Authentic Taste of Italy
Bringing authentic Italian cuisine to the heart of West Lakeview, Sal’s Trattoria is a family-friendly neighborhood restaurant. It is the combined vision of Partner Joseph Arnold, Managing Partner Preston Owen and Chef/Partner Dakota Neckvatal, who also own and operate the acclaimed Butcher & the Burger in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.
Chef Dakota Neckvatal pays homage to classic Italian fare on Sal’s well-rounded menu, serving house made antipasti, salads, pastas, entrees and more. The restaurant is open for dinner six days a week (closed Mondays), providing a charming dining experience for both the surrounding neighborhood and all those who appreciate a finely prepared Italian meal.
