Life may be on pause for the next few weeks, but Salvi’s Deli is well and truly #StillServingMCR and is inviting Mancunians to “grab a small slice of Neapolitan life during lockdown”.
Salvi’s Deli – which is housed in the Corn Exchange in the heart of the city centre, and is just one arm of the iconic Manchester brand – is “bursting at the seems” with the very best, hand selected, imported produce from Italy.
Visitors will be greeted by the one and only Roberto – a true Salvi’s legend who has been at the Deli helm since the very beginning – who will talk through the varied and 100%-authentic Italian line-up on offer.
The meat section is fully-stocked with the highest-quality Pancetta, Prosciutto, Guanciale, Porchetta and Bresaola from Parma, and is headlined by the deliciously spicy N’duja from the Calabria region, and the cheese section is led by the exquisitely juicy, creamy and ever-so-slightly slightly sour Mozzarella di Bufala from the Campania region, and backed up by a mouthwatering selection of the finest Scamorza, Pecorino and Parmesan.
The Deli is also packed full of assorted pastas, sauces, homemade pesto, wines, beers, Italian aperitivo drinks, and fresh Cannoli made from authentic goats’ ricotta.

Customers can trust that each and every Deli purchase made is quality assured.
Not only has Salvi’s been awarded the prestigious Ospitalita Italiana Award twice, but the majority of the products on offer are also DOP stamped – which means Denominazione di Origine Protetta (literally “Protected Designation of Origin”) and is a guarantee food has been made in a specific Italian region by local farmers and artisans using traditional methods – to verify authenticity.

Speaking on the adapted takeout service during lockdown, Maurizio Cecco – owner of Salvi’s Manchester – said: “We love our customers, they are just like family to us and right now, we want to give something back.
“When our doors are open, they are really open and we want anyone who is struggling or just needs to see a friendly face to come down to the Deli, have a look around, buy some delicious Italian produce,
“But most of all, walk away with a smile on their face.”

Team behind award-winning cocktail bar Stray to open second Manchester bar
Daisy Jackson
The team behind Manchester’s award-winning cocktail bar Stray have announced a second bar is on the way.
Bar Dos will be an all-new neighbourhood bar, promising to be the ‘tearaway younger sibling’ of Stray.
You can expect everything from pints of Stella to refined cocktails, plus DJs all weekend long.
Set to open very soon, with a September launch pencilled into our diaries already, Bar Dos will be joining a couple of other big names in a new building on Great Ancoats Street.
They’ll count Proloco and Osma as neighbours once all three ventures are up and running this year.
Stray first opened at Mackie Mayor back in 2023, and shot into the UK’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars just over a year later.
Bar Dos will open in Manchester in SeptemberBar Dos is the second site for Stray
There, it occupies a beautiful corner unit with huge windows, and an outside terrace, perfect for sipping on their best-selling cocktails like their tomato vine margarita and their Fanta Limon (a boozy version of everyone’s favourite balcony tipple).
Now ready to launch a second site, the team will soon open Bar Dos, which will be a late-night, music-focused neighbourhood bar.
DJs already announced, along with renowned artists who have curated playlists, include Space Afrika, Chunky, Private Joy, Konnie Kon of Children of Zeus, and Stray residents Rhod Parry and Stu Richards.
Bar Dos will open on Great Ancoats Street this September.
Family behind Salvi’s launch new concept, weeks after iconic restaurant closure
Daisy Jackson
Just weeks after the closure of its iconic, 16-year-old Italian restaurant in the Corn Exchange, the family behind Salvi’s have revealed a brand-new concept.
And this time, the reins are being handed over to the next generation.
Salvi’s founder Maurizio Cecco has helped to shape Amò, but it’s all the brainchild of his daughter, Sienna.
Sienna will run the business out of a unit up on Deansgate Mews, serving fresh pasta dishes, pizza sandwiches, tubs of tiramisu, and two-for-£10 spritzes.
The deli aspect of the original Salvi’s has been carried over to Amò too – you’ll find shelves almost to the ceiling filled with Italian pasta, wine, olive oils, pistachio spreads, and more.
Sienna has grown up in restaurants, with her parents launching Salvi’s when she was just two years old.
She said she wants the space to be a livelier, fresher version of the Italian restaurant that has been so loved by Mancs for so many years.

Amò, which is Neapolitan slang for ‘my love’, will have loads of fresh Italian dishes, including arancini, gnocchi, and hearty pasta plates.
At lunchtimes, guests can order from a £10 lunch menu, with dishes changing daily depending on the best produce the kitchen can get – it could be a pizza sandwich with proscuitto and tomato, a spicy pasta, or a gnocchi bake, always served with your choice of soft drink.
With its position on Deansgate Mews, Amò basks in the sunshine at lunchtimes.
And while it’s definitely a different concept to the original Salvi’s, Amò looks set to carry the family’s Italian food legacy into its next generation.
