Great

Our first visit,very impressed with the spotlessly clean restaurant, we had the fixed three course menu the service was first class as was the food,good sized portions every course was delicious, we will be back.

I always go to Gio’s pre concert with friends. Service is excellent and rapid. Waiters are all friendly and helpful. The food quality is always superb. The venue is warm welcoming and friendly. It is easy to book online. It is an excellent venue for the Bridgewater and is always full. The prices are good and good variety on the menu

Excellent pre-show dinner & excellent value for money

Great service and fantastic food. As an expat you don’t realize how much you miss your “home” food. We definitely plan on visiting once a month.

The food and service were very good. I have only marked it down for atmosphere because we were in the back room which felt rather subterranean!

We arrived in good time, the place was completely packed no empty tables. I gave my name and we were shown to the bar to wait. More people were coming in who had also prebooked a table, it was quite crampted, A couple came in gave there name, and the waiter came to us and said i felt accusingly that their name was Wood the same as ours, as if i was lying about our reservation, how would i know someone elses booking. A table came available, i asked if it was for us, he said no, i reminded him that our booking was for 6pm, which we were past, we got the table. We would have been better going to pizza hut, the food was not that good, it was expensive i will not be going back.

It was OK. Pre Theatre menu. Looks reasonable but with a couple of sides, drinks and one dessert soon racked up to £85 which wasn’t quite so reasonable for a pasta meal. The 10% service charge is not acceptable. The service was ok so I didn’t feel like I should challenge it, and I would have tipped, but feel it is cheeky ! We went there because we thought it would be cheaper than San Carlo. I wish I paid the few pounds extra for better food and experience!

I visited Chakalaka over the weekend, and what a joy it was for me as an expat Saffa. Got my favourite Hunters Dry, biltong, droewors and other yummy dishes in a nice relaxed atmosphere. The venue itself was comfy and quirky and the service great. I am sure some of the classic recipes will not satisfy every person, but we loved it and ate WAYYYY too much!!

Great food, good value lunch deal menu. Would recommend.

Lovely little hidden gem in the Northern Quarter. Great atmosphere and good value. Look forward to discovering the beer garden in the future.

A superb pre-theatre meal with friends, fabulous friendly staff.

Booked table for 15th Feb on line my for my 3rd visit, I bring macy my neice age 14 who is veggie the last 2 visits were spit on. I came Saturday with macy and my husband we ordered starters all fine then 2 pitzas again fine but I asked for the crab linguine which arrived with no crab and 5 prawns!! In asking was told had no crab and should have been told by the lady who served us, incidently both nice ladies however we said we went told and I would have not had it if that was the case!!! No resolution no would you like to order something else just an assumption that was how it is, unhappy as I was as both my husband and neice werehalf way through the pitzas just decided to eat it , I think that the whole we have no crab was poor so prawns it is was poor which would having travelled especially from Worsley would stop me from going again!! Shame it had become a favourite of ours sorry better customer service would have helped

It was my first time here and all I can say is that I will definitely be coming back. Food was great and full of flavour. The atmosphere was perfect and I had a great time.

Our first visit here and it won’t be the last. Brilliant atmosphere and huge choice of food that we are looking forward to trying. Our food and services was excellent. Well worth the visit at reasonable prices too.

Came here on Valentine’s Day with the girlfriend, we both loved the meal, got what you paid for and the food was amazing

Very nice indeed
