About us
Founded in 2026, the salentinos philosophy focuses on authentic food, local ingredients, prepared from scratch
Founded in 2026, Salentinos was created with a simple philosophy: authentic food, local ingredients, and everything prepared in house daily. Our roots are in traditional cooking, where flavour comes from patience, quality produce, and respect for time-honoured techniques rather than shortcuts.
We take inspiration from classic Italian kitchens, but our focus is firmly local. We work closely with trusted suppliers to source the best seasonal ingredients, allowing the food to speak for itself. Every sauce, dough, and preparation is made in-house, because we believe authenticity can’t be replicated—it has to be built, step by step.
Salentinos is about more than just eating well. It’s about creating a place where food feels honest, familiar, and generous, whether you’re joining us for a quick lunch or a long evening at the table. Simple ideas, executed properly, and served with pride.
From The Chef
At Salentinos, my approach is straightforward: start with the best local ingredients, respect them, and let the food do the talking
We cook from scratch because there’s no substitute for proper technique, time, and care. If something doesn’t add flavour or purpose, it doesn’t belong on the plate.
Our menu is built around authenticity, not trends. That means simple combinations, well executed, and consistency in every dish that leaves the kitchen. The goal is food that feels honest and memorable—rooted in tradition, shaped by quality produce, and cooked with intent every single day.
