We generally have a drink at the bar while we waited to be seated and they have a few different cocktails available. You can also look at the lobsters in the tank but I always feel mean on them so I don't look at them! My favourite starter here are the scallops, I could eat them everyday! My favourite main course is the Mushroom Stroganoff which is absolutely delicious although I can't usually eat it all! The desserts are always really nice, we love the cheesecake, and we get an extra piece each to take home! Bad point: I had the King Prawn main course once and really didn't like it, I couldn't eat it and sent it back, it's strange because I love King Prawns but it must've been the way they cooked them or something. They offered me something else but I didn't really want to wait while they cooked something else so I shared my boyfriend's pizza. I was very disappointed when the bill came and they hadn't taken my main course off, which cost £17 or even knocked part of it off. We'd both had three courses each, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water and I felt that taking some off for my main course would have been a nice goodwill gesture but my boyfriend wouldn't let me question it with them. Every restaurant I have ever eaten in, if anybody has ever sent something back, then they haven't paid for it, they might have taken something off if we'd questioned it so I won't hold this against them really. Sul Lago is just through Daisy Nook if you're coming from Ashton, you need a car or taxi to get there, I wouldn't recommend walking through there at night! Overall it is a gorgeous restaurant and I can't wait until we go again.

The venue itself was very open and spacious with several depictions of Leonardo D'vinci art from the Vatican on the ceiling and walls. The outside area beheld a lovely forest scenery but it was too windy despite the warm sun so we retreated back inside. I will be honest, the prices were a bit steeper than I expected. Starters from £7 upwards and mains from £12 to £30 or more. The selection was diverse though, (see photo). It did take a while to get a drink because they were a little busy being Saturday but they were all pleasant. I ordered a glass of pinot grigio along with a spicy pork sausage in red wine sauce and a Ciro linguine which included monkfish, scallops, King prawns, squid and mussels in a tomato sauce. My other half had the mozzarella in parmaham followed by paridiso linguine containing crab meat and King prawns in a garlic lemon creamy sauce. The sausage was really tasty and came with some fresh flat bread to dunk into the rich sauce . On receiving my main I was offered a sprinkling of parmesan cheese which complimented the dish. There was only a couple pieces of monkfish and scallops but lots of prawns and squid. It all tasted fresh and plesant but preferred the richer sauce the sausage had been floating in. My partners starter was really good although a little stingey with the parmaham. His main was also good with strong tasting crab. To finish we both enjoyed a coffee, mine being a liqueur one of course. Overall we enjoyed the experience, its a nice venue but because Italian food has such simple ingredients I find it quite easy to find someone who does it better. I did find it a little over priced for some dishes and could have placed more certain ingredients on the plate. I have simply just had better for less. Would I come back? Yes I would come back with a member of my family for a special occasion perhaps?

On Tripadvisor this place has been consistently ranking high for in excess of a year in the top 10…read moreof all 1360 (listed) restaurants in Manchester. Not having quoted from TA before, but as of today (25/01/15) they are ranking 6th and the 5 above them do not include Italian restaurants, so therefore are Manchester's top Italian restaurant. All that said upon arrival and entry you would wonder why! Then upon commencement of your courses you can easily see why. We had the special for £24.99 of 12 tapas dishes and a HUGE 19"pizza which we were allowed to do half once topping and half another. 4 of us ate more than confortably (inc a Coke) for only £9 each. Our tapas that we chose were chicken wings, tomato rice balls, BBQ ribs, croquettes, meatballs and bruschetta. Then the huge pizza arrived which left your draw dropping! Pros - This place sure hits the spot for taste, value, quality and friendly staff. Even Bruno himself recalled seeing us one time before, which had to be around 9 months previously! Cons - book well in advance to avoid disappointment (although a good friend of mine just before Xmas called in whilst driving passed and got the last table... Alex B way to go dude!) and don't be put off by the small bijoux tranquil surroundings! Go on give it a try! Well worth the drive, or the local tram stop called 'Velopark' (immediately after 'Etihad Campus') which is about 3 mins walk away!

Armed with several friends I could feel my group doing this menu some justice and we certainly did. First up the starters. Superb. They've got loads of anti-pasta type dishes and more different breads than Elisabeth Taylor has had husbands. Gorgeous and fresh baked with a variety of toppings and seasonings. After eating my own body weight in yeast based products I went for some Gnocchi as a main after threatening to have it for ages now and I wasn't disappointed. The pizzas were also beautifully done and looking at how quickly my fellow foodie consumed her pasta I can safely say it was a storming success. It's not that pricy either so we even made room for a cheeky pudding of the calorie splurging variety and a coffee. The Godfather would indeed be impressed.

Then I was lucky enough to be recommended a new café in town called Mozaic, it's an authentic Moroccan establishment with all the food freshly prepared onsite. From my first visit I was instantly welcomed by the owner who is only too happy to let you try any of the exotic looking dishes on offer before you buy. You can certainly tell they are passionate about the food here.... you can taste it in every mouth full. They really know they're stuff and can reassuringly explain the ingredients of their dishes, offer serving suggestions or if you are hungry enough can give you a little taste of everything if you wish. You can take away or eat in, there are only five or six tables if you do choose to eat in so it's rather cosy; however this adds to the charm of the place. The falafel is the best I have ever tasted and if you want something filling and tasty on the go then I would suggest one of their flat bread wraps, which with any 2 side salads for about £3 - is about as excellent value for money as you can get for fresh food. There is a large selection of cold salads as well as hot dishes including vegetarian options, all the dishes I have tried so far I have enjoyed tremendously. Normally this is the kind of place that would outshine most similar establishments in Didsbury, Chorlton and the like which why it's even more exciting that we have something to sparkle on this side of the M60. For those of you who think that excellent cultural culinary delights finish at the End of Wilbraham Road, I implore you to make a visit Mozaic.

Nice new location in the Manchester City Center, and they do not turn you away 20-30 minutes early like other nearby restaurants who are closing by 21:30. I was greeted by the manager and was quickly seated. Shortly after I ordered, a few more tables were full of hungry customers. Nice and clean inside and a drink tower towards the rear of the restaurant by the salad bar. Free refills available. They also have a bar in case your in need of that pizza pairing alcoholic beverage. I ordered the meal deal which included an individual sized pizza, a drink and a starter. The mozzarella cheese bites sounded good and were. Only gripe, guess were spoiled in the US and want ranch or marinara with them, they have hot sauce, BBQ and ketchup available at the tables. The pizza came out quick and was delicious, pan crust with bacon, ham, sweet corn and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Would come back here again, delightful staff and solid food.

I managed to pick up a promotional deal which was a small pizza (including gluten-free) with a side and drink for £11.99. This location is on Fountain Street, a stone's throw away from the Manchester Arndale and only a short walk away from Piccadilly Gardens, and St Peter's Square, all you need to do is turn past the large (and newer) EE store on Market Street opposite Primark, and you're there. The staff seemed pretty friendly and had no problem speeding up my order, the online ordering process was super simple up until when I'd ordered it. I was told my food would take 40 minutes despite requesting ASAP which makes no sense as 40 minutes isn't ASAP: The restauraunt sorted it with a quick phone call and I got my food within 15 minutes or so which was much more reasonable. For my pizza, I ordered a gluten-free chicken supreme, I did enjoy the toppings, especially the chicken but I found the base to be far too thick and bland, it wasn't pleasant at all which was a real shame. This is something I've found to be common with Pizza Hut's rectangular gluten-free base at other locations. 2* - Pretty basic pizza joint, now this might work in your smaller town but in a big city like Manchester where on a regular day there are dozens of fresh italians if you choose here you're pretty much spitting in the face of authentic cuisine.

Great if you hate snot nosed kids. However it's best to avoid the place on a match day coz you won't be able to get in. I'm serious. Similarly it's quite annoying to hear every Wiganer on EVERY table going: "OMG Daaaave Wheeelan's in!!!!" With approving looks to diners they don't even know. 1. I don't care about Daaaave Wheeeelan, I'm here to enjoy my meal. Crane your necks back in folks! 2. I think the frequent presence of Daaave Wheeelan is the reason why it gets so many diners. Which is a shame because not all of us want to stare at Dave like he's some goldfish. I think due to it's size and Dave Whelan's god almighty like presence iare the reasons why it lacks the friendliness you get in much smaller family run places. The foods good, really good infact but because of the amount of diners it's quite hard to get the attention of a waiter if you need more drinks, or to get the bill. I prefer waiters to come over and ask if I'm ready for the bill. In Rigalettos you'll just be sat around waiting, like a lemon. They just walk right past you like they don't want to be bothered most of the time. If you're a fan of Dave Whelan then this is a GREAT place. However if you're looking for service with a smile then probably not for you. In my case I don't have too much luck with Italian restarants in Wigan.
