Welcome to Papa Sal's: A Taste of Italy in the Heart of Clay!
Embark on an unforgettable Italian culinary journey at Papa Sal's, where our family's
passion for authentic Sicilian flavors comes to life in every dish. Nestled in the close-knit
community of Clay, right across from the Clay Post Office on Old Springville Road, we're
a family-owned Italian restaurant that believes great food brings us all together.
A Tale of Flavor, Family, and Heritage
Our founder, Sal Cifuentes, made a name for himself in Birmingham by crafting
incredible Italian experiences. His love for small towns and family-oriented communities
inspired his son, Keith Cifuentes, to continue his father's vision at Papa Sal's.
From running Sal's Italian Restaurant in Springville to Fratelli's in Odenville, our family
has been wowing diners for generations with culinary excellence. Now, we bring the best
of our Sicilian heritage to the heart of Clay.
The Papa Sal's Experience: A Feast for the Senses
At Papa Sal's, we're proud of our time-honored recipes, passed down through
generations, and our commitment to using the finest ingredients like imported pasta and
made-from-scratch salad dressings.
Feast on our signature dish: the tender, fresh-cut ribeye steak, marinated to perfection
and cooked with amore using an heirloom family recipe. Or tantalize your taste buds
with a symphony of traditional delights, from lasagna and manicotti to eggplant
parmigiana and baked ravioli. Don't forget our mouthwatering sandwiches and fresh,
crisp salads that perfectly complement our restaurant's warm, welcoming atmosphere.
