Salute Taverna

Really good food, excellent service! Sarah took wonderful care of us and the owner, Donna, was very welcoming. Atmosphere was warm and intimate. The arancini appetizer was divine. Husband ordered the lasagna, he said it was good except noodles were a bit overcooked. I ordered the linguini in white wine sauce. First attempt was inedible. Sandy grit in every bite from the clams. When I explained (nicely) why I couldn't eat it they responded perfectly. Remade the dish and it was amazing! Definitely recommend the dish, and recommend trying this place! We will for sure be back

Brought my husband last night for dinner He had just gotten home from Florida for 3 weeks. Excellent staff, excellent service, great band and fantastic dinners. And when we were done the owner Donna paid for our meal to thank my lineman Exceptional time. Thank you

The service was very good. The food is good but needs a little more seasoning. I LOVE French Soup. So I expected LOTS of hot bubbling cuz. Instead I received sparse cheese on a thick slice of bread. The lamb chops and shrimp Alfredo was great! Lamb was cooked medium as ordered. The Shrimp Alfredo was delicious and you get 5 HUGE shrimp that can be cut up so you can devour the dish. Ambiance is fun and they had a Bingo game going. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Let's start off by saying I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to have a nice brunch spot near by. Unfortunately our experience left little to be desired. The place was not busy and we had our pick of tables, so we sat on the patio. Our server was attentive with getting our drinks and placing our order. We ordered specialty pancakes: banana fosters and the house special Piccolina's Pancakes. We started the bummer of a brunch when I was notified that they don't have the lemon basil batter that makes the Piccolina pancakes distinctly different from their other pancakes. But with the mascarpone and blueberries it should still make for a good meal. When they arrived at the table we immediately noticed the pancakes were near burnt. But we tried them anyway, and somehow despite being burnt they were gummy, dense, and tasted raw. They stuck to the roof of your mouth like peanut butter. The banana fosters pancakes were underwhelming, missing the candied walnuts. The banana topping was separated and was slimy and looked curdled? We also got two sides of bacon, which was the only thing we finished. After telling the server, she agreed they were burnt but we were offered no solution or even new plate. Then was told she couldn't remove them from the bill because only the owner could do that and they weren't present. So we forked over the $50 for the meal we didn't eat and left we a very poor impression of the restaurant. We won't be back, simply because we won't risk that price tag again on inedible food with no resolution.

I was looking forward to trying something different in the area but the main issue is this place is incredibly overpriced for what you get. I got chicken piccata, unseasoned vegetables, and PLAIN pasta. ONE piece of chicken covered in capers, no sauce. How can you charge over $20 for that? The server asked me if wanted the pasta on the side with other sauce or under the chicken, I chose under the chicken, thinking it would have sauce. Nope. But how was I to know? I wish I would've taken a photo. It was pathetic looking.I added pepper and Parmesan and pesto that came with our bread and it was edible. My friend was surprised her chicken Alfredo had red pepper flakes in it.My other friend got vodka sauce that had a strange, strong after taste. The bruschetta, drinks, and cannolis were good and fairly priced. Also odd because the servers were just kind of hanging out waiting in the back for someone to need something.

Stopped into the spot for the very first time after having passed it several times. They have a really nice outdoor seating area, with beautiful hydrangea, plants surrounding, however, it is on the corner of a busy intersection, so traffic noise can be an issue if you decide to sit outdoors.The name portends that it's an Italian restaurant, and they have a few Italian dishes on the menu, but I can't comment on those, yet. Only stopped by for a glass of wine, and when I asked for an Italian red, the waitress brought me a Banfi Chianti. Nice.One of the things that really drew me into the place, was the fact that I had driven by several times before, and noted a live entertainer outside playing guitar. He was apparently playing that night, however, the time that I was there between 7:50 PM, and 8:30 PM, only a loud playlist from my laptop was playing classic rock. So I can't comment on the entertainment, yet.I have great hopes for this place! Looks like a spot with plenty of potential, met the owner, and she was very nice, looking forward to give it another try, and raising its score!

Too bad this place is in Taylor. We sat next to a table of very chatty T$-*p supporters that ruined the entire experience.

The food here is not the greatest. The bartender was amazing (Sue) is her name. I had the chicken Marsala. The Marsala wine needed to simmer more to get the alcohol out of it. It was strong. I sent it back to be replaced with cold chicken and still the Marsala was strong. I like the ambiance of this place but the cooks need to learn a thing or two.

Antipasto salad was good though it could have been chopped up. A dinner meal was forgotten out of a group of five. Was compensated by taking a coke off the bill. By time it was received everyone else was done eating. Service was lack-luster even though it wasn't really busy

Walked into and immediately was greeting by a warm, cozy Christmas environment. Sat on the heated patio and was very comfortable and had a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree to look at. Service was very attentive and friendly during the entire meal. Food was cooked to perfection (ordered a seasonal special). Will be returning more often
