Went for Birthday lunch on Monday with my sister, waiters were polite and attentive, atmosphere/ambience was spot on. Decor is well suited and makes you feel like you're in Italy. Not had food this good since visiting Rome last year. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu 10/10.
An Italian friend brought us here for a great supper. There were other Italian families coming in too so that tells you this place serves authentic food and drinks
I had pasta puttanesca . It was delicious. My wife had pasta with a pancetta and pistachio sauce. - would like the pancetta / guanciale cooked more so its golden brown delicious , The service and ambience was great.They have a Deli also which has LOTS of imported pasta types I have never seen before. Amazing selection of jars with all kinds of Italian goodness…Cheeses / meats ALL Imported ....highly recommend

What an absolute gem in the centre of town. The pizzas and pasta are fantastic, cooked to perfection. Old school Italian restaurant vibes add to the atmosphere.
Nice atmosphere, came here for a birthday meal. Dishes were great.
This is one of my favourite places for Italian. The food is always very tasty and it has a really nice atmosphere for a city centre. We asked if they had garlic bread as it wasn't on the menu and they were happy to accommodate. The gnocchi is so tasty for a simple dish. Service is great and all the staff say hello and thank you when leaving.
Been here couple of times and i would back again. The food quality is good and the atmosphere is nice.
This gem is hidden in plain sight!
You go down a flight of stairs and it is like going through a portal to Italy. There is the family business vibe; the open kitchen with the oven just sitting there perfecting the pizzas and calzonis; the casual Italian you hear only among insiders; and then comes the food. It hits you with all the flavor: from the just-so-right ripened tomato; the all-you-can-wish-for garlic; and the bless-that-cow cheese. Everything was superb.
What a great Italian restaurant!
I believe one of the best Italian restaurants in Manchester especially for pizza and pasta. If you are in city center, this restaurant will be good choice to try their cuisine and give your feedback. The staff are very friendly and cooperative

Dinner with friends, catching up after a long time. Needed a place with great food options and lovely atmosphere to spend the time. One of our friends mentioned this place and made reservations. We reached the place. Our table was ready and we were seated. We were made to order our drinks and starters. I personally don't drink but my friends ordered the house wine, one red and one white. They mentioned it was too good. We ordered several starters the best ones are the calamari and the mozzarella cheese. I asked recommendations for the main from the waiter and he suggested me the Pasta Al Mare which is the best seafood pasta. All the food was incredible. But service was a big let down. We had to ask several times to get water on the table. The food takes a long time to be served, but that could be forgiven. My friend's pasta was undercooked (I'm willing to forgive it assuming it doesn't happen often). But the highlight of the entire dinner was the desserts. The tiramisu stole my heart. Would come back again to try more on the menu
Used to love Salvi's on John Dalton Street, so was super sad when it closed over the pandemic. Didn't have a chance to visit its original restaurant until now!
The restaurant at the Corn Exchange is tucked away downstairs while a deli/shop with lots of Italian goodies sits upstairs.
The staff are friendly and the food was delicious! Proper good Italian comfort food. Would highly recommend if you want authentic Italian cuisine!
Once of the (if not the) most authentic Italians in Manchester. Food is very fresh, tasty and done just like Nonna would make!
My only issue is that it is slightly overpriced for the types of dishes and the type of service. I would recommend it however I think other places do just as good dishes for a better price.
First time eating here today. Has a great outside area that catches the sun, if you feel it's too cold to eat outside then there is inside space downstairs.
The service and the food were excellent. If you are in Manchester l can recommend you pay this place a visit
me and my boyfriend come here every couple of days for usually just a coke and snack and have had an amazing experience every time. the guy that serves us every time goes above and beyond every time we come (he even dried our seats with a paper towel outside because it had just rained) couldn’t recommend enough - this is now officially our local 😊
it’s also an amazing place for people watching/ just relaxing after a stressful day. 5 stars from us 😄
We would give this place 6 stars if we could. Came in last month and my Italian boyfriend was very impressed 😍 portion sizes are so good and the food is to die for - get the pasta with pistachio pesto and thank us later. Service was top notch too, lovely staff! We’ll be back! 🥰
The food is wonderful with excellent service in a cosy setting. A lovely place to enjoy with friends. We’ve been 3 times and look forward to returning.
