Manchester isn't short of an Italian restaurant, as far as they go Per Tutti is OK…read more It is very modern inside and the staff are very friendly. I checked out the menu and decided to order the poached egg and asparagus as a starter, which was very good! The egg yolk was runny and the asparagus was perfectly seasoned and cooked very well. My main course, the one I was most looking forward to, I was a little disappointed with. I ordered the lamb meatball tagliatelle and found the meatballs very dry and chewy. The sauce and the pasta were good, but the meatballs really let the dish down. I would recommend this place - as i found it excellent value for money. Just maybe i'll try a pizza next time!

A modern and fresh environment although our table was quite close to a neighboring table of four…read moreloud larger than life ladies! Totally independent owned and operated by a husband and wife team for just over a year now. They clearly have got this right from a customers point of view. For starters we ordered a garlic tomato pizza bread and chorizo in red wine. Both very tasty when we actually ordered another chorizo, must say its the tastiest one I have ever had. For main I had corn fed chicken with fries salad and home made onion rings! The desert was nice but again from a limited choice of options which I wasn't bothered over either way tbh. All staff were friendly polite and had an apparent genuine approach. The guy who I thought was the manager was actually the owner, again friendly and customer focused. Most certainly would recommend this place! Tbh I was in debate as to 4 or 5 stars, decided on 4 purely on the table arrangement where I was sat and in my opinion of course, the limited choice menu for mains and deserts. (Wish I could give half stars and this would have been 4.5)

The Hale Kitchen is a nice smart place but very busy on a Friday. Don't think it's decided whether…read moreit is bar or a restaurant so when we arrived for dinner we were surrounded by a rowdy crowd at the bar. This meant that our dining experience wasn't as relaxed as it could have been. The service was very friendly and attentive and the menu looked good. I ordered the mushrooms to start which were presented well but were a little tasteless my husband liked his goat cheese tarts but felt it would have been nice if they'd come with chutney. The fish and chips were a hit for main but my sea bass was rather dry and lacked flavour. The dessert we shared toffee and pecan cheesecake was the best course of the night. Overall an average experience. Think it might be best to try this place at a quieter time in the week.

Sensational. Simple, fresh, tasty menu (no jalapeño-chipotle-mayo-with…read moreprawn-mango-chutney-cranberry aioli). Attentive service without being overbearing. Everything was "yes, we can do that." Went on a Sunday afternoon with kids and they loved it. Buffalo sauce is great (had on on the chicken burger, off menu). Calamari is great. Would appear to be a very good place for grown-ups in the evening. Simple, elegant décor. Very tasteful and hip without being gauche. One television with the football on, perfect balance to be able to watch the game without being in a rambunctious pub/sports bar. My guess is it was the proprietor who took care of us for the first half of our meal and my wife said, "mmmm, he's handsome, too." That I could have done without but, overall, 7 out of 5 and we will be back regularly.

Gusto Italian is a small chain with 18 restaurants across the UK, mainly in the North West (just…read moreunder 50% of their locations are here). I visited Gusto having been impressed with their menu online, offering multiple gluten-free dishes, mainly in regards to their risotto as sadly they fail to offer gluten-free pizza and pasta. The main enterance is up a couple of steps but there is a phone number outside where someone can contact a staff member, where they'd be able to go around the back enterance where there is a lift, but this step-free access is constructed rather poorly as after exiting a stairlift (one of the ones you have to open/close the door yourself and hold the button down) there are multiple chairs in the way, possibly for storage which in my opinion is stupidity and a disgrace as it blocks off the only way you can get in/out of the restauraunt without steps. The staff seemed rather slow during my visit, I was placed in the far corner near the back exit and I felt forgotten about, even after shouting a passing staff member on multiple occasions I was ignored to the point whenever I needed a staff member I had to walk around the restauraunt until I managed to find someone - which again isn't good enough. I ordered the saffron risotto with a ragu with it being displayed on the menu as gluten-free, however even though the menu stated the dishes I could and could not eat, the staff member continued to waste time by checking it in an allergen folder which still displayed all the same information as the menu which was rather pointless. When my food did arrive, it was extremely dissapointing, it was so bland, this is probably the first time I've ever ordered risotto in a restauraunt and had to season it myself, it was terrible and a little dry. Not only that, it tasted like they had added nothing else to the risotto to give it a little bit of flavour and really bring out the saffron, perhaps some onion or mushroom would have been nice, maybe a little bit of garlic and/or chilli but even that seemed too much to ask for what is supposed to be an Italian restauraunt. The only part of my meal which was actually seasoned was the ragu, but the meat its-self was rather chewy and the staff members couldn't tell me the three types of meat it consisted of as it stated they used three on the menu. To make matters worse they also tried to overcharge me - despite confirming the 50% offer multiple times, I was still charged full price, this was after a longer than average wait to pay in the first place. Again, I'm struggling to find any good things to say about Gusto Italian from issues with the speed of service to the point I felt forgotten, topped off by the staff trying to overcharge me for food which was probably the worst risotto I've had in an Italian restauraunt (in close competition with San Carlo Fumo nearby in St Peter's Square), I sadly feel Gusto Italian isn't even worth it at 50% off and the restauraunt located just off Deansgate deserves a single-star.

After a casual game of Mini golf we decided to come here....mainly for the cocktails…read more.. Greeted by a nice lady we were seated immediately...this place offers a menu like Burger King except with ribs and sweet potato fries. The waiter Jonny was lovely and enthusiastic , however I felt he was being like this to compensate for what was to come next.. For starters we munched on some mozerilla dippers definitely from Iceland...tasty but not made from scratch... For the mains..wow...I'm.glad I chose to swap the rice for sweet potato fries! These were good..but my quesadilla brought tears to my eyes...and not tears of joy....this was a deconstructed greasy samosa.. Not pleasant at all...expect I was so hungry..i ate what I could...my friend had the burger...which looked pitiful. I would have taken a picture but my camera could not take it any more! The cocktails were average, you could choose a small or large costing up to £9.50..I probably enjoyed the glace cherry more... Overall, service was fantastic however the food seems to worsen every time I go to a TGI's. The drinks are overly expensive, and the food is expensive for essentially poor quality fast food. As for cocktails they are as tacky as the decor...if you come to the Trafford Centre go to the Thai Chow Pryer instead... This place does not cook things from fresh..definitely a place for mums that shop at Iceland but can't be bothered to go home and unpack their shopping.

TGI Fridays is one of those places that I only seem to go if I'm really trying not to have anything…read moretoo bad to eat. This is always a huge mistake, as the only thing that they seem to do is huge portions of food that, if there was any justice in the world, could give you a heart attack just by looking at it! Given that they are all the same, the TGIs in the Trafford Centre is absolutely no exception to this. In addition to the huge portions, the restaurant is pretty big too, with a couple of floors and loads of seating. The walls are plastered with all kinds of memorabilia, film and otherwise. I was quite happy to see the Boba Fett helmet on the wall, and they also have a life size astronaut! Now, onto the important stuff. As I mentioned, the portions are huge, and they generally all come with fries, although the TGI website does helpfully point out that they will swap these out for salad if you ask - not something that they readily advertise once you're there. That said, a small concession like a salad probably won't do you much good when faced with a behemoth of a steak (char-grilled of course), or a burger that's easily the size of your stomach, if not your face. There are the regular items of American fayre that you'd expect; burgers, fried chicken and steak all feature heavily, but there are other options. There's a tapas-y twist to some of the smaller dishes, with a deal on for 3 or 5. Picking up three would be great for one person, whilst 5 is enough for two. If you go down that road, I'd recommend the pretzels with Sam Adams cheese dip. This tastes almost exactly like warm Dairylea, but is oddly moreish - you'll hate yourself for liking it. If you go for anything meaty, you should definitely make sure that you have something with the Jack Daniels sauce or glaze. This is a smokey, sweet sauce, which has a little bit of spice to it, and doesn't really taste anything like Bourbon (which is a good thing, given that I can't stand Jack Daniels normally). You won't find it hard to come across something that you could have this with, given that you can get it on steak, chicken, prawns, and even salmon! As you would expect, at the weekends, and during the holidays, you can expect this place to be packed, with loads of kids about (it seems to be a popular place for birthdays, with no less than three renditions of the birthday song in the hour that we were there). So, don't go if you like it quiet. If you don't mind a bit of atmosphere, which I suppose you wouldn't, being in the Trafford Centre already, it's not too bad. Finally, a word on price - for what you get, this isn't the cheapest place to eat - most of the mains are in at between £10 and £20, with most hovering in the middle, but, for the occasional treat, it's not too bad. So, in summary, TGIs seems to be a great place to go if you're really in the mood for a slice of faux Americana, with a pretty decent selection of food and drink, with friendly staff and interesting things to look at if you get a bit bored of the conversations. TGIF indeed.
