Staff were very focused on regular patrons. Never asked if meal was OK. Did we want a sweet or coffee. Asked if we get a shot with our bill,as others were getting. We were told these are regulars . Just not good enough.

Dropped by here mid week with no reservation. They were very busy, but managed to get a table after ~ 15mins. (would advise you book in advance). Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Good menu and food was excellent, best lasagne I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this place.

The only Italian restaurant that I fully enjoy, I’ve had lots of Italian food from different restaurants and have always been left feeling disappointed because nothing gets close to salvos recipes, he knows what he’s doing and knows how to make the best food around, nothing can beat it, he makes the best garlic bread, carbonara and pancetta dishes (they are my go to) defo need to go for a meal for my birthday, it’s not a good birthday if I don’t have my fave meal 😂

I have eaten here for over a decade but it has now become more expensive and not the great place it was. I appreciate cost have risen and overheads are now crippling the service and restaurants but my last two visits I've been shocked at the final bill. Sorry salvo it's just not the value for money it was.

Food always great here, service good but atmosphere at peak times is shocking. Loud, noisy overcrowded to get through numbers, rushed when busy to get you fed n out the door for more bookings. It’s good food in groups for after work dinner but would have to pick wisely if you wanted a romantic meal here.

Attentive and helpful in every way you'd imagine; that's all the staff too. They're all willing to step in and provide a great time and service. The food was blitzed out of the kitchen in an extremely efficient fashion that didn't sacrifice any of the quality either. It's just a shame the wine ordered wasn't apparently so nice and the only beer I believe they serve is Bud light. If you're there for the food and quality service, it'll be a great experience. The drinks if you're a draught drinker though are sub-optimal. I'd recommend a nice red. The last time I went here, that was great! For reference I ordered the Bistecca and my partner, the tagliatelle faggatini.

I had the most amazing experience at Salvana's Italian Restaurant! The chicken livers as a starter were absolutely mouthwatering, and the cheesy garlic bread we shared was divine. The seafood tagliatelle with salmon and prawns was beyond delicious – each bite bursting with flavour. I can't stop thinking about going back for those incredible chicken livers again. Definitely a must-visit for any food lover!

2 stars for squeezing me in without a booking. How is this place rammed? My Masala Chicken main was so sweet it was like eating main and dessert in one. I asked what this chicken dish was served with.... I was told vegetables! They used the term loosely..... It consisted of a slice of green pepper, a slice of red pepper and slice of yellow pepper, a slice of courgette and the smallest baked potatoe i have ever seen. Very disappointing. Nothing like other Italian restaurants i have been to, where you get beautiful Italian roasted potatoes, tender stem broccoli and roasted whole carrots. Come on Salvana's..... Your veg is a cop out. I wont be back..... However the service and the wine thankfully made the journey worthwhile.

Lovely restaurant Very attentive servers who are really polite and helpful. I had garlic bread and salt and pepper shrimp with aioli sauce for starters. Wow that sauce is amazeballs. The mains were meatballs with gnocchi. Tbh, it was well cooked but probably not my cup of tea. I felt the prices were decent. Some other guests in there were quite loud though but no fault of the restaurant.

As always in salvos tue food was fine, same menu they had over a decade ago when I first visited. Only problem is the volume inside, its always busy but with the music and general noise levels it's a bit of a put off. If you haven't already give Mario house a try just 200 yards away . Overall it's fine, food and price are consistent with salvos .

Very cramped place if busy. Over priced for what they serve you. I got the smallest dish of undercooked pasta with a disgusting white sauce on it. It was supposed to have mushrooms and chicken in it, but I couldn't find any. Other dishes in my party were average. I paid £13 for my dish....a handful of pasta and a white sauce from asda would have been more tasty. Some of the staff looked as if they couldn't be bothered either. Too full as well, having to ask people behind us to move so I could could get up. Also having to look at the door to the toilet door when eating isn't best either. Not appetising or appropriate really. So never again.
