“ It was my fellas birthday and he got a groupon for this place. 40 for 2 starters 2 mains and 2 drinks. When we arrived we realised that with the Groupon deal the starter and main course offerings were slim pickings so the food we had in mind (carbonara & ravioli) unfortunately weren’t available. Regardless of this the food we had ( bruschetta al pomodoro, frittata mista, lasagne and pollo porcini ) was well seasoned and enjoyable, and the staff were lovely, so no complaints here! ”
“ First time here and food was absolutely superb. 2 of us dining and between us had meatballs and king prawns to start which were both fantastic. Filler steak was absolutely perfect and diavolo pizza was definitely made wood fired and tasted amazing. Would definitely return. When booking we advised it was our wedding anniversary which was remembered on arrival and we had a balloon and shared desert with compliments We didn't order this but the spaghetti carbonara looked amazing it was mixed next to your table in a large wheel of Parmesan cheese that has just be heated with fire at your table. Looking and smelling amazing Will definitely recommend ”
“ Amazing restaurant. The service was really quick and the waiters are amazing. Tomos (also Welsh!) and Vinny were lovely. Vinny did very good for his first day so obviously trained well. I would recommend the pollo Milanese, a great portion and well worth the money. Thank you ”
“ I had an amazing experience at this Italian restaurant in Manchester. The calamari was incredibly crispy and flavorful, and both the risotto and pizza tasted so authentic and delicious – the best Italian dishes I’ve had in the city! I’d rate it as the top Italian spot in Manchester. Our server, Dana, made the evening even more enjoyable with her warm service and attention to detail, frequently checking if we were happy with our food. She truly made us feel valued. Highly recommend! ”
