Stinson recognizes the importance of an easy, quick lunch that won’t break the bank and his $9.99 Lunch Menu cannot be beat. The Four Cheese Tortellini is a house favorite, showcasing mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta and Romano cheeses in a house Alfredo sauce. A customer favorite is the Eggplant Gondola, Stinson’s adaption of the classic Eggplant Pirogue, with thinly fried eggplant served over linguine and topped with a delectable shrimp and crawfish sauce. My hands-down favorite, however, is the newest addition: Fresh Gnocchi and Shrimp Tomato Basil Cream Sauce. Gnocchi is a small, pillow-like pasta ball made from potatoes. If it’s not your favorite, then you likely haven’t had it fresh. Salute’s handmade gnocchi is what I imagine a cloud would be like. It’s so soft and delicate and absolutely indulgent. The house tomato basil cream sauce and shrimp take this dish over the top. It is an absolute must try!
The seafood dishes at Salute are an excellent choice. One
of Stinson’s favorites is the Grilled Seafood Plate featuring grilled shrimp, blackened scallops, and a house crab cake, all accompanied by fresh vegetables. Still, for those who are looking for that true Italian experience, the Chicken Alfredo and the Lasagna al Forno are there just for you! Don’t forget to end your meal with an incredible Cannoli, Salute’s signature Tiramisu, or, let’s be honest, you should just get both!
What started as primarily an Italian restaurant has grown to include the seafood dishes that we on the Gulf Coast love, as well as healthy options for those days you know you can’t splurge. Boasting a family-friendly environment, Salute loves hosting birthdays, celebrations, work events and much more.
Stinson’s goals has always been to provide delicious meals to
his customers and in such a way that meets all their needs. Years of continual research has resulted in a restaurant that caters to everyone. If you ask Stinson what’s his secret weapon for keeping Salute so successful he would smile and say “By simply making great food.”
