Reviews in Manchester City Centre

As a South African, it was good to enjoy some home delights. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a great vibe. The malva pudding tasted of home and was the best way to end the night

Amazing food and cosy atmosphere

Booked last minute before a show and were so glad we got in. Great atmosphere as was show night. I only had a pizza, it was cooked to perfection, lightly fire and was amazing. They gave us a set menu without asking, if you just ask to swap as we only wanted 1 course. They only complaint I have was the £12 for a glass of rose, that just doesn't sit right with me, I even called to check we hadn't been charged for a bottle!!!

The best meal out! Great atmosphere, food and service. Definitely going back!

5 of us dined her before seeing a show at the theatre and from arriving to leaving everything was perfect. Lovely staff and the meals were all amazing. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future and would highly recommend.

Had a booking for 8 of us last night although we did have to wait a while the food definitely made up for it, Overall I would really recommend this restaurant to others the food was great and staff were polite! P.s bit stingy on the spuds lol!

Made a reservation for after the theatre matinee. Excellent food…hot and tasty. Staff were very pleasant and the restaurant was busy which is a good sign. Thank you for a lovely end to our afternoon.

The food and service was amazing, definitely going back

This was my first time and it didn’t disappoint. The food was really tasty and the value for money was great. Definitely book a table as they were pretty busy, which isn’t surprising.

Great location for the theatre and excellent start to our evening out. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food very tasty and delivered very promptly. Would recommend this restaurant.

Sensational food, top service, good atmosphere, tasty choice of beers, what more could you want. Great meal out with a group of friends.

Chakalaka is one of the best restaurants I've been to in Manchester! The atmosphere, service, food, and drinks were all outstanding. Their January deals made our meal ridiculously good value as well! When you walk in the whole place smells amazing and I love the fact it's totally independent. I had never tried South African food before but it was absolutely delish!

The food, service and vibe was great. Will come again

I had a fab dinner at Gio last Sunday 8 January for celebrating my wife's birthday with my little daughter. Customer service and food were both great. I was so impressed with the special decoration on our desert dish, which was served with a candle, to our surprise. Thank you the Gio team.

Very nice restaurant, good food, good vibes nice drinks

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my 2 children and my parents. Portion sizes are generous - there were multiple boxes of leftovers taken home! Whilst there is no specific children’s menu, smaller servings of dishes are available. Toilet facilities are downstairs and could do with some more attention - the door to one of the cubicles did not shut properly, the hand dryer was not working and the paper towel ran out. Service was slow to take our order, but quite attentive thereafter; the chap on the bar in the corner is quite on the ball. It’s been over 10 years since I last visited Giorgio’s and it it certainly pricier than I remember, or maybe that city centre dining these days.

Had a meal here on the 23rd December and although it was quite busy the food and service was excellent. Very friendly staff and Manager. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

Perfect food, lovely staff and affordable - what more could you want!
