Reviews in Manchester

it was are first visit and we can say it was one of the best meals we have had for a long time. The service was very good and had time for you even though it was very busy, the prices are a bit expensive but we went for a birthday treat and after having the meal it was not a concern to us. We travelled from accrington and we will definitely be going back again...

I went to Don Marco for my 3 year anniversary and the experience left me disappointed. The food is average, lacking seasoning and didn't taste freshly prepared. The bruscetta was good but the pate tasted like is was made weeks ago, was far too rich and smelled like a wet dog. The calamari, prawn, whitebait, goujon starter included one prawn, far too much whitebait and brakes brother style calamari, a couple of slimy fish goujons and a salad swimming in olive oil. The main course of meatballs comprised of a plate of over cooked spaghetti, unseasoned meatballs and some pasata. It was really bad. We prebooked a table and were still asked to move after the starter to allow a table of six in with no apologies or compensation. I ran a bar / restaurant for a few years and certainly would've comp'ed the drinks (2 diet cokes (which I almost had to beg to get) and a spritzer). The staff were unattentive and left empty glasses on the table when putting fresh drinks down and avoided eye contact. We had to ask for parmesan and black pepper for the main. It didn't feel like the homely relaxed Italian you expect with good food and a warm atmosphere, it was just poor from start to finish. The manager fussed around and wouldn't leave you alone to the point where he could've done with being sedated. Go to Dimitris next door....

It was my 14 year old son who suggested this restaurant and am rather glad he did. The inside was very inviting, with an open contemporary feel. The service was good, as we tend to take a while over our order, Hasan - the manager, to our starter order and took our main meal order a few minutes later. The food was excellent...our kids, 14 and 6, really enjoyed their food, with my son choosing the best meal with Chicken Tikka Shahee, spiced minced lamb wrapped in chicken tikka...gorgeous! Menu has all the favourites however the specials drew in my tastebuds!!! These specials are also included in the Mon-Thurs offer....unlike some othr places in Farnworth. Hasan was eager to please and more than happy to take on board any advice to make Indigo more inviting. I'd definately advise anyone I know to give Indigo a try....even if it's just a take out or delivery. I'd like to wish Good Luck to Hasan and all his staff on their new restaurant....well done!!!

fantastico the food is out of this world ,its the best in manchester you feel like you are in spain .and a lot of stars use it .try it you will go back, i promise ,if you close your eyes you would believe you are in spain, the atmosphere is 10/10 .very good raffael, you have worked hard ..and you deserve credit where its due .bueno suerte,

Looks nothing from the outside- but the food was absolutely delicious and very different from other food I had eaten before. Very simple setting, relaxed atmosphere. I also enjoyed being able to take my own wine with me to drink.

First class fish and chips and loads more ? Also very friendly. Would recommend to everyone.

Lovely restaurant, wonderful service and delicious, authentic food.

They have pictures of Manchester united on the wall,the atmosphere for a Tuesday night was great,it cost 60 quid for2 ,minestrone,pasta and a bottle of wine.They have loads of waiters.

We just had takeaway chicken kebabs from Turkish delight and I must say i was surprised when we ordered the turkish naan bread (instead of pitta) which is an extra 30p and saw it come out of a packet and thrown on top of our meat on the grill. The Kebab was NOT tasty, the chicken was watery, bread dry and i've had much better kebabs elsewhere, where you get fresh naan and it's cheaper than Turkish Delight too!

This is the email I sent to Bistro West 156 last week: Hello, Just a quick email to say how great your food was last night. I had the squash and chorizo soup, steak on a bed of saute potatoes and sticky toffee pudding. The soup was possibly the best I've ever had. The steak was delicious 'again with chorizos' which combined with the salad beautifully. The desert was extremely sweet and rich, but was toned down really well with the ice cream. Delicious food, friendly service (not the fastest but excellence takes time), and reasonably priced. Keep up the great work! I'll definitely be coming again. Thanks again, Tom Ps. You have my vote for Ramsey's next Best Local Restaurant.

This restaurant is amazing, after hearing some many good things about this place I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed, the food and atmosphere was great and the wide selection of drinks left me a little tipsy ha!!!! You must give this little gem a try for yourself!!!!

Had a great meal at il Toro last night... we had the Sunday night offer.. two courses for £12.95... was delicious, and excellent portion size. Nice efficient, pleasant staff... Will definitely return.

They do a really substantial and gorgeous veggie breakfast, making the effort to have veggie black pudding. Full English breakfast was fab with additional, triumphal potato cake. Service lovely. Would definitely come again.

Went last night for a family meal. It's changed quite a bit since I last dined their. Excellent value £150 for 6 of us including 3 courses wine and drinks, nice ambience. The starters were good if just a little small. The mains were excellent good sized portions, the steaks were enjoyed by all and the pork belly nice and moist. A nice selection of desserts. Would definitely recommend to others. And look forward to going again over the summer months.

Needs more improvement, long wait and small portions.

Ate here on Saturday evening. Turned up at 6.50 without a reservation. They were fully booked but we explained we only wanted a main and would be out by 7.30. The manager was really helpful and fitted us in. The staff were attentive and the food was excellent; the fillet steak being exceptional and it was not pricey at all.The only draw back was the hike to the loo upstairs! Will definitely return.

We keep on going back to the best Italian in the Manchester area. No point in going to any other Italian when we have this gem on our doorstep.

Great place to dine for choice of food, friendliness as a couple, or as a group. Lovely surroundings and plenty parking.
