I went to Salvi's to try their new 15 year anniversary menu - it was amazing
Yesterday, I went down to down to the famous Salvi’s located in The Corn Exchange to celebrate their 15th birthday and get a taste of some of their brilliant Italian food!
I’ve never been to Salvi’s before, but I would absolutely love to re-visit! Everything about this independent restaurant is top notch, from the beautiful floral exterior to the warm and helpful staff.
Salvi’s have two restaurants with one in Deansgate as well as its first location in The Corn Exchange. They have been serving 15 years worth of fresh food and Italian authenticity, which is celebrated in their brand-new menu.
The menu has been perfectly curated and starts with their Trio of Mozzarella, a nod to where it all began with owner Maurizio bringing fresh mozzarella over from Naples, and Salvi’s growing from a tiny deli into a Manchester institution. Their Corn Exchange site is still often called “the Mozzarella Bar,” and so this was included as an ode to their very first menu.
The Mozzarella was fresh, creamy and delicious!
Next I tried the Biscotti di Pane which are slices of rustic Italian bread, transformed into golden, crunchy bites that are perfect for the mountain of cheese and vegetables that sits on top. Despite the vegetables and cheese being steeped high, the meal was actually incredibly light and the addition of the mozzarella brought the food together perfectly.
Lastly, I tried the Rum Baba which is a true Neapolitan staple- loved for its boozy taste and delicious sponge. This was truly to die for! The custardy cream mixed perfectly with the taste of the rum and cherries. This was my first time trying a Rum Baba and I will certainly be coming back for more.
This special menu is available for the rest of June, so come down and celebrate 15 years of amazing food at Salvi’s.
Additionally, Salvi’s will be bringing you Festa Italiana very soon. It is their 8th year running the UK’s biggest Italian festival and it will be even bigger and better!
