Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Had an excellent meal and excellent prices. Very efficient service and very friendly waiter and waitress. Nice to see this within a very short distance from the city centre. All in all excellent all round. Will be returning.

Our first visit and will certainly return. Pre-theatre menu good value and good quality. Good staff and good service, very friendly and efficient. Only negative was the quality of the orange fruit juice, which was not good. Surely wouldn't be too too much trouble to get in something decent for those of us on alcohol-free menu? Otherwise everything really good.

Wonderful afternoon. Lovely food and atmosphere. Been many times and always have the same experience. Staff are so attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone from a couple to a larger group. We will be returning.

We chose off the pre-theatre 2 course menu at £23.95 per person. Meal very good. Service very quick and efficient. Drinks on the pricey side but would eat there again.

Excellent service, wonderful food and marvellous ambience.

I went for a meal on the 24th Feb before attending the theatre. What a wonderful place! It had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. It was busy but the service was fast. There were four of us in the group and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I would highly recommend Gio's and will definitely return. Thank you.

We visited Gio’s for a pre concert meal. The food and wine were excellent and the service was of a high standard

Great food and service and with 50% deal, superb value for money - would definitely recommend.

Well run, fun and interesting venue, the staff are so hard working, the evening I was there the restaurant was full and buzzing and yet the staff coped well and remained upbeat and friendly. Food is very tasty and different and that is harder to do than it sounds because Northern Quarter is so varied and different across all of the streets. Well done all of you at Chakalaka, I and my group of 6 locals loved our evening with you.

We ate here following a trip to the theatre. We were greeted warmly on arrival. The food was served quickly and with a smile and was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely return when we’re next in Manchester.

Wonderful food and service, as usual! Thank you to all at Gio’s.

Great restaurant. Funky decor & top tunes. Staff were great and attentive without being overbearing. Good offers on cocktails & very tasty cocktails. Food was outstanding. Cooked to perfection & presented well.

It was our second visit and didn’t disappoint same as the 1st visit .Service was friendly and inviting Food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing.Will definitely be returning.

Our party of 4 dined pre theatre. The service was very good and attentive but the staff seemed run off their feet. When our food arrived it was delicious and we enjoyed it very much. Drinks were overpriced though and any savings on the pre theatre menu was made up by the drinks bill. We had to ask several times for our bill. Again the staff were very busy. Overall the quality of the food far outweighed any negatives and we would certainly go again but would give ourselves an extra half hour next time.

Awesome service, no stress at all and the food was excellent as usual, we were heading to a show and the staff were first class, well done. I would highly recommend Gio its been a favourite for years, it is a great independent Italian restaurant with personality and attitude, well done for still being there for us after all these years.

We went for the 50% off so it was an amazing deal!! Plus the happy hour cocktails meant we were able to try more than one- they were really good cocktails and the food was really yummy. Both servers we had were really friendly and we felt well looked after, will be recommending to others

This was our first visit to Arnero on the corner of Chorlton Street coach station in the Village and I must say I was surprised. Being so centrally situated in the centre of Manchester with easy parking and access. We went for a Valentines' meal and were surprised by the value for money. With a nice decor and very friendly staff it added to our first impressions of Arnero. The food was very tasty and very reasonably priced. With wheelchair access and nearby disabled parking not to mention Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options on the menu this restaurant has it all for friends and families without having to go to the always busy and bustling 'Curry Mile' in Rusholme. Each dish served had the most important factor in a meal 'taste'. Prices were lower than expected for such tasy food and budget-wise think about 30% more than your take-away prices from your local Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants. This is not bad for wanting to 'dine-out' for a treat. The menu on the website speaks for itself (although a chicken version of the Rogan-Josh would have made it perfect for myself) and for a couple with wine we paid under £70. The only compliment I can give is it will now be the place we dine-out in before a night on the town. The staff were attentive and the food very tasty and we'll definitely be back.
