I'm definitely going to give this place another chance because I heard great things about it, the…read morestarters were all wonderful. The crab and carbonara pastas were delicious, but I was beyond disappointed with the bolognese. It's obviously the restaurants recipe and people must like it if it's still on the menu, but in my opinion is was very sloppy. I did not enjoy it at all. I ended up switching dishes with my husband (he ordered the crab pasta). We also ordered cocktails and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant is very nice. We also liked that many of the staff was Italian or my husband seems to think so, so that was cool. Next, we will be trying the location in Didsbury.

Piccolino is a reliably nice place to eat, the restaurants are all very elegant and the staff are…read morevery friendly. We went on one of the best evenings of the summer so even though it was Tuesday it was packed and service was very slow but we weren't too bothered given the pleasant weather and surroundings. Food wise we had decent seafood starters of crab and scallop and then bf had a calzone which he really enjoyed and I had tagliatelle with summer truffle - I went for large which was a bit of an error as it was massive but somehow I still managed to eat it all. It's a nice touch that the menus contain information about where all the ingredients are sourced - despite Piccolino being a chain you get the impression it's food and service first rather than brand (or quality food and service is the brand). I don't think you will have a mindblowing dish here but you won't go too wrong either.

I visited here at the weekend, and I must say, what a great little addition to Poynton…read more Very good menu with a lot of choice, breakfasts, lunch, burgers, steaks and lobster all in one place. We were a failry big party and were well accomodated for. I had the brisket pinchito as a starter and the meat literally fell apart in my mouth. 5* As a main I opted for the "yo mama's so hot burger", was warned beforehand that it was very spicy but I really enjoy spice. Was a great meal. Was too full for desert but they have a great range as they have their own bakery with homemade pies and plum tartin on offer. Overall fantastic meal with great service from the ever smiling staff. Will be returning for a very hungover breakfast this weekend.

The place has a family feel to it and the waiting staff are so welcoming and make the dining experience a truly enjoyable one. I would recommend the pizzas and the garlic bread with NQ sauce - absolutely out of this world!!!

As other reviewers point out, service here is extremely efficient, with your drinks order being…read moretaken basically as soon as you sit down and food orders also being taken and processed quickly. I didn't feel rushed though, and bf loved the immediate arrival of beer to his hand. Food wise, I was tempted by a few things on this interesting Bangladeshi menu and got some helpful and decisive advice from the waiter. In the end I want for the chicken thawa which wasn't particularly unusual in flavour (I chickened out of the satkora fruit option which I will get next time) but very well done and a very generous portion. I thought the aloo gobi was the best I've had in ages. We also tried onion bhajis and I would say Blue Nile is slightly beaten out by Stockport rival Last Monsoon in terms of flavour and crispiness. Bf had lamb handi which he really enjoyed - the meat was tender and not at all stringy or dry. Definitely recommend if you like lamb. As above service is very good and it's a nice restaurant with some cool tropical fish tanks in the walls. Kind of reminds me of the Purple Pakora in Poynton. Overall this is yet another good restaurant in the independent Hazel Grove scene (we commented on Friday that the chains have not moved in here, which is maybe why there is such diversity and quality) and I will be sure to come back.

The environment is nice too, comfortable booths and there's a large event space upstairs. The menu is extensive and includes all the classic Indian dishes as well as a wide selection of fish but we both tried balti dishes which seems to be a house speciality. I had the Balti Akbori which was nice but a bit too sweet for me. My Poynton-based person of interest had the Balti exotica which contains many different types of meat, so many that he said that if this was 100 years ago, only a literal king would have such a diet. Worth a go but we probably won't rush back right away. It's very popular with others though.

Parking is easy at a car park opposite which is free in the evenings and I think its pay and display during the day, although I can't say that with any certainty.

This is kind of a classic somewhat upmarket suburban Italian restaurant…read more We were initially going to be squeezed between some other tables but requested to be sat by the window instead which was pretty nice. I had scallops to start. They were fine but, I don't know, maybe I should stop ordering scallops. The problem is once you've had really good ones it's never the same and also it's NEVER ENOUGH. That guy had pork spare ribs to start which were enormous. He was basically full after he finished them. He then had an even more enormous calzone, which he said was a bit soggy and struggled to finish. He was fake/not so fake offended by the waiter calling him a 'bambino.' Meanwhile, I got the risotto buongusto because I now automatically order anything involving truffles because of this amazing meal I had once at Salt Yard in London. Predicatably, it was not on that level but fine none the less. Basically does what it says on the tin, and the mains in particular are very reasonably priced.

Authentic Italian with a few specialty items I have never seen on other Italian menus before. They will make your food whoever you want it, you just have to ask. The server was almost insulted to think that we would not order our food the way we would like it. Definitely a gem of a restaurant here in Poynton, a must try.
