Salvatori's Authentic Italian Eatery - New Haven

Don't judge a book by its cover. Yes, this little family-friendly Italian eatery is located in a truck stop/gas station - but their Italian food and house-made desserts are legit!Daughter and I stopped on our way from northern Columbus to Fort Wayne. I filled up the car with gas and she got hungry - so we took a chance and went inside. Whoa, it smelled great! Service was friendly and menu looked terrific. Kiddo had fettuccine Alfredo - the best she's ever had, she said, and she orders that all over the world. We also got their "cinnamon roll" which is basically a Stromboli filled with cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. Made fresh to order, it blew our minds. Don't miss out on Salvatori's if you're ever in the area!

Wonderful hidden gem. It's located in the gas station. So I wasn't sure how this was going to be. But is excellent food and service. I had the Baked Ziti with sausage and peppers. Definitely will be back!!

Third time I've stopped at Salvatori's on my way to or from a soccer game in Michigan, and this place never disappoints! The food is always amazing and the atmosphere cozy. On this visit we split a loaded calzone with marinara for dipping. It was cheesy, full of meat, sauce and veggies and super filling. We also split a small house salad - it was so full it spilled over the bowl! Finally we got one of their decadent cinnamon rolls to go - perfect with a cup of coffee later in our hotel room. Don't let the gas station location fool you - Salvatori's is the real deal.

Two experiences this weekend: Dine-in Friday night with my Indiana family, had excellent, friendly, efficient customer service, large portions, absolutely delicious pastas, breadsticks and sangria. Saturday afternoon, I placed a take-out order on their website. They forgot an item that we didn't notice until we were 10 miles away, but the manager, Tom, went out of his way to make it right for us. The pizzas were delicious, especially the spicy one with homemade giardiniera! Wow!! I could only wish they had a bigger place... but you could bet it would still be crowded because it is so good! Next time we're in Indiana we'll be back for sure.

Amazing! Don't be fooled by the location (attached to a gas station). This place is legit. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable (although small so not a ton of seating). The food is wonderful. We enjoyed the breadsticks and three meat cuscino as appetizers. The breadsticks were delicious, especially with the homemade alfredo. The meatball was good - too much meat for me but everyone else loved it. I had the spinach and mushroom ravioli which was fabulous. Tons of fresh spinach, tender mushrooms and a decadent white sauce. I didn't get dessert but my dining partners gave the cheesecake 2 thumbs up, and they said the cinnamon roll was incredible. Fantastic find well worth a return visit.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? The Sunoco Gas Station at exit 19 on I469 in Ft Wayne Indiana, across street from the Flyin J Truckstop has "Authentic Italian Food"! What???????????? Who would have thunk it?Not just authentic, but, BOMB DOT COM Good! Incredibly good small thin crust pizza that is probably one of my top 5 and a spicy cajun rigatoni in a creamy Alfredo sauce that was seriously so good! The first thing that dawned on me was how good it was and it is located in gas station. 2.5hrs from my house and I stumbled upon this as I was near ft Wayne Indiana.Elle was an amazing waitress so please go see her, she told us exactly what to get. A small little place with maybe 10-12 parking spots that are probably meant for gas station guests but don't let that detour you! You will not regret this. It's worth a long drive to experience it. Wow!!

This place never leaves us wanting! Food is out of this world, huge portions make for 2+ meals and are so yummy. The service is always great and we love the atmosphere!

Ok, first things first. It is right off the highway, shares a wall with a Taco Bell and next to a gas station. Full stop. If you keep reading or stop, you will do yourself a favor. Thanks other Yelpers. It was a rainy Friday night, nearing the end of a long road trip and we were cranky and hungry and despite the reservations in the first paragraph, decided to give it a shot. Really a great meal. It is the original location of which is now 7-8 other locations in greater Ft Wayne. It is cozy and cute inside but small. Short wait for a table (we called ahead which helped and was appreciated). Started with Bosco Sticks which was a cross between bread sticks and fried mozzarella. Choice of 4 dipping sauces. Delicious. Our party of 4 sampled the menu - chicken Marsala special for me, a spaghetti supreme, pasta apuilia and a white pizza. Everything was great and HUGE portions. 2 got the "small"Which they couldn't finish. The large is only like $2 more. Authentic cannolis for dessert. Limited beer and wine menu. Friendly and attentive service and food came out quickly. The only reason why I hold back from 5 stars was that this was not "to die for" Italian food or super creative. But a very solid choice and so glad we stopped.

This place might have the best Italian in Fort Wayne! We ate at the New Haven location, which is the original location. I got the Blackened Salmon Caesar Salad and it was so good! The salad had crushed up croutons mixed into the salad so every bite had a nice crunch. And the dressing was so full of flavor. It might be the best Caesar salad around!I also got the lasagna to go but had a few bites while it was hot. It was amazing and might be my new favorite! I will definitely be returning to Salvatori's for sure!!

Don't be fooled by the location behind the gas station. Great appetizer salad and the white pizza with chicken is amazing - try it!
