Trattoria Salve - Durham

Let me begin with the great! The Lasagna! Yummo! I tried different cocktails, all fabulous. Now the not so great...I ordered a half Caesar salad and a friend ordered the whole Caesar salad and they were nearly the same size. The whole salad should of been MUCH larger for The cannoli was not my favorite. I did not like the flavoring in the cheese. Our server. I think she was new. Very awkward. I have been a waitress and wanted to give her a few tips but resisted. Do not ask us every minutes if we need anything and stand there when we say no. It was very awkward. If our water glasses are below half full, fill them, don't ask. Our conversation was CONSTANTLy interrupted, very frustrating. She did give us very good suggestions on drinks and food options. Then stood there and stared at us after we said we want to wait on our drinks. She was very sweet but just needs more practice. The lasagna and cocktails won the star rating.

The place was nice enough and service was ok but the food was not very good we all ordered The Bolognese pasta dish and it was dry, did not fit the description that was described on the menu and tasted old!!

Had a wonderful meal with a friend. Their new menu has a great selection of pasta, dinners and flatbreads.

Trattoria Salve is amazing the food is delicious. The tomato sauce is savory not sweet like other Italian restaurants and the staff is amazing especially Evan and Dustin they know their wines and their cocktails they can pair it with any dish on the menu.

The catch of the day was Salmon over risotto. My friends loved it. I had eggplant parmigiana and was disappointed. There were thick pieces of baked eggplant layered with sauce and mozzarella. The eggplant was mushy and it just was not good.
