The home of traditional, authentic, Italian cuisine, this is a restaurant and deli named after owner Maurizio’s father and inspired by his mother’s kitchen back home in Naples. Salvi’s is a family-run establishment and their passion for the produce of their home region of Campania in Italy is behind everything that they do. Salvi’s brings the spirit of Naples to Manchester, especially during their annual Festa Italiana where they celebrate all things Italian and Mancunian in the heart of the city and right on our doorstep. There’s a reason why Salvi’s is often mentioned as the best Italian Restaurant in Manchester!
