Traveling solo and on a budget in this part of suburban Essen, I had a hard time finding satisfying…read moreplaces to eat. The more communal beer hall-style establishments tended to ignore my party of one, and the more quaint traditional German restaurants tended to be too pricey for my daily quota. On my first night I finally landed in this neighborhood pizzeria for a takeaway. The two men behind the counter could not have been friendlier, welcoming me with kindness even though I was obviously not from the area and didn't know the ordering routine. They go the extra mile of sauteeing your pizza toppings to order, prior to putting the pie in the oven. My delicious mushroom, onion, and chicken-topped pizza tasted more substantial and high quality than a mere fast food pizza. They also threw in some complimentary bread sticks with my order--another nice gesture. The restaurant has a dining area, but many more people seemed to flow in and out for picking up meals. This would be a good place to bring kids, as they not only offer pizzas, but also pasta options. The refrigerated drink case is stocked with beer and soda, as well as kid-friendly Capri Suns. Pizzeria Bei Salvatore exceeded my expectations, producing solid pizzas with above-standard customer service. Should you find yourself hungry in Essen-Borbeck (who knows?), give this place a try.

Great Italian food and service!! Working a trade show in…read moreEssen several years in a row and have returned multiple times.

Leider so, wie man sich einen Italiener in Essen vorstellt. Einfache Holztische (????), eine super…read morenette Kellnerin und mürrische Kellner, Pizza mit viel zu wenig Salz, schlechten Meeresfrüchten und trockenem Oregano drüber geknallt. Naja, was soll man machen, in diesen Zeiten. Bienvenuti, amici - friss oder stirb. Ich bin sicher, sie haben es nicht leicht - aber ich hab es auch nicht leicht. Und 23€ für ein großes Altbier und diese Pizza ist mir einfach zu teuer (für Trinkgeld reicht es immer!!! MUSS).

Dear Pasta e Gamberoni,…read more Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the world but I will visit you next time I am in Essen (hopefully this year!) Your truffle spaghetti is out of this world yummy, with huge chunks of shaved truffle, Your spicy tomato sauce is also one of my favorites. Also, your panzerotti in cream sauce. Your gambas (giant shrimp prawns) appetizer is delicious as well as your mushroom beef carpaccio and the prices are more than reasonable. I love how intimate and cozy your atmosphere is. + how sweet all the people who work and dine there are. Your bread is like crack, and I could swim in your balsamic and olive oil selection. Don't ever change. xo Sincerely, me.

Worst customer service ever. Reserved a table upfront. But when we arrived, all tables were taken…read more It took forever to get some attention from the staff. Then they were extremely rude and told us to go for a walk (in icy conditions in December!!!). We were told maybe we would have more luck later. Don't even try to make a reservation, it does not help. They also don't seem to appreciate your business at all. I was never ignored so much or treated so rudely in any other restaurant before in the entire world. Would not try to go back, if they paid me to do so...

I tried a little bit from my friend and it was pretty good. If you want to order the pizza plan on sharing it and don't order any apps before you get your pizza.

Top restaurant!! We had dinner there (4 adults and 1 child)…read moreon the 05/12/2014. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, the service is great and the food is sublime. The specials were mainly seafood although they did have other dishes. The dishes we enjoyed were: - the Tuna tartar (wonderfully clean flavours) - the fish soup (excellent) - the chef's antipasto (delightful section of small dishes) - the grilled Dorado fillet very nicely done - the grilled fish plate (2 kinds of grilled fish fillets and some grilled prawns excellent) - the spaghetti Bolognese (the ragu is something to behold.. deep flavourful) - the Tiramisu (very tasty and surprisingly light.(like it is made with mouses)) On top of this very friendly service (even tough we were a bit underdressed) really made this one of the highlights (if not the highlight) of our trip to Oberhausen. We will definitely try to return here next time we visit Oberhausen..
