Sal's Caffe Italia

Eggplant Parmesan was fantastic. Excellent flavor, sliced very thin thus very tender. Great service. Looking forward to a return visit

Seems a little overpriced for what you get... Food is just average - the best thing was the complementary basket of bread. Service was just 'meh', especially for the 20% tip that they surprise you with at the end... The atmosphere is very nice though...

It was good. Service was great. Employees were attentive and kind. Prices were seemed about right (not too expensive) for being a nice looking restaurant on the downtown mall. Ordered pasta, pizza, and took home a tiramisu. They have a few vegetarian options. Complimentary bread was nice. Pizza was a good pizza. Pasta and tiramisu were bomb. Would definitely go back. Seems like it would be a nice spot for a summer lunch date where you eat outside. Also looked like they had a couple good cocktails, but didnt order any this time.

BLUF: Overpriced for cheap frozen/boxes/bagged Italian food, served luke warm by wait staff that don't care. Food: Extremely expensive for obviously not fresh ingredients. Food came out warm, Mushrooms and shrimp were rubbery, chicken tasted frozen. Service: Server was very curt, and feels like they dismissed us from the get-go as not being good tippers likely due to our attire. Other tables got attention, and we frequently waited an extended amount of time for basic things from them such as, taking out order, clearing our food, getting the check. Other tables were getting quick service. Having worked wait staff that is the rudest thing you can do to a table. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was at least nice, I enjoyed the decor. What is keeping this from being 5 stars is because there were clearly far too many tables for the space as it was hard to maneuver and the bathroom smelled disgusting.
