    Sausage, egg, and cheese
    Doc F.

    Salvaggio's is a great place for lunch if I'm downtown in the office and I need to make a point to drop by more often since it's always so good. The way they make a breakfast sandwich is just really unique and I'm a fan. They have a pretty big selection of food too so yeh, worth a visit in my opinion. Service is decent and quick. Friendly for the most part haha It's got a pretty big seating area and yeh it's nothing fancy but it's a good lunch spot. I could eat that sandwich every week to be honest!

    I only had time for a quick grab and go in downtown Denver around 17th St and Welton. I crossed the street, found myself in front of Savaggio's deli. It wasn't especially appealing from the outside, but the Philly focus of the menu, brought me in the door. II ordered a whole cheesesteak. Yes please to peppers and onions. Service was quick and I was watching fresh baked rolls coming out of the back. I also saw some construction workers ordering and receiving amazing looking breakfast sandwiches. Even at lunchtime. Looking around, the interior wasn't particularly noteworthy. Plenty of seating, but not much of a crowd. I walked back to continue on with what I was working on and dug into the cheesesteak. It was very, very good. The bread was great. Soft, very yeasty and solid holding up well to the hot steak, american cheese, onions, peppers and associated juices. It was just good. I'd planned to eat half and save the other for later. No such luck. The whole thing disappeared all too quickly.

    Have eaten a lot of different kinds of Ruebens and wow love how this place makes them, the bread is nice and tasty and they top it with a homemade coleslaw! The corned beef is just perfect and tender and the potato salad was awesome! Definitely worth stopping and grabbing a quick bite, super friendly service and smells amazing inside!

    I'm going to start out with this because I think everyone needs to know to get the roll as your sandwich vessel because it is huuuge!!! Now I haven't tried the cheesesteak and it is supposedly amazing, so I won't talk to that but the deli meat sandwiches are perfffffect The cold cuts are boars head, which is the best sandwich meat brand. Your sandwich gets loaded up with meats, cheeses, and you choose your toppings. Always opt for the hot peppers, they add a fantastic flavor to the sandwich! The location downtown gets bussssy during lunch hours, so plan accordingly if you need to get something fast!

    Came here to grad a quick to go sandwich based off of really great reviews from my coworkers. I ordered their cheese steak that had chorizo instead of the traditional sliced beef. Oh my gosh this was one of the best sandwiches I have had. The bead alone blew me away as it was fresh and held up great for the sandwich. The warm meat, cheese, peppers, and onions created perfect harmony in the sandwich and I finished it feeling super happy. The employees were very friendly which only made my sandwich taste even better. This is a great deli to grab a sandwich from, give it a try ASAP!

    I finally had my first visit here at the Denver location even though I've lived in Boulder forever! I'm sad I've been missing out on this deliciousness for so long! I ordered a round sandwich (not realizing it was HUGE!) with pepper turkey, provolone, mayo, dijon, lettuce, tomato, pickles and banana peppers. Love how they chop up the veggies! This sandwich was sooo good that I couldn't eat only half, and ate the whole thing! Now I'm addicted and am looking forward to my next one!

    We were visiting from CA and having a terrible time finding a place for breakfast. Ham egg and Swiss with hash browns and veggie grilled sandwich for the win! Get them on the roll and do provolone on the veggie sandwich. Great service too!

    Yum.

    See all

The employees here are so attentive and make sure you are getting what you need and even what you didnt even think you needed. The macaroni salad was so delicious. It's creamy without being heavy, perfectly balanced, and has that nostalgic comfort factor while still tasting elevated. It's the kind of side that could easily steal the show. The roasted red pepper and tomato soup was equally impressive. It's a silky, creamy bisque layered with smoky depth from the roasted peppers, finished with chives that brighten everything up. Even being plant-based, it doesn't sacrifice richness or flavor. Deeply satisfying and clearly well-crafted. The Pastrami Reuben is exceptional. The 12-day house-made pastrami is deeply flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned, layered with melty Jarlsberg, tangy pickled cabbage, and their signature Leven sauce on toasted house-made rye. It's rich, balanced, and everything you want in a classic Reuben--just executed better. I even reheated it a day later and it was just as good as when I ordered it. Equally impressive is the Smoked Beet Reuben, which honestly holds its own against the traditional version. The pastrami-spiced smoked beets bring a smoky, savory depth that feels surprisingly indulgent, not like a compromise. Paired with the same Jarlsberg, cabbage, and sauce, it's a creative, satisfying take that proves plant-based options can be just as compelling. Leven manages to take familiar comfort foods and refine them just enough to feel special without losing what makes them comforting in the first place. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

There's no performance here, no hospitality theater, no one asking how the first few bites are treating you. You walk up to the counter, you order, you take a number, you sit down. The food does the talking. And the food has a lot to say. I went on a bright Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and ordered the classic breakfast, swapping bacon for pastrami (a first for me) with an everything biscuit on the side (also a first). Both were revelations. The eggs over-hard might be the best version of that order I've ever gotten from a restaurant -- just a whisper of uncooked yolk in the center, perfectly seared on both sides. Skillet potatoes were spot-on. The skillet pastrami was rich and properly crisped at the edges. And the two generous slices of sourdough arrived with a scratch-made blueberry jam that I ended up smearing on everything I could -- sourdough, biscuit, probably would've eaten it with a spoon if no one was looking. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which clearly belongs in the staples category. The baguette was the star: toasted outside, pillow-soft inside, zero tug-of-war with your teeth. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. This is the Ron Swanson part: there's an unapologetic confidence to this place. They know exactly what they're doing, they're not trying to oversell it, and they're not interested in charming you into liking it. They're just going to hand you something excellent and trust you to figure out the rest. The coffee was good. The food was setting-a-benchmark good. A real 5 out of 5 stars, no pickin nits. Mild observation, not a complaint: the service is counter-only, no traditional table service. Would Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon dropping plates off elevate the experience? Sure. But Ron wouldn't have it any other way, and honestly, neither would I after eating here. If I lived within 45 minutes of downtown Denver, this would be my destination breakfast. As it is, I'm a 12 hour drive away, and if it were only 11, perhaps I'd go tomorrow. The real downside? The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture.

I ordered a half Louie cold sub, and my boyfriend got a full Severino Grande cold sub. The portion sizes were perfect for me, and my boyfriend couldn't even finish his--which says a lot. My only note for next time is I'd ask for a bit more vinegar on mine, but that's just personal preference. We also shared fried ravioli and mozzarella sticks, and both were really good. The ravioli stood out as the favorite between the two. We were also pleasantly surprised (and excited) to see canned Gatorade--such a nostalgic deli touch. AND the rainbow cookie... absolutely unreal. Easily the best I've ever had. It was so soft and fluffy, and the chocolate layer was creamy and delicious. I'm genuinely going to be thinking about it for a long time. Service was great, parking was easy on the street, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. Overall, it really hit the spot for a solid deli experience in Denver. Can't wait to come back and try the hot plates next time.

While the former Ambli space has been brightened and renovated to look very much like an east shore market, the seating is less than comfortable. I guess the combo of poor food, bad service and uncomfortable seating is great for turning tables? I will put aside the TERRIBLE service and focus purely on the food. We ate at Zaidy's for breakfast. Many of the breakfast sandwiches are based on their in-house-made bagels. This is a failure! The bagels taste stale for "freshly made" and I find it very odd for a Jewish-themed joint to toss bacon into the sandwich (I personally love bacon, BTW). So setting aside the shanda (shame) bacon...with the cheese, there is an utter lack of seasoning. The breakfast sandwich came with home fried potatoes which were cooked nice and crisp but lacking any seasoning whatsoever. The latke grilled cheese looks appealing but is basically a greasy sponge filled with limp tomato and undercoooked cheese. And finally, the blintzes are an embarrassment to any self-respecting Jew. Zaddy's version are these small pockets that are under fried and more the size of a hamantaschen than a true blinze. I see no reason to rush back. Another few blocks down the street is Sam's 3, where a far better breakfast could be realized and Rosenberg's bagel on Monoco for better bread (albeit that Rosenberg's doesn't serve sandwiches)

My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.
