CASASALVO, an Italian espresso bar and market with an emphasis on fine Italian food offerings at affordable prices is set to open a new location in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood on October 5.
Italian Chef Salvo Lo Castro – who’s cooked for Hollywood celebrities, popes, and politicians through his private dining and catering services – is launching an expanded menu for the Soho location, including Italian breakfast items, sandwiches, salads, and pasta dishes, featuring original recipes and high-quality ingredients.
Salvo opened his first location on Amsterdam and 83rd Street this past spring and will now expand his authentic Italian concept in Soho at 38 Grand Street.
With the newest opening, Salvo aims to further his mission to make Italian food accessible and affordable from espresso to groceries. Customers will have a chance to taste food prepared by Chef Salvo through signature breakfast dishes including omelets, avocado toast, eggs benedict and more. CASASALVO will also be adding high-quality organic pasta with fresh ingredients like basil pesto and seafood and tuna sauce for just $17. In addition, customers can enjoy the café ambiance at small bistro tables indoors and outside.
“At CASASALVO, our mission is to bring the best Italian products to every New York neighborhood, and I am thrilled for more visitors to experience our artisanal offerings and authentic hospitality,” said Salvo Lo Castro, owner of Casa Salvo NYC in a statement. “CASASALVO has become the ultimate all-day destination for New Yorkers to get all their Italian staples from fine breakfast items and morning coffee to savory sandwiches.”
The location will continue to offer a variety of coffee and espresso beverages, all priced at $2.50 per cup. CASASALVO’s espresso bar will feature the classics of espresso and cappuccino, in addition to offering new Italian selections like caffè with pistachio, hazelnut, or truffles, all for $2.50. CASASALVO has also introduced a fall special including an iced pumpkin pie latte.
New Yorkers can grab their specialty items at CASASALVO, where the walls will be lined with shelves of affordable, Italian pantry staples, organic pasta, Italian tomato sauces, burrata and mozzarella, artisanal prosciutto and other meats, Parmigiano-Reggiano mousse, hand-crafted butter and yogurts, and much more. Italian Coca-Cola and other soft drinks, as well as bottled coffee will also be available to grab and go.
With over 28 years of extensive experience related to 5-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and catering, Chef Salvo Lo Castro manages the CASASALVO project with ambition and enthusiasm, supported by a brilliant team. They have made the concept of gourmet catering their own, putting attention and experience into customer service every day.
