Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Salem

Great food – had the steak tips and lobster ravioli. Great drinks – had the Fitz Martini.

We came at the very busy time, Valentine’s Day. Despite our reservation we had to wait for about half hour though it was expected considering circumstances. What we didn’t realize the restaurant expanded the space with veranda. While heated the corner area was not the most comfortable space for people over 60. Huge respect to the restaurant team. After I requested to change our seating to “real” indoor area they were fast to find us the first freed table so the rest of our dinner was perfect.

Unreal food! We ate her for Valentine’s Day and every part of the experience was fantastic. The wine pairings were a great addition and paired beautifully with each course.

Went for a valentines 3 course fixed price offering and every thing exceeded expectations. Excellent flavor in every dish served. Wine and food very good value. Sat in back and felt it was better choice than towards front door. Highly recommend

Pellana never disappoints! We came the first time for our after wedding dinner and now on our anniversary since then. Our server Carlyn was amazing and attentive and so was the rest of the staff, including the front staff and food runners. The food is absolutely wonderful and we have never had a bad meal here. Started with the bread basket which we devoured and I got the shrimp cocktail and hubs got the French onion soup, so tasty! I got the filet and hubs got the ribeye and both were cooked perfectly. We shared the baked potato and brussels sprouts. We had no room for dessert. We go for our anniversary dinner only but I would love to try lunch or their brunch which the menus also look amazing. Always excited to go to Pellana and sad when our dinner is done and time to leave lol.
