Salviâs Deli brings some dolce vita in Neil Sowerbys life
MOZZARELLA Bar is an odd one. The Obika chain kicked off the concept in the Noughties, spreading its single-minded focus on this freshest of cheeses from Rome across the globe.
Salviâs claims to be one, importing Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP, the softer buffalo milk variety, from a family farm near Milan, but it is more of an all-rounder, serving as a coffee halt and dishing up pasta meals to take away alongside a range of good quality Italian staples including some attractive antipasti and fresh bread.
Itâs a very welcome addition to the Triangle (you enter from Exchange Square, rather than from the tumbleweed-strewn commercial interior) and a good place to pick up quick supper ingredients if you are exiting the city via Victoria.
Or you could miss a train or two by indulging in a prosecco nightcap from a short but distinctive wine list. Salvis has an 11pm licence.
Salvis, Exchange Square Unit 22B, Manchester M4 3TR (075 63375135).
