Went here this evening with my little boy, it was quiet but it was only 5.45pm! Had a lovely meal,…read morereally enjoyed my spaghetti carbona and I'm sucker for garlic bread and this was delicious. So much so that the leftovers we brought home were eaten almost immediately. He had a pizza and they were kind enough to point out that the salami they use on pizzas is spicy so they brought a side dish for him to try it (he loved it). Pudding was tiramisu and was great, I like mine not too strong on the coffee and this delicious. We'll be back to try more of the menu!

6 of us dined here on Tuesday evening, and absolutely loved it. Food and service were all excellent…read moreand prices were very reasonable for the quality. We had a mixture of starters , including mussels, ribs - truly amazing, the sauce was delicious, garlic flatbread, and sardines which were one of the specials that evening. Plates all cleared we started on mains which included steaks, chicken, veal, lasagna and the gluten free spaghetti with spicy arrabiata sauce, again all clean plates. We shared a dessert as everyone was full, it was supposed to be sticky toffee pudding but was actually a chocolate lava cake, glad it ended up as that as it was absolutely amazing. The owner who was our server was great fun, brought humor to the table and was very humble when praised for the excellent service and food. Will definitely be back when I'm next in the area.

I went last night for the early bird menu - £9.95 for 2 courses, 12.95 for 3 courses (up to 7pm)…read more The selection on the early bird menu was excellent, and all 3 courses were delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, and my friends and I had a lovely evening. Its always busy, so I'm glad we booked, and I would definately go back again.

A strange experience in a restaurant that I have always wanted to go to. I am coming back here in…read moretwo weeks but I thought best to write down this experience. 2nd January and we've been cooking for 20 people after staying away and celebrating NYE with friends. We came back to a cold, wet Manchester and decided to go to Linguine and try and get a table. I walk past this restaurant many times a week and there are always people in it and often very busy. We got there after 6.30pm and was told by the Manager that our table was required by 8pm, after looking at his tablet again, we had to be out by 7.30pm. Not sure how many covers there are but there were only four other tables taken. We sit down, tucked by the bar area and look at the menu. I asked a waiter which wine goes well with seafood and was given an idiots guide to the wine menu. His was Italian and his English wasn't good so I opted for a house white. Our food was served by another waiter as I wasn't sure whether the earlier gentleman was just a barman. We didn't have to wait long for our seafood pasta and pizza. The food came and it tasted very good. Unfortunately, I did not take photos as our service wasn't as friendly as I would have liked. The manager served our food. We ate our tasty food and kept looking around and seeing not many other customers arrive and wondering why he would lie about all the tables being occupied. We were dressed smart/casual for a Saturday night. Sadly, we didn't have any starters or desserts as we were very time conscious which also ruined our experience of the food. We asked for the bill, paid less than 10% tip and went over the road to the local Co-op to buy dessert and walked home feeling disappointed that we felt rushed and would have preferred to have dined in a different restaurant or got takeaway. As mentioned earlier, I am hoping for a better experience when I return in a couple of weeks time.

He was like John Cleese on speed! The whole place needs to 'calm it down' so we can enjoy our own company and not be shouted over by the staff. I love the English way, calm, discreet, bit miserable sometimes but soooooooo quiet.

A little gem of authentic Italy in Culcheth. Just like a traditional trattoria, they serve all of…read morethe UKs favourite Italian dishes with big portions full of flavour. The pizzas are divine, I would highly reccommend the calzone as a main... or as a sharing starter a garlic bread with tomato (or cheese if you prefer) and it is a must to ask for a side order of the spare-rib sauce - all the locals do! The spare-ribs are mouthwateringly fingerlickingly good! I love the atmosphere created by the owners, Santo and Rios - the open kitchen with Italian accents flying around and the down to earth approach of service - it's not fancy high class service it's just real! For a true Italian experience you must visit Don Luigi.

Saporito is a little surprise tucked away in Withington. One could be forgiven for walking past…read morethis small Italian restaurant but it's well worth the visit. The selection of food is amazing, they have the most pasta dishes I've seen at an Italian, for a long time, if not ever. The prices are also modest and the food far surpasses the price. The pizzas all looked great and the small bit I tried was delicious but I had the pasta however, which is where I think it really excels. My choice was the spinach ravioli which was absolutely amazing, I would not have been disappointed for twice the price. The house red wine is gorgeous by anyone's standards, I've paid a whole lot more for a whole lot less. The place itself is fairly small but with tables for parties of all sizes with quick and efficient service. You'll be wanting to keep this one to yourself, it's a hidden gem.

Unfortunately we then detonated our bill by foolishly ordering wine by the glass after the first bottle, eventually ordering what was essentially a third bottle. I rather hoped the management might decide to charge us for three bottles but alas no. Error. Meanwhile, calamari and garlic prawn starters, while not earth shattering, were enjoyable. I wasn't crazy about my sea bass main but it was pretty good. I also liked the pizza we eventually got as it turned into dinnertime (yes, we were there a while). Piccolino has a good outdoor terrace which now has a cover presumably meaning it will be in use all year round and in all of Manchester's terrible weather. What really made the experience for me was the great wait staff who were consistently charming and attentive over very many hours and provided us with exacting the kind of relaxing convivial atmosphere two long separated gal pals needed to catch up!
