    Food great , service not good . Was seated in one of the worst tables when the place was empty. Staff happy to let 2 drunk gents sit swearing until I approached them . I didn’t like the ambience of the place . I won’t return, plenty of competition in the city
    Piccolino Caffe Grande ManchesterResponded on June 8, 2025

Your comments about the atmosphere and handling of other guests are very concerning, and we sincerely apologize for that. We take this seriously and will review what happened with our team to ensure better experiences in the future. We appreciate you giving us a try, and we’re sorry we didn’t leave a better impression. Kindest regards Sebastian Rios Guerra General Manager

    Beautiful restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. Food and wine was delicious and great to see restaurant that puts as much effort into the kids menu as the main menu.

    The food and service here are out of this world, it is a bit expensive but definitely worth every penny. My husband had the wagu lasagne, it looked and tasted absolutely delicious. I ordered the special which was seafood filled ravioli, it wasn’t something I would normally have chosen but I am so glad I did! We would definitely go back again
    Piccolino Caffe Grande ManchesterResponded on June 4, 2025
    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that both the food and service exceeded your expectations—it truly means a lot to our team. It’s great to know your husband enjoyed the Wagyu lasagne, and that the seafood ravioli was a pleasant surprise! We always strive to offer dishes that are both memorable and worth the experience. We’re grateful for your kind words and thrilled to know you’re planning to return. We look forward to welcoming you both back very soon. Kind regards, Sebastian
