Loved Firenze's eggplant parm but of course that's gone. So I found an eggplant parm here. It was pretty expensive in my opinion, especially for the quality. It was stacked about 3" thick and was mushy and soggy. Pasta was decent. Salad was mostly brown lettuce. I was blown away that I can spend over $20 on a dish and the lettuce is that obviously past its prime. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those first time, last time kind of places for me.

Love the food here. I took my family Sunday feb 25, 2024 to celebrate my brothers birthday. I had a reservation for 12 that turned to 15. The staff was really cool about it. We said on the outdoor patio. It was closed off and very warm. I really appreciate all the heater that were out there and it was pretty quiet and a private. You could see outside and you could see inside the restaurant. Our waitress was also the bartender so that was an issue because most of the time she was at the bar. They had plenty of staff and even put another party out there by us with a different server. I didn't like that because we had a lot of drinks and it took too long to come take our order. Over an hour to be exact. The drinks and food were good. No one had any complaints. The food came out really fast! I wanted steak so i ordered the filletto diana med. it reminded me of eating roast beef so i was disappointed. Though, everything i ordered was flavored. With my partner, i shared the bruschetta, and brownie. I really loved the salad with salmon! This was our first time at this location and i'll be back. I really like the grosse point location better but all is well with both!

Always get the creamy Romano dressing. Trust me on this one! I have been coming to SS since I was in high school when I lived up in flint! So glad there are closer spots by the house. I am a huge fan of the pasta Mezzogiorno so I always get it with sausage. I swear next time I will try something new! My husband could eat a whole loaf of bread with the Romano cheese in oil, no lie! Decor is so cute in here and such good service. Never have had a bad experience and will continue to support our local fave!

Salvatore's is a favorite standard of mine. I love Italian food. I've never left a Salvatore's meal unsatisfied. For $16 I had a plate full of pasta, some good soft white bread, a salad with a simple good vinegar dressing. I'm completely satisfied! Salvatore's is consistently good always!

Delicious dinner at 9 and Gratiot

Favorite! Bought my family dinner at 9 & Gratiot location. Don't forget bruschetta and cannolis they are to die for! Staff is super friendly so please tip if possible, they all split what they earn. #supportlocalbusiness

This is the best Caesar Saks I've ever had in my life!

I tend to order and reorder my favorite meals from the same restaurant. Once I find one, item that…read moreI love, I usually do not try another, unless my favorite meal is no longer available. Because of this, my experience with many other menu items at Salvatore Scallopini on Greater Mack Ave. is limited. That said, I have 2 favorite meals that I hope never disappear from the menu. The first is the Filleto Diana, which is my choice when I celebrate my birthday or Mother's Day. The steak, which are two beef tenderloins, that are sautéed with mushrooms, scallions and garlic in a sauce of brandy cream has been perfection, each time I've ordered it. In May of this year, 2026, I ordered take-out, instead of dining in, and was a little apprehensive because my experience with using take-out at most other restaurants has been that the amount of food, delivered, is usually disappointingly less than when I've dined-in. My experience with this take out that my son picked up for me, was pleasantly surprising in that the restaurant had not skimped on any of the items ordered, a total of 3 complete meals for 3 people. My steak was cooked perfectly, arriving with the warm pink center that "Medium" calls for. It was still very warm, tender, cut like butter, and flavorful. The flavors of the mushrooms, scallions, garlic and brandy cream melded together, enhancing, not covering up, the flavor of the steak. The garlic and scallions did not overpower the mushrooms, and the brandy cream added richness to the dish as a whole. I was not able to finish the entire steak at one sitting, and I even had skipped ordering the soup in order to not "fill up" too soon with the accompanying bread that I love, and side of pasta in a tomato sauce. I ate a little of the excellent mashed potatoes that were included with the meal, and saved the rest for later. The meal was delicious!!! Since the steak still had a pink center, it remained tender and moist after reheating it , later, along with the mashed potatoes and pasta. My other favorite meal that I have ordered several times is "Chicken Tosca", which has a very delicately breaded coating, not too heavy, and barely noticeable, just the right amount to help the sauce coat the chicken and give it additional flavor. The chicken breast is sautéed with mushrooms and a lemon wine sauce. I've rarely added my own salt or pepper to this meal, except just once, where I felt it needed a little boost in the flavor. I'd rather have a meal served with a little less salt, than too much, as salt and pepper can easily be added to taste, after the dish is prepared. I have ordered the Chicken Tosca both as dine-in, and delivered, and, as with the Filleto Diana, the take out meal had as much food as the dine-in meal. The restaurant happily did not skimp! Maybe in the future, I will order a different meal here, whenever I need a new taste experience.........Naw...!

The ambiance is nice, and the service is friendly. I enjoyed the food and cocktails, and the portions were large. My friend and I had a nice evening and didn't feel rushed to leave. I recommend Salvatore Scallopini if you're looking for a place to have dinner along Mack Avenue.

My aunt and uncle both wear hearing aids, and we found ourselves practically yelling across the table to have a conversation. Even without hearing aids, I couldn't hear my husband sitting right next to me! The food was a mixed bag. We started with the charcuterie board, which was just okay. For the price, I expected something a little more interesting, especially at an Italian restaurant. As you can see in the picture, it featured fairly ordinary cheeses, including American and cheddar Jack, along with basic salami. Nothing particularly gourmet or distinctly Italian. On the positive side, my husband's ravioli was delicious, and the salmon was very good! Unfortunately, my veal piccata was disappointing. The sauce was oddly thick and perhaps overly buttery, although I tend to use a lighter hand with butter when I make it myself. I only ate a few bites, took the rest home, and ultimately didn't even finish the leftovers. I'd give the food about 3.5 stars and the ambiance 3 stars. The restaurant itself is charming, and perhaps it's considerably quieter at lunch. But between the inconsistent food and the overwhelming noise, I wouldn't return for dinner.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff…read more Got the strawberry mule, it was good, more heavy on the ginger than I expected, but not bad. I like the kale salad, but wish they put less dressing on it. The salmon on the special menu was great, cook with shrimp, and the creamy sauce was very lovely. It's probably the best salmon I had in a while. Chicken parmigiano was good too. We enjoyed the Tiramisu as well. The floor was very sticky and slippery though, I felt I had to be very careful to not to fall.

We were celebrating a birthday, so we decided to pull out all the stops -- and I'm really glad we did. I'll say right up front that the prices are a little higher than what I would normally spend on a meal, but honestly, it was absolutely worth it. They started us off with garlic bread that was incredibly delicious, and from there the experience only got better. Our server, Andrew, was fantastic. He mentioned that they might have been a little short-handed and apologized that he felt he couldn't be as attentive as he normally would be, but honestly, we never would have known. He did an excellent job keeping our water glasses full and making sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. At our table, we ordered the Chicken al Pastaio, Spaghetti Carbonara, Gnocchi Romana, and I had the Chicken Parmigiano. Every dish was excellent. I sampled a few bites from the other plates and genuinely enjoyed all of them. The real highlight for me, though, was the Beggar's Purse appetizer. It was pasta filled with goat cheese and pear, and it was absolutely divine. I can completely understand why they also offer it as a main course because I could have happily eaten an entire plate of it. For dessert, we shared cheesecake and tiramisu. The cheesecake was more traditional than what you'd typically get at places like The Cheesecake Factory, which caught me a little off guard at first, but it was still excellent. The tiramisu was also delicious, and we all got a good laugh when one of our guests accidentally inhaled a little cocoa powder off the top and started coughing and sneezing at the table. It honestly just added to the fun of the evening. At the end of the night, nothing we ordered disappointed, the service was wonderful, and it turned out to be a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. We'll definitely be back.
