After a delay caused by the coronavirus, it opened Memorial Day weekend.<br \/>Courtesy Saluti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By Jill Nagy<br \/>\nSaluti, a new Italian restaurant at 25 Canada St. in Lake George, got off to a rocky start. They opened in February but had to close down in March because of the COVID pandemic. Then they re-opened after Memorial Day.<br \/>\nAccording to co-owner Jimmy Hartwyk, the biggest problem now is staffing because of the federal government cut-off of the usual stream of temporary workers from overseas.<br \/>\nBut, \u201cThings are going really well for us,\u201d Hartwyk said, \u201cI am pleasantly surprised.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt is not the year we thought we would have,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nRequirements for social distancing limit capacity and, in general, \u201cthrows a wrench into our business plan.\u201d For example, they are not yet serving lunch. On the plus side, \u201cOur landlord has been very gracious\u201d and, so far, \u201cwe are very lucky,\u201d he said. <!--more--><br \/>\nSaluti (the \u201ci\u201d is not pronounced and the name means \u201ccheers\u201d in Italian) serves dinner with indoor and outdoor seating and a full bar. All the pasta is cooked to order and they bake their own bread.<br \/>\nSome house specialties, according to Hartwyk, are a braised short-rib ragout with papardeli, a fresh mozzarella pan fry, and eggplant rigatoni. The menu is mainly Italian. Hartwyk, who is co-owner and co-chef, is Italian. He claims kinship with Michael LoPorto, the well-known chef and owner of the Troy restaurant bearing his name. Hartwyk also worked for LoPorto when he operated Sign of the Tree at the Empire State Plaza.<br \/>\nHartwyk\u2019s partner, Yerbol Kenzhebekov, is from Kazakstan. He first came to work for Hartwyk 10 years ago, at a different restaurant, as a J-1 student. (The J-1 visa allowed foreign college students to work temporarily at seasonal jobs in the U.S., many of them at restaurants).<br \/>\nHe returned to Kazakstan and, some years later, won the green card lottery and returned to the U.S. with his wife and daughter, as permanent residents. The two are equal partners, according to Hartwyk, and share all the duties involved in running Saluti. The men are mostly in the kitchen. Their wives rule the dining room.<br \/>\nThe new restaurant next door to Biscotti Brothers Cafe, a breakfast and lunch restaurant owned by Hartwyk since 2017. Before that he operated a pizzeria in Manchester, N.H.<br \/>\nSaluti will be open year-round. Their hours are 3-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 3-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.<br \/>\nPeople can order online or make a reservation at salutilakegeorge.com.
