Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Had a booking for 8 of us last night although we did have to wait a while the food definitely made up for it, Overall I would really recommend this restaurant to others the food was great and staff were polite! P.s bit stingy on the spuds lol!

Made a reservation for after the theatre matinee. Excellent food…hot and tasty. Staff were very pleasant and the restaurant was busy which is a good sign. Thank you for a lovely end to our afternoon.

The food and service was amazing, definitely going back

This was my first time and it didn’t disappoint. The food was really tasty and the value for money was great. Definitely book a table as they were pretty busy, which isn’t surprising.

Great location for the theatre and excellent start to our evening out. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food very tasty and delivered very promptly. Would recommend this restaurant.

Sensational food, top service, good atmosphere, tasty choice of beers, what more could you want. Great meal out with a group of friends.

Chakalaka is one of the best restaurants I've been to in Manchester! The atmosphere, service, food, and drinks were all outstanding. Their January deals made our meal ridiculously good value as well! When you walk in the whole place smells amazing and I love the fact it's totally independent. I had never tried South African food before but it was absolutely delish!

The food, service and vibe was great. Will come again

I had a fab dinner at Gio last Sunday 8 January for celebrating my wife's birthday with my little daughter. Customer service and food were both great. I was so impressed with the special decoration on our desert dish, which was served with a candle, to our surprise. Thank you the Gio team.

Very nice restaurant, good food, good vibes nice drinks

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my 2 children and my parents. Portion sizes are generous - there were multiple boxes of leftovers taken home! Whilst there is no specific children’s menu, smaller servings of dishes are available. Toilet facilities are downstairs and could do with some more attention - the door to one of the cubicles did not shut properly, the hand dryer was not working and the paper towel ran out. Service was slow to take our order, but quite attentive thereafter; the chap on the bar in the corner is quite on the ball. It’s been over 10 years since I last visited Giorgio’s and it it certainly pricier than I remember, or maybe that city centre dining these days.

Had a meal here on the 23rd December and although it was quite busy the food and service was excellent. Very friendly staff and Manager. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

Perfect food, lovely staff and affordable - what more could you want!

Been wanting to try this place for a while now. The wait was worth it. I’ve never had a curry like it. I definitely recommend it.

last Tuesday was our second visit, the food was very nice and the staff is very friendly. Perfect place for a pre-show dinner

Went last night (Sunday). We had a really lovely night, the atmosphere, food and Staff were terrific. The wine was also very good. We have been to Gio before and had booked there last night. However we were diverted to Giorgio’s their sister restaurant and offered Garlic bread or Wine for our inconvenience. Would definately go to both restaurants again.

Went here for a first date. Bit of a wait considering I'd booked a table, however the food has been a talking point ever since! Delicious and well presented, and perfectly located in the city centre. Would definitely have the steak there again!

One of our regular restaurants while we visit Manchester! Delicious food, very friendly service and great atmosphere - would visit this wonderful place again .....
