We were really looking forward to trying Rosso and saved it for a special occasion. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations.. The food was average. The quality of ingredients was good, i.e., the fresh bread and pasta. Personally, we found the chicken tasted hard, and the lamb cutlet was awful. It had no flavour and didn't taste nice. The steak was generally nice and cooked well, which accompanied the peppercorn sauce. I didn't feel like the price point reflected the taste of the food. The desserts, however, were great and were thoroughly enjoyed! The atmosphere was pleasant. Though it was quite cold inside, which was understandable due to the large venue. It was clean and pleasant. The service was definitely a letdown. Our server did not smile and was not pleasant. They didn't make any sort of conversation, even when asked about halal options, it was one word answers - like we were so inconvenient for asking them questions about the menu instead of just ordering. We haven't really had a lot of Italian food before, so a lot of the items were new to us, and we were offered no explanation or assistance. We thought maybe the server was tired and excused it, however, literally 15 minutes later another table was seated directly next to us and the server went above and beyond to talk to them about the menu options, good drink accompaniments and general chitchat. We felt a little upset as our initial experience had already dampened the evening on what was a special occasion for us. We are generally very friendly people and were in no way rude to the server that warranted that type of behaviour. Whenever our next item of food was brought, it was brought in silence, and not even a simple "enjoy your food" was said.
Full bellies and banging headaches! Food was absolutely divine as you'd expect for the price. The staff were all relatively helpful and attentive given how busy it was. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but please, someone sack the DJ! Given it's such a beautiful place for fine dining, why on Earth have you turned it into a nightclub?! We could barely hear ourselves talk and think, and it was not pleasant eating to such loud music. We won't be returning for this reason which is a shame as the food was wonderful.
Xmas decor so dreamy. Nice staff even though the waiter said there was no candles available for my husbands cake that he brought out however 5 minutes later seen other waiters bring out candles with complimentary cakes for other guests. Apart from that nice food especially calamari & steak was cooked to perfection. decent ambiance
This is truly a gem of a place with great quality food in Manchester. Friendly staff, cool environment which was decorated both inside and outside and super quality food was all it took them to hook me into their restaurant. It was absolutely phenomenal. Service was exceptional and the food was sensational and the decor was quite elegant. This isn't the cheapest Italian restaurant, but you will definitely get what you pay for. The lobster crostini and the chocolate sphere deserts being particularly delicious! I also had the truffle sausage pasta dish and my mum chose the prawn one. The profiteroles are the best ones I’ve ever ever had, but the highlight was the banana creme brûlée - incredible! I can't wait to return to this restaurant on my next trip to Manchester. It is a restaurant which is a great value for money; Recommend 💯
Had a fantastic 3 course meal on the Sunday menu, all 4 of us couldn’t fault the service or the food! The added bonus is the beautiful building which is simply stunning, highly recommended for £25…. You can not get better anywhere in Manchester for the quality we had.
