for me, there is only one choice when it comes to italian restaurants in leeds. at salvo's they don't bother about simply generating hype and stick to what certain other establishments forget: delivering hot, flavourful and reasonably-priced food to their customers, complemented by a buzzing atmosphere, excellent service and none of the pretentiousness found elsewhere.

good italian cooking is hard to find - all too often overcooked pasta and pizza's with cheap, flavourless toppings leave you wondering why you didn't just stay at home and make your own. fortunately, that's not the case at this wonderful little eatery at the top end of headingley. it is one of the few places in the area that doesn't cater specifically to students - but that's not to say that eating here is expensive - just slightly more so than it's neighbours.

forget flying pizza, don't bother with bibi's - for style and substance: salvo's hits the spot.
