Used to be much better. Food quality seems to have gone downhill and the owner is really not nice or welcoming

Really disappointing experience from start to finish — and that is saying a lot coming from a Naples local of over 20 years who has experienced both great and poor service in this area.
My family and I had heard for years how good Dolce and Salato was and had been meaning to try it. With visitors in town, we decided to stop in for lunch. Upon arrival, the environment felt chaotic, with customers standing throughout the shop and no clear direction on where to wait. We were then abruptly yelled at for where we were standing, despite having received no guidance.
Initially planning to dine in, we decided instead to place a simple takeout order after seeing how disorganized things felt. We ordered three identical sandwiches with no substitutions and were told it would take “no more than 10 minutes.” After waiting 40 minutes, we calmly approached the counter to ask for an update, only to be yelled at again and told we could not stand there and that the order was not ready.
At that point, we decided to leave without the food. Nearly an hour in the shop was more than enough, given the repeated yelling and lack of basic customer service. Several other customers also left while we were there after being ignored or scoffed at for asking to be seated or place an order.
It was honestly shocking to experience such an inhospitable environment at a restaurant so highly praised for its food. Sadly, we never even got the chance to try it. We will not be returning.

What an awesome authentic Italian delicatessen! Tucked away in a corner for cozy atmosphere and felt like I was at my Italian Nona’s house! Loved everything we tried!

5 stars Went to this wonderful restaurant and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely impeccable, and the food was delicious — every dish was perfectly prepared. The owner was so kind and attentive, even checking in to see if we needed anything since we had a baby with us. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality paired with outstanding food. Highly recommend!

The food was really good, and the staff were lovely. Great place for lunch. I recommend the buratta with prosciutto starter and the chicken and artichoke lasagna.
Phenomenal staff that show care and treat you like family. Refreshing to experience after service in many restaurants have decreased lately. Wonderful experience and we will be back!

This place was amazing! Everything was so fresh, & generous portions. The prices reflect on the quality of the food. I came here for breakfast, but will be back for lunch & dinner. The smoked salmon sandwich was phenomenal, I got it on a baguette & the bread was still hot.

My wife and I visited this place many times, always having full menu except our last visit when we wanted only one coffee cappuccino and one croissant for both of us. We expressed our wish to be seated outside and the person in charge told us that the outside seating is only for lunch menu but he agreed to have us seated outside telling us to “ make it quick “. However when the same person in charge came to take our order and we repeated our preference he very rudely expressed his displeasure by gesturing and saying “ uoi”. We never experienced this kind of attitude before, so we got up and left never to return to this place.

What a gem! Food is fabulous. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer your questions. Makes you feel like you stumbled into a small restaurant in Italy. Their bread is to die for. Excellent mimosas made with FRESH squeezed orange juice!! Yum!! Parking is difficult if you don't feel like walking.
