What User likes about Sal's Trattoria:
Sal’s is a beautiful spot for authentic Italian fare. I have been here three times, and have yet to be disappointed by any dish. You can enjoy conversation and they have good reasonable wine. The space is the perfect size to retain a sense of intimacy. I’m so happy there is a restaurant of this caliber in the neighborhood. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Sal's Trattoria:
Poor food ruined what could have been a good experience. Over cooked pasta with a mediocre sauce...I've had better out of a jar at home. Poor quality steak with salty, heavy sauce. Staff was great, good service! View all feedback.

This place is the best! Great addition to the neighborhood. Will keep coming back quite frequently!

I thought the place was good with nice staff. I would recommend for date night, friend hang out or family dinner.

Truly the best Italian food in the city. The mussels are insane. We sopped up every bit of the sauce left. Wait staff is also great but their hostess is so unpl...

The shrimp and sausage over mashed potato appetizer dish was one of the best, more of a dish than a shareable appetizer but very good. Ordered the chicken parme...
