We live about 45 minutes from Edinburg and have had trouble finding good places to eat. We are so happy we discovered Sal’s. We went for lunch without a reservation and had no trouble getting a table. The food is FANTASTIC and we got great service. I had spaghettini with arrabiata sauce and my husband had the sausage and peppers sub. Both were amazing and the portions were very generous. I fully expected to have some left over to take home, but it was so good, I just kept eating until it was gone. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other build-your-own pasta combinations. We spent $37, which, unfortunately, these days, is not a huge sum for a meal for two. We don’t eat out much because it’s so expensive, but this time, I really felt like we got our money’s worth and more! Well done, Sal’s!
Best meal by far we've had traveling up from Florida. Nicest staff by far our server Khia was so nice. Everyone treated us like regulars. The food, fried shrimp and Cannelloni were fantastic, salads delicious and olive oil for dipping fresh bread. pink lemonade Great prices / big delicious portions. Hopefully stopping in November on our way home.
Great dinner with friends at Sal's last night. Super friendly staff that was very attentive however didn't rush us through dinner. The fresh salad and warm dinner rolls was a wonderful start to our pasta and pork tenderloin main course. Hearty portions means I'm not cooking dinner the next day.
We tried Sal's Bistro for the first time. We ordered pizza and fries to eat in the diningroom. Our meals was prepared perfectly! However while sitting there i could see some amazing looking dishes coming out of the kitchen i was rethinking my decision to order pizza. The dining room was clean the waitress was extremely friendly and professional. Very reasonably priced. I absolutely recommend eating here.
I have been wanting to have dinner here for a long time. I haven't been there for over 10 yrs. I was not disappointed! I ordered Chicken Marsala. Best I ever had. Looking forward to my leftovers. Service was friendly and atmosphere was great.
I recently ordered a large pan of lasagna, salad, and dinner rolls for a meeting. Of the folks present, 14 enjoyed dinner. I ordered it the day prior to be picked up atb6pm the following day. The food was absolutely hot and ready to when I arrived. They helped me to load everything into my vehicle without hesitation. Our dinner was absolutely great. The salad was fresh, crisp, and tasty. The lasagna, you have to go there try it. Extremely flavorful, hot, and fresh! Definitely going back! I'm sorry, we ate everything and didn't take the time for a picture...
September 2025 Excellent meal as always. Great service. Welcoming atmosphere. Calamari appetizer was awesome as was salad, rolls, and Diavolo spaghettini pasta! And the chianti wine. Can't wait to return! March, 2024 Sal's Bistro is now open for lunch! Same welcoming proprietors who also serve as waitstaff and chef! Great food. Love the warm rolls with garlic olive oil, crisp salads, excellent sphaghettini! 2023 Back again. Such a warm inviting place. Gracious staff. Excellent salads. The calamari remains spectacular! Canolloni is a great choice. You can't go wrong with the "create your own pasta" creation options! 2021 Great homemade Italian meals in a cozy setting. Homemade soup. Delicious pasta ( especially the gnocchi) Specialties --match with a variety of excellent sauces of your choice. The Gypsy sauce with mushrooms fresh tomato black olives and artichokes was especially delicious.So was the funghetti mushroom sauce. For appetizers, i reccomend the sauteed calamari... with garlic and pepper relish, amazing. The eggplant appetizer is also something to write home about! Relaxing Italian music to accompany the meal. Excellent, I will be back!
