Morgan our waiter was very patient with us. It was our first time going. food was great. drinks were great. We all had a great Saturday brunch. Andrew, staff, were extremely nice.
Had a fantastic time, as always. Food and wine are absolutely delicious and the staff is lovely. Brought my mom for her first visit and she had the best experience.
We visited last weekend and everything was great, until the end of the night. Our group of eight had already paid our server and was just waiting for a few friends to finish their wine. It wasn’t like Joe was waiting on us to settle the bill; everything was already taken care of. Yet, it felt like he was ready to go home, and it wasn’t even 9:45 PM. Suddenly, the lights went off while we were still sitting there, which was surprising, especially since your Saturday hours are listed as open until 11 PM. We had also tipped Joe generously, so the experience was disappointing and, unfortunately, has left us feeling like we probably won’t be back.

Great choice for a casual lunch, We enjoyed our sandwiches. Very good wine selections, very good service. Also a great choice for breakfast
Everything about this place is 100%. But make sure to come when Xander is working. He loves what he does, he’s an artist with his cocktails, and makes the best espresso martinis on Long Island.

We have been coming here for years since josh and lily opened the place. We love the food and all of the different selections that they offer.It's something different and we really enjoy it. Unfortunately, we have gone to happy hour twice, which is a great deal by the way only to find ourselves never wanting to return. Andrew and the other waitstaff just congregate at the bar and ignore customers. Andrew is fixated on the laptop and the other servers along with the bartender, just engage in personal conversations and they ignore the very few people at the bar. You would think that when it's slow, they would capitalize on making relationships to build their happy hour so patrons return. Andrew can easily sit in the market area with his laptop and not make customers uncomfortable when they're being ignored. He didn't once look up or acknowledge us. He should also give the directive to the servers and bartender that when it's slow, it's their time to dedicate yourselves to the customers instead of engaging in personal conversation and excluding customers which is awkward and uncomfortable when you are on the receiving end. We've given happy hour a try twice and we were met with the same exact set of circumstances. Andrew can easily go to the back tables or table in the market to use their laptop but instead, it is an unprofessional display and lack of hospitality and service. With two servers, a bartender and Andrew, all congregating by the bar with Andrew fixated on his laptop, we were waiting twenty to thirty minutes for refills on our drinks and there were only 2 other people at the bar. Both times we would have ordered additional tapas, but no one ever came to check on us. It really is a shame because this place used to be so awesome. It's just become too casual when it comes to basic customer service and the staff could care less about the caliber of service that they deliver. We felt like an intrusion instead of being welcomed. This place used to be awesome and the team used to be warm, friendly and engaging. We have choices where to spend our money and we used to often choose salumi but unfortunately, they have made us go elsewhere because of poor service. We will definitely miss the awesome food.

Very low-key, relaxed vibe. Cordial, attentive service. Shared a number of small plates from salad, entree and dessert and all were delicious and beautifully prepared.
As always, Salumi did not disappoint. The Spanish board was excellent and quantity of meats and cheeses and other goodies was great. We love the atmosphere and look to going there when we need a night to relax and enjoy good food and wine!!
Absolutely delicious way to start the New Year. Thank you Salumi staff for a great experience.

Have never been disappointed. Great vibe with a menu that's inspired and constantly refreshed.
This place always hits with great food, wine and service- but last night was next level. Josh made CERTAIN that I found the perfect wine for the moment and the food was out of this world. Always a welcoming, cozy, elevated atmosphere. You can tell staff are knowlegable and interested in wine and cocktails with the service provided. Great experience all around.

### Salumi Wine Bar: A Private Party Done Right
Attended a private party at Salumi recently, and it was a great experience all around.
The food and snacks were definitely the highlight – everything was delicious and kept coming at just the right pace.
- Cheese board with plenty of options
- Pizza-style appetizer
- Shrimp dish
- Bone marrow
- Fluffy bread that was perfect for scooping and sharing
Everything was served family-style, which made it easy to try a bit of it all. The pairings with the wines were spot-on – each glass elevated the food without overpowering it, and the selection was excellent throughout the night.
Service was smooth, glasses stayed full, and the staff handled the group effortlessly.
If you get the chance to book Salumi for a private event (or just swing by on a regular night), do it. The food, wine, and overall vibe made for a memorable evening.

My husband and I have been coming to this place for years now and we love it but not until last night. The long beard guy told us the wait was about 20-30mins. He only offered us we could stay if we want and order something at the bar while waiting for a table because 3 more couples came in after. I heard him saying “no tables at the moment, wait is about 20-30mins, they could stay, will call out once tables are ready”. He started taking down names on 3 couples who came after; never ours! So I was a little annoyed, saw couple leaving the bar area, and I rushed to seat down since we came 1st. 20 mins had passed, 3 couples have tables, but the long beard guy never came to us if still needed one, nor even asked if we’re good at the bar. Never even bothered looking at us. We are Asian btw. I refuse to think it’s about racism. I am very disappointed, Salumi. If this guy is just an employee, please do not allow him to ruin your reputable place. If he is one of the owner, please do better and treat everyone fairly.

The food and wine was excellent . Everything came out quickly and we were left to just enjoy our grazing of a board and some tapas. The place is dark, romantic and the perfect place for our anniversary night.
