Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I have been here a couple of times now and I love it. The staff are attentive without being overbearing. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is good. Everything you need for either an intimate meal or large group.

Excellent meal for three of us just before a daughter's graduation ceremony at Bridgewater Hall. Great food, friendly service. Provided everything we were hoping for. It was lunch time so not very busy but would certainly return if ever back in the area.

Dropped in for lunch. Promptly seated and drinks provided. Ordered Polla alla creme but asked for a couple of changes to what was on offer. This was done easily. Food was piping hot and very tasty indeed. Service throughout was pleasant and I would certainly return for another excellent meal.

Excellent food served promptly. The maitre de is cheerful friendly and makes it a pleasure to dine at his restaurant with he son serving us.

the atmosphere was great, we had chicken pate to start but the bread nearly took my teeth out it was so hard. I had Seafood pasta which was just okay but the squid was chewy and the mussels over cooked..wine was expensive but very nice..would we go back? probably not as there are so many italian restaurants to choose from with much better value for money

We had the chicken pate but the bread u could break ur teeth on..the main was ok but nothing to shout about ....atmosphere was good though ....

For the price we were expecting a much better standard of food and service. It took half an hour between our starter and main course (i think we were forgotten) and the food quality really wasn't worth the price. I've been to many Italian restaurants in Manchester that cost far less that have their own home made pasta, here it was thick, doughy and they hadn't even cooked it correctly it was all stuck together and dry. It's advertised as a pre-theatre restaurant which is why we went, however as the mains took so long I couldn't even send back the poor food as we'd simply run out of time. It was okay, but far overpriced for the standard.

We love this place! The food is amazing. We are regular customers and we will continue going. Good customer service

Wonderful evening meal to celebrate graduation! Food delicious, service great, feel welcome every time we go. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend! Thank you!

We booked this restaurant for our son’s graduation. Excellent service, the food was delicious and a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it

Very quick service bit to quick had not finished starter and came out with main meal but no worries just put it on the table food was very nice would have liked a pudding but was not asked and then it was to late was going to see a show would go again xx

Gorgeous food, great friendly service, lovely Italian atmosphere and good value for money

Meal food and service excellent. A most enjoyable experience

The staff are lovely and it was a great surprise at their quirkiness. Great atmosphere.

Booked for 17:45 for the pre theatre menu. Arrived at 17:45. Waited for the maitre ‘d to seat the ladies in front of us. Told him my name and he then said “nicely late aren’t you”! I looked at watch and it was a couple of minutes past 17:45. I said I don’t think so he then just said it’s that table over there. Wasn’t sure if he was joking or not but it wasn’t the best of starts to the evening! The service and meal after that was fine. The drinks are very expensive at £ 9.25 upwards for a glass of wine. We just had tap water. On paying the maitre’d for the meal he said “just tap water”. Perhaps we weren’t spending enough but if the wine wasn’t as expensive we would have. Maybe it was our age as we are in our 60’s.

We enjoyed our pre-theatre lunch here on Saturday July 9th. We were greeted warmly by a gentleman who has worked here for many years. Service was speedy and efficient and the food was very tasty. Good value for money.
