Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I went to celebrate my solo birthday in this restaurant and let me tell you something. I’m definitely coming back. The food was exquisite and the staff were super friendly. It was quiet when I went yesterday so it gave me like a peaceful and intimate vibe. There’s also a nice garden. The decoration is very colourful. Price it’s not bad in fact is affordable.

We had a delicious meal, great value midweek. We loved the atmosphere and the friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal, we were running late and were already booked in nearly last orders, but the staff were very accommodating. Lovely food and nice wine. Would definitely return.

We visited Gio's on 18/08/23 and were greeted with a warm welcome. From the ambience of the restaurant to the attentiveness of the staff and delicious food and generous meal portions, this restaurant and friendly service was the perfect romantic venue for our second date. We'll definitely be back!

Lovely little place.Had a lamb curry and a jackfruit curry plus a side of fries all very very tasty.Only gripe was £3.50 for a can of cream soda and £3.50 for a can of shandy tad overpriced there apart from that small thing would definitely go again and recommend to others.

Prompt friendly service. Food was tasty . Drinks well priced in the happy hour

This place is INCREDIBLE! Me and my mom love Italian so thought we’d give this place a go as the reviews looked good and WOW! The best Italian food I’ve ever had. I had the brunette and then knocci and my mom had the prawn cocktail and then chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce. The staff were extremely friendly and authentically Italian which made the atmosphere even better. There’s an option for a pre-theatre meal which is 2 courses for £23 which is great value! Gladly we booked because even at 6pm it was absolutely rammed in there! The glass of wine was a little bit more expensive than I anticipated, however city prices and city prices! All in all, highly recommend this place!!!

Excellent authentic food. Great service and value for money. I highly recommend this great restaurant!

Delicious food. Great for vegetarians. Thank you!

Lovely meal, good service.

I was quite disappointed with this meal. The food was ok but the service wasn’t great. The beer was very expensive and was not cold. I won’t be returning as there are so many options in this area.

Had the most amazing time here staff were amazing food was so delicious would definitely recommend anyone to go if they like Italian food. I will be going back again soon.

Staff and food are excellent. We went for a birthday meal this weekend and the staff could not have done more for us. Highly recommend. Vegan/vegetarian food outlined clearly in the menu, including the rice and naans which is rare and very much appreciated!

Excellent service, Food absolutely beautiful, Price brilliant will definitely be going back and highly recommended thank you

You are joking, aren’t you, to invite a Review?! I arrived with an elderly friend for a 6.00 table prior to going onto a concert at 7.30. The place was completely full, nowhere to be seated. The Manager/Owner (?) said it had been a terrible day but they were short staffed. We were assured we would get a table and be served in time. We waited for a table till 6.30. We made to leave but were persuaded to stay. No one could pay because clearly digital bills were not working. At one point the desk had about 10 people queuing to pay with bills being totted up on a calculator. Just paying for a meal was taking up yo 10 minutes or more. Even had we had any food, waiting to pay would have made us late. Finally we were seated at about 6.40, and again assured we would get a meal. We ordered what we were advised would be the quickest items on the menu. Still people waiting for meals had no meal. I asked for some water; this never came. There were 2 waiters; the older one clearly stressed; the young one keeping calm and very polite. We waited until past 7.00. No food, no water, and the final piece de theatre was when the chef(probably not the actual chef) reacted to two plates being returned because they had been presented prior to starters, by throwing one at the older waiter, who promptly walked out of the restaurant. We decided it was also time to beat a retreat. Later, at the concert, we recognised folk who had been waiting for meals; they arrived late, unsurprisingly. The young waiter deserved a medal! This would be the last place I would ever choose to eat in Manchester again. In any event, too many tables are crammed in, only the pre-theatre menu was on offer( with only two poor choices for a vegetarian). A suggestion: when things started to get chaotic and unable to manage, why on earth did someone not start to phone those with booked tables, apologise and say they were unable to honour the booking? Absolutely appalling spectacle.

Party of 7 unanimously agreed best Indian food we've had in a long time. Great choices to meet different dietary requirements.

I’ve eaten here many times before but never experienced anything like this. Got there at 5.15 for a 5.30 booking. Lovely, very relaxed and waiters very attentive, drinks order taken and delivered very promptly, food orders taken , which were very simple, pre theatre menu and we both had Pate Della Casa and ordered Pollo alla Crema and Salmon Marina for our main course. Starters arrived at about 6.00 and from 6.20 we waited for the main courses to arrive. After speaking to the waiters, many times, who were rushed off their feet, our main courses never arrived!!! Shame. At 6.55 we cancelled our meal as we needed to get to the theatre. There was an enormous queue to pay with quite an antiquated system for paying They need to update their systems and be more efficient in paying methods. There wa salways quite an hullabaloo went on in the kitchen and foul language could be heard and the throwing of plates. Otherwise I’ve always been a great fan - but may think twice after this experience.

We had an booking at 5.45pm and we're told to wait at the bar. 20 minutes later we were given a table between two others. Both the others had their order taken but we had to ask why we hadn't. Eventually got our meal which was not satisfactory. All very tense as we were going to concert at Bridgewater Hall. Had to queue to pay for a long time along with most of the rest of the customers as most were going to the concert. We arrived with two minutes to spare. Very unsatisfactory and spoilt what should have been a relaxing evening
