The appeal is the price point. I've been here three times and tried different drinks each time none of which I loved. 1) I had the iced pistachio latte. I didn't realize it's a non-coffee drink until I read the menu inside the store. I've heard good things about their pastries but there wasn't much to choose from on an early Saturday afternoon. I had a chocolate donut. The cream inside was really good but overall it tasted stale. I'm wondering if it was in a refrigerator because it wasn't fresh. 2) hot latte for $2.51 it's a perfect size for me because I usually can't finish a "regular" size 3) iced coffee - this was my least favorite drink and after adding oat milk and making it a decaf it cost almost $5. This one left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Employees were great during each visit. Very friendly! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is quite small - to call it an Italian market is generous, as there's just a small case of goods to purchase lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As far as food goes, the croissants were yummy (though small, in my case with the chocolate croissant) and the price is really reasonable. It feels tucked away so there was no line at all when we came read more

My husband saw the cafe being featured on the morning news so have been curious. First time we went, was too late (5 minutes to closing and the place was closed). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only outdoor seating available, most tables under umbrellas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Store is small- food items, and baked goods in a few display cases.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got our picks with tongs. Some were not labeled clearly though so we asked one of the staff behind the counter. She described them, was very helpful and pleasant. I missed one case with the pistachio corneto, so for next time. The bigne (cream puff) had good chocolate filling. The ciambella (donut) with the pearl-like bits we thought was hazelnut but was labeled as coconut on the receipt- didn't taste either flavor, sweet glaze though. The maritozzo is a sweet bun filled with whipped cream and ricotta. I liked this one, wasn't heavy and not so sweet. The cronut was dense, and was just topped with a small dollop of custard and strawberry piece. Our latte and iced coffee prices weren't bad. Went well with the sweet pastries. Maybe need milk, hot chocolate for non-coffee drinkers. read more

Hello everyone, I have added Casasalvo's photo of their menu as people have been inquiring about it. The phone number on yelp site no one answers. Because their baked goods are so good and fresh I recommend you go early in the day they sell out fast. read more

This place is a NYC gem!! Freshly opened on the Upper West Side. The shop itself is tiny and easy to miss but make sure you step inside for big fl Owned by a very italian man who described the hot fresh croissants (made every 30 mins) as "orgasmic" but in italian. The best part is the coffee is $2.50!! And the flavoring tastes so fresh and natural. It feels yummy and homemade. The croissants are also $2.5 and i highly recommend the pistachio flavor. They're baked fresh every 30 mins. The best I've ever had. read more

Casa Salvo is the type of place that makes you want to sit down, slow down. I came in after a run, intending to pick up a coffee and pastry to go, but the inviting tables and umbrellas out front beckoned me to sit down and enjoy them slowly, savor them fresh. This store is so cute. Truffle salts, dried pastas, olive oils, packaged tiramisus, and spreadable pistachio paste are for sale, adorning the walls of the small store, with the coffee counter at the back. The clear pastry cases stacked with cornettos, bomboloni, eclairs are eye catching and colorful, topped with different flavors of pastry cream. They all look delicious. I opted for an iced coffee with almond milk and 2 pistachio cornetto (1 to go so my roommates could try it too!) and they were prepared quickly by the kind gentlemen working the counter. I was surprised, yet delighted, that my iced coffee came in a hot coffee cup, with a thick layer of cold foam on top. The prices are impressive here (my whole order was $10!) but the food and drink really stand on their own! My iced coffee was delicious with the thick foam. My only complaint was that it was too small - I will be getting a large (for only $3.50) next time. When I reached the end, I opened the lid and was able to scoop up the tasty foam to finish off my drink. What a wonderful surprise it was to find a layer of icy, slushy-like coffee hidden in this foam as well! So refreshing on a hot summer day. The cornetto was also amazing. The pistachio cream on top was sweet and creamy, and when I bit into the center, there was a hollowing with little bits of pistachio in a bruleed sugar cave. All finished with a dusting of powdered sugar snow. Casa Salvo is an amazing addition to the UWS! Excited for many more slow coffee dates here. It truly feels like you are in Italy. read more

Small Italian cafe with some products, selective baked goods and coffee. We had the cold espresso with iced almond milk from Sicily and the pistachio latte both were very refreshing. The premium grind we bought was darker than expected which I liked. Arrived too late for croissants but muffin filled with pistachio was well worth. The filling was delicious. Definitely worth a visit when you're on the upper west side. Next to purdy girl. read more

Was in Italy recently and had enjoyed a cappuccino and chocolate cornetto every morning and was craving for the same experience. Luckily Casasalvo opened up right in UWS! I'm able to get a little taste back here in the states! Overall pretty good cappuccino and cornetto and I feel like they should have a standing counter or table to complete the quick drink and go experience you get in Italy read more

A little taste of Italy on the UWS. Casa Salvo serves up a nice selection of coffees and pastries, plus a market of goodies from Italy. I enjoyed my shakerato as well as my brioche filled with cream.

Love this new Italian cafe located on Amsterdam between 82/83. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a slim little spot right next to Hi Life.

When Matto Espresso gradually increased their flat rated coffee from $2 to the present $3, I thought getting a cup of quality joe was over (no, not going to let McD be the standard). Then Casa Salvo serendipitously opened, a specilty Italian market that not only sell imported edible foods, but also classic drinks made with Rome-based Dokito coffee beans. Don't forget to compliment with a cornetto, then enjoy the light snacks sitting at the outside tables or walk on over to Central Park for more greenery. It is a cute European shop, a beacon of lights that's not another chain or dispensary. read more

Salvo is a fabulous man. The cappuccinos are delicious and the most affordable at $2.51!! Can't beat that. Completely recommend for a quick bite or just for a coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service and ambiance is just worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Casa Salvo is officially my new favorite Italian bakery and coffee spot! They have a few locations around the city, and I'm so excited they just opened one right here in Times Square. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the perfect escape from all the chaos outside -- cozy, welcoming, and filled with the most incredible smell of fresh pastries and coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried their cannoli and a croissant, and both were out of this world. The cannoli was perfectly crisp with a rich, creamy filling (not too sweet -- just right), and the croissant was buttery, flaky, and so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. You can tell everything is made with real care and quality ingredients. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a little break, Casa Salvo is absolutely worth a stop. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been here a handful of times since they opened a few weeks ago and they never disappoint!! Very affordable coffee that is also delicious. I also got an Italian soda which was great. I had one of their pastries as well which was very light and sweet. They don't have indoor seating, but sitting on the outdoor patio was lovely. The workers were very kind and efficient! I haven't tried their Italian goods yet, but there are a lot of products that I'd like to try one day. I will definitely be visiting again soon and often! read more

Went to the 9th Street location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the coffee was okay, nice staff. Coffee needs to be better.

Amazing new spot on the UWS. Can't beat the prices or the people. Cappuccino is well great along with the pistachio cornettos

Perfect for pastry lovers... but maybe not for coffee lovers. I ordered an iced latte expecting the traditional version, so I was surprised when I saw my drink get poured into the blender. I would have appreciated if the barista told me that it wasn't a regular iced latte - I may have changed my order if I had known. Although it wasn't what I was expecting, I was happy to try something new. However, the coffee itself was had a bitter, unpleasant flavor. I do not think I would get the coffee again. That being said, the pistachio muffin I got is quite delicious! The pistachio cream is sweet, but not too sweet and tastes like real pistachios. I had hoped for the croissant, but arrived too late in the morning to get one. I would consider going back just for the pastries. read more

On our way to dinner we walked by this new spot, popped in to see the offerings which were impressive! On our way out the Chef introduced himself and was so charming my husband and I said we would be in for coffee the next morning. We just had incredible cappuccinos and cornettos. Truly the best pistachio cornetto since my last trip to Italy! Welcome to the neighbourhood....... read more

Incredible addition to the upper west side! I studied abroad in Rome and have not had an authentic cornetto since... until today! The cappuccino was fantastic, the cornetto was delicious. The place was busy - you could tell people were excited - but not overly crowded. Francesco and Claire were very friendly and welcoming, as were Kip and Chef Salvo. I'll be back and truly hope this spot lasts a long time. read more

A location just opened up by me in UES and I couldn't be happier! As someone who loves Italian coffee and pastries, this place does amazing on both fronts. The cappuccino with pistachio, cappuccino with almond, and pistachio iced latte are all incredible! I've had the bombolino (Italian donut) and their cronut and both are amazing and very much like the sweets I've had in Italy. I happened to meet the owner one day who's incredibly nice and welcoming and Laura is so sweet and makes a great pistachio latte. Definitely worth a try :) read more

This place has the best iced coffee on the UWS. Made on the spot. Finished off with a blender. Wow.
