Diner Reviews
  • "Enjoyed our dinner on a very rainy evening. Waiter extremely helpful with wine, appetizer and entree suggestions. All were great! Seafood risotto was creamy and full of fresh seafood…shrimp, calamari, mussels. Seafood pasta also a winner. Would definitely revisit Salute when back in Sarasota."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "There were three of us for an early bird dinner. There is good variety in the available selections. The appetizers, entree, and desserts were excellent. The service was top-notch. The formal dining room has a formal, yet comfortable ambience. Experience was a bit reduced by an older group that must have forgotten their hearing aids. We would definitely recommend Salute! for dinner."

  • "The early bird menu is great. Loved the lasagna. The calamari was delicious and our waiter David very helpful."

  • "We arrived right at opening time and we're greeted warmly by the maitre d, and seated at our favorite table (we've been there several times). Alex was our waiter (again!), and our service was personable and efficient. As always, the food was excellent, and the portions were large for their summer early bird menu. We'll be back soon."

  • "Four of us had dinner here and had four different appetizers and dinners. all were excellent. My salmon was the most tasty that I have had in a year. Hats off to the chef."
    Dined on 6/18/2014
  • "This was my first time dining here. The menu had so many choices, I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. The food was attractive, delicious and served in good portions. The service was attentive but not "in your face." There was plenty of space indoors and outside for a nice choice of dining. The wine cellar room looked cozy and romantic."

  • "I did not expect an Italian restaurant to have gluten free choses. I thought I would be eating soup and salad. Thank you for the amazing risotto!"
    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "As a year round in-town favorite, Salute did not disappoint as six of us enjoyed the Savor Sarasota menu. There were several selections for each of the three course menu offerings. All were flavorful and a value for this annual summertime event. Six entree offerings, from fish and veal to pastas and Italian favorites. Service was friendly, pleasant and efficient as expected at Salute. Always a consistently good downtown choice."

  • "Tucked back behind Main Street - Fabulous Italian spot. Homemade pasta is delicious and gelato is to die for. Try the wine from the owner's vineyard!"
    Dined on 6/11/2014
  • "Good pasta selection (our guests live in Florence 3-4 months a year) and good wine choices. BUT....the most impressive thing.......they actually waited until all of us (4) had finished eating before they cleared the dishes. A rare thing today!! We all wished other restaurants would follow."
    Dined on 6/6/2014
  • "Savor Sarasota- Very good selection for very reasonable price. Generous portions. Food was delicious. Tiramisu and Canoli deserts are excellent. Restaurant crowded and they may have been short one server."
    Dined on 6/7/2014
  • "This was our first visit and as a bonus the first night of Savor Sarasota. We were very pleased. My husband had the grouper and I had the salmon and we both raved about it. One of our friends had veal and he said it was a bit chewy but all the fish Easters were very pleased. "

  • "Francesca was our server and she was top notch!!! Great personality and very attentive. Will definitely be going back again soon"
    Dined on 5/16/2014
  • "The overall atmosphere of this restaurant is not the best. I recommend you reserve a table either inside in the "library" or outdoors, The terrace is quite charming and reminds me of certain Tuscan establishments. We always order the same dishes because we have found the other things on the menu disappointing. We like the branzino, the Dover sole, the lamb and the veal chop. The vegetables that accompany the dishes are just so-so. The owners are very welcoming, and since we are VERY limited in Sarasota, we enjoy visiting Salute once in a while."

  • "Loved the meal and the service! Would definitely come again."
    Dined on 3/27/2014
  • "It is surprisingly (and incomprehensibly) difficult to find a piece of good fish simply prepared in Sarasota and we had two at one dinner -- Branzino and Dover Sole, both excellent. For $38, they should be good, of course. It was in all a good experience, though disappointing that no other veggie (only pasta) substitute was available for the collards without cost. The Branzino was plenty to serve two, by the way. "

  • "We had our favorite waiter, Alex, again. Drinks were ample, food was delicious, service was great. Their early dinner menu is great, but their regular menu + their specials are outstanding, too!"
    Dined on 4/19/2014
  • "Three of us were in need of a "cheerful" outing and we found Salute after reading reviews on Open Table. We were not at all disappointed. We were expected, welcomed and introduced to our waiter Eddie. (Eddie is a charmer with a delightful sense of humor). I picked a bottle of wine and Eddie suggested another . . . which I ordered and it was in fact excellent. My guests had fish and I had the rack of lamb. We all raved over our entrees. Our evening at Salute was one of those special nights that we hope to repeat again soon. "

  • "Really enjoyed dining at Salute. Everything tasted homemade. The lasagna is the best in Sarasota. Would highly recommend Salute for good food, nice outdoor dinning and attentive wait staff. We will be back."

  • "The food was excellent …… the glasses of wine were terrible……the Cianti was not even drinkable…….I should have sent it back but i didn't……..I did let the waitress know however."
    Dined on 4/10/2014
  • "The early (4 to 6 pm) 3-course menu is an exceptional value. The Porcini mushroom pasta was really delicious. Also, try the Salutine cocktail is really wonderful. The ambience of the terrace is great...sort of like a restaurant in Italy. Also, the server was excellent, very attentive."
    Dined on 4/5/2014
  • "Prompt seating, great food, great drinks, wonderful service from a very personable waiter, all combined for yet another fine evening at Salute. Only one minor knock: we don't like their water (Sarasota' s finest?), and we think that $6.00 is a lot for a bottle of water."
    Dined on 4/6/2014
  • "Great place with excellent food, good service and fun outdoor vibe! Will definitely go back!"

  • "We took friends from Baltimore to Salute on Monday night. We arrived early for our 6:30 reservation and were seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, and explained in great detail all of the fabulous specials of the evening. While we all really enjoyed our meals, my wife couldn't stop raving about the Veal Saltimbocca that she had! I tasted it, and it was superb! We'll be back soon!"
    Dined on 3/24/2014
  • "It was very busy when we arrived, so they were a little slow in seating us, but the service was great. The menu, though Italian, was very varied and offered my friend, who can't eat cheese, a number of other options. Most of us opted for Italian and every dish was yummy. Would definitely go back there again."

  • "The lentil and in-house made sausage wa delicious and the Caesar salad was fresh and good. The bruschetta was disappointing in that it was slices of tomatoes and scallions and red onions on toast. No garlic and needed seasoning. The bolognase pasta was good and the lasagna was not as good as one would expect in an Italian restaurant. Would give it another try. Our waiter Jeff was very friendly and helpful. The cannoli was delicious. Crisp, not too sweet and attractively served."
    Dined on 3/18/2014
  • "This is one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Sarasota, and it didn't disappoint last Saturday! As always, the food was delicious and the service excellent. They have one of the best early dinner menus around, with great selections for less than $20.00. And, they make a great martini! See you again soon."

  • "This was our third visit to Salute! Each visit has been very enjoyable. Service is always exceptional! It is great to find a restaurant that still carries out final preparation of some dishes tableside. The menu offered a more-than-adequate variety for all courses. We were very pleased with our selections; veal chops on this occasion. The chicken escarole soup with meatballs was hot when served, and delicious. The veal chops were cooked to our requested temperature and served with roasted potatoes and green beans. Seasoning of the meat was perfect. We closed the meal with a shared wedge of homemade Italian tart that was beautifully presented with an artfully decorated medallion of sauce and a few fresh berries. The coffee was delicious."

    Dined on 3/4/2014
  • "This was a first time visit. The service was friendly but not particularly well trained. The bruschetta pomodore we ordered as appetizer was ok but I missed a hint of garlic it should have been brushed with. The main dish, grouper, was also ok but not very good. While the grouper was savory the accompanying potatoes were done unevenly, i.e. some were still somewhat hard. Also, a fish knife was missing. Bottom line: Not the quality restaurant I expected after having read some reviews."
