    Saluté is our favorite Italian spot in Central Oregon. The food never misses and the staff are always on point. Made sure to leave room for dessert as their decadent treats are not to be missed!

    We usually only go out for supper once a week, but when I saw Salute Restaurant & Bar Bend post about their gnocchi special tonight, I looked at Jim and said, “We’re eating out two nights in a row!” I kicked things off with an Italian Margarita while Jim ordered a pilsner from pFriem. The amaretto float in the margarita gave it this amazing aftertaste that made me go, “Wait, what was that?”—in the best way. We both chose the “Local Special,” which includes a three-course meal for just $39. Such a great deal! For starters, Jim had the Caesar salad, and I went with the zuppa di cipolle. The onion soup was rich and flavorful, and I especially loved the cheese toasts on top—just like we do at home. Jim’s Caesar was creamy, well-balanced, and hit all the right notes. For our mains, Jim ordered the scampi, which he said had a bright citrus flavor and just the right touch of garlic. I, of course, had the gnocchi special. Let me tell you, those gnocchi were light, airy, and practically pillowy. The pomodoro sauce was simple and perfect, letting the gnocchi shine. Dessert was a win, too. I had the strawberry cannoli—stuffed with ricotta and mascarpone, topped with fresh strawberries and toasted pistachios. It was crispy, lightly sweet, and a perfect finish to the meal. Jim was too full to enjoy his tiramisu at the table, but he took it to go and it looked beautiful—he’ll be digging in later tonight. Service was excellent! I’m kicking myself for forgetting our server’s name, but she was warm, attentive, and made sure we were having a great time. Her friendly chit-chat added that extra special touch to an already wonderful evening. Fingers crossed that gnocchi becomes a regular on the menu—hint hint! We’ll definitely keep the Local Special in mind next time we’re deciding where to eat.

    Our server was phenomenal. She could not have been better. Each dish was presented beautifully and the flavor delightful. My only comment that would not be totally positive is that the amount of pasta was quite small, something like seven ravioli, for the price. Still, that will not keep us from coming back.

    The food is impeccable. Everything was delicious and very beautifully presented. Elise was our server and she was awesome. We've dined at many restaurants in Bend over the years but Salute in my opinion is the very best.

    Our dinner was extremely tasty! Steak cooked how we liked and handmade ravioli was amazing! Drinks were made with great flavor and the dessert was decadent. Will definitely come back and recommend to all. Great to have a nice Italian spot in town that can do it all!
