Salute E Vita Ristorante - Richmond

Had a great meal and Nembe enjoying a couple bottles of wine with us was the icing on the cake. We will miss it, but looking forward to her next endeavor!

So sad that Salute is closing. The place was packed, service and food were fabulous.

First dish: the clams had sand in them and also in the linguini dish. Second dish: tagliatelle wasn't what I expected and was more like a cheese macaroni (just glutinous amounts of cheese). I barely ate any and the waiter asked if I wanted my almost entire remaining dish to be boxed up and I said no thank you. IMHO a good waiter or restaurant will ask about your dish ... not this place. They didn't seem to care.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, its owner, staff, food. The closing will be a real loss, but we cannot wait to visit the new location.

Food was delicious place is lovely. I’m baffled as to why the landlord does not support Menbe Salute. Menbe has been an inspiration showing how one person can make a huge difference in a community. You can be assured we will support her new venture!
