| - I've read many good reviews about Salerno"s and I've come to a realization...don't believe what others write !
Fathers day brought me to this restaurant and so did my daughter, the place sits in a strip mall and the inside is rather depressing.
We were seated and it was extremely warm inside...we were approached by the wait staff and I questioned the temperature inside and she shrugged her shoulders. I decided to have a glass of wine, I usually buy a bottle but I was the only one drinking. I asked the wait staff if wine was a good seller here and she responded, "You ask a lot of questions: I responded jokingly " You haven't heard them yet " Her response was "oh shit" Oh well what do you expect, we were in a strip mall.
The salad that paired up with the main entree was boring like the decor, warm spring mix with a few limp shredded carrots slivers. That"s it folks !
We ordered ravioli and I also ordered a meatball and Italian sausage which was forgotten when the raviolis were served. We also ordered a small pizza with eggplant and anchovy . The pizza served to us was minus the anchovy and when I kindly brought it to the servers attention, her response was " You're shitting me" No I wasn't there wasn't any. She told me she would comp the pie, nice gesture but I didn't come for a free meal, I'm lying, Fathers day, meal on daughter. None the less.
The cheese ravioli was alright, nothing to dream about and the red sauce was red.
The Italian sausage was over cooked , hard on the outside and dry on the inside, the ball of meat was, well, you know, a meat ball. After an Italian dinner I want to burp garlic and taste the food for a few hours after, the only experience my buds are having now is dryness.
Bread and butter were brought to us right when we were seated bur the butter in those little packets was liquefied, and I was melting too because it was very warm inside.
So, not to rain on anyone"s parade that loves this place, I have to disagree, and as the waitress would say, I'm not Sh--ting you.
