Saluti's — Restaurant in Jackson

This is an updated review

We were looking forward to dining at Saluti's new location in downtown Jackson...what a complete disappointment.

Prior to their moving, Saluti's was a solid 5-star review every time we visited.

Now, in their new location, we will not be returning.

The new location itself is fine, clean and welcoming, but that, unfortunately, is where the "good" ends.

To begin with, the service was terrible and we were treated like an afterthought.

Then they were out of a few appetizers...and this was at 5pm, at the beginning of dinner service.

The appetizers we did get was very lacking....meatballs; they were very small (not much bigger than packaged meatballs one buys at the grocery store), and only 3 of them.

The dinner salad was also very small, served on a plate not much larger than a tea cup saucer.

They got my wife's order wrong, and despite me asking for light spice with my entrée, it was so incredibly spicy hot I could not taste anything in the dish...the pasta, the Italian sausage, the Alfredo sauce, all completely lost over the red pepper flakes.

The bread was hard, stale and tasteless.

Sadly, what was once our absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Amador County has, with this single (and extremely expensive) meal, ensured we will...

Food and drinks were good. BUT the cook was spouting off the entire time we were there loud enough to where everyone could hear and when I asked to speak with the manager she came out and informed me that the cook was her husband and completely dismissed the fact that he was being so foul, when I asked if they were just shorthanded that day she snapped back saying that they weren't short handed even tho both of the owners had to work there in order for things to go semi-smoothly. The customer service was decent and our waitress was amazing. But the work environment felt super toxic and was obviously making everyone in the restaurant uncomfortable. I feel like new management and hiring some more employees are the only things holding back the business from being truly successful. And the soup had decent flavor but the minestrone soup had little to no noodles and the vegetables should have been cut down to size. I will not be returning because the experience and atmosphere, although beautiful, was so chaotic and I felt extremely disrespected as a...

Came in for the first time with mom & grandma today on a Tuesday afternoonaround 2pm, and it wasn't crowded. I ordered a Raspberry Italian soda (never had one before), Shrimp Scampi, and the Tomato Bisque. We all ordered different things, and we all loved what we got! The tomato bisque was really thick and creamy, I usually don't like plain tomato soups but I loved this and would always want this soup when I come in the future. It was delicious and had a lot of flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was really tasty, and was cooked in a more authentic way than it is in other restaurants. The Scampi's wine sauce was very good, and not overly garlicky. Overall, it's easy to tell that the quality of the food is excellent and the freshness makes a big difference. Some of the food and wine is locally sourced too, which is nice. My mother and I are not local, but grandma is local and hopes to eat here again soon! I had a good experience today and the whole family would love to come back and eat...
