One of San Diego’s favorite places for elegant dining, Salvatore’s has been the model for what a refined Italian restaurant should be since opening in 1987. Crisp, white linens, and fine china and stemware dress the tables of the main dining room, which features areas for groups as well as more intimate spaces for romantic dinners for two. Perfectly prepared plates of homemade lasagna; penne pasta with sautéed artichokes, zucchini, mushrooms, peas, and prosciutto; and eggplant- and mushroom-filled ravioli are served by a friendly and efficient staff, both of which keep locals coming back for more.
