Salvana's Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Salvana's Restaurant, you immediately sense the gentle hum of a warm, convivial space where friends and families gather to unwind and share moments over hearty Italian fare. Nestled on Cavendish Street, this beloved local spot exudes an inviting charm — neither too formal nor rushed — that draws you into a pleasantly lively but unpretentious atmosphere.
The pace here feels just right: welcoming chatter fills the air without ever overwhelming, while attentive staff move smoothly between tables, offering thoughtful recommendations that feel genuinely personal. It’s the kind of place where the focus lies on encouraging relaxed conversation and quietly enjoying the company around you, while the kitchen works steadily to bring comforting, authentic plates to the table.
Salvana’s menu reflects a sincere passion for Italian classics crafted with care and a touch of coastal flair. Whether it’s the rich, creamy embrace of a seafood carbonara or the crisp, fragrant kick of salt and pepper squid served with aioli, each dish carries the kind of heartiness that invites you to linger a little longer. Sides of cheesy garlic bread or stilton wedges further enhance the sense of indulgence without fuss. And for those finishing on a sweeter note, traditional desserts like sticky toffee pudding or banoffee pie cap the experience with an ease that feels like a comforting sign-off to the evening.
The character of Salvana's shines through in the way the team welcomes every guest — their warmth and attentiveness creating an environment that feels more like visiting a trusted friend than stepping into a restaurant. In this, it’s clear why regular patrons regard it as a hidden gem: a place where authenticity is tasted in every bite and felt in every smile.

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.

What a wonderful gem of a place! The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm.and very welcoming. We were seated by the manager and given our menus. Becky came over to take a drinks order. We asked questions about the food and her product knowledge was excellent. She gave us personal recommendations too! Food was excellent and authentic. What a wonderful experience, thank you to all the team ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went on a Monday night and it was fairly busy which created a nice atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions. The food was both nice and reasonable price and had good choice in wine.

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.

Hi! After years abroad, I met my mum and sister for a meal – and it was absolute perfection, starting with Lillia (hope I’ve spelt her name right). She was incredibly hospitable: made us feel welcome from the off, even opened the door for my mum at the end. I offered her a tip, but she honestly put it in the jar to share with the team – that says it all. The food was impeccable, the staff were all incredible too: friendly, laughing together, but totally professional. By far the best experience I’ve had since moving back. Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved visiting here today, the food, the service, the atmosphere were excellent. I was a little apprehensive at first when I saw the prices of meals, what we were actually going to get. I needn't have worried. Best meal we've had in a long time, excellent pork, excellent carbonara.
