Salvi's Deli in Manchester

First time I came in October I was really disappointed with the service but decided to give it another try because the food is amazing. The change is incredible, the staff are so attentive and I enjoyed my dining experience. Note: they did add a 10% service charge.

The girl who serves and takes the orders need better speak in English.... I have asked 4 times for a water in the end up our experience I finally got it. I also asked a pizza for a starter with no artichokes she couldn't understand me and came twice checking what I don't want on pizza and she keep asking if I don't want mushrooms ( mushrooms is my favourite thing eat). When finally after 20 min she got it that I don't want artichokes....My partner and I ordered pizza for a starter to share and pasta for a main. I have explained to the waitress that we will have a pizza to share and pasta after we finish ... when pizza came the waitress said that pasta is on the way I was like on my God! I explained again how we want our meal sk she managed to sort it out with the chef...How CAN I EAT PIZZA AND PASTA AT THE SAME TIME Oh MY GOSH. ALL THE CERVICE WAS something that I never existence but the food was fantastic buy as I said service was tragic!

One of Manchester's hidden gems amazing food. Such a lovely family, So friendly and welcoming

We had the most perfect Christmas here, food was out of this world, and the staff were so lovely to us! Definitely saved on the Christmas Day washing up! Can't wait to go back!

Amazing food and service. We had the calamari e zucchini, bread and olive oil, pasta mare, and a side of friarelli - all dishes were generous portion sizes and delicious.

Used to love Salvi's on John Dalton Street, so was super sad when it closed over the pandemic. Didn't have a chance to visit its original restaurant until now!The restaurant at the Corn Exchange is tucked away downstairs while a deli/shop with lots of Italian goodies sits upstairs.The staff are friendly and the food was delicious! Proper good Italian comfort food. Would highly recommend if you want authentic Italian cuisine!

My partner and I dined here last night food was incredible and staff were friendly and welcoming will be returning on our next visit to Manchester

Best Italian sauce I’ve had. Damn is the food good here.

Stood waiting to be seated for an age whilst the man behind the bar and the 2 waitresses deliberately ignored us. Once we were finally seated the Rest of the visit was ok. Will never return due to the first 5 minutes where we were abandoned by the 3 staff members.

Dinner with friends, catching up after a long time. Needed a place with great food options and lovely atmosphere to spend the time. One of our friends mentioned this place and made reservations. We reached the place. Our table was ready and we were seated. We were made to order our drinks and starters. I personally don't drink but my friends ordered the house wine, one red and one white. They mentioned it was too good. We ordered several starters the best ones are the calamari and the mozzarella cheese. I asked recommendations for the main from the waiter and he suggested me the Pasta Al Mare which is the best seafood pasta. All the food was incredible. But service was a big let down. We had to ask several times to get water on the table. The food takes a long time to be served, but that could be forgiven. My friend's pasta was undercooked (I'm willing to forgive it assuming it doesn't happen often). But the highlight of the entire dinner was the desserts. The tiramisu stole my heart. Would come back again to try more on the menu
