Leeds-based Italian Salvo’s to invest in £250k restaurant makeover

Leeds restaurant Salvo’s is investing in a £250k refurbishment.

The Headingley Italian will close its doors this month (February 21) as it prepares to undergo the biggest makeover in its 41-year history.

Salvo’s said the work will include the installation of new walnut interiors and “intimate” lighting, as well as a new Italian coal-fired pizza oven in the restaurant’s open kitchen.

Salvo’s was opened in 1976 by Salvatore Dammone. Today, the company is run by Salvatore’s sons, John and Gip.

John said: “My father […] had a vision of bringing a piece of his beloved Italy to Leeds.

“Five decades later, we’re proud to be committed to upholding our family’s ethos of serving authentic southern Italian food.”

Gip commented: “In order to create something lasting we know that you must adapt and grow and our investment is testament to our belief in providing the best possible experience for our guests, old and new.

“We’re excited to be firing up our new pizza oven for the first time and welcoming all our friends to the newly refurbished Salvos on March 3.”

Throughout the refurb, the neighbouring Salumeria will be open as a café and delicatessen offering pasta dishes, artisan Italian ingredients and other fresh produce.
