Piccolino Caffé Grande, Manchester

1. Came in around 7pm on a Tuesday and it was packed with a wait of upwards of 40 minutes. However, the bar was open and serving both food and drinks, so my guest and I opted for that, which couldn’t have been a better decision. The bartenders were so friendly and charismatic. It was nice to get a little bartending “show” and hear them joke with each other in Italian. They were enjoying themselves, which sets the tone for the restaurant. The food was amazing — had a few salads, lasagne, and risotto, along with some wine and a mocktail. All were delicious and generous in portion. Service was friendly and quick, impressive considering they were also tending to the bar. This may sound strange, but it was nice to be at the bar and still feel like part of the restaurant. This was a highlight of my time in Manchester.

2. **Review for Piccolino Caffé Grande, Manchester**

   I recently visited Piccolino Caffé Grande in Manchester and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Firstly, the restaurant is much grander than I anticipated. The elegant decor, with its high ceilings and tasteful Art Deco styling, creates a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.

   The service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel right at home. They were attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall pleasant experience.

   Now, onto the food. The sweets were a highlight for me. They offer a delightful selection of desserts that are beautifully presented and taste as good as they look. I particularly enjoyed the tiramisu, which was rich and creamy, and the chocolate fondant, which was perfectly gooey on the inside.

   Overall, Piccolino Caffé Grande exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic place for a special occasion or just a nice meal out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian food in a stylish settings.

3. Came to piccolino after my daughter’s graduation late afternoon. The staff were great, friendly and courteous. They made several options available to us when menu items were unavailable and adapted one of the orders to suit, which was nice. Complementary fizz for all the guests on the graduate experience which was also really nice.
   The food was lovely and good portions. We had a large round table and it was perfect for our group.
   Would recommend.

4. Terrific place, beautiful decor, wonderful food, amazing team! Family friendly atmosphere here, so helpful with the choices, excellent dining choices. I go into Manchester a couple of times a year but this is an essential visit for some top quality Italian cuisine! Five stars, heartily recommended.

5. Amazing. I came here yesterday to celebrate my friend’s birthday and the service we received was absolutely wonderful! The food was 10/10, especially the lasagne and spaghetti carbonara. The staff were so kind and hospitable, and they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ with such enthusiasm (the best I’ve ever seen at any restaurant!) which made the day feel so much more special. Thank you for giving us an incredible experience!
