Salve is a Roman word used by Romans to greet each other. Rather than Ciao, or Come Stai, Buongiorno and other Italian greetings, it is a more formal greeting that when used, it was asking someone not only hello but wishing someone well.
This was a perfect choice for owner Gianni Cinelli’s 3rd Italian restaurant in the Triangle. Gianni already has Vivo Ristorante and Osteria G, so it made sense to name it Trattoria Salve, as that gave him the trifecta in Italian restaurants.
