    Passing through Auburn, Indiana this Thursday afternoon (enroute to Naperville IL) and stopped for…read morethe night (and to get dinner). Our neighbor is cat-sitting for us and suggested Salvatori's as a good place for Italian, and she was so right! It's not a big space and you may have a short wait for a table, but so worth it. The ambiance is casual and family-oriented, not too noisy even when full, and (best of all) there's No TVs. Heavenly! I had the pasta Apuli (minus the red pepper flakes), she had the Spaghetti Olio and we split a bruchetta and a cannoli for a to-go dessert. The portions are so large, we needed to-go boxes for both dinners even though we ordered the half sizes! Generous doesn't begin to describe this place. Our server was warm and attentive without 'hovering' and the host stopped by to ensure all's well. We're coming back through town on Monday and I think we'll be back again!

    This review is based on two visits, two nearly identical pizzas, and unfortunately, the same issue…read moreboth times: two pizzas, same floppy crust. About two weeks ago, visiting Auburn for work, I ordered a small Supreme thin-crust pizza from Salvatori's and brought it back to my hotel. The pizza itself was very tasty, but the crust was extremely soft and floppy--so much so that it couldn't support the toppings. When I picked up a slice, the toppings basically slid right off the bottom. The crust had apparently decided its job was simply to provide transportation from the kitchen to the box. The flavor was good, though, so afterward I called the restaurant simply to offer some constructive feedback. I explained that I thought the pizza had been pulled from the oven too early and wasn't fully cooked. The young lady took my feedback in stride and thanked me. This week, I decided to give Salvatori's another try and ordered the exact same pizza: small Supreme, thin crust. But this time I was very specific. I asked for the crust to be very crispy and told them I was perfectly fine with the cheese getting browned. At the end of the call, they confirmed, "So you want it well done?" I said yes. Perfect. We were speaking the same pizza language. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, however, the pizza wasn't ready. After waiting a few minutes, one staff member asked another if they had taken the order for the "10-inch carryout pizza"--a.k.a. my pizza--and there seemed to be a little scrambling. The manager came right up and explained that they were "late" getting my pizza in. I said no problem. Things happen. I waited another 15-20 minutes. When the pizza finally came out, I watched an employee hand it over to the woman at the counter. She opened the box, looked at the pizza, paused for a good five seconds, slowly closed the lid, turned around, faced me and said: "Sir, your pizza is ready." That five-second pause should probably have been my warning. To their credit, they were very nice about the delay and gave me a piece of cheesecake at no charge. I had intended to pay for it, but they insisted because of the inconvenience, which I genuinely appreciated. Here's where my pending disappointment became actual disappointment. I opened the box. It looked almost exactly like the pizza from two weeks earlier. Definitely not well done. Definitely not crispy. Once again, the crust was soft and floppy. Apparently, "well done" and I have a different definition than Salvatori's oven does. At that point, the pizza was already cut, I had already waited the extra time, and I really didn't want to hand it back and ask them to put it in the oven for another 10 minutes just to get the crispy crust I had specifically requested. I hate leaving anything less than a five-star review, especially because the pizza actually tastes good and the staff were friendly. But after specifically calling about the issue after my first experience, then giving them another chance and being extremely clear about how I wanted the second pizza cooked, it was disappointing to receive essentially the same result. The missed order and extra wait wouldn't have bothered me much by themselves. Things happen, and the complimentary cheesecake was a thoughtful gesture that I appreciated. But when a customer specifically requests a pizza "well done," the restaurant confirms that request, and the pizza still comes out noticeably underdone, that's harder to overlook. I wanted crispy. I got floppy. Twice. Two pizzas, one review--and unfortunately, the same crust both times. I'm just not sure there will be a third. I'm rooting for you Salvatori's, I really am, but man-o-man.

    Sandra D's is the best kept secret outside of Fort Wayne. My friend and I drove by and she…read morementioned she's always wanted to try it. So after our excursion, we stopped at Sandra D's. Best Decision Ever. We ordered the jalapeno poppers for an appetizer. They were literally mouth watering, phenomenal homemade poppers. The jalapeno is sliced in half and stuffed with a homemade cheese blend and battered in delicious breading, cooked to perfection. I wish we were smart enough to get two orders of them, I definitely could have eaten my own! For the main course, I got the Fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was absolutely incredible!! I've never had a sauce like Bentley's (that's the chef's name). If I could bottle that sauce and take it home, I would! After telling the waitress how phenomenal the food is, we found out our waitress is the, Sandra D!! To our surprise even more, the head chef came out to introduce himself. His name is Bentley. He told us the alfredo sauce is made fresh to order. We also found out Bentley and Sandra are married and the only employees in the restaurant. I was shocked!! For the prompt service, generous portion size, and incredible food, I was shocked to learn they are doing it all alone! We loved this place so much, we came back a few hours later for dinner. This time we got the bruschetta for an appetizer. Let's just say, their food does Not disappoint! The bruschetta had the perfect amount of garlic and toppings. It was divine. I did get the fettuccine alfredo again. Yes, again. It was that good!! Next time I visit my friend in Fort Wayne, I will be stopping at Sandra D's for some more Alfredo.

    Decent affordable Italian classics. Personal service with little wait times. Vintage atmosphere.read more

    Staff is SUPER friendly, they were great!…read more The starter wasn't great, the cheese tortellini was over fried so there was no cheese left, just a crisp pasta husk. The sauces weren't my favorite either... Italian salad dressing, chunky red sauce, and the cream base of Alfredo sauce (not good - basically just plain cold cream). The white chicken Parmesan entree was very good though, well worth the trip!

A true traditional homestyle spaghetti and incredible sauce perfectly seasoned and consistent blend of herbs making this sauce the talk of the meal. Meatballs, wow ! They are huge and again perfect to taste, the seasoned taste will wake your taste bud's simply because you have never had the true Italian meatballs. The mall is offered with a slice of buttered garlic bread that says hi I'm straight from the bakers oven and melted in your mouth. A side salad is wonderful with this meal and if you like Italian make sure and have the house Italian dressing it absolutely will not disappoint you. I will always return when in or close to Findlay, OH. Special thanks to momma, Micah your amazing!!!
