Salvatore Scallopini Italian

I used to go to Sal's all the time. Not just this one, but the one in Eastpointe as well. They used to be so great! The manager they had a few years ago really cared for the place, but now...let's just say the staff could care less. The owner seems to never be there, and when he is he is indifferent to the many problems. The management does not seem to care as the old manager did. The food is NEVER fresh. Almost everything is nuked. Also, there is NO consistency. And what happened to the "home made pasta?" They haven't made their pasta in forever. Last time my girl and I went they had boxes of dry pasta being shipped in! FALSE ADVERTISING GUYS! The only positive thing they've got going for them in the last two years is getting a liquor license. Beyond that, they need to get some SERIOUS managers in there. The cooks need to start caring about what they are serving, and the owner/owners needs to start getting fresh ingredients. Be smart, find that manager you had a while back and bring him back! Otherwise, you should close the doors and give up.

If you want an Italian restaraunt that is different from all of the major chains (Olive Garden etc). then this is your place! It has a very smalltown mom and pops feel. The staff is incredible. The food is great! Try the Minestrone soup, it's the best I have ever had!

Salvatore Scallopini's serves great Italian food at a very reasonable price. The wait is not too long for a table and the service is very good. They do not serve liquor.

PROS: Good food
CONS: No liquor license
