Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Lovely restaurant - cosy, authentic atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Food was great, an excellent pre-theatre choice.

Enjoyed an excellent meal with friends at Gio after attending a matinee performance at the theatre. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. The food is excellent and value for money - we dined from the pre-theatre set menu and felt that there was a variety of food to make good choices from. High recommended.

Excellent food and the service is top tier. Truly recommend for a fun date or a meal with friends.

Food was delicious. Staff were so lovely. Vibes were immaculate!

As an expat from South Africa now living in the UK I was really craving pap and wors!!! - Maize porridge with sausage - It did not disappoint - neither did the samosa starter or Malva pudding - such a great go to spot now for me!!!! will be trying other items on the menu at the next visit! Thanks so much for the nostalgic lunch and the great service sorry I didn't get the staffs name but they were all great!!

Fancied something different to eat one Sunday and wow did we get this! We all tried something different and we were all impressed, every one of us had food envy. I had the lamb curry which was medium in spice and the Lamb really tender. The staff were really smiley and attentive, and we loved the bright friendly decor. Definitely going back to try more things off the menu. Also for anyone going with kids, ours loved the hotdogs and chips but the portions were massive, the adults were quick to help out!

Everything was really tasty and amazing .The staff were really friendly ,planning on going back again to try other things ,definitely recommend it.

Had the pre theatre meal, excellent food and service, going to book again.

Food was delicious, and atmosphere was lovely. Definitely coming back to try more food.

Great food, great service. Highly recommend it. Will be back again!!

This is the BEST restaurant I have ever been too!! The food is exceptional and so is the service. The staff were so attentive, the food was well presented and tasted amazing!! The Panzerotti Emiliana is incredible - it is to die for!! The sticky toffee pudding & the lemon meringue pie is also incredible!! Honestly couldn’t recommend more and I will definitely be back!!

Thursday March 2nd meal. Food superb. Service fantastic. Will book again later for March 23rd. The meal was lovely for both of us. We Really like coming here and will be glad to return soon.

Here they have pre theatre food down to a fine art. The staff are pleasant and very efficient as they know most people are on a time restriction. The menu is varied and the food is delicious. All together a really good experience. We have done it before and will certainly do it again pre theatre.

Booked a meal for 5pm had a lovely reception when we got there The meal was fantastic a lovely bottle of wine . They looked after my husband & myself Really well would definitely go again .

Arrived and staff seemed unprepared and didn’t have a table for our booking even though there were loads of empty tables, manager wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed rude to the wait stuff, bar staff was lovely! Food was delicious and really lovely place, shame we didn’t feel welcome, no one checked back on us so didn’t have the opportunity to order more drinks, felt forgotten about!

Very personal service Good food And famiky social
