I often ordered lunch from here when working near here. Passed by this place and remembered that it was good, so stopped by for breakfast. Their lunch menu is a good deal. Ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and their portion size is generous. Spaghetti was decent, but I think their bread was slightly disappointing. Overall staff was nice and food was okay.

We have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and the quality of the food and service has declined to the point where we will not return. The icing on the cake was going in for a Friday fish fry just this last week and, it was all you could eat in the restaurant and we got three tiny pieces of fish and cold french fries. When we opened the container we thought it must be a mistake so we took it back to the restaurant and they said that’s what you get for carryout. Not to mention that the rudeness with which message was delivered was unparalleled. If you’re looking for good Italian, go to Giacomo’s. A much better choice.

First time there and definitely going back. Service was excellent. Staff is friendly. Got a build your own 12inch which would have been enough for 2. I personally didn’t like the crust but girlfriend did…lots of topping options. Ours had shrimp…idk if its cooked there or if they use the store bought pre cooked…it looked raw but tasted good. I got the pork chop versuvio or whatever which they charge $1.95 extra for with a side of mostaccioli in meat sauce which was free! Chops were dry and both that and potatoes it comes with were flavorless. Also got mozzarella sticks which were not so good or maybe it was the sauce, still can’t figure that one out. But portions are good. About $25 a person with drinks. Not sure if fountains drinks are free or if they do free refills but got both done during my visit then again we were the last table of the night. My review generally sounds bad but I will definitely find myself back there to try some more items. Have to give it a try.

Salerno’s is a pleasant little family owned Italian restaurant with a surprisingly wide set of menu options. I particularly enjoy their eggplant Parmigiana and have had a craving for it for awhile recently. So, this past Tuesday, when my wife asked where I wanted to go for my birthday I knew exactly where I wanted to go! Large portions of thick eggplant, breaded, and fried golden brown, blanketed with luscious mozzarella cheese, baked beautifully then topped with a stupendous marinara sauce! A generous side of spaghetti along with a side of their incredible sautéed spinach with caramelized chopped garlic made for a terrific meal. My wife enjoys their manicotti and my daughter always enjoys their sausage baked pazzona. We had a delightful young lady for our server who was incredibly attentive as well. We went mid-afternoon, so seating wasn’t an issue but it is somewhat of a limited dine in area so I’m not sure what it’s like for seating at peak meal times. Portions are large, so you’ll certainly have some to take home. They also do carry out.

Absolutely love this place. We have never been here before and would for sure come again. We had the chicken saltimbocca, chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmesan, meatballs, and mostaccoli with meat sauce and everything was excellent and the portions were huge. Our server Carley was super nice and the food came out piping hot and fast.

Doesn’t disappoint. The service was great. The calamari was fresh and crunchy. My kids love it! We love their clam pasta with white sauce! Although the pasta was less compared with past years. the clams they put on it were always generous!

Haven’t visited this place since pre pandemic . Unfortunately it turned out to be another casualty of the Covid era . I do want to say hats off to the three ladies on staff trying to keep it afloat . However the food was just not good . I got a pizza thinking about the old days and how it was doughy fresh and cut into squares but this seemed like the dough may have been over proofed or under ? It also seems the dough was not the same as back when ? My wife had chicken lemoonie and said just horrible . They used to make the grilled calamari with a really good butter sauce and this time it was served with some oil based garlic nasty something ? To me it appeared staffing is not adequate you need two in the back of the house and two taking orders at the least ! To sum it up the good old days are gone and sadly we won’t be going back .

Terrible! The worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The stuffed artichokes were covered in white mush. No flavor, no seasoning, no garlic, nothing – just a wet soggy mess that looked like it was covered with a loaf of white bread. You couldn’t even see the artichoke. To make it worse, it was sitting in a puddle of water! My family ordered the pizza which also had no flavor. The baked clams were gross – same breading, no flavor, just mush. They came out cold, chewy and disgusting. The bathrooms were dirty. There was a puddle of pee on the floor, and the toilets were full of tissue with blood in it. I did tell a worker about it and they went in with a mop. This was a very bad experience and a total waste of money as we left the food behind. I am Italian and this is not authentic at all. Never again.

We haven’t been here in a year or two. We used to love the place. While there was a lot of staff, they only had one person running to all the tables. She did her best, but seeing all the workers behind the counter and not helping was a shame. Food was not up to par. Appetizer took forever. Main course came out before we had a chance to finish appetizer, as it took so long. Pasta was swimming in so much sauce. Chicken Parm was tough and chewy. It was cooked, but could barely cut it with a knife. Beverages took forever to get a refill due to the 1 person being so busy and the only one on the floor,
