Disappointing Experience…read more I really wanted to enjoy our visit to Gambretti in Salem, especially since I remember the great food and service from their old location. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to those memories. The ambiance is definitely the highlight--it's a beautiful and inviting restaurant. However, the food and service left quite a bit to be desired. Our entrée needed additional seasoning, and one of my favorite wines from Willamette Valley was served in a water glass, which was disappointing for what is supposed to be a nice dining experience. It seems that the restaurant had only one server covering the entire restaurant, and she did an excellent job given the circumstances. She was attentive and did her best, but the overall service simply wasn't what I remember from Gambretti's old location. I hope this was just an off night because I'd really like to see Gambretti return to the level of food and service that made it memorable in the first place

It was fantastic, and I don't even like salads. Our server was awesome! Very helpful, friendly and full of recommendations. And the pizzas are excellent. I went with pepperoni because I'm a basic dude and it is the best pepperoni I've tasted in a long time. Due to the server's recommendation my wife got the Bianca. Wonderfully unique flavors and the crust is thin but crispy on the outside, soft and hot inside. But again, as a non-salad eating male, 100% would come here for that Caesar salad alone. This place is worth the visit and will now be a regular spot from now on. Fantastic experience. 5 well deserved stars!

We had the beet salad to start which was just perfect. The truffle burrata mousse was something I've never had before and it added a light creaminess to the dish. My friend had the pasta de la nonna and I had the special of the night. The pasta de la nonna was delicious, flavorful, and the noodles were something I've never fresh! It was more than just a red sauce. My ravioli was filled with something delicious (I wish I could remember now lol what it was). We had tiramisu for dessert since it was her birthday. Service was lovely. Great find on vacation!

Gnocchi was killer and the pizza was pretty good. The service was absolutely meh. We watched a table seated after us get drinks and salads before we even gave our drink order, and they got their meals before we ordered. We were pretty excited to order and stoked for the food here, so the meh service was really a bummer. We also were seated in the back, and it was really hot in that room. If I had it to do over again, I'd request the restaurant area up front. Overall, we'd go back to give it another go. But there was room for improvement for sure.

I was visiting the area with the family and the Yelp reviews for this restaurant caught my eye, so…read moreoff we went. First off, it was on the opposite end of where our gps showed us it was located at, but I was prepared by other Yelpers that mentioned it could be a challenge to find. We did not have reservations but arrived just before the dinner rush, so we thought we'd try our luck. The inside seating was filled, but we got our pick of table outside. The waitress promptly put the table shades up to block the sun from the area, which was nice (it was a bit warm outside). The outside tables filled up soon after we were seated. We shared a Caesar salad for appetizer and were very happy with it - tasty dressing, good croutons, and good cheese on top. The bread with sauce they gave use was very good too. The pasta came and as I already saw from the Yelp pictures they give you a good amount of pasta, which isn't always the case at Italian restaurants these days. 3 of us ordered the smoked salmon alfredo and one of us ordered the vodka rigatoni. The salmon is wild caught, if I remember right and it tasted as it was smoked in house - very good. I'm not typically a fan of alfredo but I'm a big fan of smoked salmon and I'm not sure what they do differently with their alfredo but I really enjoyed the sauce as well as the salmon. My son who ordered the vodka sauce rigatoni left the cleanest plate of all of us so I guess he liked his as well. Our waitress was very helpful all the way through and helped make it a great experience. As a part Italian, I definitely give this spot two thumbs up, and my family did as well. A good experience all around.

The bar has 4 seats and there are perhaps 20 tables in Placido's. It's a bit tight and quite busy as it appeared every employee was performing multiple roles. The service was polite and prompt. We ordered smoked chicken ravioli and chicken piccata. The smoked Chicken ravioli was unique, but quite good. The smoky flavor shined through. The chicken piccata was loosely a chicken piccata. Still very good, but with some additions to the traditional expectation of a chicken piccata. It was a good pasta dish overall.

I had Ravioli with the cream sauce (my favorite, I've had it many times before) -- but it was more like paste than sauce and bland, except for the prosciutto that was tough and way too salty. Hubby had the Whiskey Halibut and said it was good but not great. One in our party had the Steak Delmonico and he said it was bland. When he asked for steak sauce the waitress asked what was wrong. He explained the steak was flavorless. A few minutes later, the owner appeared. She asked what she could do, and our friend said, "I can't put my finger on it." Obviously she misunderstood him, because she replied in a rather harsh tone with, "no, I don't want to put my finger on it. I want to make it right. What can I do?" our friend, replied that he was fine. He didn't make a fuss. It was crowded and noisy, so she can perhaps be excused for being so brusque. All in all, not a terrible dinner. But we probably won't be back anytime soon, and our friends who had never been before are not likely to visit again.
