- WWesLos Angeles •3 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThe first thing you noticed about Salvatore‘s is the decor and the ambience. It really sets the mood. The service was great. The drinks were perfect. As a starter, we had the margarita pizza and it was delicious. We both have the specials of the day. The fish was a striped mass And beef was a bone in ribeye which was cooked perfectly only it was already cut off the bone into pieces, which I prefer not. However it was delicious so I give them 4.5 , everything was perfect except the portion size of the fish . Should be a full filetMore infoSalvatore's Cucina & LoungePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Downtown / Gaslamp•4.4
