The new restaurant has been open less than a week.
Just four doors down from Salvo's, one of Headingley's oldest running restaurants, Salvatore's Bar and Street Kitchen is the new bar and kitchen venture from the family business.
Now in the third-generation of the renowned family business, Salvatore’s will be run by Salvatore Dammone, grandson of the late Salvo, the founder of the well-established and popular family-run Italian restaurant – Salvo’s.

Bringing favourite Italian treats, locals can feast their senses on the likes of arancini balls and crispy carbonara, with craft beers and IPA from North Brewing Co.
Investing £75,000 into the development of the new restaurant, Salvatore is bringing 11 years of experience to the table, with Michelin star restaurants such as Locanda Locatelli’s in London, and La Foresteria in Sicily under his belt.
Salvatore then went on to work at Stoneley Woods Manor Shooting Lodge as a private chef and continued his role as a private cook for racing drivers and their teams whilst travelling Europe.
Chef Patron, Salvatore Dammone is excited to share the family name and renowned cooking skills with Headingley: “Being part of the Dammone family is an honour, and I have been surrounded by a passion of cooking from such a young age.

"Salvatore’s is something we have wanted to do for a long time, and we feel like now is the perfect time to bring something different to Headingley. It’s such a vibrant area, and I’m excited to be bringing a modern bar and street kitchen to the independent bar scene in Headingley with this new venue.
"We look forward to welcoming guests to the bar to enjoy our range of drinks and delicious street food.”
Salvatore's Bar and Kitchen opened on Friday 26 August 2022 on Otley Road in Headingley, four doors down from the original Salvos restaurant where Salvatore's late grandfather opened in the leafy suburb over 20 years ago.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
