Salvatori's Fort Wayne North — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

My husband and I decided to try this place instead of Olive Garden and we are so glad we did. The service is absolutely amazing. There was at least 1 person up at the host stand at all times. Everyone we personally came across were all so friendly and ready to help or answer questions. When I went to find the bathroom, I didn’t even have to say words lol. I think it was a manager speaking with 2 or 3 other employees up by the host stand and they noticed me right away. The manager instantly greets me with a smile and asks if I need help with anything or if I was looking for the bathroom, like she could read my mind lol. All I had to say was yes and thank you lol. The only downfall I found from this place was that there aren’t any trash cans inside the stalls for feminine hygiene products. The bathroom was very clean though and the stall door locked, which is always a bonus lol.

The bartender was so on point with everything and really knew his stuff. I don’t know if he ever responded to my questions with any answer close to “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure”. The fact that he boxed our leftovers up for us was mind blowing. I haven’t been to a restaurant with that level of service in YEARS! We honestly didn’t feel like we even had to wait long for our food. We ordered an appetizer when we ordered our drinks. He brought our drinks to us and we talked a little bit about the menu and ordered our meals. I went to the bathroom and came back to our appetizer and my husband already digging into his salad. We finished our appetizer and maybe waited 4 minutes until our entrees came out. It was the fastest service we have had in awhile.

As far as the food goes, it was good and worth the money. You get what you pay for. We had the bruschetta for our appetizer and it was perfect. The Caesar salad was fresh. My husband ordered one of the specials. I think it was a Cajun sausage pasta? I can’t remember now. He loved it though. I had the Chicken Parmigiana and there was enough pasta on my plate to feed 3 people lol. The sauce was good and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the chicken was the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant lol. It was so dry and chewy. I LOVE chicken parm and I think Olive Garden beat them by a long shot in the flavor department and the fact they give you breadsticks and salad. However, Salvatori’s charged $1-$2 less than OG does and they fill their massive plates. My husband NEVER has leftovers to take home, (even after eating the endless breadsticks and salad at OG), and he didn’t get through half of this dish if that tells you anything about portion size.

If you are looking for great service and Italian food, I definitely recommend coming here. I will return in the...

I decided to try this place for my anniversary; unfortunately. I love authentic Italian EVERYTHING and thought that was what I was walking into. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo which completely went to waste. The pasta’s lack of flavor, the aftertaste and the sauce’s texture were a few of too many other issues. The chicken was seasoned well but unforgivingly dry. On top of all of this, I was recommended my meal! I originally told the waiter that I wanted to share the chicken Parmesan plate with my partner. I was told it could easily feed two. He insisted I would be happy with their Alfredo! Sad to say, I should’ve stuck to my first thought. When the manager came by, he had a very nice-nasty approach. He pretended to “check” on our table. He visibly saw me not eating. He did not offer to remove the meal from my bill or my table- even though it was obvious that I barely touched it and by my face I was disturbed. He instead offered me to take it home anyway and recook it on my stovetop with milk and the seasonings that I like and stir until I get the consistency and flavor that I like. I felt so embarrassed about not standing up for myself in the moment but I just wanted to go. (This happened last month but I came back to leave a review because I don’t ever want someone to go through what I did!) They proceeded to ignore my disappointment, package my food up and send me on my merry way. The other staff stood by and talked to my partner about things that had nothing to do with our terrible experience nor a simple, “I’m sorry you didn’t like your food.” No one offered any empathy… KNOWING that I was paying a pretty penny just to leave hungry. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME! I understand that some people actually do scam by eating their whole meal and wanting it free but this was NOT the case. My partner worked overtime to reassure me that I was not overreacting and the only thing he could do to relieve my irritation was letting me know we will never return here nor refer a single friend, colleague or stranger to this place! FYI: I tried to fix it at home but it still was an awful time. I had to throw it all away! So much food! Anyways, you’re welcome for the donation! I can’t wait to tell this VERY “special” anniversary story one day and laugh… it’s still too soon! Please speak up for yourself if you DO decide to give this place a try! I’d recommend getting one plate and trying it with as many people as you can so they can focus on QUALITY and not quantity. Or simply do...

Salvatori’s was the perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying brunch. Exactly the kind of place where you can sit back, savor every bite, and let the flavors transport you. I stopped in for brunch, and from the first bite to the last spoonful, it was an experience worth raving about.

I started with the Meatball Appetizer, these weren’t just any meatballs. They were tender, hand-rolled perfection, juicy, rich, and infused with just the right blend of seasoning. As I cut into them, they practically melted into the deep, velvety meat sauce that was bursting with slow-cooked, savory goodness. The Mancini peppers and onions added a hint of sweetness and a touch of heat, creating a perfect contrast to the bold, meaty flavors. And then came the crowning glory, a blanket of gooey, golden mozzarella, baked to perfection, stretching with every bite. The toasted garlic bread on the side? Buttery, crisp, and the perfect tool for soaking up every last drop of that incredible sauce.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I took my first sip of the Italian Wedding Soup and it felt like a warm embrace in a bowl. The broth was light yet layered with depth, delicately seasoned to enhance every ingredient without overpowering them. Floating in this rich, golden broth were bite-sized meatballs so tender they practically dissolved on my tongue. The tiny pasta added a satisfying chew, while the onions, carrots, and tomatoes infused a subtle sweetness that balanced out the savory elements. The fresh spinach swirled through each spoonful, bringing brightness and freshness to an already perfect dish.

What truly made this meal unforgettable was how beautifully everything worked together—the bold, cheesy indulgence of the meatballs meeting the delicate warmth of the soup. Every bite, every sip, every flavor felt intentional, like a symphony of textures and tastes playing in perfect harmony. I’ll definitely be...
