I stopped into Salute with a friend for happy hour. The bar area was pretty hopping but we were able to find a seat. The bartender was a little standoffish. We had to ask for the Happy Hour menu since he didn't offer. His general demeanor pretty much stayed uninterested during our sit.
Since we still wanted to try some items, we ordered the Arancini balls, 2 piece Truffle Grissini, and Calamari. The calamari was lackluster. The bland appetizer was definitely a let down. The truffle grissini was better than expected but the prosciutto wrapped breadsticks were on par with the calamari.
What I did like were the Arancini with fontina cheese, ricotta and bolognese. Pretty tasty flavor and melty cheese when you cut into them. If anything I would come back for those. But I wouldn't rush back.
