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.”

Didsbury favourite Rustik has confirmed its will sadly be closing this month
Danny Jones
West Didsbury favourite Rustik has sadly announced it will be closing for food after a decade at the end of this month.
The beloved Burton cafe and bar has been a staple of the tight-knit foodie neighbourhood since 2015, but now the independent Irish eatery has confirmed that the business will be shutting down permanently in less than a fortnight.
Confirmed on Wednesday afternoon, 17 September, the casual Manc restaurant and hangout informed their loyal followers of the unfortunate news.
Unsurprisingly, their social media has been awash with condolences, collective sadness and support for the local institution.
Posting across all of their accounts, Rustik wrote: “After an unforgettable 10 years on Burton Road, the time has come to close our doors. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come — never in a million years did we imagine Rustik would grow into what it became.
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single one of you who walked through our doors and supported us along the way. We poured everything we had — our time, our energy, our lives into making Rustik a space for everyone. And what a ride it’s been.
“From the chaotic, beautiful brunch shifts to late nights dancing on tables to ‘Wagon Wheel’, pushing through the challenges of COVID and helping our community with meals during hard times— we’ve done it all, together.
“To our amazing staff, past and present: thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and the love you brought every single day. You helped build something truly special, and we’ll never be able to thank you enough.
“To the incredible musicians who filled our space with life — keep doing what you do. The noise complaints? 100% worth the unforgettable nights.”
The team go on to detail that the official closing date is Tuesday, 30 September, reiterating that it is “business running as usual until then” and urging fans to “come down, grab your last Rustik fix, and raise a glass with us one final time.”
Signing off with an emotional farewell, they add: “Lastly, a message close to our hearts: please support your local cafes, bars, and independents. Hospitality is tough right now, and they need your support more than ever.
“Thank you for the most incredible decade of our lives. It’s over and out from us.”
It goes without saying that we’re gutted to see Rustik go and know how much it meant not only to the Burton Road community, but also to the Didsbury community, Chorlton and many other Greater Manchester natives.

A brand-new Korean fried chicken restaurant and cocktail bar is set to open on Canal Street this week.
CLUK is promising some big deals and amazing giveaways to celebrate its launch in Manchester, including free food and prize draws.
The newcomer in the heart of the city will specialise in Korean-style crispy fried chicken, but also warming ramen bowls, and salt & pepper classics.
Signature dishes will include Korean cheese-powder fried chicken, and Cheese Volcano Chicken.
CLUK will also serve dishes like kimchi cheese loaded fries, salt & pepper chicken, and huge sharing platters.
You can customise your Korean fried chicken order by size, choosing between wings and boneless and picking a flavour out of honey garlic, sweet and spicy, honey mustard, and honey and sour.
They promise it’ll all be ‘saucy, crunchy, and seriously addictive’.
That’s all washed down with ice-cold beers and creative cocktails, like martinis, spritzes and sours.
