This used to be one of my favorite places to eat in Dayton, but after finding a sharp one inch piece of plastic in my meal I won't go back. The situation was not handled well by the staff. The waitress stated "at least it isn't glass". I'm guessing that if I ingested this plastic it would have done as... More

They may have the best sandwiches, too. I had a meatball sub during my most recent visit and you can tell the marinara is made fresh daily. And you have to appreciate a place that serves great wine. Since the closing of Dominic's several years ago, Mamma Di Salvo's ranks right up there as one of the best Italian restaurants... More

The waitress was not very nice and the the lady from the back seemed to be doing more work than the waitress. Our Salad literally was like two pieces off lettuce and one tomato. The chicken Marsala had way to much sauce and the chicken was under done. I think it could been allot better my friend and I ate... More

I could drink their house salad dressing. I hate the pewter plates though that they bring the salad on - gives me chills. UGH. Otherwise its a great old place.

Mama Disalvo's is a restaurant in Kettering that greatly reminds me of many Italian restaurants portrayed in mob movies. Cozy, friendly, with a decor right out of some movies. The menu is quite large and plays to just about anyone's palate. I am usually overwhelmed with choices because I want one of each. The servers are very attentive and courteous... More

My son and i had too much fast food on this March Break trip, so we decided to have some Italian. We have learned that Mamma Di Salvo's is the most popular Italian and we decided to give it a good try. Mama Di Salvo's is located North East of downtown Dayton and about 6 to 9 miles from it.... More

everything was excellent. Service was top notch and the food was well worth going back for. Atmosphere is a bit dark, but many places are like that.

This authentic Italian restaurant will not disappoint. The atmosphere is cozy . Not really a place for a quiet dinner since the room is always packed with patrons getting their gastronomic fill. An order of gnocchi and a glass of chianti will make your day!

Almost every evening, this Kettering landmark starts to fill up with customers at 5:00 p.m., so get there early or be prepared for a wait in a rather small but welcoming lobby. It has a complete menu, with almost too many choices. Veal parmesan is among my favorites. After many visits and observations, the staff is always helpful, with a... More
