Salvatore's La Spaghetteria

I've been here a few times and it is amazing every time. They make all their pasta and bread fresh. You can actually watch them make it inside. Prices are very reasonable for the freshness and large portions. Their couples seafood platter is amazing as is almost everything on the menu.

If you want great, authentic Italian food without paying a fortune, check this place out.

The atmosphere can be fun for families and romantic for couples. The seating area is a bit cozy. The staff is friendly and they keep your water glasses full. Good prices and generous portions. The Calamari was crispy and not greasy. We like the meatballs best. There was live music that night, making it feel festive. It was a nice surprise to receive a flower at the end of our evening.

As a crime fighter, i don't get a chance to enjoy a fine meal. Tonight was one of those nights. My butler Alfred had shown me how to make gnocchi from an old italian woman...and it was the best I ever had....until tonight.
I ordered a handmade gnocchi in tomato basil sauce served with a glass of merlot. The gnocchi literally melted in my mouth. It was truly an amazing meal. I only ate half of the pasta as it was a great portion...and the fact that fighting crime in the Bat armour is quite uncomfortable when your stuffed with pasta.
Try the St Honere cake...........I'm Batman

So we went back on the regular for past few months. They recently changed the sauce or something the lasagna isnt the same :( i asked what changed and they said the lady that makes it wasnt in. We went back another time hoping it would be the lasagna we knew and loved but it was sub par.

So-so. Food was good, nothing spectacular. Decor was extremely out dated. The place needs a refresh. Waiter was very nice.

* Brings back memories *

Ok, this place reminds me of some places I used to go in New York as a kid. I don't know how long it has been around, but quite possibly it is the same vintage.

Some rules to enjoy it here:

1) Don't expect fancy modern Italian dining.

2) Don't expect fancy decor.

3) Do expect "classic" (aka 1960's/70's) mid-range vibe (including the plastic coated menu, paper napkins formed into a "flower" inside your glass, padded rubber mats on the stairs, random kitsch on the walls, etc.).

4) Do expect very reasonable prices.

5) Do expect typical North America East Coast Southern Italian cuisine prepared solidly.

I had the veal parmigiana. The meat was a bit tougher and much thicker than I would prefer, but it brought back memories with its thick cheese baked on top of a rich tomato sauce. I'd give the veal dish 2.5 stars though.

The side rigatoni was the star of the show. The pasta is made in-house (apparently all of their pasta is), was just slightly overcooked (but not terribly so), and had a nice rich basil tomato sauce. This was 3.5 stars.

They also served a nice focaccia that is also baked fresh in-house, accompanied with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also 3.5 stars.

Tip: Free parking in the back as well (if you can find your way to it!).

Thank you to Mark H. for recommending this place.

Went there tonight with my sis and an important guest/friend :) The staff was so eager to make us happy. Moments after we were seated, one waiter asked if everything was fine and we barely even had time to open our menus.

The food was superb. I had a seafood linguine (on the menu, it came with red sauce but I requested a white wine sauce and they honored it). My sister had a veal and my guest had a pizza. I ordered the Chilean Chardonnay with my order and it came in a teeny glass (sigh). Considering I get tipsy easily, maybe it was a good thing.

Waitstaff continued to check up on us. There was LOTS of pasta on my bowl (approx. three grain servings considering one cup pasta is one serving) and I enjoyed EVERY bite. The ambiance was romantic and relaxed; I felt like I was in Greece! I definitely recommend it. The waitstaff exuded pride in their work and in the quality of the food for very good reasons.

"Time for Pasta"? Time for an update. Your portal to the dated dining room is through what looks like a service closet in the doorway. We're seated and given menus that are a mishmash of coloured sheets in protectors, with a festival of fonts and a plethora of typos. The server isn't much help navigating the menu, and actually an annoyance, putting on a heavy Italian accent every time he pronounces a menu item or wine name. And then, despite the name, the spaghetti is terrible, a pile of overcooked strands in a bland tomato sauce, a couple of bone-in, skin on chicken breasts perched on top for awkward eating.

Did I order the wrong thing? I'm sort of curious to see if there's any truth in some of my friends' reviews of La Spaghetteria - i.e., the great homemade food - but I just can't bring myself to go sit in that dingy atmosphere and look at those terrible menus again. Time for style.

I have never had a bad dinner here! NEVER! The fresh bread, the amazing food (fresh pasta) and wonderful wait staff complete this establishment.

If you love Italian food this is the place to be. It's not fancy or anything but you will never feel left out in the cold here! In the summer there is a great little patio where some of the meat is cooked. You will find the owner and a few of his old croonies partaking in a few bevvies here.

My friend goes to school near by and has been wanting to try a new place for dinner.. We had an entertainment coupon and decided to eat here.

From the very beginning our specific server was terrible. As we were placing our order he walked away and finished a bill with another customer and we then had to repeat our order. We presented the coupon right away as advised by the hostess so our server was aware we would be using it.

After waiting over 30-45minutes for our food and watching 2 tables that were right next to us get their food first even if they both ordered 30min after us, we eventually got our food.

Not only that, our server never checked on us and the bus girl was the only person to refill our water and check on us and the restaurant was not even that busy. Not only was our server TERRIBLE he was disrespectful and was demanding to the bus girl asking her to do all his work. We ended up giving a good tip but told her to keep it for herself.

Last but not least our coupon stated very clearly that we would get one entree free if one other entree was purchased, so we also ordered an appy to make up for it and in the end the server only gave us $10 off when the entrees were $15 each. We were so appalled by the service we just wanted to get out of there.

Now the only reason I am giving them 2 stars is because the food was pretty good. Pasta servings are pretty large so I had quite a bit to take home. Their calamari was pretty good as well, but be forewarned that they do not serve tziki sauce so it was a little bland, but cooked very well.

To the server we had - I have never ever experienced such terrible service. And my friend and I understand how the restaurant business works... We know you can forget things and get frazzled but his service was terrible enough that I want to share it and suggest you take out rather than stay in if you want to try the food here.
