Restaurateur Russell J. Salvatore has become synonymous with everything for a greater and progressive Buffalo. He is one of Buffalo’s greatest community benefactors, generously gifting millions to Buffalo and western NY projects.
Born in 1933 to Italian immigrants and the youngest of three children, Salvatore lived to build a great restaurant and tradition, Mr. Steak, in Buffalo and WNY, becoming a multi-millionaire in the process and most importantly to him, a beloved philanthropist. What a remarkable life: Salvatore continues to live the American Dream at the young age of 89.
