5 Stars: Wonders of a little Italian Restarant (by by Yeroc at Citysearch)

My family and i have been going to Sal's several times a month for the past year or so. The best times to go are on weekend evenings and lunch for Sunday. The first thing you relize as you walk in is the old building and flooring. The second are a few unwashed tables when they have a crowd. Your experince at sals is many determined by the waiter. The older the waiter the better service you will get, but most waiters are students from springville high. Most of the meals I have had at sal have been good during the lunch and dinner crowds. If you go during a slow hour I would sugest to get a pizza or calzone. The owner makes the dough himself. Dont get pasta if they are slow. Unless it is baked. My favorite item is the bacon pizza. The crust is always crispy brown and is always hot and fresh. If you are looking for the best time, get an older waiter and when there is a crowd. If you dont like i little dirt on the floor and a few cobb webs , than sals is your best bet for fresh pizzas and calzones.

3/5 cleanness
5/5 taste
3-4/5 service(depends on waiter)

2 Stars: Sals Italian Restarant â?? TERRIBLE!!! (by by gudgrlal at Citysearch)

My husband and I, along with our 4 year old son, visited Sal's Italian Restaurant in Springville for the first time on a recent Friday night at about 6:30 p.m. The restaurant was not crowded and looked to be okay when we went in. After 15 minutes, a waitress finally came up to us to take our drink order. The booth we were sitting at had not been cleaned off from the previous guest and was still dirty. Only after she brought our drinks did she think to wipe the table ?? and then she asked us IF we wanted it cleaned...ummmm YES! We then ordered (this is after about 25 minutes being there). We ordered the chicken alfredo dish and my son a personal pizza. 30 minutes after that, our salads came. The salads were okay and tasted good. The bread that came out with that was good as well. Then our food came. It was DISGUSTING. The noodles in the chicken alfredo were gummy and tasteless and I'm not exaggerating. There was no salt, no pepper, no taste. The chicken was gross. My sons personal pizza was burnt around the edges, so much so that he would hardly touch it. By this time we had been there for well over an hour. I had to flag down a waitress to ask her to bring our check (mind you there had been no one to come by to ask to refill our drinks, ask if we were okay, etc.). After our check came and we had the payment on the table, she never returned to get it. I had to personally take it up to the register and it was $40.45 for that awful meal. We did take three to go boxes full of the food ?? FOR THE DOGS! That was the most expensive dog food I've ever bought. Your best bet ?? Go across the street to Del Sol's Mexican Restaurant. The food AND SERVICE there are fantastic. Should have stuck to what we knew was good! At least now we know not to go back there EVER.

1 Stars: Sals Italian Restaurant is THE WORST EVER (by Cynthia P.)

Will never eat here again. The chicken was so hard you could not cut if with a knife and then had the nerve to charge for the salad that was included in the meal price because I ate the salad. When I attempted to speak with the owner I was informed that he was too busy to speak with me. When I returned the owner accused me of trying to get a free meal by eating the salad and not the hard day old chicken in my dish. Your life is at risk by eathing here. They re-serve picked over food to unsuspecting customers.

Sal's is a great place to take the family or dinner for a couple. It is a nice, clean restaurant, but is very casual dining. The food is great and the service is great!!!

If you like Italian food, then this is the place for you! Springville offers some great dining without all the crowds you find closer into Birmingham.
