Carluccio's - Manchester

This is a fantastic spot for Italian cuisine. I have only been for breakfast so far, but the ricotta hotcakes are incredible (light and sweet with a banana contrast). I will definitely be returning to try it for lunch or dinner.

I had a very good informal lunch with my daughter on Saturday afternoon at this restaurant. The service was excellent and the mushroom risotto and bruschetta were both perfect. Overall, good value for money and a great atmosphere.

I recently stopped by this restaurant looking for a light snack, specifically coffee and cake. I ended up enjoying a beautiful latte paired with a passion fruit pastry. The coffee was excellent, smooth and not bitter or sour. The pastry was a bit sharper than I expected due to the passion fruit cream, but still a light and refreshing dessert. The interior of the restaurant is airy, spacious, and beautiful, with a casual yet smart atmosphere. The main entrance is wheelchair accessible, but the back entrance has a few steps. There is also a lovely outdoor area with sun umbrellas. Since it was a quiet day, the service was fast and the staff were pleasant. Although my original order of affogato was mistakenly served as a latte, I was satisfied with the latte and did not mention the error. Overall, it was a worthwhile stop and I would definitely return for a proper meal.

Great restaurant. we called an early dinner en-route from marriott to the o2 ritz. eating was very good. excellent value for money. service very attentive and friendly. for casual eating with a hauch of class this is the place to go.

I'm not always a huge Italian fan, what with all the pasta and me tending to avoid it, but I have to say, I am a carluccio's fan, not just because you can
