed lunch. I wanted takeout but not drive thru fare and saw the great reviews for Salato Deli. Parking was easy along the road downtown but my app made it a bit hard to find. It shares space with le Torte Dolci bakery. I ordered the margarita sandwich (I think that's the name) on focaccia. It was delicious and didn't make a mess like others I've had elsewhere. Everything was fresh. There were several other sandwiches I would've liked to try, I may need a return trip! The pastries on display were tempting and of course I ended up with a donut for my son as well. I wish I had more time as the area is trendy with several cute shops. Again, return trip!

Called in advance of leaving home (I'm a bit of a hike from Springfield) to specifically ask if they had cannolis today, and was told they did. Made the trip out and placed an order - double checking before ordering that they, indeed, still had cannolis and was told they did. Waited in my car ten mins for the order to be ready, came back in and was told they were out of the ricotta for cannolis. I wouldn't ding a place for being out of something if I just came in off the street, but I'd called in advance and made a trip out that way (again, quite a distance from where I live) just for the sake of getting the cannolis. They wasted my time and gas (in this economy) and I'm also immune-compromised so going anywhere is a calculated risk - they are all factors that make a wasted trip out of the house more than just a little deal to me. I definitely won't be going back ever again. Also a heads up to future customers - the half order size for a sandwich is VERY small, it's better to just get a whole if you go.

I wanted to love this place, went in thinking it would be awesome. I don't know how the reviews are this high. It's disgusting.Food took a long time, They were out of the sauce I wanted for my pasta, but didn't tell us until after I reicieved my food . Didn't have a chance to order something else instead. Food served on throwaway bowls, and it was lukewarm. that would have been fine if the food was good, but it wasn't.I've had cafeteria food better than my ravioli with marinara. The ravioli must have been the cheapest of the cheap frozen garbage, and the sauce tasted like a cheap watery canned one. I had high hopes for the house made meatballs, but they tasted like non seasoned, reground meatloaf. Side salad was sad.I would genuinely rather have had a frozen meal at home, especially considering how EXPENSIVE this was. The pasta bowl was actually as about the size of a frozen meal, tasted worse, but it was 9 dollars. NINE DOLLARS.
