My family and I regularly go to the Chinese Delight. Ben, manager and owner, runs a fantastic restaurant. I have always been a fan of Chinese food and have tried numerous Chinese restaurants in Manchester and the surrounding area but Chinese Delight is my favourite. The menu has a good variety including dishes that are unique to Chinese Delight. The food is wonderfully fresh and hot. My favourite dishes are fish based and these are cooked perfectly - especially the scallops and king prawns! Ben and his staff are a great laugh and very efficient. And an added bonus is that there is free parking. I would recommend Chinese Delight to anyone who enjoys good tasting fresh food.

My partner and I visited La Roma today for lunch and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch accompanied by a lovely bottle of Barbera. We were the first to arrive and were promptly greeted and seated at a table for two in a window alcove. By the time we left the place had become busier although it was not bustling and the clients were a mixture of couples and a group of friends enjoying the Christmas lunch menu. It was obvious that several of these patrons were regulars. The layout of the restaurant, a former pub, has been very well thought out with a light and airy main restaurant area, an intimate and cosy 'stübel', and a spacious bar area with comfortable seating with a theme of Italian racing cars and motorbikes with an actual Ducati in its midst. Our food was well presented, served in good time and absolutely delicious - my pizza rustica was one of the best I've ever tasted and my partner's ciabatta with roasted Mediterranean vegetables and mozarella (modified on request from goat's cheese) was equally enjoyable albeit it was initially served not hot enough for her liking - the waiter apologised and returned within a reasonable time with a completely fresh meal. It's not often these days to find Italian restaurants where the staff actually converse with each other in their native language which adds to both the authenticity and the ambience. The location may be a little off the beaten track with the river view marred by the electricity pylon cables stretching directly overhead but nonetheless we consider 'La Roma' to be a great find which we hope to frequent regularly.

la Roma has been the perfect place for both a quiet intimate meal but they are as good with larger groups. For the second year running all our neighbours go for a meal together and la Roma is without a doubt where everyone feels we get great food, great service and of course the best Tiramisu in the NORTH WEST!!!!!! Thanks to all the staff who stay friendly when we no doubt get a little rowdie towards the end of a long Italian feast!!!!

We strongly recommend a visit. Good homemade food at reasonable prices and looked after by a traditional landlady.

A nice surprise. Went on Friday a great selection of starters and mains. Cant understand why we haven't visited sooner. We'll definitely return.

hi i visited nam ploy last Saturday night,the surroundings,atmosphere was amazing.the food was the best Thai i have ever tasted,it was unbelievably fresh and tasty .i would only ever recommend nam ploy .the staff were really nice and efficient

Called for a meal last night. Our first visit since it changed hands. On entry we were ushered straight to our table without a chance to relax and have a drink at the bar whilst scanning the menu. When we received the menu the wine list was vary limited with no descriptions of any of the wines. That's the negatives over with. The staff were very friendly and polite and the food was prompt and delicious, My fillet steak was cooked just to my liking and the portions were just right,but the biggest surprise of the night was the bill. I have never had food and service of this quality for such a reasonable price. It looks like the new owners are a young couple trying to make a go of it. I wish them every success. Will I be going back? I've already booked!

Just enjoyed an absolutely fabulous meal at La Roma. Will be returning in the near future. Excellent food, service and ambiance. Reasonably priced, excellent friendly service and food to die for.

We used to go to La Roma when it was based at the King William in Bromley Cross and were very disappointed when Stefano had to move. We were delighted to find out recently where his new restaurant was and immediately booked for a meal. We were not disappointed. The food was even better than before, you are made welcome as soon as you enter the restaurant until you leave. We have a five year old daughter and she loves going to La Roma especially for the bread sticks and garlic bread with cheese. If you are an italian lover I would highly recommend La Roma for any occasion.

Sottovento has changed hands, but for the better! The menu is much better now. The staff can't do enough for you. There's no rush and the atmosphere is relaxed.

We went to Madisons for a friends birthday. It was possibly one of the worst meals I've ever eaten in a restaurant. The starters went straight from the freezer to the deep fat fryer, my main course salmon had been microwaved. mains were served with Aunt Bessies roast potatoes! The desserts were all from the freezer and doused in squirty canned cream. my children can cook better than that! And the staff treated it like a school canteen! The only saving grace was the singer who was the evenings entertainment. Shocking! never again.

La Roma is a relaxed Italian restaurant, the food is great & the service is always excellent (its our local as its within walking distance). If you like your food with a bit of a kick I would recommend the arrabiata. If you fancy something other than pizza or pasta, the Pollo Tricolore is really tasty. Its a lovely place to eat and enjoy before or after dinner drinks, with family, friends or for a romantic meal for two. Enjoy x

don't know whether I should do this as it could become too popular. Without question this place is one of the best restaurants in the country. Prices are unbelievable,food is superb, setting wonderful all it needs to give that finishing touch is proper napkins(I hate cheap paper ones)

We have tried Sottovento on a few occasions but heard that it was now under new management. We have visited Sottovento again and we were not disappointed, food was fantastic, service excellent and we would recommend to anyone. We will definitely be visiting again.

The venue was very welcoming, though the services was very bad and a staff member took my plate without me saying i was done, felt we where being rushed out. Then the lights kept going on and off, Very busy not suitable for a romantic meal,nor would i recommend it, Had to leave our table to pay the bill, The wine is over priced,

A very lovely restaurant. Good menu. Prices realistic. Very attentive staff - don't mither you if you're the last table standing - as we most usually are!! Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is lovely and the atmosphere relaxing and enjoyable. We go there regularly for girls' nights out, birthdays or just if we fancy a nice meal instead of a take away for a change! Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I decided to try Baci on a one off as my niece had recently got a job there. Whilst the staff were friendly and helpful and the food superb i found the actual service a little hap-hazard. We booked for eight but were not shown to our table until half past. The food, whilst lovely took longer than desired to arrive (approx 30 minutes for the starter and further 40 for the main) but as it was absolutely packed to the rafters it was perhaps understandable. However the main issues for me and my wife were the Italian waiters whom seemed rather brusque and rude, especially when me and wife declined any wine, however that may just be the Italian manner. Furthermore, and the main issue, was that after talking to my brother the following day about the restaurant he asked if we had tipped, which we had, I was then horrified to discover that my niece will have seen none of that tip and the owner and manager keeps them all for himself. Truly shocking I believe and makes me question that whilst the food was good whether I shall return to such an establishment.

i would recommend this restaurant for its high quality food and brilliant service.
