The cooking
The kitchen sticks to time-honoured Italian recipes and bold, straightforward flavours. Pasta is the thing to order: it is made by hand daily. Save room for dessert, which the restaurant takes particular pride in and makes fresh. Menus are posted on the restaurant's website, so you can look ahead before you book. If you would rather eat in, the same kitchen delivers through Uber Eats and Deliveroo across the area, which is handy on a wet evening or after a long day out.
Menus and occasions
There is an à la carte menu, a separate lunch menu, a drinks list and a children's menu, so it works for a quick weekday lunch as well as a family meal or a dinner for two. Tables can be booked online for groups of up to sixteen, which makes it useful for birthdays and get-togethers.
Where it fits in a day
City Road runs north-east out of the centre, so A Pin of Salt makes a good dinner stop if you are staying nearby, including at the easyHotel on Fitzalan Place. Before eating, look in at St Peter's Church, or grab a coffee at Sparrow Coffee House the next morning.
