To be fair, I only get take-out there these days, and April generally is picking up. Has it gotten better?

There are still bars of questionable repute, no? God help us if gentrification is hitting Stemmons...

I must be eating different items at Sal's than micastio is: Granted, I tend towards the entrees over the pizza, but I've always found it stellar too.

Get the blue cheese instead of the house dressing on your salad and be sure to get garlic cheese bread. All entrees are great, but when I need comfort food, there is no better Italian dish in town than their spaghetti meat sauce. The secret is the more-meat-than-sauce sauce that has the consistency of a Cincy chili but the spices of an Italian dish. Believe me-- I'm usually the last one to be so pedestrian as to order spaghetti, but... damn!

On rare occasions I'll stray for the chicken or veal parm or the sausage.

Staff is friendly and chatty. I only regret that I'm no longer close enough for delivery. But even cross-town, takeout is so piping hot it's still on-point when you get home.

And did I mention it's pretty cheap too?

Well worth the trip into this otherwise seedy Wycliff shopping center. The cop cars parked at the door mean that you're still pretty safe.
