Trattoria Salve - Durham

This was great! Growing up in North Jersey and knowing great Italian food, this is as close as I've come here! The pasta, cheesecake, tiramisu and cannoli are homemade!!!! We always test a place by the bread they serve. So good with eco and balsamic dip. Then eggplant parmesan crisp and cheesy, sauce fresh and pasta cooked perfectly. Chicken marsala with fresh vegetable and roasted potatoes. The chicken was super tender and the cramini mushrooms were great. Cheesecake to die for!! Jonny please stay forever! Steve and Christine

Perfect evening for a Birthday dinner! Thank you to Evan and Austin for such a special evening! Cocktails, authentic Italian food, wonderful service and great chill atmosphere! We enjoyed everything! This is a unique little gem in the Brightleaf District! Bon Apetito!

Great new Italian restaurant we were lucky to find, easy walk from Residence Inn. The Fritto Misto (pictured) with the fried lemons was wonderful! The Pappardelle Veal Bolognese was even better than the Mezzi Rigatoni, which had perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp and every bite was delicious. We are looking forward to returning often while in town.

Highly recommend. Great food, great bar, and super service. Vodka sauce is a favorite. In the the brightleaf area, so it is easy to get in and out.

Love the food and atmosphere. the service is amazing! Everything is reasonably priced. You cant go wrong dining here.
