Salvi's Bistro - 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 staff were very friendly and helpful. They greeted us quickly and we got seated quickly however we had to ask for menus. Drinks were on the pricy side £9.50 for an Aperol Spritz. The food was of good quality and came well presented. They did ask us if we wanted some water for the table, to my mind I thought this would be free tap water, however they charged us for a large bottle of water. Also there is a 10% service charge at the end of the bill. I didn't particularly agree with this as there were only two of us and they never asked us to put it on the bill.

One of the hidden esteems most amazing eating. such a beautiful family, so friendly and welcoming

This restaurant is arguably one of the most authentic Italian places around. The food is incredibly fresh, delicious, and prepared just like nonna would make it! My only issue is that the ambiance and type of service seem a bit overpriced for what you get. I would recommend it, but I believe there are other places that offer similar quality at better prices.

Absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the staff were both friendly and welcoming. But the food—wow! We shared a cutting plate and some broth and oil for our starter among four of us, and there was plenty left over; it was huge! Everything on the plate was delicious. The main courses were all cooked to perfection and had generous portion sizes. The limoncello shot at the end was a lovely touch. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We'll definitely be back!
