Our first visit to Salerno’s Pizza & Pasta was a fantastic experience! The food quality was incredible and we enjoyed our time the food was delicious and not greasy or too oily, and the service was excellent. Our waitress Kylie, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, Kylie added a positive touch to our dining experience. We'll definitely be returning! Overall everything was perfect thank you

Wow! Massive bowls of pasta, delicious pizza. You really can't go wrong. FYI, Monday is half priced pizza day, BUT the pizza is discounted, while the toppings are full priced. Wasn't a huge deal but would have been nice to know previous to ordering, rather than the price shock of the bill. Definitely will return.

Good cheese and sausage slices, carrot cake, and German chocolate. All were delicious. The picky kids approve. Sorry no photos. Was busy eating. Also portions are generous.

Food is always good at this place. No matter what I've had, it's always great. Love the bread right as we sit down with the oil and the cheese yum!! We has margaritas and man they packed a punch that night!! Lol I hadn't seen that bar tender but I so appreciate her! Then the main dish.... so freaking good. My go to is the gnocchi with vodka sauce and chicken. I usually ask for the full order which is the big bowl because then I can take the other half for lunch the next day. it comes with soup or salad (served while they prepare the main dish) I love the salad with a raspberry vinaigrette, so good. We didn't get dessert this time but now that I'm typing this I wish I had some of their tiramisu the cannolis are really good to and don't even get me started on their gelato.... I'm making myself hungry all over again. If you don't know, find out!!

Food is always good and our server was awesome. Never a disappointment. They need a kids menu. My son like the Alfredo but a regular one is too big for him. Please consider kids meals smaller portions.

Did a small catering order for Mother’s Day. The food was ready at the time I requested & when I arrived, staff was prompt in addressing me & they had my order all boxed up & ready to go. The food was really yummy! I especially loved the lasagna. I shouldn’t have ordered the chicken parmigiana simply for the amount that came in a half-pan: so much food!! The marinara sauce is drool-worthy I’d say; I’d come purchase a quart of that again the one thing I would suggest is taping the bottom of the boxes shut for catering orders- my relative didn’t carry it from the bottom when moving it & some of the food felt through. Thankfully the only thing that opened/spilt was some marinara sauce other than that, I’d happily come back for more food!

My experience here was having a. ..n after funeral lunch and not as a regular customer. It was more of a banquet style lunch, and I did not want to take pictures of the food amongst family and friends. This was a multi course lunch starting with calamari, which was lightly battered and fried just right. They then had pizza split with cheese and sausage, pasta, salad, and chicken with potatoes, which resembled a Chicken Piccata. They even made a special item for us which was requested by the family because the family member would go to this restaurant for the item. Dessert was a sampling of cannoli and tiramisu. The room was comfortable and decorated with photos of Italian celebrities. The staff was on point and worked efficiently to get the dishes out and made sure everyone had what they needed to be satisfied. My background is 100% Italian, and I rarely, if ever, go to an Italian restaurant. I prefer making it all at home. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of all of the food. I'm over an hour away from the location, so I would not visit again, but if you are looking for a place to go after an event, then this would be a good spot. My photos are limited because of the reason for the visit.
