Sal’s Italian

You'll find yourself on Queen Street in Tideswell, that beautiful stone-built village that feels properly tucked away from the tourist trails. Walk into Sal's and you're immediately in someone's living room—all warm lighting, wooden tables, and the kind of casual Italian charm that comes from actually knowing what you're doing rather than trying to look the part. The food's unfussy and honest: fresh pasta that tastes like it was made this morning (because it probably was), proper risottos, and Italian classics done without pretension. It's the sort of place locals keep going back to because it feels like Sal actually wants you there, not like you're just another covers number for the night.
