Great food.

Sal's Trattoria offers a cozy retreat with a vibrant atmosphere. We started with the shrimp and sausage appetizer, which was truly a standout! For the main course, I opted for the Spaghetti Carbonara - rich and comforting, it hit all the right notes. My partner enjoyed the Fettuccine with Roasted Rabbit, which was intriguing and delicious. Dessert was a must; the blueberry cheesecake was decadent. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially considering how busy they were. Overall, a lovely dining experience! 🍝

I recently dined at Sal’s Trattoria, and it was a delightful experience! The cozy, romantic atmosphere made for a perfect evening. We started with the burrata - an absolute must with its rich tomato jam and pesto - simply divine!

For the main, the cacio e pepe was creamy and comforting, while the fusilli had such a great flavor. The service was attentive, despite the popularity of the place; it's wise to book a reservation or get there early!

Just a heads-up: on busy nights, you might wait a bit longer for your table. Still, the amazing desserts made it all worth it! Can’t wait for my next visit!

I had a lovely evening at Sal's Trattoria!

The cozy atmosphere immediately draws you in. We started with the burrata - absolutely divine with its rich, creamy texture and delightful tomato jam! For the main course, I couldn't resist the cacio e pepe, which was perfectly seasoned and oh-so-satisfying.

The service was attentive, though it did get a tad busy, so I'd recommend an early reservation. 🍝

Make sure to save room for their fantastic desserts; they truly are a highlight! Can't wait to return!✨
