Pasta, pollo and pesci entrées are accompanied by freshly-baked garlic breadsticks. Sal's favorite entrées are Cacciuco (ca-chew-co), a shrimp-clam-bay scallop combination in a fresh cream sauce with scallions, garlic, shallots, lemon and wine over linguini; Pacific Salmon Basilico, baked with lemon and sweet basil and served with lemon zest sauce over fettuccine or capellini; Pollo al Limone, a tender chicken breast sautéed with lemon, capers, artichoke hearts and herbs and served over capellini; and a platter of lasagna, scampi and chicken parmigiana called Salvatore's Tour of Sicily.

A selection of thin-crusted pizzas can be ordered that serve one to two persons: The Quattro with four cheeses, BBQ Chicken with romas, onions and four cheeses, Canadian Bacon and Pineapple, and a Vegetarian pizza with artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and black olives.

Like French toast? Salvatore's offers this breakfast with a twist: Two pieces of thick French bread are coated with almonds and crystallized brown sugar. Served with two eggs, any style, and two pieces of bacon or link sausage, it's a sweetheart deal at $3.95.

Menu changes occur monthly as they constantly update their recipes for entrées, appetizers and desserts.

The casual décor is coupled with contemporary design, with Old-World Italian reproduction lighting and fixtures, and colored with greens, yellows, and burgundies. A large, colorful mural dominating one wall was painted by Terry's wife, Debbie Bichsel.

Adjacent to Salvatore's Café is Sal's Pub, with a wide selection of Italian and domestic wines, draft and bottled beers, and cocktails. Despite its pub-like atmosphere, Sal's is currently only non-smoking lounge on Oregon coast, a fact that doesn't seem to have diminished in least its popularity.

Activities - Our deluxe one-bedroom suite was spacious, bright, and spotless. The bedroom was furnished with a comfortable king-sized bed, sturdy end tables, a double dresser, plenty of closet space, and French doors that opened out to garden below. The bathroom was larger than my last office and equipped with liquid soaps, shampoos and conditioners provided in dispensers on wall.

The fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and living room were decorated in soothing peach, green and cream tones. The hotel's namesake - bougainvillea - bloomed profusely each day, and from balcony were views of sea, pools, gardens and waterfalls.

My husband and I are not big fans of air conditioning, so we opted for open doors. Warm wind circulated fragrant night air; sound of surf washing against shore, mingling with gentle "tweet" of tiny tree frogs sent us into a deep and restful sleep each night.
