Great authentic southern African food. My home away from home. Great staff and unreal food and cocktails. Will definately be coming back again

Great pre- theatre meal with excellent service and super food

Best italian we have EVER had! It was amazing from start to finish. The ice cream for pudding was to die for! The staff were so friendly and attentive and the pre theatre menu was amazing value for money. Unreal sized portions and great tasting, authentic italian food. Will definitely be back! Very clean and well presented too! 10/10 from me. Myself and my family haven’t stopped raving about this place! Great little find!

Good service, friendly staff and tasty authentic Italian food. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be back.

Went here due to reviews our experience wasn't great. Table booked for 5.30pm for pre theater dinner 2 courses. 3 adults and a 4 yr old. We arrived on time and were shown to a table in a back room where there were 4 other diners at that time. We waited 20 mins for drinks order to arrive and waited for ordered meals.3 starters and a child portion of a main. The 3 starters took nearly a further 30 mins to arrive and were really not great garlic mushrooms seemed to be tinned and tasted sour. Toast with pate was cold and hard uneatable but we went on......no child drinks available as an option. 2 out of 3 starters went back barely touched...mains arrived at 18.55pm barely 30 mins from start of show we'd booked and a full hour and a half after our arrival. We asked several times where our food was and were told it will be with you in a few mins.. not true. 3 mains were served childs meal was missing we informed we had to be at theater and needed them to get food served. Food quality was lacking we ordered 1 x chicken dish 2 x pizzas and a childs bolognese the food arrived at 6.53pm giving just 35 mins to eat and get to theater. We rushed our mains to get us to theater in time and left most of the food which wasn't great anyway. When we mentioned issues we were told well we're busy....not my problem I paid over £100 for substandard food and service with no apology from staff. Really unhappy we eat out a lot and this was so disappointing food quality was poor but service was abysmal feel ripped off full theater dinner price for a child portion of spaghetti is disgusting and we're very unhappy by lack of customer care and lack of interest in our comments when we paid the bill which were polite. My advice is don't bother save your money it spends anywhere.

As always a lovely atmosphere, great service and tasty, value for money food

Came her for pre theatre menu, food was delicious and quick. Staff were great and very attentive. As its only a small restaurant there seemed to be a few too many tables as we were very close to the next table.

Ate here for the first time. Chose from the set pre-theatre menu. The food was delicious, the tomato garlic bread was the best I’ve tasted! Enjoyed 3 courses and all of them were cooked/prepared perfectly. The staff made the visit even more enjoyable, the manager (or owner) served us and was attentive and engaging. Will definitely visit again and recommend to family/friends. Thank you!

Went for a pre concert dinner, we didn't choose the set menu as it didn't appeal, but really enjoyed bread and olives then cannelloni and pollo alla Milanese. Service was quick and pleasant even though restaurant was very busy. We did have to ask for water, this should be provided as standard. Will definitely come again before going to Bridgewater Hall.

Lovely meal here, food was excellent, service was outstanding , and the restaurant is very cosy.

From the moment we walked in for a pre theatre meal the staff were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was great. We all enjoyed our food and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Perfect start to our evening.

Recently visited for a pre-theatre meal. Food was excellent and we had very attentive service throughout. Good value for money if having the 2 course pre- theatre menu. Convenient location for the Palace Theatre. Will definitely visit again.

Food was alright, slightly over priced for what it is. Very simple menu. Manager was a little bit over the top and was quite rude when I mentioned I had a voucher. Had to ask to get more drinks and asked 2 waiters to get the bill. We were squashed in a corner right next to another table so I couldn’t get in or out of my seat without the asking the other table to move. Won’t be going back there in a hurry, £60 for 2 basic pasta dishes and 3 drinks.

Fantastic helpful staff and excellent food, would definitely recommend as a place to eat with friends and family x

5 star food! 5 star service. Very welcoming staff. Food was incredible. Service was fantastic. Will the definitely be re visiting. Perfect place for pre theatre dinner.

First time at Arnero but will not be our last. Service was friendly and efficient - not intrusive. Food was fabulous. The Chicken Tikka was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Additionally, the side of Sag Aloo was both different and traditional. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Perfect for meeting up with friends, family and partners. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Excellent valentines meal at Gio's. Staff were friendly, attentive and professional, the atmosphere was lovely, classy and cosy, and the food came out quickly and it was delicious. 5 stars!

Excellent food and excellent service
