Reviews in Manchester

We were very impressed with the fat loaf. The food was extremely good and the service fantastic. We will definitely return.

Busy, vibrant and the food is value for money

Very nice food and friendly staff.

We had a beautiful meal at Mario’s on Friday evening. We ordered garlic prawns, sirloin steak and lamb shank. Everything was delicious. Even the olives were amazing. Mario was the perfect host. Will definitely return soon!

I had booked a table for 2 at 6pm on the 12th but my booking was not showing on the system. I couldn't find the confirmation email at the time as it was in my junk box so we were turned away at first, but then I looked on the website at bookings and could see there was still availability for 2 at 6pm so the squeezed us in. There must have been an issue with the booking system for that time. So giving service a 3 for that reason but everything else was fantastic.

Staff weee wonderfully attentive. Providing quick and helpful service along with having a bit of fun. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Had the 3 course set menu and portion sizes were great and value for money. Would definitely go back again when I return to Manchester.

Food perfect, ambience spot on, service impeccable and friendly. So lucky to have this gem on our doorstep

Staff and Mario very friendly and helpful. Food is really good. Congratulations to kitchen staff . Lovely atmosphere.

For the starters alone I’d have given 5/5 unfortunately everything else dropped it to 2/5 What started of as great service booked 7pm asked to change to 6pm and very accommodating. At 6 we were seated waited for menus ordered drinks and food (5 starters 5 mains). Starters arrived promptly and were first class. Unfortunately down hill from there. When the mains arrived 2 of the portions were a fraction of the size of the others (these being pasta dishes) also missing the chilli asked for they were also barely warm. We had no return visit by a server to offer parmesan or any other accompaniment or ask if we were happy. The only reason comment was not made at the time was to not embarrass family members. It was noted that for a party of 5 the service was poor but an adjacent table of 2 seemed to receive much better service accompaniments and all. Such a shame after such a promising start. Sorry to say we won’t be returning.

Went to Gio’s on Friday with my mum and friends for the three course lunch with Wowcher vouchers. The staff were lovely and very attentive. The food was amazing and good choices available from the Wowcher menu. The restaurant is beautiful with a good atmosphere. The owner was lovely and was chatting to us. We all really enjoyed it and will definitely return.

As a South African, it was good to enjoy some home delights. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a great vibe. The malva pudding tasted of home and was the best way to end the night

Amazing food and cosy atmosphere

Really lovely staff and great food. Will be back!

Booked last minute before a show and were so glad we got in. Great atmosphere as was show night. I only had a pizza, it was cooked to perfection, lightly fire and was amazing. They gave us a set menu without asking, if you just ask to swap as we only wanted 1 course. They only complaint I have was the £12 for a glass of rose, that just doesn't sit right with me, I even called to check we hadn't been charged for a bottle!!!

Booked for a 30th meal for a friend and so glad we chose here it was a Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, the staff were very polite and helpful, I can’t recommend enough, I will definitely be back.

Staff were friendly .. food was ok , the order was completely wrong

This is our third time to visit this restaurant. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. However, the only disappointment is the cold temperature inside. Previously we had a table at the back of the restaurant and ended up eating with our coats and scarves on. On this occasion we asked for a table at the front of the building but each time the front door opened, in came the cold! Please can the restaurant sort out their heating because it's such a shame that this alone would make us hesitate going back there until the weather gets warmer. Also thought the cost of a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc at £24.95 was a little expensive as it wasn't a superior wine.

The best meal out! Great atmosphere, food and service. Definitely going back!
