Why you should visit Salvo Bakehouse Amsterdam right away

The name Salvo Bakehouse comes from its owner, Salvatore Lioniello, who opened the business earlier this year. He had already made a name for himself at the weekly market in the courtyard of the Hermitage Museum (now the Heart Museum). His Italian cakes proved so popular that Salvatore decided to continue experimenting with classics from his homeland. And so it happened: since opening, the owner has breathed new life into countless forgotten Italian recipes—from sweet to savory and everything in between.

Menu Salvo Bakehouse Amsterdam

One thing's clear when visiting Salvo: you have to love cream. The most popular dishes remain the maritozzo (a sweet roll with a choice of cream) and the Venetian brioche, with custard. Keep in mind the grab-and-go principle at Salvo: seating is available, but space is limited. And that's another thing the Italians excel at: grabbing a quick bite (or espresso at the bar) or taking your meal with you to go; street food is incredibly popular in the land of the Pope.

Curious about their latest creations? Keep Salvo's Instagram where the staff lovingly presents the latest additions. They are open until 16.00 p.m. from Wednesday to Sunday.
