Salvino

Hamgasm. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamgasm. *shudder* So delicious.
This place has amazing ham. And the guys that work there are really helpful and give me samples. Sooo basically I think they’re into me, you should check it out and see if they’re into you too.
Also have beers/​wines/​liquors of wonderful Italia, I bought Strega. And goat cheese. Which resulted in a ham/​ciabatta/​cheesy delight for the evening. An hour later, I was out of ham.

I love, love loooove Salvinos
There are just sooo many yummy things to eat here! Come here to stock up on good mediterranean ingredients.
Some of the goodness:
— All the pastas… seriously, they have shapes I’ve never seen before… we try different types each time we visit.
— Meeeeat The meat counter is fantastic for cold, cured meats or salami-​type meaty-​deliciousness. Pro-​tip: We normally take it out of the fridge for a while before we eat it, that way, the flavour seems to be even better.
— They sell so many gorgeous cheeses! The mozzarella is fantastic, and they have a good range of Italian cheeses as well as Spanish yumminess like manchego.
— The pick and mix olives are also really good.
— The eggs are so much better than free-​range eggs from waitrose or other local shops. The yolks are golden yellow, and they taste gorgeous.
— Two bottles of wine for £6…or Prosecco for £7?! Not a bad way to stock up for the new year.
— At the moment they have loads of panetone high up on shelves (with signs saying don’t jump to reach them)
Once I came in when they had a bloke with a guitar singing beautifully to all the happy coffee –drinking customers.
It’s just a brilliant shop. We sometimes end up spending more than we planned here, as there are so many lovely things available.

This place is really fun to pop by for lunch. You simply grab the bread of your choosing, and go up to the deli… The rest is up to you!
Parma ham, seafood salad, and blushed tomatoes on a sandwich? Whatevs!
It’s really fun to go in and make whatever you want eat. If you’re feeling a bit breadshy, then just grab some olives and cheese to go.
My minor gripe is that is can be a bit pricey for ?? reasons; Adding a few slices of parma ham to your sandwich and raise the cost a whole pound, which is a bit odd considering the takeaway aspect of Salvino.
This place also is good if you want some italian staples.pesto.pasta.italian bouillon cubes.
lov’init. I come here a few times a week.
btw the artichokes are awesssommmmeee (but again. costly!)

The home made sausages are amazing on the BBQ. Pricey but worth every penny YUM !

I used to come here almost everyday when my (Italian) boyfriend lived 3 minutes walking. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The bread is really fresh (can’t go wrong with ciabatta) and they sell amazing granraviolo (and cheaper than
). They also sell amazing free range eggs, and just from the color of the yolk when you crack them open, you know you’re in for a treat. They also stock great cheeses (Mmmm taleggio and robiola) that are much better quality and more flavourful than what you find at supermarkets. My boyfriend was always excited when I’d come home with a bag full of groceries from Salvino.

A great Italian deli. Apart from the usual pasta, wines, olive oils and other ingredients the well stocked deli counter is a great place to get a freshly made up ciabbata sandwich with whatever choice of fillings that catch your eye. Marinated anchovies and sunblush tomato’s are a winner for a start.
