Top Italian chef Maurizio Cecco has revealed plans to open a third Salvi’s location in Manchester, this time on Deansgate Square, as his successful restaurant brand marks ten years in the city.
Spanning a swanky new restaurant, bar, deli, terrace, and exhibition space, the new site is all set to become a brilliant new hub for Italian foodies.
Located in the luxury new Deansgate Square towers development, it joins successful new openings Atomeca and Deansgate General Stores in what is fast becoming a new must-visit quarter for gourmands.

Serving up a variety of southern Italian cuisine, from gelato to pizza and cicchetti alongside Italian wines, beers, spritz and a deli for takeaway ‘sfizio’, the new restaurant, bar and deli will make an excellent addition to the southern end of Deansgate.
New dishes will draw upon original family recipes created by Maurizio’s mother, Nonna Teresa, as well as from his native Naples. whilst others will nod to Salvi’s two pre-existing Manchester sites in the Corn Exchange and the Northern Quarter.

What’s more, there’ll even be pasta-making classes hosted here with the main man himself, taking place in the new covered and heated outdoor private dining space on the terrace – the first of its kind to be built in Manchester.
Guests will also be able to book the one-of-a-kind outdoor private dining space for their events and parties.

Having first begun life as a deli in the Corn Exchange a decade ago, Salvi’s has come a long way indeed: bringing an authentic slice of southern Italy through its restaurants and annual Italian food festival Festa Italiana.
Speaking on the new opening plans Maurizio Cecco, Managing Director of Salvi’s, said: “Manchester is our home and we’re always looking for new potential sites so this seemed too good to miss! Deansgate Square gives us the opportunity to bring together all the best aspects of Salvi’s, plus we can now roll out some new ideas that we’re really excited about.”

Huge shuttle bus effort laid on to get Manchester United fans to Old Trafford amid tram disruption
Daisy Jackson
Transport for Greater Manchester has announced a shuttle bus scheme to help Manchester United fans get to Old Trafford this week, amid major tram disruption.
Fans won’t be able to use trams to get to the ground as usual, due to huge improvement works which are in place until Monday 2 November.
There’ll be no trams at all on the Altrincham, Trafford Park, and Eccles lines, with Airport and East Didsbury trams only going as far as Firswood.
That means that fans heading to Manchester United’s home game against Bournemouth would have been a little stuck without this newly-announced shuttle bus service.
Frequent dedicated shuttle buses will run running Piccadilly Gardens, Altrincham Interchange and the Trafford Centre, taking fans directly to Old Trafford before the game.
Frequencies range from five to 20 minutes depending on the route and time, with details available online. Return services will be in place after the final whistle.
TfGM staff will be at key stops and interchanges throughout the day to help fans get to the match and provide travel advice.

Ian Davies, TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, said: “There is no good time to disrupt passengers to carry out these works, and this is the first time in over a decade that trams won’t serve Old Trafford on a match day, but these works are essential and will enable us to provide a better service in future. I am very sorry to fans who face disruption.
“We’ve put a range of alternative travel options in place, including dedicated shuttle buses, bolstered Bee Network bus services, rail options and ticket acceptance arrangements will help fans get to and from the game.
“Journey options will be different from usual, so we would encourage supporters to plan ahead, check their route and our website before they travel and leave plenty of time to get to and from the stadium.”
TfGM is advising supporters to leave around an hour earlier to help make sure they arrive in time for kick-off.
