Don Marco - Manchester

Pleasant venue, helpful attentive staff but it is not cheap and some of the food was too disappointing to risk returning. Steak and antipasto were super but garlic bread and chips were soaking with oil and inedible. Bit of a wait for one main, too. The others were half eaten before it arrived. Cost of garlic bread was deducted but so it should have been as it was inedible even a hungry teenager struggled with it. Manager acknowledged chips were greasy, blamed chef but no further recompense given. A pity because it looked a good restaurant.

It was very vibrant on a Saturday night with a live band.

The best pasta in Manchester! The atmosphere was lovely, and I'm still thinking about the cheesy garlic bread. One of the members of our party was Coeliac, but all pasta dishes were available as gluten-free, so that was amazing.

Solid gnocchi, dessert was decent but not mindblowing

One of the worst Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Manchester. The waitress was rude and ignored us a few times. Everything we ordered was vile. We order cheesy garlic bread and it had loads of raw onion in it to the point we felt we were eating cheesy onion bread. The lasagna was ok but still not that wow, the gnocchi was bland and the sauce was too watery. The ceasar salad was the worst Caesar salad I’ve ever had, it tasted nothing like what a ceasar salad would taste like and we’ve ordered a side of chips and we got a bowl of oily not fully cooked chips. Avoid at all costs.
