Salento Closed: Break Officially Too Long

We thought we hit break-rock-bottom when we caught ourselves reciting the Movies on Demand preview under our breath and seriously considering whether or not to watch Bronies on Netflix. We were wrong—break just got much worse. Salento, the Italian BYO at 22^nd and Walnut where everyone celebrated their 19^th/24^th birthday, has closed for good.

Shall we compare Salento to a summer's day? K, sure, why not. It was accessible via Penn Transit, had a creepy yet still flattering waiter, and OMG that chicken breast with the white balsamic and golden raisins. Bless.

We will miss you, bb. While bringing a water bottle full of Franzia to the Houston pasta line gets the job done, it is not the same. RIP.
