Salvi's Northern Quarter 60-67A High Street, Manchester M4 1FS

"I took my mom to Salvi's when she visited me in Manchester. We were seated quickly, and our waiter Salvatore was very attentive and helpful, answering all of our questions about the food. We ordered 3 courses, followed by coffee. Every meal was absolutely beautiful, full of flavour and just the right portion sizes. I had insalata caprese followed by the risotto sienna (asparagus and prawns) and a tiramisu to finish. My mom had the arancini ragu, the pasta vongole, and the forest fruit pana cota. Our clams and prawns were cooked perfectly and were very tasty! We finished with 2 coffees, which were made exactly how we requested them. We ate our starter and mains within the first hour of being in the restaurant - very quick service! We spent the second hour relaxing, drinking and enjoying our dessert and coffees. We weren't rushed out of the restaurant at the end either, despite taking our time. We felt so relaxed, and the entire experience was perfect. It cost £110 for 2 people to have 3 courses, followed by coffees, and we also shared a bottle of red wine and an additional diet coke. 100% would recommend and will be returning here in the future. Thank you Salvatore for making the evening go so smoothly :)"

"Wonderful Italian's which we were staying near to. Booked online easily and went in a couple of hours later. Really beautiful food and you could tell the ingredients were of high quality also. We all loved our food and had desserts aswel (cheesecake with pistachio and tiramisu) Would love to visit here again next time we are in Manchester."

"Very nice food, and authentic. However sometimes very authentic can also contain flavours we might not be used to and not always good flavours. Food is fresh and cooked on the premises. The restauran itself is very nice. Staff is OK but nothing to shout out about. Salvi you don't quite make it to the 5 stars in my opinion but we'll deserved the 4 stars."

"If you love authentic Italian cuisine then you must try Salvis. After returning from Italy I have always been on the hunt for great authentic Italian food and Salvis did not disappoint. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was fantastic. Can't recommend enough!"

"Boasting a wood fired oven on site, there’s no excuse not to indulge in a good pizza rather than totter over to the kebab shop/chippie. But I’m selling Salvi’s short. You won’t mistake it for an osteria, but might liken it to a trattoria rather than a ristorante. I like the asymmetrical layout with plenty on light to watch the busy thoroughfare outside. Food wise, they had me at the polpo for the antipasti, a theme which I continued for my primi piatti but foregoing the salade and secondi piatti heading straight to dolce. All due to time constraints mind you… The octopus, tomato, capers and olive disappeared quickly, with any evidence of their passing mopped up with sourdough slices faster than you can say Inspector Montalbano. That’s when I erred. Instead of going in for the pizza, I opted for pasta con polpo e N’duja. While not disappointing, it was a hearty dish, but not on par with the superlative seafood pasta offerings from Sugo. Dessert amazed me. As you’re aware, I have developed an aversion to chocolate desserts but made an exception for the white chocolate mousse and was very pleased with the result. Top marks for flavour, texture and presentation!"
