A genuine Italian restaurant, staffed by Italians and frequented by Italian diners. I could end there but would be underselling the evocative food, friendly staff and homely atmosphere. On a warm summer's evening, if you close your eyes you can imagine that you're actually in Italy rather than...er, Croydon (who'd have guessed!). Salve is a breath of fresh air from the tasteless "Italian" chains and pretentious fine dining of central London. Seriously, watch out for the generous portions, make sure you try the olives and the risottos are to die for (probably quite literally if you eat them too often). The fresh fish specials are always good and sometimes excellent. I spend a lot of time here and, on balance, would list Salve as my all time favorite Italian restaurant.
Just had an amazing meal ... specials board choice of pan fried pork loin in a wild mushroom sauce with slow roasted potatoes and sauteed spinich.... to follow homemade tirimasu .... to die for and all wash down with a couple of glasses of italian beer
Just had dinner (again) � An amazing wee resturant. The food is first class and the staff are brilliant. Anyone coming here I would highly recommend you visit this gem!! 5 stars ���
