This was our second time here, and the food was as great as we remembered. The reason I didn't give it a 5 Star review was because the service was pretty bad. Our waitress took our order promptly, and our starter was served quickly. But we had a long wait for the entree and my husband ordered another glass of wine, which never came. I sincerely hope Katelyn will become a better server, she's a very sweet girl. And finally, we were seated in the back room, and while the restaurant is decorated beautifully, this back room lacks any kind of ambiance. Next time we make a reservation I will ask to be seated in the main dining room. The food was , as I said earlier, delicious and the portions are huge. We traveled almost an hour to get there but it's worth it

Gave this a 4 star mainly because of hidden costs. Food was good but not outstanding.

Best Italian in the Lancaster/ Teasing area. I love the atmosphere and of course the food. The owner is almost always there going from table to table.

You can't get a better chef then Chef Johnny ! He's an artistic culinary genius who masters his craft ! The desserts are to die for and if you haven't been there yet it's because your friends are keeping it a secret from you ! Friendly staff , and well ... absolutely GREAT FOOD ! You might have a favorite if you are a regular but the specials will tent you to want to try everything and eat here every day of the week that they are open . and don't forget the Sunday gravy !

Delectable dinners, amazing and friendly staff and excellent ambiance. A few years ago we started celebrating all of our family birthdays and accomplishments here. The owner Gio is truly an artist with his creations. Food is amazing.

This place is a gem. Our server Lauren was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. My wife had the eggplant parm and I had the Sunday Gravy and both were excellent. We were seated in a booth which allowed privacy but at the same time able to look throughout the restaurant. This is truly the Italian restaurant you must try.

Came here with my Mom when visiting PA. Giovanni was incredibly welcoming as he is a long-time friend of my Mom's. The atmosphere was what I expected of a higher-end Italian restaurant and almost all of the tables were full, even at 7:30. It was a little loud as a result but not offputting and once we were in our booth, it was easy to talk. I started out with an alcoholic beverage (mojito) and it was quite good. We ordered dinner at the same time because we knew it was getting closer to closing. I ordered the scallops over angel hair pasta and my Mom ordered the seasonal special of Saltimbocca. Both dishes were well presented but VERY salty for our palate. It was hard to get past the salt to taste the food flavor. I'm hoping it was an off night, and I'll definitely return as I'm interested in tasting some other menu items they have to offer. Pricing was average for the food type and atmosphere. Service was outstanding.

Hey, whaddaya know, it's my first review update... well, ever. And this one really is long overdue, folks. Let's jump right in. Salute has a supremely gifted staff from front to back. And it all starts at the top. There's never a night Giovanni isn't out in the dining room greeting each and every table. Then it's back in the kitchen, expediting and working his magic at the peak of dinner hour. A true maestro. The last trip really encapsulates this. We arrive for our reservation, receive a warm greeting at the door, and snag the last free booth. Server, Michelle, is great. Charming, knowledgeable, astute - you name it. App comes out (fried mozz, one of life's simple pleasures), then salads and bread, everything is humming along nicely. Giovanni has already stopped by and said hello. It's Mom's birthday, so she goes a little hog wild and gets the special filet, medium rare. When it comes out, it honestly looks like a pack of dogs had already gone a few rounds with it. The filet wasn't even in one piece. Legit it looked like someone had just taken a cleaver and whacked it a few times with a cleaver. On top of that, the temp was wrong and the meat was tough. Personally, it takes a lot for me to send something back, but after seeing my mom try to chew on this thing, and the fact that the steak visually was just so far below our expectation, it just seemed appropriate to notify our server. Heather comes back, takes a look at the steak and could immediately tell something was off. By this time, I had taken a few bites of my Day Boat Scallops and found the angel hair pasta was overcooked to the point it had all clumped together to form a sort of giant dough ball. I told Heather that the scallops were fantastic and I wasn't trying to send it back, but sadly the pasta had turned to complete mush. It took her a split second to say, "You know what? I'm going to take that back as well if you don't mind." She apologized and hurried back to the kitchen. Within about 10 minutes fresh new dishes were brought out, this time cooked to absolute perfection. Giovanni once again stopped by the table to check up on things. No excuses, just genuine sincerity and the hope that we received dishes that met the standard we had been so accustomed to. As any good owner should, Giovanni appreciated the fact that it was brought to the kitchen's attention. That's how a staff doesn't get complacent. Michelle was apologetic from that point of the meal on and even offered a free dessert to take home, which my mom happily took her up on. We assured her that this would absolutely not deter us from future visits. Salute has been my family's preferred destination for fancy Italian dinners to celebrate special occasions. It will remain that way until further notice!
