Delicious, inside the place was simple but elegant, the service while we sat at the bar was grat. It is one of the best places for Italian food in Chicagoland!

We absolutely love coming to Sal’s for the incredible food, ambience, and warm attentive staff. You cannot go wrong, but we recently enjoyed the bone marrow, fettuccine carbonara and branzino. Our parents were delighted by the rigatoni bolognese and trout dishes. For dessert, we were wowed by an apple pie panna cotta and gelato. We look forward to checking out the spring menu!

A very cozy environment with warm aesthetics. Had a birthday dinner and recieved excellent service. Beet salad was fresh and tasty, Rigatoni was very good and desert with birthday candle topped the night off. Nice neighborhood authentic Italian restaurant.

One of my new Chicago favorites. Great food (we had the eggplant parmesan and the Amatriciana) and they are both big hits.
The atmosphere was fantastic, service was excellent, and food was as close to Italy as we have found stateside.

Reservations, definitely is, "that good". Friendly bar staff if you have to wait. Great staff service for the tables. Wonderful menu. I had the chowder, TDF! Lots of people packed in a small place but the food on the menu is what brings you here. No one in our party had a bad meal and we each ordered something different. The 🔥 dishes are spicy hot, fyi.

Reeeelly good food. A little more upscale but right in a cute neighborhood, with quiet outdoor seating during the summer. Great for a date night

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Sal's Trattoria is the place to go! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations.
We started with three appetizers to share, and they were all fantastic. Each dish had its own unique flair, but the standout was definitely the calamari—perfectly cooked, crisp, and flavorful. Everyone at the table agreed it was the star of the starters.
As for the main courses, they somehow managed to outshine the appetizers! Each plate was crafted with care, bursting with authentic flavors that left us all savoring every bite. The chefs here truly know how to elevate classic dishes into something extraordinary.
And the highlight of the night? The service. Our server was not only efficient but also hilariously charming. His timing was impeccable, and his witty banter added so much to the experience. Hands down, he ranks among the top servers I’ve ever had.
Sal’s Trattoria delivered on every front—phenomenal food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that made the evening unforgettable. Can’t wait to return!
Kid-friendliness: Was very friendly and accommodating to both of our younger children 7 and under.
