"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.”
Salvatore began his career at his grandfather’s restaurant and has 11 years experience in the food industry, including Michelin Star restaurants such as Locanda Locatelli’s in London and La Foresteria in Sicily.
Salvatore’s Bar and Street Kitchen promises an “ambient space” for guests to enjoy an array of drinks such as Yorkshire pales, cocktails and wines.

Paying homage to Salvo’s, there will be a small range of Italian street food – including crispy carbonara, arancini balls and other dishes such as Korean fried chicken.
More than £75,000 has been invested into the restaurant and bar.
Salvatore added: “I’m excited to be bringing a modern bar and street kitchen to the independent bar scene.
“We look forward to welcoming guests to the bar to enjoy our range of drinks and delicious street food.”
The bar is open from 4pm to 11pm on Wednesdays to Fridays, and 1pm to 11pm on the weekend.
