Reviews in Manchester

Restaurant was half empty but still waited over an hour for our food. You ask the staff 3 times for a high chair & they ‘forget’ 3 times. The place is like faulty towers. There’s a reason you can get a last minute table on a weekend, it’s somewhere to avoid!

Wonderful authentic italian restaurant. Very attentive staff, wonderful service and amazing food. Would highly recommend

We’d heard a lot of good things about this place and we weren’t disappointed. Friendly , attentive and helpful service (table water without having to ask for it is always a good sign) in a cosy and bustling atmosphere. The food is superb, and a notch up from usual Italian fare, with Sicilian specialities prepared with care and attention to detail. We can especially recommend the shared platter of small tarts for dessert -absolutely delicious. Prices are a bit above the Italian average, but you get what you pay for and it’s great value.

Great food, excellent service - What more do you need! We will be back!!!

Another brilliant meal. Lunch this time, and enjoyed by all. Great food of the highest standards warm atmosphere. Attentive service and good value given the quality of the ingredients. See you again next week!

We had a wonderful meal for my wife’s birthday recently and could not ask for more; the Sicilian food is truly excellent and the staff are lovely. One of our go-to restaurants.

Fourth visit - this time for a birthday celebration. Warm, attentive service. Lovely tasty food with local seasonal ingredients plus all the genuine Sicilian specials. A great treat!

As always, great food and service at Crowded house, looking forward to our next visit on Christmas eve.

An amazing restaurant! This is the 4th time we’ve been and we were made to feel very welcome by the whole team. Although the restaurant was nearly full, the friendly service was efficient and seamless. We decided that every time we are at the restaurant, we choose something different from the menu, and again, on this occasion, we were not disappointed …….. the food is second to none; you can feel the passion that goes into it. Thank you to the Chef and team, and Nicky and the team for making it a very special experience!

Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff, first visit and definitely not my last. We enjoyed a selection of tapas, portion sizes and quality of food was outstanding, especially the baked Camembert!! DELICIOUS. Thanks for a great festive lunch with friends

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The soup and steak was lovely and the wine was very nice too! Had a great afternoon.

Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend if either going to the theatre or a nice place to enjoy a celebration. We chose from the pre theatre menu and was very happy with the food we had. Good quality lovely food and lovely friendly efficient staff.

My fiance and I ate here on Saturday night and we were not dossapointed. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was just sublime. Simple delicious food and fantastic wine. What more could you want! The staff were attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be returning!!

Went last night Saturday, food was brill , service was excellent, prices was very reasonable in my opinion, will definitely be visiting again .

Absolutely amazing and unique food. Second time here and on both occasions just outstanding. Reasonably priced too.

As always, wonderful Sicilian food served with efficiency and attentiveness. We had a meat-based focus this visit - the pork cheek antipasto was so tender and flavoursome. I had a veal chop and my companion had the lamb chops. Great portions which we did not finish so as to leave room for the dolce (the staff were happy to provide 'doggy bags' so we could take them home and chew on in the privacy of home, growling like dogs, which would be undignified in public). We always make sure to leave room for the wonderful selection of dolce. This has to be one of the best restaurants in Greater Manchester, IMHO.

Beautiful food. Great service. Will definitely be visiting again! Great spot for a comforting Italian experience. Would recommend!

Super staff attentive & friendly. Great food. Generous portions and the best lemon meringue pie ever! Good pricing with lots of choice on a fixed price menu.
