Salute ! Restaurant, Sarasota, Florida Restaurant Details

Food:

Great eggplant! Great Gnocchi! And servers could not be nicer.

Food:

I love eggplant parmagiana and this tasted like they bought it frozen and heated it and then reheated it. Soggy and tasteless. Very disappointed.

Pepsi was watered down with no fizz. Not everyone drinks wine. They put ice in a warm Pepsi

The carpaccio however was excellent so it was not a total waste.

Waiter was great, service good, The guy who took us to our table acted like he would rather be back in Italy. I wish we had gone to the Thai place we started out to go to.

Great location!

Food:

Sorry to see so many negative reviews. We've been only once but had a very enjoyable meal. We ate at the bar and were well taken care of. We shared some bruscetta, a pasta dish and the veal chop. All were outstanding in appearance and taste. Prices were commensurate with the quality. Would definitely recommend and return.

Food:

As a tradition every year with my family, we have been coming here for 3 years. It was always for the good food, and excellent service. But Most of all, for Anna. The wife of one of the owners, who is honest and true spirit make one feel more than welcome. However, we have noticed this year, she is no longer there. I asked the waiter and he said he thought she may be on vacation. Notably there are many changes. This time it took TWICE the time for a waiter to notice we were there.Also, i observed the bus and wait staff struggling to just fill/ refill water glasses , our entrees did not come at the same time, and the quality of the food has declined. Mushy pasta, cold fish, and the same boring potato and vegetable. Last but not least, they tried to trick me with a chocolate torte that I KNOW was not made by Anna. Because Anna's desserts are distinct in flavour. When i asked the server who was making the desserts now he replied "Most likely from a box". Which we observed upon visiting the lady who is handling the sweets. Obviously there are many changes from the front to the back, Most of all the presence of Anna.

Food:

OK for a place that RIPS OFF ITS EMPLOYEES ANYCHANCE THEY GET.
They are the only Italian family owned restaurant that refuses to give their employees ANYTHING TO EAT, not bread, pasta NOTHING!!!!
They also make the waiters/ waitresses "tip out" only to steal half back and pay the bus boys.
Wont eat here again as I care about how people are treated. Just another arrogant group of "Italians" coming to our town, to do what they want.
