If you think you have eaten Italian food in the UK before, think again. This is the real deal and it is so tasty. No spaghetti bolognese or lasagne, this is proper Italian food and worth travelling for!!

Just the most wonderful restaurant. It starts with a fantastic welcome and continues with the most delicious food. We have visited many times and will continue to do so!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

As usual this wonderful restaurant served us a lovely meal last night. Despite concerns over Covid we felt very safe as it is always spotlessly clean, staff are very friendly, pay attention to safety and tables are well spaced. The extensive and very authentic menu offers incredibly good value and the quality of the food is always extremely high. We always feel we are in a lovely Italian trattoria . We’ll be returning as soon as we can. Definitely recommend.

We love Ciao. It never fails to live up to expectations. The staff are lovely. So welcoming and friendly and the food is great, at very reasonable prices. Staff are willing to adapt the menu to suit our likes. We did not have young children with us on this occasion, but have previously and the staff went out of their way to to make our visit comfortable. Highly recommend

Delicious food and wonderful service. The staff were so kind and engaging with our grandchildren- we will definitely be back.

Ate there at 4.30 on Friday with family, who were really impressed. The red mullet starter and lobster pasta were fantastic as was everyone’s food. Best restaurant around here, hope they can open up the top floor so that it is easier to get in at peak times. Steve Harris

Had a great evening on Saturday despite having to wait 45mins for our table in a very cramped doorway. The food was lovely and staff very friendly. Maybe there’s a problem with the booking system or they could do with a nice lounge to sit and have a drink

the food here is 5* bets itallisn i’ve ever had. the fish (all types) tasted so fresh and tender. focaccia cooked to perfection. pasta was perfect. can not rate enough. atmosphere and staff also fantastic, very relaxed and welcoming. staff couldn’t do enough for you. can’t wait to go back.

Visited the restaurant at 8.00pm Saturday 11th December, had booked a table for 4 persons. Restaurant extremely busy, allocated table was fit for two people and to small for four. It was so close to the next table that one of our guests had to move regularly to allow access. The food was overly expensive. Not a good dining experience.

Great service,great food ,lovely evening out 5+
