One of my favorite restaurants on the UES by far! The mac & cheese can be made gluten free and it's AMAZING. We also loved their roasted artichoke salad, paella, tuna tartare, and hamburger! The cozy atmosphere here is unmatched and this place is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend making a reservation because it's definitely a popular spot

Shout out to the manager that was working that night. I have celiac and was originally trying to make my order through the app but it was not accepting my phone number and would not let me proceed. When I got to the counter, I completely forgot to request a gluten-free bun, and had to use the bathroom as soon as I finished placing my order. I felt soooo bad, because my order was basically ready by the time I got back and that’s when I realized I forgot to say GF bun. The manager was in the front fixing a few signs, and aside from being very attentive to customers that were just coming in, he spoke to his workers in a really nice tone, gave great direction and made me feel less bad about forgetting. He had them redo the order and when I offered to pay the difference for the bun, he said it was fine. He also cares about feedback and told me I could always leave a review and I immediately felt more relief, since I can at least give him his kudos for being so great! He seriously deserves a raise! I wish I would have gotten his name, because he made my night!

Wanted takeaway tacos but I am celiac and I usually don’t trust restaurants with cross-contamination so I went for pick-up instead of delivery. Pick-up allows me to be the annoying customer, over-explain gluten contamination, warn them about its danger for me. I hate being that person but, based on my experience, I wouldn’t be taken into consideration otherwise. The employees were nice, I explained I couldn’t have chips if they were fried in the same oil they used for frying breaded food. They confirmed, indeed, that they fried everything in the same oil. They told me tacos were safe though so I went with that and ordered food for my friend too. I took Carne Asada taco and repeated once again “please tell the kitchen to pay attention.” 20 mins later my taco and the other food are ready and I take them home. Opened the bag, my taco was covered with crispy tortilla strips. The menu did mention them under Carne Asada taco but I had naively thought they would pay attention, which is the only thing I had asked for. My friend liked her food. However, honestly, I wouldn’t recommend a place where I felt unsafe and unheard.

$22 for a brisket meal that consisted of a very light portion of brisket, a small side of cole slaw and baked beans. The taste was decent but definitely not filling. Some of the servers seemed to be clueless as to what items were gluten-free.

I was recommended this place to bring my mom as she has a gluten allergy, and they were lovely! Brought out gluten free bread and pasta with no contamination issues. I loved my aglio e olio and everyone at the table had a great time. Expensive but worth it

We had the loveliest summer evening at this restaurant. Blue loved it because he could observe the world passing by from his “balcony” and I loved it because they serve amazing homemade gluten free fettuccine! The clams pasta was amazing and the gavi white wine was the right choice to go with it.

I love Salvo's for so many reasons. First, the pizza is fantastic, and they have many other kinds of food that are truly tasty. They have many kinds of pasta, and all courses may be ordered gluten free or whole wheat. The prices are reasonable. A bottle of red wine is less than $20. Very cheap for a restaurant. Additionally they are kid friendly. I mean really friendly with kids. The waiters are very nice and patient. Hands down this is my favorite pizza place where I can take the kids, and find something vegan (like a pasta pomodoro) and have a glass of wine, and not burn a hole in my pocket. It's simply a win-win-win!
