Salute! Ristorante - EnotecaExcellent Dining ExperienceThis was one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have had in quite awhile. Service was spot-on, appetizer, entree, and desert were delicious for all 4 in our party. Drinks were generous and priced well. Great value! Would return in a heartbeat. Only downside was acoustics. Despite a less than full dining room, the noise level made it a bit difficult to converse.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous Italian FoodBesides the food, the service was outstanding and fun.
