Salvatore's Italian Prime

There are a lot of steakhouses in Buffalo and I've eaten at pretty much each one. Last night my wife and I visited Salvatore's and it's one of the best decisions we've made.

We got married 2 days prior to a gift certificate expiring. I emailed Mr. Salvatore to see if we could still use it a few days after the expiration in which he agreed. Make sure you have a charges battery on your smart phone because your going to want to take pictures as soon as you enter. We were warmly greeted by the host and server. Even the bus boy introduced himself and asked we let him know if we needed anything!

I ordered a filet which gulf shrimp and my wife had the Salvatore's Classic. Delicious is an understatement! Laurie was our server and made us feel like old friends. Just a great overall experience.

We can't wait to come back!

Delicious food! Great service. I've been there twice already. Good for a night out with the girls or a date night. I'll be back again.

I was so excited to come to Salvatore's as it's "Buffalo's finest" restaurant. I have been to many great restaurants and I wouldn't put Italian Prime in my top 5.

The cocktails are fantastic, the decor is amazing... Seriously, the light fixtures are absolutely stunning. There are several different rooms that can be blocked off for private parties. The bread they give you in the

beginning of your meal was superb. The prices are high but about what you would expect for fine dining. What I wasn't expecting was how awful my lobster risotto was. Three of our table of seven got the lobster risotto and all had the same complaints... Risotto was SO salty. And the lobster was flavorless and overcooked. A $56 meal should be at least *good* at it's worst. But I ended up bringing my meal home because I couldn't eat it. Even worse, my sister got the shrimp and scallops risotto which was the same risotto but with CAPERS, which made it inedible due to the salt content. Very disappointing. However, the prime rib was great as well as the grouper special. So the food is good depending on what you get. Fine dining should never be a gamble.

Disappointed. If I had to title this would be "past glory". You drive into the lot which is full of pot holes. Inside things felt neglected and old. Carpets were dirty. Was seated adjacent to Perla which then had loud music. Service was fine food not so much. Oysters not properly shucked, onion soup had oily film on top, my entre was bland and prices very inflated. Sorry seems chef Ramsay needs a visit to help them out but seems ownership has stopped caring

My boyfriend booked a reservation for Italian Prime for our Valentine's Day Dinner. I ordered a show on the beach sangria and it was delicious and refreshing. Each entree comes with a choice of salad, soup, or appetizer. I ordered the lobster risotto with the lobster bisque. I really enjoyed the lobster risotto. It also had shiitake mushrooms and asparagus which tied in nicely. The inside was pretty upscale but I also noticed people wearing hoodies and jeans which I thought was not appropriate. Our waiter was attentive to our table. I would return!

Not what it once was. Scheduled a funeral luncheon knowing that Salvatore's could handle it and we wouldn't have to worry about anything, especially under the circumstances. Well we were wrong... they weren't ready for us upon arrival. They had the wrong time, set us up for a buffet, when plated meals were ordered and didn't have the vegetable. They hustled to serve us with an average meal and ice cold dessert.
No apology, no adjustment to the bill...no more Salvatore's for us.

Ambiance is amazingggggg out waiter Ken was also amazinggggg appetizer we started with was french onion soup and crab stuffed mushrooms delicious!!!!! Thats when it go downhill i ordered 12 oz airline chicken it was just grilled chicken nothing fancy regular unseasoned mashed potatoes and it came with asparagus wrapped in bacon well I don't eat pork and didn't know it was bacon because the menu didn't say it anywhere i was so disappointed but Ken made it right and wad fast he brought me broccolini instead the sauce tasted like package gravy mixed with soy sauce and water...we also ordered chicken marsala that was my same chicken piece with flour and fried same gravy with mushrooms on top! Not impressed but veryyyy pretty presentation if you care about that.

Another fabulous dining experience at Salvatore's, for my birthday this time. Our waiter Giovanni was top-notch, truly. Do try the black truffle Arancini... it's the best I ever had!

I went for Valentine's dinner. The wait was pretty long, but the food was worth it. Our server was very attentive! It was a great time!

Updated to include emails (attached in photos) and resolution.
Salvatore's contact appears to be primarily concerned with controlling the method of communication, never took responsibility or apologized, never found or returned our property, only followed up when reminded repeatedly, but did write a check. Overall a very disappointing and concerning experience. Beware!

One of my very favorites. Food is delicious, service is fantastic, and I love the atmosphere.
