Reviews in Manchester City Centre

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.

When I am working in Manchester at the nearby theatre a between-show visit to Giorgio is a must - pretty much every day! A warm friendly welcome, great and attentive service and of course the most delicious food - this all makes for a special visit every time. Thank you!

Lovely pre theatre meal, the food was outstanding and service really good. Staff friendly and provided great recommendations. This was our first visit but it won't be our last! Thank you!

Having only 2 staff on duty for evening service to undertake service, respond to telephone takeaway orders & reservation requests, clear tables, take orders, serve food, respond to customer requests and take payment was extremely frustrating (had to wait 15 mins for drinks order to be taken and nearly 60mins to be served main courses), the staff were working their socks off and unfortunately receiving the brunt of customer frustrations where a matre-de or manager should have been on duty. wouldn’t rush back i’m afraid

It was a perfect occasion to entertain my student granddaughter. The food was the best Indian I have had in decades, the staff were attentive and the ambience is friendly and accommodating.

Met up with 9 schoolmates from Cape Town in the seventies and had a fabulous afternoon at Chakalaka on Saturday 14th October 2023. The service was swift, the drinks were flowing and the food was lekker! Thank you guys, what a pleasure. I'll be back
