I've had a love affair with Saltimbocca ever since the first time I had it when I was in my twenties. So, my first time having this was pre-internet. Not all restaurants deliver the same dish so be prepared for disappointment. Yes I have judged restaurants, sometimes harshly, by the Saltimbocca.
I would scour recipe books at B&N or or Border's Books, this is pre-amazon, for recipes for Saltimbocca. The results from the books and eventually from Google have been horrifying.
I suspect that the real true authentic Saltimbocca is not the one that I love, but the one that I love is the most delicious.
We recently visited Ralph's in Philadelphia.
When I tasted their's, it brought back memories of the first time I ever had it. Oh, Ralph's, I can't say enough good things about that place.
So, this is my take on what I tasted at Ralph's, and I'm very happy with it.

Marsala Wine Sauce Recipe - https://www.romeosjulienne.com/post/marsala-wine-sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F
Heat 1 TBS of olive oil in a sauté pan and add the garlic and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.
Add the spinach and sauté until it is wilted, then set aside a cool.
Season the cutlets with salt and pepper
Dredge the cutlets in flour
Sauté the cutlets in olive oil, about 1 minute per side. Don’t cook them all the way through because they will finish cooking in the oven.
Place the partially cooked cutlets on a baking sheet.
When all of the cutlets have been partially cooked, start assembling the saltimbocca.
Start by layering a slice of prosciutto on each cutlet
Add a mound of spinach to each cutlet
Spoon some Marsala wine sauce and mushrooms onto each cutlet
Cover each cutlet with mozzarella
Bake the cutlets at 350 ° F for about 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
Serve the saltimbocca with a little more Marsala wine sauce and some pasta on the side.
Kiss yourself for making deliciousness.
