The best pasta in Manchester! The atmosphere was lovely, and I'm still thinking about the cheesy garlic bread. One of the members of our party was Coeliac, but all pasta dishes were available as gluten-free, so that was amazing.

Visited on a Saturday night with some friends and it was a busy restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The menu is huge. The food isn’t the best or worst I’ve ever had but the potions are huge, uncomfortably so to be honest. Between 4 of us we Are a had the sharing platter (for 2) and a garlic bread to start and we could probably have skipped the mains there was so much. However the service isn’t rushed so we had a good break before the mains arrived. My friends monkfish was over cooked which was a shame, but it was generally okay. We didn’t need a dessert but had one anyway - again these were okay - but avoid the profiteroles as well the presentation is not particularly attractive. No dessert wines. When the weather is nice it’s much better to get a table outside (which is undercover). We we there for nearly three hours and didn’t feel rushed at all. I think overall it’s a nice place to go with a group of friends. I don’t think I would go here for a romantic meal. Considering the location the price was fair for the food. Overall it’s more like 3.5 stars than 4, but we had a nice time.

Delicious! The food was great and service was super fast. Beautiful location to sit in the bright and airy alley. Highly recommended

Pleasant venue, helpful attentive staff but it is not cheap and some of the food was too disappointing to risk returning. Steak and antipasto were super but garlic bread and chips were soaking with oil and inedible. Bit of a wait for one main, too. The others were half eaten before it arrived. Cost of garlic bread was deducted but so it should have been as it was inedible even a hungry teenager struggled with it. Manager acknowledged chips were greasy, blamed chef but no further recompense given. A pity because it looked a good restaurant.

I have been here twice 15 years apart and both times were excellent. It’s great value, with large tasty portions. The staff are lovely and it has a nice atmosphere. Would recommend booking at the weekend. I won’t leave it so long before going back again.

Super delicious!! I'm a vegetarian and all the vegetarian food is delicious, the vegetarian pizza, the vegetarian pasta, and the fried fish that my boyfriend ordered is also delicious. Today's birthday, the restaurant also gave tiramisu and sang a birthday song to us. Surprise！

Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is actually at a passage with couple of other restaurants which creates a lovely and lively atmosphere. The service is very friendly. The food comes fairly quick. The food is average I have to say but the portions are more than enough. We had a pleasent experience.

Very cosy and soft atmosphere at this Italian restaurant. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly and the food was really tasty and delicious. We had tagliatelle gamberetti and risotto with mushroom and truffle (which wasn’t salty enough).
