Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Extremely friendly staff.Good value,good service and very large pizzas.

We had a lovely meal before we went to the theatre . Our table was waiting for us the restaurant was very busy but service excellent. We really enjoyed the food it is extremely well run and the staff really care about the service and the food . We are definitely going back

We went for a meal here before seeing a show at the palace theatre. We had a 2 course pre theatre menu. The choices were ok. I would definitely recommend booking as it is a very busy restaurant. It was good value and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve meal at Gio’s. The table we had booked was waiting when we arrived and the staff took drinks orders soon after we’d settled in. The starters came not long after we’d selected them, and all were delicious. The main courses also arrived quickly and were really good - some of the best Italian meals we’ve ever tasted. Throughout our visit the staff were pleasant and polite. All in all a great place to eat.

Service and food was of a high standard. We had the pre theatre deal before going to the Palace theatre, which is good value. Would definitely eat here again.

When we arrived we were not on the booking system, and told that we were early as we had booked 11.45 am, apparently they don’t open until midday. However, the maitre d allocated us a table and we had a nice meal.

Food fab as always and had a lovely time with my family however, Service was rushed and staff a little brisk due to it being very busy perhaps?

Lovely food and pleasant service. I had seen some less than complementary reviews of high prices and poor service. This was not our experience, and found the pasta dishes - particularly the caneloni with great good value and very tasty. Would book again.

Lovely place, we always come before the theatre. Food is lovely and the staff are wonderful.

Excellent pre show venue for a meal. It is very busy and the staff are under pressure but nonetheless very pleasant and helpful. I would suggest booking a table to avoid disappointment. I won’t pretend you are going to get fine dining but the pre show menus is acceptable and great value for money. All in all a pleasant pre show experience. You could pay more and do far worse.

ALWAYS come here prior to a show at the Palace. It never disappoints. The service, given how busy it always is, is outstanding. The food quality this time was also first-rate (occasionally 'only' very good!). Pre-theatre menu is really excellent value, but just beware of cost of drinks, which perhaps are rather high. Also be aware service charge is added to bill (supposedly optional, but definitely well worth it), but then card transactions ask if you want to leave a gratuity. Though I'd recommend you book in advance, they seemed to be able to accommodate those without bookings, despite it being seemingly 'full'.

Great place for pre theatre supper. Efficient and welcoming service, good food and set menu with sufficient choices.

Great pre theatre meal excellent food.Little issue with the incorrect billing but soon resolved

excellent value, good food and service a great pre theatre menu

Booked by phone and online explained special 40th Ruby anniversary.Shown to a table,without asking,no special treatment.Food below average,could have got lots better locally.Very disappointing experience.

Excellent service and very good food and it was hot.

Although very busy the service was excellent. Have visited many times, the food is always very good and I have never been disappointed. I can certainly recommend the prawn cocktail starter and mafiosa pizza.

Excellent food with friendly and attentive staff.
