"a real Italian restaurant, occupied by Italians and visited by Italian diners. I could end there, but would undermine the meaningful food, friendly staff and the domestic atmosphere. on a warm summer evening, when they close their eyes, they can imagine that they 're actually in itals instead of...er, croydon (the 'd guess! . salve is an atem of fresh air from the tasteless Italian chains and pretentious fine restaurants in the center of london. seriously, pay attention to the generous portions, make sure they try to die the olives and the risottos (probably quite literally when they eat them too often. fresh fish specialities are always good and sometimes excellent. I spend a lot of time here and would list salve as my favorite Italian restaurant."
