Food was really good but can’t say the same for the service. The booking asked if there was a special occasion to which I put celebrating engagement. Nothing was done for this so unsure why they ask if you’re celebrating anything special and they sat us on a table next to a loud party that had live music knowing we were celebrating when there were plenty of other tables free.

The nicest, fresh, tasty food. Thoroughly recommend, you won’t go anywhere else after you’ve been!

Another excellent meal at Arnero. Delicious, fresh and spicy! We often eat here after travelling up from London for a City home game. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food, atmosphere and service as always

Visited Sorella for the first time on Saturday evening the restaurant was full however this didn't impact on the service which was excellent. The food was also of a high standard we all really enjoyed the evening and would recommend Sorrella.

Absolutely delicious food so fresh & tastes amazing the service from the staff is fantastic I’ve been quite a few times and wouldn’t go anywhere else I 100% recommend it. If you haven’t yet tried it please do you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic food & service

It was Saturday evening and the pub was full, so it was very noisy. We weren't given a wine list. The waitress was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed. The food was lovely but the service was extremely slow.

Everything great !

It was our first visit and certainly won't be our last. The food and service was amazing. A really nice place to visit and the atmosphere was perfect. Also really good value for money.

Meal was excellent. Sadly poor choice of rose wine. Large noise party in restaurant next to us. Love to see people enjoying themselves but we couldn’t hear each other’s conversation at our table. Needed more staff on when busy.

Arrived at The Pavilion with great anticipation, we hadn't visited the establishment before. I had had been told by a work colleague I was in for a treat. In reception we were met by a rather gruff fellow who acknowledged our booking but proceeded to sit other people who came in after us. After eventually being seated we ordered , starting with poppadoms and a chutney tray, very good. Main course I ordered the Pavilion special with Chicken, and my wife had the Bangalore Lamb dish. When my dish came it was mostly large chunks of onion, with 3 pieces of chicken. My wife's dish had overcooked Lamb, with frozen slices of banana. We complained, I carried on with my dish, my wife's meal was taken away then brought back still with frozen slices of banana, but know with Chicken in with the Lamb. Also the Peshawar bread was dripping in Syrup.Spoilt our meal completely, no charge for the mains, paid for everything else. Left hungry. This place supposedly won an award.!!??

Booked an early table for two on Saturday 15th March 2025. Arrived to find the pub heaving with drinkers and diners. We were shown to a quiet table where, despite the huge number of customers present, the service was second to none throughout our visit. The waitress began by talking us through the menu and very helpfully identifying anything that wasn't available. The food was fantastic and the staff never stopped working the whole time we were there. Will be going back and would highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant. Great food and service. Looking forward to returning.

Absolutely love this restaurant. It is the best Italian I have every had and I have been to lots of restaurants in Manchester . The decor and atmosphere is incredible and the value for money is amazing. Thank you to all staff for being so professional and polite. Well done Sorella. Top Class

My party of 8 all had a very tasty and hot meal last weekend although the staff were clearly struggling from dealing with the customer numbers. A nice varied menu served by a friendly team,

We have enjoyed several meals at Cafe Italia, all of which have been great. In fact, its consistency of both service and quality food is why its one of our 'go to' choices. This particular weekend, they also had a brilliant card magician entertaining diners, which was an excellent choice and easy to enjoy in between food (much better than singers, that we've seen in other restaurants - in our opinion). Its great place and we will be back

Ate on Sorrentos on Saturday evening with a friend, Really great food and excellent atmosphere. A lovely place to go out for dinner.
