The storefront at 12500 SW Broadway has two names on it right now, and the same team runs both. Salami Mammi, the Italian-American sandwich shop that opened there on July 16, has closed "for the summer." In its place, the people who run it have brought back Don's Favorite Foods, their earlier supper club, for October through December.

So this season, one doorway on SW Broadway serves two very different kinds of evening. One is a set dinner you book and pay for in advance. The other is a sandwich counter you walk into. The deli plans to come back in the middle of the supper club's run, and that puts the room on a schedule worth knowing before you plan a December night downtown.

One team, one room, two formats

Don's came first. In October 2023, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that Burger Stevens owners Don Salamone and Kate Laurents were opening a small, Italian-inspired supper club with a fixed-price, multi-course menu. It went into the former Gloria's Secret Cafe space at 12500 SW Broadway, with Adam Galbraith joining as third partner and front-of-house lead.

This past June, Bridgetown Bites reported that the same three were behind Salami Mammi. The deli would take over the Don's space, and Don's would move somewhere else in Beaverton, location undecided, possibly with an à-la-carte menu. The deli opened in July with parm sandwiches and a little seating.

That plan has since changed. The Don's Favorite Foods website now puts it in the restaurant's own words:

"Don's Favorite Foods is back for the holidays. We're reopening in our original home on SW Broadway for October through December."

In practice, the supper club is back in the room it started in, with its original set-menu format, for a fixed three-month window. The June plan for a new location and an à-la-carte menu is not what's on offer this season.

How the supper club works this season

Booking Don's works nothing like walking into a deli. There is one seating a night, Wednesday through Saturday, and guests arrive between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. Reservations go through OpenTable, and the restaurant's reservation page says you pay in full when you book. Drinks and extras can be added during the meal. A reservation can be transferred, or turned into a gift card, with 48 hours' notice.

Each month brings a new menu, and the price changes with it:

The October menu opens with antipasti and then runs five numbered courses, each with a standard and a vegetarian version. Examples include clams or panzanella, rigatoni, beef braciole or manicotti, a granita, and lemon chiffon pie. If you book this week, you'll get one of the last October dinners: Wednesday the 28th through Saturday the 31st. From the first Wednesday of November, the price goes up $10 for the standard menu and stays at $120 for vegetarian.

The Feast of the Seven Fishes and its vegetable version are on the menu list, but the restaurant hasn't posted a date for them yet. Two more details shape who can book. The reservation page says the small kitchen can't accommodate dietary restrictions or menu changes, and it asks guests with serious allergies to get in touch before booking. For groups, the homepage says Don's hosts private events for up to 20 guests, and gift cards are available.

November 14 is the date to circle

Bridgetown Bites' October 15 update says Salami Mammi looks to reopen Saturday, November 14. Don's says it runs through December. If both dates hold, the deli and the supper club will share 12500 SW Broadway for the second half of the season.

Neither business has said how that will work. Salami Mammi's website still lists Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., on the same page that says it's done serving for the summer. Until the deli posts its reopening hours, treat those as last season's schedule. Those posted hours would also overlap Don's 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. arrival window, so the final schedule will probably look different. The deli's site and Don's Instagram, which the restaurant's homepage points to for updates, are the places to watch.

The downtown dates around the storefront

The storefront's schedule lines up with the rest of downtown's late-fall calendar. Here's how the weeks from now through December 4 fall around SW Broadway:

1. Wednesday, October 28 through Saturday, October 31. The last nights for Don's October menu at $140 standard, $120 vegetarian.
2. Friday, November 6, 6 p.m. The free Curio Artist Reception at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts.
3. Saturday, November 14. Salami Mammi's projected reopening.
4. Saturday, November 21. The Beaverton Farmers Market's last Saturday of the 2026 season, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The market's site lists this year's winter market as February through March and hasn't posted a December schedule.
5. Sunday and Monday, November 22–23, 7:30 p.m. Making Spirits Bright at the Reser.
6. Friday, December 4. Beaverton Winter Lights & Tree Lighting at Beaverton City Park, 4 to 8 p.m., with the lighting ceremony at 7 p.m. The same night, the Reser's calendar lists the free First Friday Art Walk.

Two weeks after the farmers market's last Saturday, its parking lot hosts a different market. The Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce is putting its Winter Market for Winter Lights in the Farmers Market parking lot, listed at 12500 SW 4th St. The market runs 4 to 8 p.m., the vendors sell locally made goods for holiday gifts, and the Chamber expects more than 3,000 visitors. Food carts can rent space too, and vendors have to bring battery-powered lights because there's no electricity on site.

December 4 is a Friday, so it's also a Don's service night. Dinner seats between 6:00 and 7:00, and the tree lights at 7:00 a few blocks away, so you won't be able to do both in full on the same evening. Pick one for the 4th, or book Don's for the Wednesday or Thursday that week instead.

Booking the rest of the season

The supper club runs for three months, and only four nights a week. After the last October nights, November and December make up the rest of the run, with one seating a night, and the Seven Fishes date still hasn't been announced. Prepaid reservations can be transferred with 48 hours' notice, which helps around a busy calendar. If the Wednesday you booked ends up clashing with a Reser show, you can hand the seats to someone else instead of losing them.

The sandwich counter should be back by mid-November if the projected date holds. At that point the two businesses will be sharing the room for the rest of the year, run by the team that started there in 2023.
