Reviews in Manchester City Centre

We had the pre performance meal which was v. good. Very busy as the customers were all going to the performance but service was still quite acceptable as there were many waiters/ waitresses. Not cheap but good value for money. Would go again.

Not been to Gio's since pre lockdown. Not much is different. Still mad busy, still lovely food, still great service! All good!

I know Giorgio's a long time as we used to eat there with the whole family when visiting Manchester each year. This was my first time back in years from Ireland and I have to be honest and say, it will be a long time before I go back again. Lovely food but atmosphere, setting and the way everything was just so rushed plus the fact we were sat next to extremely drunk people, but I’m afraid for me Giorgio’s, we won’t be back, sad to say as we had many happy memories. The personal touch is gone

Great service and great tasting food, I’d definitely recommend Chakalaka and will return again to try more dishes. Relaxed atmosphere and chilled music, fab place.

Brilliant little place to eat, great service and great food. Can't beat it.

Good good and drinks at reasonable prices.. friendly staff too

A place to be!

First and last visit. Pre theatre meal. The seating was comfortable. The food was rather poor. Inedible tinned mushrooms and frozen prawns, tasteless cheese and tomato starters. Vegetables on main meal were soggy and well overcooked and in very short supply. Bolognese was bland and the pizza bases were not cooked in the middle. Disappointing. Hygiene-wise one of our party told the staff that there was no soap in the washroom despite the fact there was a large poster telling you wash your hands and explaining how to do this with diagrams. I visited the washroom 30 minutes later and still no soap! Rather poor and very unhygienic.

Beautiful food, great venue, and really lovely staff

AMAZING FOOD GOOD QUALITY LOVELY LADS (STAFF WAITERS) WOULD DEFFO RETURN HIDDEN GEM!!!!

Excellent, Just what we were looking for

This was our first visit to the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. The restaurant decor is beautiful and the location is superb. If you have not been you definitely need to give this a try

Great for a pre theatre meal, quick and friendly service, great personalised effort with mum who has mobility issues. Food, especially garlic bread. lovely

Visited on a Sunday, lovely atmosphere, delicious food & great customer service

I was really looking forward to this restaurant as a colleague who lives in Manchester recommended it, we were up for the Manchester Marathon this Sunday and were looking froward to a good meal after the race. It probably started ominously when we made the booking initially for 6pm and I emailed to inquire if we could change it to 7pm in case we were delayed from the marathon, no response, so this is usually a bad sign regarding customer service. We ordered two Ukrainian beers to begin with, mine was fine by my friend's had some black pieces floating in the glass. When we brought this to the attention of the waiter, he could see this problem but brought my friend a completely different coloured beer, but insisted that it was the "same beer", we didn't want to be rude and argue the toss with him, my friend got about half way through it then didn't drink the rest. At the end, we asked that this be removed from the bill as this wasn't the beer we had ordered (and the original beer was in a contaminated glass), yet it still appeared on the bill. Because restaurants have had a difficult time with Covid and the impending cost of living crisis, we decided we'd let it slide, but the waiter just blatantly ignored our request. The attitude of both people who served us was surly and unpleasant. We ordered the Armenian "meat banquet" for two, it said it was a mixture of hot and cold starters and a "chef's special" kebab. It all came at once, which we weren't aware of, we thought it was all part of the "starter". The food itself was of good quality, but a complete rip-off - extremely small portions, we were given one piece of bread between two of us, when we asked for another piece of bread we were charged extra. The entire meal came to almost £100 for two of us (we had two beers each, the meal and three additional sides), including service. I live in London but this was extremely expensive for small portions and poor service. When my coat fell off the back of my chair for a second time, the waiter quipped he'd "have to charge me" if it happened again, he was joking, of course, but overall that was the sort of tone of the evening, we both felt ripped off. This restaurant probably does quite good quality Armenian food, but the price, portion size and poor quality service make it one to avoid at all costs, Manchester has far better restaurants than this, it's very poor value for money.

Food was nice service was good. Probably on the expensive side. Unsure if that is the price for the location or not. 6 pound for a bottle of Peroni seems overpriced. The food was nice though and the service was good. Can’t complain if that’s the price that’s the price for the area.

We visited this place for a pre-show meal, the food was good and I would visit again, we were let down by staff not asking us if we wanted a supplementary drink and they were so busy- due to possibly the pre-show guests.
