Restaurants in Salina, KS

Do you want an itty-bitty bite or an abundant meal for four? Salina, Kansas, offers both, the tiny dish being a slider, which was invented at the Cozy Inn in 1922, and still is all the six-stool diner serves. For eating big, there are few destinations better than Martinelli’s Little Italy, where classic Italian meals are served family-style. Dishes are available as a quarter portion, a half portion, and a full portion. The quarter is a large meal for one. Whole feeds a family.
