Salerno's - Stratford

This business is permanently closed. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

CONNECTICUT HISTORY One of the greatest family-style restaurants of ALL TIME. Plum-Tomato season is a Rite. Of. Passage. Absolutely devastated they will close, and would mortgage my entire home for one more evening with New England’s greatest pie. Thank you Salerno’s, for being the kitchen of our generation. ️‍ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Ordered a pizza from Salerno's last week and was extremely disappointed. The food at this place went downhill pretty dramatically post COVID. The sauce was odd and the pizza was dry. Something was off about the whole thing. There are other places in Stratford that have much better pizza. I think this restaurant is just living off of its name.

I have been a customer for years and always loved this iconic restaurant. Tonight we went for dinner since it has been reopened for dining in, and the service was horrible to say the least. The waitresses were both extremely rude and the food was horrible. We actually canceled one of our dinners which was a simple chicken Parm dinner after we were told there was no eggplant, because it took extra long and the rest of the table ate after waiting for our dinners for almost an hour, and we were literally the only table in the restaurant. They didn't even have eggplant for eggplant. Parm, which I found to be bazaar, but putting a side, the terrible food the service really was horrible like I said, and I will sadly never go there again which makes me sad because I truly loved this iconic Place

Delicious salad and bread basket. However, the pizza was not right. We let the waitress know when she asked.The pizza sauce and meatball had no taste at all. The cheese seemed clumpy not stringy.We were told a seasoning packet previously used was not being used anymore ? .We were surprised that after expressing our disappointment that no courtesy adjustment was applied. I expected more from Salernos, it used to be a favorite. On a prior visit a few weeks ago another table asked the waitress if the business was under new management because they said the pizza and cheese did not seem the same to them.
