A hint of Italian cuisine. This is a nice and informal place, where to taste some Italian special dishes.
If you go for "Parmigiana di Melanzane" it's better to take a portion as a main. It is worth every bite. Then, you can't skip a "Sicilian Cannolo" as a desert. I must also thank the waiter, Andrea.

When it comes to Authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than Salvi's NQ. I came across this cozy nice NQ branch on my Birthday, looking for a place that was open late evening, and instantly I got attached to that place.
Starting off with Customer Service, Andrea was absolutely fantastic looking after us and our orders, super attentive to our requests and menu itemizations, taking care of the numerous customers with great attention, in addition to being super polite, very professional, respective, and accommodating; 10/10.
Food is super delicious, freshly made from scratch, great portions, and very reasonable prices. Dessert wise is mostly freshly made, very delicious and light (if not careful you can have 3 or 4 cheesecakes in a row :)); 10/10.
With small nice outdoor seating area for those hot summer evenings, and nicely setup indoor area, this is the number 1 place to go for family gatherings, date nights, and friends' events.
P.S. Attached are photos of main dish (Risotto with Prawns and additional Sea Food) and dessert of Pistachio Cheese Cake.
We had risotto and spaghetti. Both plates were oversalted. Other than that everything we had was very good. Good selection of wine. Staff is very friendly. Warm atmosphere. A little expensive (bruschetta, risotto, spaghetti vongola, wine bottle, espresso, limoncello - 90 pounds).

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 :)
Excellent place to relax and eat. Fantastic food lovely staff. Well recommended!!
Delicious, authentic - Italian food. Always a go to for some good Italian fix. Could do with more veg options/customisations.
Honestly I could not have been more happy with my experience at Salvis. The service was outstanding, with the waiting staff being so attentive and friendly- big shout out to Francesco who was one of the nicest waiter I have ever ever had. The food was also outstanding especially the pasta. Prices were fairly reasonable as well, given the excellent quality. I can not recommend this restaurant enough.
The food was delicious. We shared our starters (fried dough balls and arancini) and mains (pizza and pasta) and enjoyed everything. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. I'd definitely return and try some more dishes. I'd recommend booking in advance as I'm sure it's popular (though we visited Sunday evening and it was quite quiet)
Yesterday was my first time at the Salvi’s and I will definitely visit this restaurant again. Really nice food and the menu provides enough choice. Service was prompt and very professional. All staff very polite and well dressed. Highly recommended!
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.
Delicious meal with friends, really can’t fault it at all and the staff were brilliant. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant too.
The fried dough balls and arancini were spot on.
Octopus pasta and penne with pistachio pesto were both incredible.
Cocktails made perfectly, lovely negroni.
Can’t wait to go back!
First class! I booked here for my 50th birthday and had a great time. The manager had kindly decorated the tables so that it felt like a party. Even though our tables had to be socially distant they still made or feel special.
The food was good excellent. They had made platters of mixed starters for each table that were huge portions and delicious.
Everyone was really happy with their main courses. The calzone is enormous! The octopus pasta superb!
I can’t thank them enough for the service, welcome and food. I think I’ll be a regular in future!
Close to tram and bus station
Authentic Italian food cooked and served by native Italians. Warm friendly atmosphere
Delicious, generous portions.
The fritto misto was great! My picture doesn’t do it justice.
Pasta vongole served with large pasta tubes, would have been nicer with spaghetti, and would probably be done if asked when ordering.
A little expensive considering the additional 10% service charge added to the bill ( as reflective of in some places in Italy)
However, in saying that, with the 10% + extra 10% tip as the staff were very friendly and attentive, offering me a window seat at first as I was alone with suitcases and it was pretty full, but moving me before I sat down to a table, they were polite, quick to bring menus and food, yes didn’t pester me leaving me to enjoy and appreciate the good food
All in all a great meal and I would definitely eat there again.

By far the most phenomenal restaurant in Manchester's Northern Quarter!
Excellent staff, a magical atmosphere, and most importantly, miraculously delicious & state of the art food that will exceed your expectations.
Acknowledging the well-renowned, and celebrated tradition Maurizio Salvi has established over the past two decades in this city, this undoubtedly marks his magnum opus.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves pizza, pasta, and Italian food, more broadly.
Rest assured, this place will rock your world!

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!
