I bloody love Croma. At first glance, it's a bog standard Italian restaurant - pizza and pasta. But look closer at the menu and it's much more interesting. There are pizzas topped with tandoori chicken, chicken caesar salad, hoisin duck, black pudding and many more unusual toppings. But more importantly, they all taste incredible. The pizza bases are also some of the nicest I've had, crispy and light. Starters are just as incredible - tonight I went for black pudding and chorizo topped bruschetta, Sparky went for prawns and both were fantastic. It's also nice to see local options - we had a guest beer from Congleton. To top it all out the staff are friendly, polite but professional with it. You're never rushed, you're never ignored and they're there when you need them.
They only take bookings for tables of 6 or more, anything less than that and you may have to queue but it's definitely worth the wait. They also have some great midweek and early bird deals. Since it's less than 5 minutes' walk from Prestwich Metrolink, it's definitely worth a visit. read more
