Now, a new update has been shared that will please many of its diners and supporters. The team have heralded a ‘new generation’ of Salvi’s and a new chapter for the family with the launch of AM\u00d2, which will open to customers at 12pm on Thursday, 13 August at Deansgate Mews, which sits above Deansgate.<\/p>\n
Billed as ‘smaller, more modern, spontaneous’ take on everything that people already know and love about Salvi\u2019s, the restaurant will see Maurizio\u2019s daughter Sienna Cecco bringing a new generation of the family into the mix.<\/p>\n

AM\u00d2 is Neapolitan slang for \u201cmy love\u201d, and the family say it is used freely, warmly and often with a little attitude. The new Deansgate Mews spot is designed to be somewhere customers can drop by without a booking, and will offer lunch, coffee and plenty of Italian-style spritz.<\/p>\n
There will be fresh pasta cooked daily by chef Valentina, with a \u00a310 lunch deal, but there won’t be a set menu as dishes will change daily. They’ll also be launching 2-1 spritzes too, as well as plenty of familiar favourites, from fresh pasta and Italian deli produce to Caff\u00e8 Crema, gelato, affogato and proper Italian coffee.<\/p>\n
