Piccolo Italian Restaurant & Bar - Comfy seating area at the front

Piccolo Italian Restaurant & Bar

Great to have an alternative to the 4 Indian restaurants in Gatley!…read more Piccolo has an interesting split level layout, with a mezzanine floor and cosy screened areas with sofas, where you can enjoy a more relaxed meal or drinks. They have entertainment some nights and whilst that would normally put me off, they got the volume and style right and it worked for them. The food is reasonably priced and well put together. We had calimari and ribs to start, followed by prawn risotto and Vesuvio pizza. The service is attentive, although for me just a little lacking in finesse sometimes, just seems like some of the staff are a little inexperienced. I've been here 3 times, and overall Piccolo for me is a high 3 out of 5 stars and it's been improving each time I visit.

We went to visit our friends who've moved to Gatley and they picked this Italian restaurant which…read moreis a short walk away. The restaurant has a live jazz singer on Friday and Saturday nights too. We came on a Saturday night and it was very busy - lucky we had booked. The menu was exciting and contained items we don't usually see in the chain Italian restaurant. For examples, I got the bruschetta with avocado, tomatoes and crab meat drizzled with pesto - every tasted good except I'm not a fan of plate decoration with balsamic glaze when it doesn't go with the dish. For my main, I ordered the tagliatelle with prawns and asparagus in a creamy tomato sauce, which was gorgeous! Unfortunately, we had no room for pudding but we had a sneak peek and they also looked good! Next time! The atmosphere was great and the restaurant is a fantastic space with seating at various levels inside the building which used to be a church, I think. The jazz singer was good but it could be awkward at times when you're eating and she's singing at you, so if this isn't your kind of thing, come on another night!

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 havent been in since the makeover. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside in the sunshine…read more Tables and decor were immaculate and we chose a spot under the open roof. We got drink orders straight away and were presented with all new menus and a menu for what is going on there in the month of may whixh was very informative. My sister ordered lasagne and chips which she said was great and i had sea food skewers which were fresh although the tuna well done. The setting is lovely as os the service the food a hit too. The waiter was a bit strange and its not a cheap restaurant for a pizzeria hence dropping a star

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!
