We got delivery from Sal's while in Williamsburg. The food was slightly below average sub shop Italian food - my local small town shops in Maryland are much better. I'm not sure who rated this place best in Williamsburg, but if it is, I feel sorry for the city.

My grandma and I ordered Gnocchi, which were balloon-like and had sauce that tasted like it was out of a can. We also got Eggplant Parmigiana, which was ok, but not crispy, with only a little cheese and barely any sauce. The salads that came with the meal were pretty good and had a nice peppercorn dressing.

It took nearly an hour and a half for the food to arrive, though we were told about 45 mins. The delivery guy was nice, and delivery as an option was convenient. It was also good that they threw in forks, knives and paper plates.

Overall, I was expecting really good casual Italian food and got something closer to mediocre fast food. We were disappointed.

“Worst restaurant in Williamsburg”

Whoever said this place is good must be insane. Maybe we just had a bad night, but nothing we had was good. The food was undercooked, and if they had taken the time to finish it maybe it wouldnt have been so horrible. I had Chicken Marsala, which was at least 10 minutes underdone and disgusting. It was by far the worst meal I had in Williamsburg and I really regret wasting my time and money. I would never recommend this place to anyone and hope you all avoid it.

We loved Sal's - in fact, we loved it so much we ate there twice!

First, however, a big thank you to the person who posted a review saying it can be a little difficult to find. We passed it twice before we literally found it by accident. If you are on Richmond Road, just know that Sal's is just past Monticello Road and is in the corner of the shopping center (near Bloom's and a Hallmark store) on the west side of Richmond Road. But our perseverance paid off because this was definitely the place for great Italian food and pizza.

Before we left for Williamsburg, we looked up Sal's on the web and printed off their coupon for 10% off the price of dinner. If you fail to do this, they offer the same in the "Go Williamsburg" directory and magazine.

Sal's is like having dinner with your family. Many locals eat here and you can hear a lot of Italian spoken as well. It is informal, the service is friendly and efficient, the food is fabulous, and the prices are phenomenal. You will not get a better meal.

The pizza is great and the entrees melt in your mouth. In addition to pizza, we also had the veal parmesan and the manicotti. The desserts are works of art - DO NOT MISS THIS! Some restaurants are known for their desserts. Here is a restaurant that has lucious food and sets the same standard for their desserts.

The wine is very reasonable and good.

There are many choices in the Williamsburg area. You will do your stomach and your wallet a real favor by eating at Sal's.

We ate one evening at Sal's by Victor. We always like to try local restaurants and avoid the chains as much as possible so picking Sal's by Victor seemed like a good choice. I had the eggplant and my husband had a chicken, rosemary and garlic pasta dish on the specials. Both were very good. The meals are reasonable size and included a fairly good salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives. The restaurant has a lots of families and is very family friendly (i.e. affordable and accommodating to having younger children). So if you are looking for a super romantic dinner this isn't the place. To save 10% try to pick up the free restaurant guide book at CW visitor center or your hotel (there are many discount coupons in there). Also it is kind of tricky to find. The Food Lion has changed hands and is now a 'Blooms' supermarket. It is in the plaza with the CVS and Radio Shack on Richmond Ave. It is in the very corner of the plaza.

With all the advertising for dinning options in Williamsburg we took a chance on Sal's by Victor. The resturant is located in a shopping center. The dinning atmposhere is very casual. All I can say is the food is YUMMY!! We ate there three times during our five day stay in Williamsburg. Order a Canolli you won't be dissapointed
