Pasta, Parkside and a Plate of Italy: Salvo by Pasta Fresca Lands at PLQ
Craving homemade pasta and a plate of true Italian comfort food? Salvo by Pasta Fresca brings over three decades of Italian dining heritage to PLQ3, right next to the green space of PLQ Parkside, with a casual, family-friendly menu of fresh pasta, hand-stretched pizza, and alfresco dining.
Authentic Italian Comfort Food Arrives at PLQ
Salvo by Pasta Fresca is the casual dining concept from Carecci Salvatore, founder of the well-loved Pasta Fresca restaurant chain established in 1988. Where Pasta Fresca serves a more traditional sit-down experience, Salvo was created for those who want the same authentic Italian ingredients and cooking in a faster, more relaxed setting.
The PLQ outlet sits on the ground floor of PLQ3, beside the green space of PLQ Parkside, and belongs to a small family of Italian concepts that also includes Carecci & Figli, a fresh pasta and curated Italian F&B supplier. That shared heritage shows up on the plate, with Salvo prioritising genuine Italian ingredients over shortcuts, and its founders often say it is not just the cooking technique that makes a dish taste truly Italian, but the quality of what goes into it.
That philosophy has made Salvo a popular choice for diners who want an approachable, everyday version of Italian dining, rather than a special-occasion splurge, while still being fussy about where the ingredients come from.
What’s on the Menu at Salvo by Pasta Fresca
The menu spans antipasto and bar bites, salads, fresh pastas, hand-stretched pizzas, and desserts, backed by an extensive list of Italian wines and liquors. Everything is designed to be easy to share, making it simple for a family or group of friends to order a wide spread rather than committing to a single dish each.
The kid-friendly setting is a deliberate part of the concept, with a menu that balances adult favourites with options younger diners will enjoy, so the whole table can eat together without compromise. Diners with specific dietary needs can also check the vegetarian-friendly guide before deciding what to order.
Pro Tip: The Italian Set Lunch is dine-in only and cannot be combined with other discounts or privileges, so it is worth checking the weekly main course lineup on the official lunch set page before you head down.
Save With the $18.90 Italian Set Lunch
Available Monday to Sunday from 11:30am to 3:00pm, Salvo’s Italian Set Lunch is priced at $18.90 per person and includes a choice of main course (fresh pasta or a 12-inch hand-stretched pizza), a dessert, and a drink. The main course selection changes weekly, so regulars can expect a different pasta or pizza pairing each visit, alongside a choice of gelato and soft drinks or Italian coffee to finish.
Alfresco Dining by PLQ Parkside
Salvo’s two alfresco areas let diners enjoy bar bites, beer, and wine in a semi-outdoor setting overlooking PLQ Parkside’s greenery, while the indoor dining space sits next to an open kitchen for a homely, convivial atmosphere. The restaurant is also pet-friendly, making it an easy choice for diners who want to bring their four-legged companions along.
Getting to Salvo by Pasta Fresca at PLQ
The restaurant is located at PLQ3, within walking distance of the dual-line Paya Lebar MRT Interchange (EW8/CC9), and sits beside the PLQ Parkside green space rather than inside the main mall block. Drivers can park at PLQ1/2, with carpark entrances along Paya Lebar Link via Eunos Road 5, while nearby bus stops along Sims Avenue, Paya Lebar Road, and Tanjong Katong Road are served by more than a dozen bus services.
