Reviews in Manchester City Centre

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!

We booked for Valentine’s Day 2023 for the pre theatre menu, I was a little worried we would be rushed due to it being Vday but I didn’t have to worry. The service was impeccable and we had plenty of time to really enjoy our meal. The food, wow, so delicious and the pre theatre menu is definitely great value for money. Great portions and great choice. We will definitely be back again, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. The staff are wonderful, really attentive and have great personalities. 10/10.

Table booked on Valentines Day, lovely table next to the window, lovely atmosphere, lovely food, no complaints at all, thank you

Had a lovely meal for both my daughter's birthday and valentine's. We had lasagne, pizza and salmon. All very enjoyable. The menu we were given was restricted compared to what we had looked at online. Disappointed to then see other diners with a more extensive menu later when we were told that the menu we had was the only one available.

Excellent food and welcoming, attentive staff. Top quality all round.

Not a great meal to be honest. Ordered gluten free carbonara and a normal spaghetti bolognese - simple meals. The 'bacon' in the carbonera was dry, tough, chewy and had a horrible aftertaste - really not good! It really was such a simpe meal - i don't know how they got it so wrong! I ordered a glass of white wine with my meal, which arrived warm - not remotely chilled never mind cold. The quality of the wine served was so poor it needed to be served COLD to make it at least palatable - not great at £12 a glass ! My daughter could not drink her vodka and coke - said it tasted 'strange'. Had to remind the waiters twice that we had asked for some water for the table before it arrived. All in all, we left 'fed' but not happy. Not a great experience for such a simple costing £50 - felt completely ripped off!

Food and drink OK. Prices exorbitant. Is this the way of the world?

Came here just before a theatre trip to take advantage of the theatre menu which was I believe around £22.50. Firstly I felt very rushed as was asked what my drink order was as soon as I was took to my seat. I ordered a mini bottle of Prosecco, the tiny bottles. Then I ordered the pate and chutney, came with toasted but cold bread, poor excuse of side salad, loads of pate which was nice and no chutney so I had to ask for this. Then I ordered the lasagne which was lovely, and a side portion of fries which was £4.75 and was about 20 fries. Bill came to £43 which I think I was overcharged for the mini bottle of Prosecco as it was one glass.
