Salvinelli

Features and types

Dining cutlery

The heart of the Salvinelli catalogue is stainless steel cutlery for the table. The models are distinguished by the shape of the handle and by the profile of the blade or head: the Cambridge model has clean lines suitable for both home and restaurant tables; the Rimini model is available in coffee spoon (135 mm) and cappuccino spoon (130 mm) sizes; the Goccia model declines the same category with a slightly more rounded profile; the Mix model offers a versatile solution for coffee service. Packs of 12 pieces cover the standard setting for a table of six, packs of 100 pieces are designed for professional service — bars, restaurants, hospitality facilities. In appetiser forks the Geometrico model (119 mm) offers proportions calibrated for the first course. The extra-long spoon (245 mm, 12 pcs) is designed for cocktails and tall glasses.

Steak knives and kitchen cutlery

The knife line is divided into two areas: table knives, designed for the diner, and professional kitchen knives.

Among steak knives for the table stand out the Twist (226 mm, set of 12), the Cambridge (224 mm, set of 12) and the Bistrot razor edge (115 mm blade, set of 12). They are designed for restaurants and meat tables, where the quality of the blade makes the difference.

For the kitchen the catalogue includes the Santoku Classic Knife (160 mm), the Boning Classic Knife (230 mm) and the Deboning Classic Knife: three distinct tools for as many tasks — the santoku for the pressure cutting of vegetables and meat, the boning knife for large cuts, the deboning knife for work around the bone. The Forged Citrus Bistrot Knife (set of 12) completes the range for table service or in the kitchen.

If you are equipping your kitchen with quality knives, you will also find the selection of kitchen and table knives with other brands in the catalogue.

Stainless steel kitchen accessories

Salvinelli produces a consistent line of stainless steel kitchen utensils: double-mesh conical strainers (diameters 8, 12, 16 cm), fine-mesh skimmers (D 15 cm, L 48 cm) and heavy skimmers (D 16 cm), square frying baskets (10×10 cm) and conical ones (D 10 cm, H 15 cm), graters (22×3 cm). The skimmer Cucina Novella (33 cm, in nylon) is the only non-stainless steel variant in the range. These utensils complete the professional equipment of an active kitchen, without unnecessary redundancies.

Barman spoons and bar accessories

Among the lesser-known but highly sought-after articles by bar professionals are long barman spoons: the Teardrop (30 cm), the model with Muddler (28 cm), the Trident (40 cm) and theHoffman (30 cm). All in stainless steel, for single use. The Roast Fork (30 cm, stainless steel) completes the professional serving pieces.

How to choose Salvinelli cutlery

Domestic or professional use? Packs of 12 pieces cover a table of six with two pieces per type. Packs of 100 pieces (Rimini coffee and cappuccino spoons) are calibrated for bar service: if you have a small establishment or provide supplies, the bulk format reduces unit cost and guarantees uniformity.

Which coffee spoon model? The Symbol (132 mm) has a more essential design; the Cambridge (135 mm) is slightly longer and more classic; the Goccia and the Mix have more contemporary profiles. For cappuccino the Rimini at 130 mm is the most standard in Italian bars and cafés.

Steak knives: smooth or serrated blade? The Bistrot razor edge has a smooth blade, suitable for tender meats where you want a clean cut. The Twist has more traditional proportions for classic service. If the function is table service in a restaurant, the set of 12 is the right format; for home use you can consider smaller sets in the range.

Kitchen accessories: size and mesh. The conical double-mesh strainers in three sizes (8, 12, 16 cm) are chosen based on the work volume: D 8 for individual portions and reduced broths, D 12 for daily use, D 16 for large quantities. The skimmers differ in weight and mesh: the fine-mesh version (D 15 cm) is more delicate, the heavy one (D 16 cm) works on frying and white sauces.

For dining cutlery from other brands in the catalogue you can consult the section cutlery and table accessories, which also includes brands such as Zani Serafino for a comparison of style and format. Or, if you are looking for signed design pieces, the page Alessi offers cutlery and table accessories with a different design identity.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about Salvinelli

What does "18/10 cutlery" Salvinelli mean?

The number 18/10 indicates the composition of the stainless steel used: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This alloy guarantees corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning in the dishwasher and durability over time. It is the most widely used standard in restaurant cutlery and in the mid-to-high range for domestic use.

Are Salvinelli cutlery items suitable for the dishwasher?

Stainless steel products in the Salvinelli catalogue are compatible with dishwasher washing. The nylon skimmer (Cucina Novella) should be checked on the specific sheet: stainless steel has no problems, nylon requires lower temperatures.

Can I order individual pieces or only sets?

The catalogue on L'Arcolaio includes both individual items (roast fork, barman spoons, kitchen knives) and packs of 12 pieces for table cutlery and 100 pieces for professional spoons. You can choose the format based on your need — a single piece to complete your equipment or a set to renew your entire table.

Which steak knife models does Salvinelli have?

In the catalogue you will find the Twist (226 mm), the Cambridge (224 mm) and the Bistrot razor edge (115 mm blade): all in stainless steel, available in sets of 12 pieces. For kitchen knives the Classic range includes the santoku, the boning knife and the deboning knife.

Does Salvinelli also make bar accessories?

Yes: the catalogue includes long barman spoons in four models (Teardrop, with Muddler, Trident, Hoffman), suitable for cocktails and long drink beverages. These items are sold as individual pieces in stainless steel.
