Salernos on Grove

[LindaB]

Check out the new website for Salernos.  I was checking for their hours and thought I must have had the wrong Salernos.  But after calling them I soon found out the website is correct.  www.salernosbar.com

[Berwyn Patsy]

Maybe he sold the business?

After a stop at OOT, we went to Salernos on Grove.  It was about 9:30.  People were carrying tables out of the restaurant and putting them into a truck.  They emptied the entire dining area.  We opened the door and went in and were told "We're having a party, but you can still use the carryout."

[Berwyn Patsy]

I'll have to send Bear over to see what's going on, when he gets back from Florida!
I am going to assume he sold the business, why else would the decor change so drastically?

[MRS. NORTHSIDER]

OMG - I checked out the website and have to agree with Poppys assessment.  That's just what we need in the DD.  How bout them cowboy nights.  I can't wait to see what the clientele is like.  Looks like more business for the Berwyn Police.

Still good pizza though, right?

[frankie]

their pizza has been going downhill ever since they left 16th st

[frankie]

havent been to the roosevelt place in a long time

[ZORBA]

Huh?

Its the same recipe, made by the same people. How can it be going downhil?

[Crunchie]

I didn't see a menu. Are they just a Mexican bar now?

[ZORBA]

Hadn't eaten there in years, until Friday night.

The pizza still tastes the same.

And the place becomes a nightclub after 10 or 11 on Fridays and Saturdays, according to what the help told us.

There obviously has been some sort of remodel done (paint, stage, partitions, etc.). From what we were told, it now attracts a different type of clientele.

Pizza is still good though.

[Crunchie]

You'r saying it's still the old Italian restaurant type place, but becomes a Mexican nightclub late nights on Fri and Sat?

[ZORBA]

I didn't say anything about Mexican. I'm telling you what we were told.

[frankie]

the website says it all

[Berwyn Patsy]

So no more Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin music?
I didn't think the downstairs was that big, as to convert into a dance place.  The upstairs either.

[frankie]

silk, i just think the pizza was the best when it was on 16th st, dont get me wrong its still ok

[frankie]

i heard their is a good salernos off weber rd, a little to far though LOL

[frankie]

in this area there are so many good pizza places, it depends which one you have a taste for

[truman40]

We were there on Friday for our favorite Lenten treat, Dee's Pizza, spinach, onion and ricotta cheese on a thin crust pizza, yum!!!
Anyway the waitress mentioned that they turn the main floor into a nite club after hours. After the pizza we were too full to stick around so I don't know what the atmosphere is like.
I think it's just a way for them to fully utilize their establishment and I see nothing wrong with it. I believe other businesses have also tried this without much success so I wish them luck. Also before we all start playing God why don't we wait and see what happens. I haven't seen or heard of any negative activity and Salernos is a solid business in the DD.
