I had high hopes as I had not been to Salerno’s in years… unfortunately the experience and dinner was not up to expectations… The service was really bad, had to ask for napkins, water, silverware replacements after appetizers… waiters were more focused on flirting with hostess than serving customers. Food was ok, but not great - a shame as it was much better years ago.Is this helpful?

Love the decor on the inside, feels like you’re in Italy. Homemade pasta, burrata cheese, short ribs all were delicious. This restaurant is perfect for a date night. We took our Italian family from Chicago and they loved it. It is also right in downtown Laguna walking distance to shops and the beach. Dress is nice casual.Is this helpful?
