“The service here is amazing from greet to eat🙏 the staff are friendly with great recommendations on cocktails and the dinner menu - they were able to answer all of our menu questions in detail. The food came out fresh and delicious, we ordered a variety of pastas, salad, and pizza. The octopus appetizer is delicious and cooked to perfection, the funghi pizza is amazing and may have been my favorite item ... Although it is tough to beat fresh pasta. Definitely worth the parking challenges one will inevitably face, it's not the restaurant it's the area in general 🤷‍♀️😂😂😂“

“We went for the first time yesterday before Pageant of the Masters. We were in a hurry for reasons out of our control, and they were great about getting our food out in time to enjoy on their front patio with a nice bottle of Italian red wine. They have umbrellas and heat lamps, but we didn't need them; the weather was perfect. I'm vegan so I ordered the Capellini al Pomodoro, but substituted it with the spicy sauce from the Rigatoni Arrabbiata. It was SO good. My husband had the Wild Mushroom Agnolotti, and that was also delicious. The other dish ordered was the Pesto Gnocchi, also so good! Every other place on Forest had at least an hour wait, but after all, it was a Saturday evening during the Festival of Arts. Thankfully someone recommended Salerno. We're definitely going back. Price spent reflects the wine. Next time, I'll try to make a reservation just in case!“

“This is the perfect neighborhood pizza place! I love that they cater to gluten-free and vegan diets with their cheeseless Vegana pizza. Although they don’t offer vegan cheese, they allow you to bring your own. The gluten-free crust is the best I've had. The owner is very accommodating, and the staff is wonderful. Highly recommend!“
