Salute’ Ristorante Italiano serves house-made, delicious, reasonably priced, high-quality Italian food with a modern flair. This Downtown Bend Italian eatery is a more contemporary iteration of the quintessential Italian restaurant and serves decadent Italian fare made with local, seasonal flavors, classic cocktails and a carefully selected award-winning wine list in an intimate, unpretentious, romantic space. The diminutive but out of this world delicious menu has classic favorites like handmade Ravioli and authentic Carbonara created by Executive Chef Josh Habenicht. Chef’s seasonal menus always keep it fresh and exciting. Start your evening with Prawns Amaretto, Beef Carpaccio, or pan-fried Brussels sprouts. Delve into their indulgent house specialties like Lamb Osso Bucco, Seafood Pesto, and Beef Tenderloin Gorgonzola. Of course, don’t forget to leave room for dessert, especially for their Cannoli and Tiramisu.
