    Cafe Vesuvius 8/2012
    Vivian C.

    Cafe Vesuvius is a spot offering a short list of fried appetizers, fresh organic salads, a nice list of sandwiches, and pizzas. You order at the counter and they'll bring you your food if you are dining in at one of a limited number of seats indoors, or out on their tiny patio. Drinks are self-serve in two refrigerated cases. Napkins are available by the trash bin. A single bathroom is available, but you have to ask for the key. The sweet potato fries $5.50 immediately caught my eye. Fortunately a friend was willing to share an order, because they were great! Thinner cut, they were nice and crispy and well salted. I then selected the Donna's specialty sandwich $7.50 (Breaded eggplant, roasted red peppers, grilled onions, portobello mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, pesto and mayo) on wheat, while my lunch buddy went with the Pegasus specialty sandwich $6.95 (our own home roasted turkey with pesto and fresh mozzarella) on foccacia (additional 50 cent fee), both grilled upon request, and we went halvsies. The sandwiches arrived each sliced in half with a rather large quartered pickle on the side. Plenty for lunch, especially with the order of sweet potato fries vying for stomach space. I preferred the juicy veggies, while my friend's vote went to the particularly generously pesto-ed turkey-wich. As for other dishes around the table, the Grilled Steak Tip $8.50 looked well filled, the avocado salad $7.50 was large and arrived with a full half a fresh avocado sliced in two and half a large thin pita, and the mixed grilled vegetarian pizza $17.95 (large) was touted as super toppings on a really good crispy/chewy crust.

    Piccolo Piatti is finally open in Salem after waiting a few years with the "Coming Soon" banner…read morehanging on the green painted house at the corner of Webb St & Collins St. This small house was formerly Amazing Pizza & More which is relocated to the Wharf. Operated by Antique Table, Piccolo Piatti of Salem is strictly a takeout eatery (no table seating) which serves up a variety of paninis/subs/wraps with fries, chicken wings, pizza, grain bowls, salads, smoothies, acai bowls, juices, and can soda. The menu here is different than Antique Table and Piccolo Piatti Winthrop, which offers full service dining with mostly Italian food. I stopped by Piccolo Piatti mid-afternoon and the place was fairly busy with people hanging out waiting for their orders. I ordered a Salmon Bowl ($16 plus tax) which was ready in about 25 minutes after ordering since there were already large orders before mine. I watched the two cooks prepare food in the kitchen as I waited. The Salmon Bowl was really good with nice flavors, which had white rice, mixed greens, red onions, pico de gallo, hot tender honey glazed salmon smoothed with a pesto mayo. I will definitely have to drop in again for a hot sandwich with a smoothie!

The taste and flavor of all the food was incredible. All of the food was good but the The Crispy golden brown Empanadas were out of this world.

They arrived over an hour past the agreed time and didn't actually get set up until just minutes before service was scheduled to begin. We were told the delay was due to a road race, which I understand things happen. What was more concerning was the lack of professionalism in follow-up conversations after the event. There was little acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused, and no real sense of accountability or willingness to make things right. Instead, the tone came across as dismissive, even going so far as to emphasize how successful their business is and how our business as a customer was not needed, which felt inappropriate given the situation. Delays can be understandable, but how a business handles them, especially afterward, is what really matters. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling undervalued as a client and I could not recommend.

    Food- 5 stars Service - 5 stars…read moreAmbiance- 3 stars I loved this cafe so much- I am glad my visit to Blackcraft Cult didn't work out because the line here was so much shorter and there was no wait to be seated. The only reason why I gave this spot on a 3 stars on Ambiance is because it was just super chilly outside. However, I did not have to wait for a seat and was given a menu immediately after being seated. I ordered the Nutty Professor latte and let me tell you, this was so divine! I tasted a hint of Nutella cream and how delicious this was that I was no longer disappointed about being seated outside. I also ordered the Shroom Sandy sandwich, I wish I ordered two (one for breakfast and one for lunch). It was that good! The sandwich was prepared with house marinated portobello, scrambled eggs and spinach and Swiss cheese. I felt energized for the two hours I walked around after only eating half. I would be delighted to visit Gulu Gulu cafe again the next time I visit Salem and highly recommend you arrive when they open if you want preferred seating. Happy traveling

Overall, cute, cozy place & great experience!
