- Guide to the menu and facilities.

Casa Salvatore is a friendly family run restaurant and take-away specialising in home made Italian dishes and cooking.

Set on one floor, at ground level and with disabled access, the restaurant is just around the corner from the main shopping street and near several car parks. The River Ythan is a short walk away - worth visitng to walk off the meals - the portions are huge and the meals tasty - we always return empty plates!

The lowered beamed ceiling and open beams along the walls gives an intimate feel to this charming restaurant.

Service is always attentive and meals and drinks, though freshly prepared, always arrive quickly. The owners often mingle with the patrons, enjoying a friendly chat. You can even buy a CD of the owner, Salvatore Vaccarino, singing traditional Italian songs. He also gives concerts locally for local charities.

There is a full lunch menu, though I'd recommend the fixed lunch special which gives you a generous helping of a pasta dish and two large slices of pizza.

In the evenings you can order from the full menu, though I'd recommend ordering from the year menu which gives you 4 courses for under £13. OAP's can get this for under £8. This is available from 1800 - 2200, Monday to Friday. Starters include mussels in a white wine and cream sauce or chicken soup with chicken pieces, whipped egg and pasta. Main courses include linguini with prawns in a lemon, garlic and wine sauce, penne salsiccia piccante or lamb casserole with a medley of mediterranean vegetables and roast potatoes. Puddings include homemade lemon flan or meringue nest with ice cream and fruits of the forest. Coffee and mints follow.

On a Sunday evening there is a 4 course special menu for under £10. Starters include fresh mushroom cups filled with chicken and spinach mix which is topped with crushed tomatoes and mozzarella cheese or homemade minestrone soup. Main courses include breaded pork milanese topped with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce served with spaghetti or salmon in a lemon butter sauce served with vegetables and potatoes. Desserts include Italian fruit cake with chocolate sauce and ice cream or panettone. Coffee and mints are included. Children can order a pizza margherita and vanilla ice cream for £5.

We also run the www.findextrawork.co.uk website where there is information about earning more money from a range of part time and full time jobs which can be done at home or out and about. Visit for more information.

There is a separate menu with a wide range of Italian coffee, liqueurs and coffee liqueurs.

Throughout lunch and dinner there are many snacks to accompany your meals. I'd particularly recommend the mixed olives - fresh, succulent and tasty. There's a range of breads and garlic breads, french fries, etc.

There is an adjoining pizza, pasta and Italian food take-away next door which is run by the same owners and is open at the same times. Specials include a free wine bottle with selected pizzas, free garlic bread with selected pasta dishes and free chocolate fudge cake with selected main courses. In addition here are lunch specials such as fixed prices for set meals such as a pizza or pasta dish with soup or panini hot sandwich.

The Casa Salvatore Restaurant offers an outside catering service called Liaison Catering which caters for buffets, banquets etc.
