Salute starts with what Italians are most proud of - fantastic, rustic dishes, using recipes that have been tried, tested and loved! As well as serving exceptional food, we aim to create a "neighborhood" venue, inspired by the "Italian table" where people relax, share, and enjoy each other's company

A short drive from Leeds City Centre and conveniently placed just off the M62 in Rothwell, Salute is now a prominent fixture on the local dining scene.

Salute @ The White Swan is a Neighborhood Italian Bar & Restaurant, just a few minutes drive down the M62. With Leeds City center just 10 minutes away.
Reopened in June 2004 under the expert & professional guidance of Justine Gregory, Operational Director, Salute is friendly, welcoming, relaxed and informal. In fact the company mission statement says it all…

…a successful Neighborhood Italian style Restaurant & bar, with a vision to exceed customer expectations of food style, quality & service…

We have live jazz every other Saturday, a full events calendar for the year, regular promotions, offers, and customers are encouraged to join our mailing list to receive the Salute newsletter. We also cater for private parties from christenings and children’s parties, through to retirements, birthdays and weddings – whatever the occasion we will be happy to help and will have a menu to suit.

Infact whatever your reason for visiting Salute, we assure you of a warm welcome. However, don’t just take our word for it…
