"Bangin! Everything was incredibly flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. If you want proper Latin food on the island this is the spot. Right when we walked in the owner/staff were very friendly and helpful. She gave us samples of everything we wanted to try to help us decide what we would like to order. The pork/rib combo was my favorite, the chicken was delicious as well. Our plates were massive combos of yellow rice beans, pork/rib and chicken with sweet plantains. I don’t know how I managed to almost finish everything but it was too good not to. We were also given their home made hot sauce which was spicyyy (for me at least) and packed with a punch of flavor. I couldn’t leave without trying their tres leches, and it did not disappoint. Sweet but not too sweet, with hints of spices coming through. The best part is that it was sitting in the delicious dessert soup so you can soak the cake in for more flavor. They also have a new Nutella tres leches I will have to try the next time I visit. And their Dominican sodas are very tasty and a bit less sweet than Jarritos."

"The food was very good; the main waiter was very kind but his 2 other waitresses made a few mistakes. The menu on OpenTable is different than what they gave us- price-wise and food-wise. Lastly, there was a very loud family behind us and it was so distracting. It seemed like an off night."

"First of all, it is important to note that this is a takeout restaurant, so there is no dining atmosphere. I have been ordering takeout from this place for years and have always had good results. The key to getting good food from any Chinese takeout place is knowing which dishes are their specialty. It might involve some trial and error, but you can always ask the chef or cashier for their favorite dishes to try. I highly recommend the General Tso's Chicken and the Garlic Chicken, which come with a variety of vegetables and delicious flavors. The Egg Rolls are also tasty and crunchy. The Shrimp Fried Rice and Lo Mein are good choices as well. If you're looking for something really spicy, go for the Singapore Mei Fun - it packs a lot of heat! The service is typical for a takeout place, but the staff is friendly enough. They work long hours and are open even on most holidays, indicating that it is likely a family-run business. I am a big supporter of these independent, non-franchised businesses, as they seem to be disappearing. Overall, I give this place a thumbs up for their delicious food and convenient hours of operation."

"My friends and I were in a room with 2 parties going on. It was extremely loud. The hostess should have known better. In addition, our waiter was annoyed that we wanted to use 4 cards to pay."

"Salvatore, Anna, and the excellent team at Salvatore's of Elmont created an enjoyable and memorable night for our party of 40 people. The outdoor seating was comfortable and accommodating. The food was served piping hot, which I appreciate, and was delicious; there was a lot more than we could finish and we took home dishes for lunch tomorrow. We can't wait for our next dinner at Salvatore's. Thank you everyone at Salvatore's! 5-Stars!"
