    Risotto Al Fungi with Chicken
    Aaron S.

    Don Giovanni has really suffered of late, mainly down to consistency. In its' prime, it can deliver some of the best gluten-free pasta and Italian food I've tasted but it is a question of when it wants to be up to those standards, I'm beginning to give up waiting now as it's pretty much hit and miss and at high prices even with 15% off, that isn't good enough. It has failed to hit the mark due to the following reasons 1. Misleading prices Don Giovanni claims to offer 15% off if you pick up your food, that sounds good right? BUT - It is 15% off the restauraunt prices, rather than the prices you'd pay on delivery sites such as Deliveroo and UberEATS (Again there are different prices between the sites), this could result in certain dishes being more expensive to collect even with the said discount as the 15% off is off a higher price meaning you don't save anything 2. Pasta Quality As I've said previously, the pasta is some of the best I've had outside of Italy but it is a question of when they want to get it up to that standards. My recent carbonara order made with penne was so smudgy, it was like a paste and was disgusting. After giving them another chance, they'd changed the pasta to gluten-free spaghetti however I wasn't informed of this first (misleading again as they claim to only have penne pasta), this meant I had to go all the way back to the restauraunt from the nearby bench where I was eating to check they'd given me the right pasta (This is after they'd overcharged me, with my food going cold), to eventually find out they'd changed it. By the time all this was over, the food had started to go cold and this time the pasta had no flavour, and the meat even the chicken which was previously so good, was hard. It was so bad even the pigeons I threw some to flown away after attempting to taste it. There really is a lack of consistency with food quality and prices, and considering they charge more than many nearby rivals this isn't good to see. If they charge a high-end price, they should deliver a product worthwhile. It shouldn't be hit or miss and that really does disappoint me as I've seen how good this place can be, yet I've also seen how bad it could be with even the staff coming in late on one occasion, meaning the store had to open late. I might return after the pandemic is over to see if they can deliver the amazing dining experience they once did, but until then I'm going to avoid Don Giovanni and that is a real shame. 2*

    Calamari...3 out of 5. Squid tasted fresh but batter had no flavor. Very simple and plain.

    I was most impressed with the service. Management and wait staff were very attentive and polite. The food was good, but not the best Italian I've had. For a starter i tried the calamari which tasted very fresh BUT, the batter had absolutely no flavor. Even with the lemon wedge and side of tartar it fell very bland on my tongue. I was a little disappointed because I LOVE calamari. And the food presentation could have definitely been improved. At least it did taste very fresh and not frozen. For my main I had the salmon. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. Was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful and creamy. The Panna cotta for dessert was excellent, mainly for the food presentation. Was beautiful to look at haha. The Panna cotta was rich and creamy and the fresh berry coulis was a nice complement. Overall, good food but nothing special worth going back to.

    More so a 2.5 star experience. My friend and I were really looking forward to eating here following a lovely evening of jazz at Matt and Phred's in the NQ. Armed with our 50% off voucher we arrived bang on 7.15pm. We were met by friendly staff and led to our table. The restaurant had a lovely buzz about it and a lot of the staff were Italian. Great start but it wasn't to last. We ordered olives and a bottle of champagne to start and both decided on the spinach and ricotta cannelloni for our mains. I was really looking forward to chatting and catching up with my friend but the mains arrived in under 10 minutes! We hadn't even got our olives yet! It felt rushed and poorly planned. We felt like we had to wolf down the olives so that the cannelloni didn't get cold. Annoying. The waiter kept coming over to top up our glasses and we felt it interrupted our conversation as he made small talk each time. We also had to ask for water 3 times before finally getting some. The olives and champagne were lovely but the cannelloni tasted like a standard microwave meal, very disappointing. I've eaten at Don Giovanni before prior to the refurbishment and I feel standards have really slipped. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    Last Thursday, myself and my guest headed to Don Giovanni after years of just passing it when walking down Peter Street. I guessed it had a good reputation due to how long it has been running (30 years), and that every time I pass it always seems to be bustling with a busy crowd. No matter what day or time of day it's been, it's rare I pass the place and see it looking quiet. The inside interior is very modern to say the restaurant has been open for many years, which deep tan coloured booths and seats, plus a warming gold/bronze feel to the bar area with it's pretty lighting. We were greeted by a pleasant and polite front of house lady, who took our coats and lead us to our booth close to the window. We ordered a large glass of house red wine to go with our food, which was lovely and rich. To say it was the house red, it tasted a lot more expensive.. The waiter who delivered us our wine, who then served us for the evening, was possibly the happiest and most attentive waiter I have ever experienced which was a refreshing service to have. He was so smiley, friendly and approachable, I knew straight away he had no problem looking after us for the evening Menu is extensive: pasta and risotto choices were endless, but there were also lots of other enticing choices too such as pizzas, meats, fish, salads and steaks. Just to prove it's not your bog standard Italian with unexciting pasta dishes, there were options such as Lobster Ravioli (and crab ravioli), squid ring risotto, half lobster served in the shell with garden peas, onion and garlic, and smoked salmon and pink peppercorn farfalle pasta. Fish dishes included some tasty options such as wild Scottish monkfish, sea bass fillets and salmon served with prawns. I was slightly spoilt for choice with the starters list, but opted for Melon and Prosciutto, and my guest went for Cornish Crab Cakes. Other slightly enticing options from the starters included Melanzane Parmigiana, pan fried octopus and duck and chicken pate. I was given more than a generous amount of melon (so much I had to pass a slice to my guest), and the prosciutto was delicious. I tasted the crab cakes too and they were also a great call. As for my main, I chose Lobster Ravioli purely because this is my very favourite Italian dish, and not everywhere offers it. The version at Don Giovannis came with a touch of chilli and featured 7 large parcels packed with lobster, and it didn't disappoint at all. It was full of flavour which a slight chilli kick, yet kept its creamy base. My guest went for tagliolini with langoustines, king prawns, garlic, chilli and tomato, and was a thoroughly enjoyable dish too. Portion sizes were just right, and costing around £14 for a pasta dish full of seafood is quite reasonable I would say. The slice of cheesecake I had for dessert was actually the best size for a dessert, as it wasn't over-facing like some can be. It tasted lovely, with a sweet touch of berries to layer up on my fork. A great Italian addition to Manchester!

    Taking advantage of the 50% offer on food throughout August if you book online to make reservations, which makes this a very good value meal. We went here as a last minute and instead of walk in, we booked online at 6pm for a table at 7:15pm. We did try to look at the tc for the offer but all it says on website is on all food on a la carte menu. We were seated quite quickly and only then it was explained additional supplement costs (£5.00) to order steak and fish course for the 50% deal, which works out roughly 30% off on steak and fish courses and the rest of the food was 50% off. Food was delicious which i can't really fault at all and the service was good. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because the cutlery given for my main was dirty so I had to send it back. Otherwise it would have been perfect and definitely a 5 stars! In terms of value, the 50% off deal makes this a very value for money meal offer as it equals to each paying£21 for party of 3, where we ate 3 course meals plus 2 sides and drinks.

    Back when I first moved to Manchester I had an ill-advised first date with an unsuitable suitor at Don Giovanni's, in its old guise. You see, before DGs was a sexy, glass-plate cathedral to good lighting and glossy food, it was a more homely little brasserie across the road in the soon-to-be-defunct Elisabeth House. It was pretty, with little arched windows and a huge mass of twinkly little fairy lights festooned across the ceiling. Unfortunatel my date wasn't as lovely, but that's not DGs fault. Nowadays, DGs is a glossy, shiny superhero version of its former self. No longer content with fairy lights, the owners of DGs have shelled out approximately twelve bajillion pounds for super awesome light fittings that make this place glow like a beacon of loveliness. The decor is really something. No longer is DGs a cute little hole in the wall; it has become a fully fledged designer restaurant, with food to match. The food is truly great, and it comes beautifully presented too. Expect fresh zingy flavours and modern takes on traditional Italian fare. I love the fusili al pesto, which blends pesto, pine nuts and pecorino. the pasta dishes are really generous, and don't expect to pay more than £9. While I nommed down on my pasta, the boyf tucked into a veal escalope that was juicy and succulent, and beautifully cooked. Mains are priced around £15, and you can grab a fillet steak for under £20. The prices really are great, with starters priced around £4. The wine list is good, but not very extensive. However, there's something for most palettes and pockets, and their Valpolicella (£19.50) is great value. There's a confusing bit on the wine list; their Prestige Wine Club, which just appears to be the pricier wines, set apart at the top of the list. An interesting gimmick, Mr Giovanni, but no way no how am I shelling out £90 for a bottle of plonk! DGs is a good place to pop in for lunch, as they'll always find a table for you, but the sexy decor and intimate booth seats mean that it is also a great date venue. And it's not as pricey as it looks from outside!

    Don Giovanni's is absolutely fantastic. If you like Italian food you will absolutely adore it here. In a nice location just across from St Peter's Square, Don Giovanni's looks spectacular when you stumble across, beautifully decorated inside, the glass windows kind of showcase it and even though you've already walked past at least two Italian restaurants on the same road (no matter what direction you've come from!) you will find yourself wondering about this place. The most shocking thing about is the prices. San Carlos is my second favourite restaurant behind Don Giovanni's and the price margin is significantly higher over there! The food is just plain exquisite. I swore I hated risotto until I came here with a friend and she persuaded me to try hers...I am now officially in love! The menu is phenomenal, I have been here a few times now and persuaded myself to have something different everytime despite really wanted to have the same as last time as it is always amazing! The wine menu is also fantastic and the desserts and incredible. I can't give Don Giovanni's a higher recommendation, basically go here and do it soon!

    Had a lovely evening here tonight celebrating a family birthday. We were lucky enough to be seated in the corner of the restaurant so it felt quite private. One of the headlights was a little bright but overall there was a good ambience to the place. We ordered the focaccia as a starter which turned out to be the size of a pizza so thank goodness we hadn't chosen pizzas for main as it would have been bread overload! I had the mussels which were absolutely delicious...generous portion and delightfully in a chilli and tomato sauce instead of the usual garlic and white wine most other restaurants offer. Sadly they didn't have the cheesecake I was hoping to demolish for dessert so instead I had strawberries and ice cream...can't really go wrong to be fair! The staff (who seemed to be mostly Italian) were very polite and accommodating without being over bearing. They offered to put our costs in the cloakroom which was a nice touch too. The ladies toilets were out of order which did generate a pretty large queue for the disabled toilet instead. Overall though we had a very good experience.

    I'm really impressed with this restaurant. It has moved locations recently and although from the outside the windows make it look a little like a fish bowl, inside the decor is chic and glamorous, with large leather booth seating (make sure you reserve one of these tables if you're a party of 4 of more), gorgeous lighting fixtures and well chosen art. What clinches the deal for me is that the service and the food is top notch yet the prices are still so reasonable compared with other Italian restaurants in town. Salads and soups start at a mere £3.50, and the choice is mind boggling. Pastas, Risottos and Pizzas generally fall between £6-9 and although the mouthwatering fish and meat dishes are between £12 and £17, it really is quality you're paying for, and still cheaper for the same standard elsewhere. The wine list is well thought out for the style of food and the waiter is very happy to help you pair the perfect dish and bottle. We were very surprised to find that the bill was so cheap. Then we realised that they'd forgot to put a dessert and some coffees on. Nevertheless, when the bill was amended (it deserved paying for in full) it still came in at only £27 each. Great ambiance, helpful staff and authentic, unpretentious Italian cuisine.

    Magical? Chemical?…read more The alchemist is not only a nice surrounding to sit in but the service and food are great and delicious. When we checked in and were asked if there were any allergies we made jokes about my husband's allergy to cinnamon - that we would not need to worry about out it before desert. We ordered a few items from the menu - which is a very delicious mix of classics with some twists (tempura fried fish and chips for example). Order was taken and a couple minutes later the manager came and said "I am sorry - but the sauce to the fish contains a bit of cinnamon" wow! We change the order of course and the manager came back to the table asking if we would be worried about cross termination. We have been not and everything went well after that. Great service. The food itself plays with the alchemist theme for example the chorizo meatballs come with a syringe to inject your own amount of cheese (what you think? Yes of course o injected the whole Syringe into the little delicious meatball duhh). The menu consist of a lot of small items which makes me so happy since I can have so many bites of different things and at the alchemist they are all worth it! And of course classics like burger, salads and sandwiches alongside their mains. The menu is not too big but literally has something for everyone. You have to try the crispy pork skins! After we had been told that the crispy fish contains cinnamon my husband learned they offer their "chicken in a basket" as a vegetarian version as well and that is what he got. Damn that is so good: A bed of chips (fries for our American friends) are surrounded by one of the best coleslaw I had in a long time (almost as good as Guy Fieri's if not even better) then slightly pan seared onions and peppers layer on top of the fries. Ready to be mixed in. Then of course a generous amount of chicken or in this case plant based chicken smothered in a sweet chili sauce. Not to forgot to mention that it came with an extra little bowl of dipping sauce. Delicious! We also had a mocktail which name I might not be allowed to recite here let's named it "virgin adult film star" what a perfect combination of fruit, creme and sweetness. Yummmmmm To end the night I had coffee and Choclate - any serving of coffee comes with a set of three pralines. What a way to end the night at the alchemist.

Walking it the vibes were really good with great lounge music playing and people chatting away. The menu and drinks offerings seemed to be the same and prices very reasonable.

We started with a sharing platter which would probably suit 2 people more than 4, but everything on the board was cooked perfectly.

I'll come back to the issue later. The manager tried to placate the situation, but the moment was never going to recover. We paid for the starters and a miniscule cheese board of Yarg (barely a slice). Also, paid for the drinks. This was the bill: 2 x Scallops & Tamarind (very nice and flavoursome) - £40.00 1 x Cornish Yarg, pickled walnut, Granny Smith apple, oatcakes - £10.00 1 x 175ml 2023 Viognier "Eco Balance", Emiliana, Aconcagua, Chile - £9.00 1 x 75ml 10yo Tawny Port, W&J Graham's, Portugal - £9.00 1 x Bottle - 2023 Viognier "Eco Balance", Emiliana, Aconcagua, Chile - £38.00 1 x Bottle - 2023 Mendoza Malbec, Deande, Argentina - £55.00 Total £161.00 The issue: Fillet (240g) 35 days dry aged (£46) - There is no way in this world was this 35 days dry aged (Trading Standards needs to check theses facts). I'd requested it to be cooked blue based on the information. Blood should not be oozing out of the meat. I have had actual 35 days dry aged fillets and when cut into them, they are purple. Hence, enter stage left, the manager. He tried to see how it could be put right, it was taken away, and returned 8 minutes later, medium to well done. My appetite was lost, as I took one slice and then left it on the plate. My wife had: Grilled spatchcocked poussin, charred red onion relish, pomme purée, chicken sauce (£28.00) - She half of the poussin, and left the lukewarm pomme purée. However, she didn't complain. (NOTE HERE: Daughter was on another table the other side of the bar away from us. I learnt that she had sent her steak back too.) The place was packed with drinkers around the bar and on the terrace area. I think I concur with another reviewer: " It's more of an influencer hot spot, first day with for a sugar baby, mixed with a London finance bros wooing clients dinner spot vibe. Nothing really screams luxury or fine dining except the prices IYKYK. " A brash clientele, who I found quite rude in their behaviour. One chap bumped into me, and definitely their fault for not looking, but no apology. That's not the fault of the restaurant, but possibly the type that is attracted. I think my wife was sold on this place based on the hype she'd read, and the views. I will not return nor can I recommend. I'm generous with the 2 stars.

    Besides the beautiful view, which is the primary draw of this particular establishment located just…read moreacross from the Ivy restaurant, the chef here is quite creative and has unique takes on many different standard steak and seafood entrées. Many seasonal items are included on the menu. And the wait staff are very well trained and helpful in navigating the quite varied menus available. While a bit pricey because of the location, the atmosphere is sure to impress and is a lovely way to celebrate a special occasion or to treat a special person to a particularly amazing experience.

    What can I say about Manchester House? Other than that it is excellent. In fact, excellent doesn't…read moreeven cut it. I was lucky enough to have Neil C. take me to Manchester House last Friday as a treat for starting my new job. I have visited the bar on 12th floor numerous times and have always been impressed, but this was the first time for dinner. Upon arrival, the hostess on the ground floor congratulated me on my new job! Excellent customer service and such an amazing, personal feel. She knew this from when the table was booked, but she didn't have to say anything. She did and it was amazing. Heading out of the lift into the restaurant we were greeted by a few more lovely hostesses. They welcomed us, took our coats and we were shown to our table. Walking through the restaurant, it has been very cleverly designed so that you walk past the kitchen first, giving you chance to see some of the dishes being prepared and sent out to their tables. I was SO excited. We ordered 2 full tasting menus. I ordered the drinks flight in addition and Neil C. went for the wine flight. The tables were neatly laid out and the seating was comfy - good job too, as we were sat there almost 3 hours. Our waiter arrived, carrying 2 glasses of Champagne. 'A gift from us. To congratulate you on your new job!' he said. :D *Laura beams* These guys are good. Throughout the evening our waiter was charming, knowledgeable, friendly and explained each dish in such minute detail that I can barely remember what I ate. All I have to say is that every one of the twelve courses I consumed was exquisite. Overall, it's obviously very expensive, but more than worth it. I'm already pushing for my next promotion so that Neil C. can take me back!!! ;)

    This is just a review for the Lounge, because as my dad has not yet visited I haven't been to the…read morerestaurant (HA! what a cash surprise awaits him). Anyway, the Lounge is beautiful and a great place if you want to impress someone - it's on the 12th floor with excellent views over the city and there's a cosy outdoor area as well. The cocktail range is extensive and, unsurprisingly, a little pricier than elsewhere in town. One French 75 had a pretty major impact on my sobriety, however, so I'd say it's value for money as well as delicious. I'm also a fan of their cut glass crystal. The staff are very nice although can be a little slow to take your order/clear tables. Also beware the lift! It has a mind of its own. Update: the vesper here is excellent.
