Reviews in Manchester City Centre

A lovely mealin a lovely setting. The food and service were both excellent and the pre-theatre meal was good value for money. I would highly recommend.

Went with my partner for our date night, it was lovely, good atmosphere, attentive staff very pleasant and welcoming, delicious food, will definitely be returning.

Having been a couple of times previously we had fairly high hopes, but alas, it was OK. It wasn’t terrible and it certainly wasn’t great! It felt rushed and certainly wasn’t great value as shrinkflation seems to be occurring. For contrast we had a very similar but more substantial meal in Preston 2 days prior ( no Special Offers) for almost exactly half the price. Would we return? I’m not totally ruling it out but it certainly put a damper on our evening out and we would definitely look elsewhere first. If we were going for a pre-concert meal I would definitely walk past and go straight to the Bridgewater.

We booked online an hour before we arrived. The service was first class and the meal was fantastic.

Had a quick meal with my partner here after reading favourable reviews and my god was it worth it!! Seated within seconds, waiter and waitress were attentive but not intrusive, smiles all round and then the food..... Absolutely amazing!! Loved the blend of spices, the clearly cooked meat before it was added to the curries and it has such a relaxed atmosphere. Price was astonishingly low in consideration of the restaurant and food quality! Highly recommended!!

Really enjoyed our meal there last Thursday night. The food was great and the portions were big. The staff were great too.

Nice staff, and good food.

We had a lovely meal here on a Tuesday night before going to a concert nearby. Great food, good service, friendly staff. We will be back for a full night of food & drinks.

I had wanted to visit Gio for a while and it didn’t disappoint! Wonderfully helpful staff, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. My Mum would especially recommend the apple pie!

What an amazing place and the food was unbelievable. So much taste and a great find if you want great atmosphere and food

Excellent food and service A small problem, a side order of potatoes was served cold but when this was brought to the attention of our waiter he resolved the issue Another thing, we were offered an Italian liquor, I thought it was complimentary, it wasn’t My fault

Fantastic meal all round. Lovely friendly staff. Hopefully will be back next time we are in Manchester. Many thanks to all the staff for making the evening great.

I've been twice before and it was nice. But on this third visit, things went really wrong. The starters arrived, but then the whole restaurant ground to a halt. We waited one hour for the mains to arrive. They didn't. We, along with many other tables, gave up and left. I will still come again as I like the place. But if there is a big concert on at the BWH, I think management need to plan ahead and either staff accordingly, or limit the number of covers. Having been a waiter myself for many years, I felt very sorry for the waiting staff simply unable to cope. I imagine the kitchen was a similarly unhappy place.

Lovely cocktails ! Maybe fish options could be considered?

This is my sister’s favourite restaurant and what can I say, the girl has taste. Honestly some of the best food I’ve ever had and the staff are super friendly and good at what they do. The garlic bread is as big as a regular pizza and the pollo Al formaggio was to die for. End on profiteroles and thank me later. So good I spent two days in Manchester and ate here on both of them.

We had a lovely meal here on a Saturday night before going to a gig at the Ritz nearby. Great food, wonderful service, delightful staff, great decor and atmosphere - highly recommended and we will be back!

Arnero always delivers really nice food with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Excellent food.

Was shown to a table but was quite a while to be served. Only two people seemed to be waiting on customers in the restaurant at the time. Ordered drinks and food and had to ask for my starter of olives 3 times. Food was ok but felt sorry for the staff (or lack of) trying to cope.
