This is a tough review to give because I wanted it to be amazing, and I love giving 5 🌟 to "Mom and Pop" restaurants. Unfortunately, I feel it didn't live up to the 4.6 rating (at the time of this review). You walk into a small entry way that seems like it should be a waiting area; however, there were tables there, so waiting to be seated was kind of awkward. The amount of time standing waiting to be acknowledged was also awkward, to the point we were about to leave when the gentleman came to seat us. I was digging the atmosphere. It's dark, almost speakeasy-esque, with Sinatra playing, candles on the table, etc. We were quickly given bread and water by a very polite gentleman, and our server was quickly behind him to follow up with our wine requests. Menu pricing was very good. I ordered the Pollo Cognac with a side of penne and red sauce. My wife got the cheese ravioli with the red sauce. We both got Ceasar salads. The salads were good, but it kind of fell off from there. When dinner was served, we asked for parmesean and was directed to the kraft grated cheese in the Pizza Hut style shaker on the table. No fresh grated, which seemed odd for what was expected to be a bit upscale and authentic. My Pollo cognac was ok. I know the menu said a hint of sweet, but the sweet garlic sauce was more sweet than garlic and was more reminiscent of a sweet queso. My side of pasta and red sauce was very bland. The sauce tasted straight from a can, and the pasta didn't seem freshly cooked. My wife's raviolli were for sure boiled from frozen. They looked like what you would get in a bag at the store and was also tossed in the same flavorless sauce. Overall, the food was cafeteria quality, so I would not go back. I'm sorry. I wanted to like it. The server was good, but the food just wasn't up to expectations.

To preface, Salvatore's is part of the Garozzo's family. It used to be called Garozzo's Due until the early 2000's. You'll see 'Sam' (Salvatore) the owner seating people and helping out! It's so nice to see a 'hands-on' owner. This has always been a family operated restaurant. Absolutely outstanding experience here this evening about 4pm. We ordered the Sicilian stuffed Artichoke for an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. The freshly squeezed lemon on top really sent this dish over the top! Our server was very attentive and took the artichoke back after we had eaten the top and broke the rest down for us and quartered the heart. We could tell there was a bit more stuff on it as well. Our server also paid close attention to when we nearly finished our courses to put the order in for the next course. She was truly fabulous. As soon as we finished our appetizer, she was there with our salads and just as we were finished with those she brought our entrées. It was so nice not having all our food crammed at us before we were ready for it. She kept the bread, tea, and water filled without us having to ask. She took things to the next level and cleared our dishes, and wiped off our table off in between courses! Moving on, we ordered the Samantha Spiedini chicken pasta dish (my fav) and grilled chicken alfredo for our entrees. We probably won't get the grilled chicken Alfredo again as we love the char on the Spedini better, but the alfredo was on point. We took home at least half our entrees so we could share the lemon cream cake for dessert. It's so light and refreshing. It was an excellent choice to end this meal.

Excellent experience....Clean and tidy with outstanding service! Knowledgeable waiter who didn't hesitate to answer all questions we had and throughly explained the menu:)

My fiancé and I have been here a couple times and again we are not disappointed. The atmosphere and food were amazing and if you come to Salvatore’s you will NOT be disappointed. Call ahead for reservations would be my advice because they are a popular place. Our waiter was very attentive without being overly attentive. Great service great food!! Next date night call ahead and , enjoy!!

Maybe it was just that it was a loud night or something, but it really wasn't something outstanding in the way of food. I got the Tour of Italy, and while it did taste good, it wasn't anything that stood out. I know others have said it is a go-to when trying out new things, so.maybe I was just having an off night, bit it just wasn't high on the list.of Italian restaurants I have gone to by comparison. Portions were huge, so worth the price paid.

Great place for dinner! The wife and I stopped for our 10th anniversary having never been but always driving by. The maitre di sala greeted us with a warm, friendly smile and were seated right away with a pleasant candle lit table for two. The young man who brought water and bread while we decided on our meals was very polite. Our server, Eden greeted us and assisted with menu items. We had shrimp fettuccine alfio and three way pasta with the meatball. Our salads were promptly served and a refill of bread. Perfect timing, Eden severed our meal and EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! Fresh and tasty, the pasta was fantastico! Our entire visit was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves, the service was top notch and everyone we met was very polite. There was a birthday person, which they sang happy birthday in Italian (no obnoxious show or non sense, very classy and professional). Yes, we'll return to Salvatore's, sorry we hadn't tried them sooner. Tip: If you order the Three Way Pasta, it is a huge serving, I knew this and planned to have the take home for lunch the next day, however this serving was healthy enough it provided dinner for two the next day. Pictured is the Three Way Pasta, you don't see the ravioli and mostaccioli under the mound of spaghetti but it's there, moved it around slightly for the photo, delicious and very filling...you've been warned. Eden, thank you for the prompt, friendly and personal service we received, we appreciate you! Finche' non ti rivedremo

We've been here many times 1 of our truly favorite places to eat.. Everything was great from start to finish. The wait staff could not have been better including our waiter who took care of us well. They're famous for Chicken Soedini and was excellent. We both had the D'Angelo but there are plenty of choices. Italian butter as a starter was very good with there sliced bread. Spumoni was the perfect ending. We will always come back here

This is like a little hidden gem. Food was delicious. My first time trying fried calamari. I’d love to try this place again. Very authentic Italian food.

Always a delightful dining experience, and the food is consistently AMAZING. This restaurant has been an important part of my life for over 25 years and Sam has done an excellent job continuing the success while maintaining the personal, family feel that originally made this place great. Thank you for that. 🙏 Garozzo spiedini is the only spiedini for me.

First time eating here , we loved every min of it.. My guy Trey was very good at his job.. The service is and was on point ... Can't forget about Josh who was the host very professional and kept us comfortable while we were waiting... ( Congrats on your new niece or nephew... We will most definitely return ....

Very comfortable, intimate. Romantic atmosphere, service was amazing.. young guy new to the United States from Belize he was awesome. The food was fantastic! Will definitely be going back! Thanks!

We come here every December for my step moms birthday dinner. She is a gourmet cook and she chooses this restaurant every year. The food is great and the ambience is amazing. I ordered the chicken spidieni. I probably butchered that spelling but I’m sure that you all know what I mean. They are famous for it. Food was delicious service was phenomenal. We had two tables with about 12 of us and one girl took on the whole lot of us. She did fantastic. I wish I would have gotten her name to give her a shout out.

I never knew this place existed until I got to celebrate a friends birthday there. If you like Garrozos in Kansas , then you will love this place. They sing happy birthday in Italian. Very nice.

Came in for dinner based upon reviews and a referral from a friend, the place is a little bit busy when I got there but they were very accommodating! I can definitely understand why the place is busy after trying the food, plus the service was pretty exceptional for the volume of customers. Atmosphere is top notch with just a little old world charm mixed in. Great place for family dinner or a fun night out. I've only been a few places where I had the kind of experience I had here, they make you feel like an old friend and an honored guest! Thanks to the whole team for a great experience, I'll be back soon!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, not only a great selection of Italian food but delicious Italian food. A must go to place if you like Italian.

On a little adventure for an item for our new porch led us to Blue Springs, MO area.  My wife located this Italian restaurant and decided to give it a try.  A quaint no frills restaurant from the outside, warm and inviting on the inside.  Being early in the week, it wasn't busy and we were seated immediately.  We ordered the Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms, our only issue, there were only five succulent mushrooms in a rich cheese sauce.  I guess we needed room for the meal.  :-) We shared an order of Scampi Evola with a side order of Alfredo Linguine and a Caeser salad. Everything was absolutely delicious, the croutons were light in the salad (we felt the salad could have been cooler) but it was good.  It was clear to us the meal was cooked with Love.  Our server, Elizabeth was great, very knowledgeable and courteous.  After the meal, the manager stopped by, we did not get her name (or I forgot it), she explained the restaurant had been owned by the same Italian restaurant (Garazzos) that had closed in Wichita, KS during Covid.  An absolute favorite of my wife when she lived there.  We ordered the Tiramisu to go, they wrapped it up for our long drive back home.  It was a delicate creamy, chocolate and coffee piece of heaven. We will have to do a repeat visit.

We came here for my mother in laws Birthday and it was amazing! All the food was great. Highly recommend and we will be back. Try the veal with fried eggplant or the spiedini D'Angelo. Both amazing!

This is my experience that I had on valentines, given the day and it being busy I expect our food to take extra time to come out but it took the waiter 15 minutes to bring us water and bread then another 10 minutes to take our order and drinks, after all that we got our salad and soup before the appetizer and then another 30 minutes goes by and we finally got our food which was mediocre at best the sauce was warm to cool and very watery this place went down hill from 4 years ago and I will not be going back anytime soon.

First time dinning here. Made reservations and was seated within 5 minutes. Service was wonderful. The menu is full of choices, enough to please anyone. I had the Lasagna, added meat sauce, it was perfect. The girls had Chicken Spiedini, Fred had the Tour of Italy. We all had left overs! I look forward to dinning there again.

Took my Mom for Mother’s Day lunch. It was phenomenal service, excellent food. Enjoyed it immensely. It’s a neighborhood place my mom and stepdad have been going to for years. In fact my wedding celebration party after we came back from Florida wedding was catered by this restaurant in 2007. Consistent quality of food and always friendly and knowledgeable servers who care about the customer experience. Thank you for being a staple and authentic place to go that has a warm neighborhood feel with stellar food and staff.

Quick seating on the last Saturday in April about 90 minutes prior to closing. Great variety of Italian dishes. I enjoyed the chicken over angel hair pasta. Their bread was wonderful. Service was on point. We took advantage of fewer guests to obtain some advice from our server to tour the next day. I will be back.

I love this place. The food is amazing and the staff always makes you feel at home. The management is awesome and obviously have standards to ensure it’s the same quality every time. Better than v’s any day.

Great food and awesome service - our server Matt was the best, made sure all our needs were met and had great recommendations. Will definitely come back!

This place is wonderful and their service is great! It is my birthday and my grandparents aren't mobile anymore so I wanted to order to go so I could enjoy it with them. They went above and beyond. We are new to Salvatores so we weren't familiar with their hours. We drove up there to see if they had Togo menus since my grandparents have difficulty viewing online. They weren't open yet but did manage to speak to someone inside who offered an old menu to us to take home. It made the process so much easier! I sincerely appreciate them! The food was hot and delicious. It was packed and wrapped to avoid any leaks as well. If I could rate you higher I would! Thank you!

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was eight years old I am now 27, I will continue to come here, please pray this restaurant never gets shut down, it’s amazing, homemade pasta, homemade sauce, the bread with dipping oil. It’s all perfect. The family is so nice!

Had a great dinner. The hosts are always very welcoming, waiters always attentive and the food is delicious. Thank you Hunter for a great service.

First time here, what a wonderful restaurant! I highly suggest making reservations. Seating is a little cramped and when busy, atmosphere is very loud but overall was a great experience. Our server Hannah was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely be back!

This place never disappoints. Food stands alone on merit. Love the staff so welcoming. Offered to turn down music and tv. Yep, i have become old. They didn't make me feel bad about it. We all had a good laugh. Good for a date night!
