Salvatore - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was primarily negative due to a lack of vegetarian options. While the pizza was ok, scoring a 6/10 overall, the overall experience was somewhat disappointing. I was surprised that they didn't have basic items like chilli flakes or even marinara sauce. Additionally, unlike most Italian restaurants that offer complimentary fresh bread, that was not the case here. The Tira was also mentioned but no further details were provided.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was great, and I loved that they always have something new to try. It's definitely worth asking about their rotating specials. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was also very good, rated a 4 out of 5. They have a large vegetarian selection and are highly recommended for vegetarians. Parking was easy with free street parking, and reservations were not required. We experienced no wait time.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing! The olive oil for the bread was the best I've ever had. While I wouldn't order the mushrooms app again, it was still tasty. The pizza and the Chianti were sooooo good! The waiter was fantastic, and the prices are very reasonable. The only way this place could be better is with low lit lighting and some red walls.

My experience at Salvatore's was exceptional! It truly felt like the next best thing to being in Italy. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the overall experience was top-notch. I absolutely love this place!

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was comfortable and pleasant. While the service by one waiter was a bit burly, it didn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyable experience.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The chairs were not comfortable, and the mens room toilet seat was laying on its side, next to the toilet. Both of our pasta dishes were undercooked, which is unacceptable, especially for an Italian restaurant. The boar meat was flavorful but had too much grizzle. I asked for lemon for my water, but was told it wasn't allowed, even though they had lemons for the expensive martinis.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service and atmosphere were great, with the server being particularly memorable. However, the pasta was lacking, especially considering the price. On a positive note, the bread was good.

I casually walked in for dinner and was blown away. The squid ink tagliatelle was delicious, and the scallops were cooked perfectly. However, the Carbonara was a bit overcooked. Their bread isn’t complimentary but is definitely worth getting.

I've visited this place several times and each time I've left feeling thoroughly pleased with both the service and the food. What truly impresses me is the exceptional value you get for your money—fresh Italian cuisine and attentive service that never feels overpriced. I can enjoy a full meal, including an appetizer, entree, wine, dessert, and coffee, without ever feeling like I've spent more than the experience was worth. The service here is a standout—personalized and thoughtful. The staff take their time to walk you through the numerous specials, striking a perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering. The restaurant is nestled in a vibrant, eclectic neighborhood in Seattle, and the ambiance has that cozy, old-school Italian charm that makes you feel right at home. I tend to gravitate toward the specials rather than the regular menu entrees, and I’ve never been disappointed. The dishes are prepared with simplicity and freshness in mind, proving that the best meals don’t need to be overly complicated. On my last visit, I had the ossobuco, which were absolutely phenomenal—though generous enough to share. Since it’s one of the specials, don’t count on it being a permanent fixture on the menu. We usually cap off the meal with dessert, and the bread pudding paired with a glass of Moscato is a real treat, followed by a double-shot espresso that’s the perfect finish. My advice? Go all in—get the full experience with all the courses, wine, and dessert. Dive into the specials; with so many options, you’re bound to find something that hits the spot.

I dined here with my family on the evening of February 14th. The place was packed, and there was a long wait, but it was absolutely worth it. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy, though also crowded. The service felt a bit rushed, which was understandable given that it was Valentine’s Day on a Friday evening!
