Salve Italian Restaurant

We have been here a few times and have always had excellent, authentic food and service. They have an interesting and varied menu and their food is tasty and fresh. Most recently we booked for a party of 30 and the owner, Enrica, could not have been more helpful. She offered us a tailored menu, accommodating those with special dietary requirements and allergies and everyone was hugely impressed on the night with the service and the quality of the food. It was a wonderful evening and everything was simply excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant and it will be our first choice from now on. Thank you Enrica and the team.

Forget all the "Italian" food chains. This is an authentic Italian restaurant where you can taste real Italian recipes made with fresh high-quality ingredients and love. The atmosphere is intimate, the food is great, the portions always very generous. I ate there every week for months and never left unhappy. Now that I moved, I do miss SalVe.I still looking for a place like that in the Hampshire.

Shate board starter was fab, seafood spaghetti also fab, no mussels but was offered extra of any other seafood, so got extra king prawns, thought it was good that I was advised about the lack of mussels before I ordered. Also had ran out of 2 of the desert s on the menu and it was only early. Nice touch at the end of the meal with a complimentary lemon cello. Lovely waitress and decent price.

This is an Italian restaurant in East Croydon, a small, cosy and intimate place serving up scrumptious Italian food, I had the home made Italian sausage with short pasta which was absolutely delicious. I went there last night and it was rather busy for a weekday and unfortunately the waitress who was the only person who could speak English was overwhelmed with the crowd, she did do very well and worked very hard, I applaud her, the only downside was that I had to wait at least 45mins for my food to arrive but it was well worth it.

I have to say this is a nice little quaint Italian place, the food is great and it's very inexpensive. I did hope they had more vegetarian pizzas but what they did have tasted good. It is a little small inside so coming at peak time could result in waiting for a table. The lunch offer is very cheap (£5.50) and worth every penny. I do feel the service is a tad slow but that doesn't take away from the experience. I recommend this place.
