Reviews Marco's New York Italian Mediacityuk

Visited tonight for mine and my husbands 1st wedding anniversary. Was treated like royalty from when we first walked in. The food was to die for. We both had the Fillet steak which was by far the best steak we’ve had. Cooked perfectly. The brownie for dessert was mouth-wateringly good. Our server, Sophie, was what made the night for me. She was a joy to be around, very professional but knew when to have a laugh and a joke with us also. I loved the personal touch of wishing us a happy anniversary on the top of our receipt. Will definitely be back again.

Absolutely loved this resturant. Went on Friday for afternoon tea. Traditional one for me, gentleman's tea for the hubby. This was by far the best one we've had, and we've done quite a few, even top notch hotels in manchester. Our afternoon tea was served on a small wooden picnic bench and was piled with lots of yummy sandwiches/cakes, miniture burgers, chips etc. The service we received was very attentive, if I remember rightly the young lady server was called amy. She was very polite and friendly too. Thank you all at Marco pierre whites. We enjoyed it that much we've rebooked another one in a few weeks. Highly recommended.

Thank you for making my Birthday special. Orla our waitress was so attentive and lovely. All the staff were very nice and the food was delicious, steaks divine and the best cheesecake ever. Will be back.

Fabulous place.....I had the gentleman's afternoon tea...three mini burgers and fries, home made scone with jam and cream....however I was defeated but brought my amazing brownie home. The staff were lovely and made a fuss of my mum for her birthday..I will definitely be back!!

Fabulous restaurant, the food was delicious and the desserts were to die for. The staff were very friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely be going again.

Can’t recommend this place enough the staff and service are amazing the food was superb the Italian afternoon tea was amazing nothing was too much trouble will definitely be returning

We were up visiting from Dorset as our son is studying at Manchester. We wanted to celebrate his birthday somewhere close to media city. We couldn’t get a room at the holiday Inn but knew the hotel well. Our youngest son has severe autism, therefore going out for dinner can be stressful. We visited in the day to prepare him and spoke with James the manager. James took an interest in our sons needs he very compassionate understanding and professional. We arrived at the restaurant with a table with access to a power source, one of our sons comfort needs is his iPad. Throughout the meal James could not do enough for us he even asked if William would prefer no birthday singing when we brought out the birthday cake. The food was excellent and will be visiting again soon. I only apologise that this review wasn’t submitted earlier.

Marco’s New York Italian – A great place bringing the best of both Italian and American food Thank you for the hospitality that I received when visiting your Media City restaurant last Friday for a pre-theatre meal. Food and Menu There is a simple menu that includes all the Italian and American classics that people love to eat. The choices are limited however it does cater for a range of diners from the Meat lover to the Vegetarian. In the Starters there is a Garlic Pizza Bread that is tasty with a great Garlic aroma. There is also American Style Nachos with Jalpenos and all the sauces to dip into. It also has Calamari, Ribs and the Chicken Crunch too. In the Mains there is a great selection of Pizzas with good flavours. There are also additional toppings that you can add for an extra charge. There is also a decent variety of Steak, Pasta and Salad dishes for those that fancy those too. For the Burger fan there are some Beef Burgers and a Chicken one too. There is also a wide variety of sides that are a great addition to your meal from Chips, Sweet Potato Fries to Onion Rings and Garlic Bread too. For those with a sweet tooth then there is a selection of popular Desserts including the Warm Chocolate Brownie, Cheesecake and, Tiramisu that is creamy and indulgent to eat. If you like cold Desserts then there is Ice Cream and the Knicker Bocker Glory. For the Starters the Garlic Pizza Bread was tasty however it was too crispy and crunchy to eat. It is usually soft and scrumptious to eat. The Calamari was pleasant to eat but could have been cooked better as it was a bit rubbery to eat. The Chicken Crunch was delicious. It was cooked nicely and the Mayonnaise dip went well with it. For the Mains the Chicken Fillet was well cooked and it was beautifully presented. It was tasty and heart-warming to eat. The Salad and the Mayo added more flavour otherwise it would have been bland just having Chicken inside a Burger Bap. The Sweet Potato Fries were comforting to eat. They were crispy on the outside and were soft on the inside. I love how they are presented in a small pan dish. Cute. The Onion Rings were OK but they broke apart every time I ate them. This suggests that they should have been cooked better to give them a solid texture and stop them breaking. The Dessert was the stand out course of the dinner. The Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream was lovely in I ts presentation. The Brownie was cooked to perfection. It was not hard to eat or runny with gooey and indulgent Chocolate. Heaven. The Ice Cream was great too as it cut through the richness of the Chocolate adding texture. Drinks They have a good selection of soft drinks which include all the popular ones to have. There is also a small variety of juices on offer too. However they do not serve non-alcoholic Mocktails. Service The service was good. Our waitress was friendly, welcoming and attentive. She gave us the time to choose our dishes. Her suggestions for food were spot on. It was good that the food came out pretty quickly and it was beautifully presented. Lighting and Access The lighting at this restaurant was pretty bright which allows for an enjoyable meal for most people including those with visual impairments. Entry to this restaurant is at the Holiday Inn Hotel to which there is a small step to enter into the building. Once inside there is both stairs and lifts to get to the Mezzazine floor. This is where you will find the restaurant. Furniture The furniture here is brilliant. I love the big tables which are spacious. The chairs are big and are comfortable which gives a relaxed ambiance so that you can dine in style. Parking Parking is available at the Quayside Media City UK multi-storey car park (formerly The Lowry). If you are a Blue Badge holder then you will get 4 free hours when stamping your ticket. This takes effect from the time of arrival. Alternatively you can park at the Media City multi-storey which is closer to the venue.

OK for a hotel restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. The steak was on the grissely side..

The service is really friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious and portion sizes are very generous.

Food was lovely, but a bit overpriced. Staff more interested in chatting to each other than dealing with customers. Waited ages for our drinks (2 bottles coke and 1 bottle of lemonade), had to ask for them again once food had been delivered
