SAN CARLO MANCHESTER REVIEWS

First visit to this with a client as part of a group. The seating was cramps for a group of 6. Ordered the food, and although the Pollo de Diavolo was tasty with a lovely spiciness, the chicken itself was tough. The staff were attentive and eager to bring more drinks, but I've certainly tasted better chicken in a Njuda sauce.

Our second server, Natasha was friendly and accommodating and really brightened the experience here. Food was quickly served and tasted amazing and my allergy (nuts) was taken seriously. Aside from a standoffish and borderline rude first server I would definitely come back again and recommend.

Outstanding food, it really was. The presentation, the taste, and the portions are all just perfect. Great atmosphere, even though it was busy, you could still hear yourself. A special mention goes to Bardhi who looked after us the whole night with excellent service.

PICCOLINO MANCHESTER REVIEWS

Came to piccolino after my daughter's graduation late afternoon. The staff were great, friendly and courteous. They made several options available to us when menu items were unavailable and adapted one of the orders to suit, which was nice. Complementary fizz for all the guests on the graduate experience which was also really nice. The food was lovely and good portions. We had a large round table and it was perfect for our group. Would recommend.

Terrific place, beautiful decor, wonderful food, amazing team! Family friendly atmosphere here, so helpful with the choices, excellent dining choices. I go into Manchester a couple of times a year but this is an essential visit for some top quality Italian cuisine! Five stars, heartily recommended.

Outstanding food, it really was. The presentation, the taste, and the portions are all just perfect. A great atmosphere, even though it was busy, you could still hear yourself.
