One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The staff was professional and friendly. The view and atmosphere are unique and absolutely beautiful. We had antipasto for our Appetizers and everything pizza. Every single bite was delicious. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

The service was very attentive to our needs. Drink refills were provided without having to ask. The bread, soups, salads, and pasta entrees were all house-made and prepared as ordered. The soups were very hearty and flavorful. The pasta entrees were large portion sizes and you can taste the quality of the food is spectacular. The mozzarella sticks and fried zucchini appetizers we're plenty big to share. Beautiful view of the Fox River while dining inside.

Beautiful view! Jeanette was a great waitress and very attentive. Breaded clams and calamari were done perfectly. The veal was excellent. Will definitely come back to try the pizza that looked delicious!

We had a fantastic time at Salerno's On the Fox. The atmosphere was warm, family-owned, and romantic. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and provided a wonderful experience. We had the shrimp scampi, baked cavatelli, a salad with house-made Italian dressing, and the minestrone soup, all paired with the house red wine. I don't remember the last time I had such good Italian food. The quality and care that went into each dish were evident in every bite. I can't say enough good things!

We've enjoyed both dine-in and carry-out for pasta. My husband loves spinach lasagna. I prefer the fettuccine alfredo. For dine-in, the entree includes a generous salad and warm bread. Portions are plenty for two meals. Service has always been good in our experiences.

This review is for pizza only. We dined in for it, and the pizza is phenomenal. It came out piping hot and they are very generous with the toppings. The service was terrific. Friendly and attentive.
