Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Visited with my daughter and we were really early for our booking but were seated by very friendly staff member. They couldn’t have done enough for us. Food was great and waiters were very attentive. They even have is our garlic bread on the house. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Manchester.

Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. Can’t recommend enough.

The food was absolutely amazing! The wors was soo tasty, well cooked and juicy! The chakalaka was also so good but it missed something. Service was top tier! Really enjoyed visiting this place! Oh and the music also, it honestly made us feel like we were home for a bit.

This is a beautiful little restaurant with probably the best food I’ve ever had Definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed

Can't fault this place. Wonderful food, reasonably priced and attentive, friendly staff.

Fabulous staff and food would highly recommend and we will be back. Thank you

Amazing food and great atmosphere, would highly recommend!

Food and service was outstanding! Will defiantly be going back sooner than later Cream Soda though! Thank you

I’ve been there twice now and the food had amazing flavours and a variety of delicious sides, my favourite is always the Mac n cheese! The drinks were 10/10!

Glad we booked as there were several people waiting for a table but we were seated immediately. It is a very popular restaurant as it is very close to the Bridgewater Hall and has a pre-concert menu. Despite being very busy we found the service very good. Starters arrived after about 10 minutes and mains almost immediately after we finished starter. Food was very good. Would definitely go again .

Amazing food!! Me and my dad went and couldn't stop raving about it.

From the moment we arrived, all the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We were seated and had ordered drinks promptly and had ordered our food within 5 minutes of sitting at our table. When the food arrived, it was absolutely delicious, and they were extremely generous portions. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

Attended on 22nd April 2023 as a birthday meal for my girlfriend, amazing tasty food and service will return!

Have eaten here 4 times now - brought family - and had a perfect experience every time! Gorgeous food and a range of choices, perfect atmosphere, amazing gem in Northern Quarter. Always dreaming about that Milk Tart!

My wife and I were quickly sat down and drinks order taken. Food order was taken and we started with Garlic Bread, followed by Caprice Salad the Spaghetti Arrabiata . The Garlic bread came quickly but then we waited over 15 minutes but the salad never came, after a further 10 minutes the Spaghetti Arrabiata came. We questioned where the salad was but ?? We cancelled it as the Spaghetti was going cold but Oh Dear there was no taste of Arrabiata to it. As we were going to the theatre time was not on our side so had to leave. It is sad that GIOs let us down on this evening as we have been many times before and always had a good experience. We will be going again as we hope it was an odd evening for the chefs.

All the staff were fantastic, but the host ( especially ) pulled all the stops out. To receive such amazing service for just 'little old me' on a carb loading evening meal ahead of the marathon, was brilliant. He gave the same amount of attention to every single customer. And to top it all off, the food was excellent!!. I had spinach ravioli followed by tiramisu. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough!

Absolutely fantastic food and the service was quick too. Perfectly tucked away but busy so would definitely recommend booking! The pre-theatre dinner menu was great value - we will certainly be back!

We arrived late for our booking, due to traffic , but received a warm welcome and were quickly seated and served drinks and food from the pre theatre menu. Friendly and professional staff and the food was delicious. Would loved to have stayed longer but needed to rush off for the performance. Ideally located if going to the palace theatre and would definitely recommend.
