We take pride and careful attention to the quality of our food and with the dedication of our whole family, it has taken Salvatore’s a step up…and in 1986 a few steps over, to the present location, 654 Stocking. And with my family’s addition including my brother’s wife Frances, and their two sons, Salvatore and Gabriel, my wife, Barbara and our son Emmanuel, here is where my family mixes tradition…the old and new. Now sit back. Savor your meal. Enjoy a beverage and be sure to make a date to come back.
