Food is okay but service is terrible. I sat next to the kitchen doors and could smell cigarette smoke 🤢. My cup and silverware was dirty too. The older female owner had an awful attitude when speaking to her. I do not recommend

I've been here dozens of times. Their food & staff are 5x stars, always! In fact, I'm writing this review waiting for our lobster ravioli and stuffed seabass!

Tonight's waitress is Destiny she's our favorite! ✅️

We had high hopes for Sal’s after reading so many positive reviews, but unfortunately our experience fell flat—aside from the service. Our server was excellent: very friendly, attentive, and quick.

The food, however, was disappointing. We started with the bruschetta, which turned out to be just a small scoop of tomatoes on a toasted bun. (see photo) My pasta was a step up, but the sauce lacked depth of flavor and the preparation felt sloppy—large, uneven chunks of onion stood out in an unpleasant way.

The salad was also underwhelming (I wish I had taken a photo). It didn’t feel fresh or thoughtfully prepared.

Overall, we appreciated the service, but the quality and presentation of the food did not live up to the reputation or reviews that brought us in.

I drove 2 hours to eat here! It has been over 3 years since I had been coming from Raleigh, NC. Best Italian food I have ever had!

Not especially authentic Italian and over priced. The pasta was cheap quality . The wait staff seemed to have no idea what they were doing. Our finished entree plates were left on the table for 30 min, it was never cleared. Absolutely not fine dining at all, not worth the cost.

Family owned Italian spot! Pretty tasty. I got spaghetti and meatballs. The waiter was extremely accommodating to diet restrictions. Cute environment ! I think salad should have better quality leaves, but the marinara sauce was delicious.
