This was mine and my friend’s first visit to Rio where we received a very warm and extremely friendly welcome. We we seated promptly with the menu and wine list presented to us immediately. The menu is very extensive and offers a wide variety, with something for everyone. We ordered our first and mains which were both wa served promptly. The food which consisted of bruschetta, seafood linguine and sea bass was presented very well and absolutely delicious. The wine which was Vino Verde was equally as good. Such a warm and relaxing experience. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and will definitely revisit when I next visit Manchester. Want to say a special thank you to Andrea who was very helpful, friendly, informative and made us feel very welcome.

Thank you so much for a fabulous meal and exceptional service all the staff were very friendly and made mine and friends day amazing .We will definitely back again

We dined here yesterday and had the pre theatre menu. The staff are very friendly and efficient and we were served promptly which is important for a pre theatre meal . Although it was a set menu, unlike some other places, the portions were generous. Both garlic mushrooms and caprese salad were delicious and the garlic bread was lovely and crispy. Both main meals were good and the lasagne was enormous. The drinks were expensive so we decided to have a second drink across the road which is a shame because had they been reasonably priced, we would have had more. All in all, a lovely place and we will return.

5 star

We're a group of 5 friends who had a pre-theatre lunch yesterday. The staff, service and food were wonderful and the portions were very generous. We'd certainly go there again.
