Very poor service over the phone. unfriendly tone, i called on Friday afternoon to reserve a table she said they fully booked, however we walked past at 7ish it was more or less empty so we walked in and got a table when we asked the waiter who took our drink order why couldn't they reserve a table earlier he were more confused then we were! We've a lady's night out ones a week or fortnight, this place has been our new spot since its open. We realise they've new staff and the two younger waiter has left, the atmosphere isn't the same and just didn't feel welcomed from the moment we walked in specially after the phone call. its a shame what has happen to this place, we've been very supportive and told alot of our friends and family but as we made it clear and told the waitress we wont be back because we had bad experience she didn't look like she care, bad attitude very disappointing.

We visited here again on Saturday night after returning from our holiday and been there few time with friends and family since it's open and it has been our favourite new Italian restaurant. But Unfortunately its not the same, staff on front desk were not particularly warming, then she gave us a table by the rest room we asked if we could've different table she replied with unpleasant way they fully booked, when sadly the restaurant was half empty on Saturday night! we were quite shocked by the sudden changes this restaurant used be full and couldn't get a table easily On Friday or Saturday night unless you book weeks before. It used to be one of the best in Manchester, they'd best quality food friendly staff who deliver best service from walk-in to walk-out and best atmosphere through the night. Then we ordered drinks was served by an older waiter who we know from before he wasn't quite happy with things over all himself or looked under pressure but looked like he was just doing his job, then we ordered starter it was good as usual, but we'd to wait 40minute for main course and when it arrived on our table it was so cold it never felt liked freshly cooked, however we made a complain then they took the food to warm up, it took another 15minute!!the service was awful the food made it worse!! The whole event was nightmare, I'm afraid we won't be back anytime soon and will spread the most regrettable night around to friends and family. I hope a quick fix up over all best of luck.

Fantastic night Great food and very friendly helpful staff Can recomend the beef tarte but to be fair everything our party had was good, i did have to taste it all starters and main courses If you are ever in Sale you need to go here

A really beautiful place. Friendly staff great food and great service am here every Friday night when am in Manchester

Fantastic food and lovely staff. Went for my second visit last week and would definately recommend, will be back.

Glad to hear that it wasn't just us Pat Morris, my original review also seems to have conveniently dissappeared! Still no response to our complaint from anyone at the restaurant, I give this place a year or two maximum before its closed. They obviously don't care about their customers.

Brilliant ambience, brilliant food. The place is really nice, the food is very good to outstanding. The live music night are fantastic! They seemed to have some teething problems, but we have become regulars.

We are here last night (4 adults and 7 year old granddaughter). The food and service were excellent. I had the spare ribs as a starter- they were the tastiest I've had and really big enough portion for a main course. .My wife had the. Fish baked in salt which was superb. Pizzas were also very good. Good choice of wine at reasonable price.A very enjoyable evening with complimentary limoncello to finish. We will definitely return

Went for early dinner last Thursday. Venue is very nice and an improvement on Mimis. Service was excellent and very attentive. Food was a disappointment being heavily over-salted, which spoiled the overall experience.

After Andrew Whambys comments I decided not to take my grandsons aged 8 and 3 and their parents to Borello for the 8yr old birthday treat. But I thought 7 adults we would be fine!!! The older waiter you talked about was obnoxious to the point of rudeness, he did not listen he got our orders wrong. It was not a pleasant evening

Excellent food, good atmosphere (far more intimate and friendly than Vao), fantastic choice - especially fish dishes - service a bit slow but we did turn up unbooked on a Friday night. Used to love this place when it was Mimi, pleasantly surprised now it's changed hands. Will definitely be going again.

We went to eat yesterday, friday 5th, and the food was tasteful and fresh. We will come back soon. Hasta pronto. Gracias!!!!!!

Not justifying them closing down and not advising Avis, but apparently there were a few major issues which lead to the owners deciding to shut down and sort out before reopening. Went to the 'Live Music' night just after they had reopened and it was a brilliant night - the place was buzzing and what's more the food was outstanding. They even adapted a dish specially for my husband who is the fussiest eater this side of the equator!

I know the restaurant is new but I feel that I have to share my experience of the visit as I and others In the party were slightly disappointed. I'll start with the booking, my fiancé booked a table for 12 around two weeks in advance for Saturday the 16th of January. In the lead up to the visit she received one phone call to change the time of the booking from 6:30 to 7:00 which we agreed on, then another two phone calls to confirm the booking for 6:30 where we had to explain that it had already been changed to 7:00. On arrival at the restaurant it was not busy so we were unsure as to why we had been asked to change the booking time. Whilst we were sat down with my young neice and two 4 year old nephews an older waiter with a very strong accent (out of the two waiters there) came over to the table and told my two nephews to be quiet in a very rude manner. I would accept this if they were being excessively noisy or running around but they were just talking to each other?? I have seen very badly behaved children before but the noise level of my two nephews certainly did not warrant a telling off. The same older waiter of the two brought over three garlic breads and three bowls of olives but we had only ordered one of each. As we were a large table we assumed that these were complimentary. The food was excellent and very well presented. The service from the younger waiter who originally greeted us and took our order was also excellent. Whilst eating our meal the same older water walked past my brother in law with steak knives pointing out of his hand and accidentally stabbed my brother in law in the shoulder. This left a cut to his left shoulder but he did not make a fuss as it was my 30th. The older waiter asked if we would like desert and after only half of the table saying no he proceeded to take all of the desert menus off everyone.... The children were also not offered any ice cream which should have been included with their meal from the kids menu. At the end of the meal everybody went through the menu and worked out how much each of their meal was. We all contributed cash (apart from one card payment) and included a very generous tip. When the money was counted the bill was still short by a large amount. The total bill was around £219 Not wanting to make a fuss on my 30th everybody added the extra amount that was outstanding but this was also in addition to them leaving a generous tip. The older waiter was dealing with the bill and took the receipt away from us so we had no way to check afterwards if we had been overcharged. Even if there was a 10%service charge we still felt that the bill was higher than it should have been. The food was excellent but we left feeling disappointed with the experience and also felling slightly robbed. We tried not to let it overshadow my 30th but on the experience alone I don't think we will be returning or recommending.

I booked this restaurant before Christmas for 4 people on 27/12. I gave my contact phone number. We turned up at 7.30 as arranged only to find the restaurant had closed down again but hadn't had the decency to tell us we would have to go somewhere else. Feeling annoyed and let down as well as embarrased we went into Socrates and received their usual welcome and ate fantastic food. The notice on the door of El Boliche read as if it would re-open in the new year but we will never be persuaded to go there again.

I love this restaurant ,food is so fresh.

Lovely restaurant excellent food will be going again very soon.
