Salute used to be 5 star, but now it is zero because it does not have a gluten free pasta like most Italian restaurants, making the menu limiting. We will have to go elsewhere in the future.

Salute Restaurant & Bar Bend offers an exceptional fine dining experience with outstanding food. The menu features innovative dishes such as the Little Sicily, Monte Cassino, carbonara, and langostino agnolotti, all crafted with fresh and high-quality ingredients. Guests have praised the handmade ravioli and seafood pesto for their delicious flavors, and the special rack of lamb has been noted as done to perfection. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are competitive for the level of fine dining offered. The restaurant also boasts a unique cocktail menu with well-made drinks and an extensive wine list, including Italian reds and whites. The ambiance is elegant, complemented by vintage-style glasses and thoughtful presentation of dishes. The scallops appetizer is really good and the Wild Boar Ragu is as good as any in Italy. The desserts are sinful and amazing, with cannolis and the Banana Millefeuille being outstanding. The attention to detail is impeccable, and the plate details are beautiful. Service is outstanding and wonderful, with prompt and engaging service. They offer an excellent Happy Hour menu and a quiet atmosphere, excellent for carrying on a conversation. While the food is flavorful and prepared with care and expertise, served with courtesy and enthusiasm, a recent dining experience was impacted by cramped seating.
