I always eat here before a performance at the nearby Palace Theatre. This is the best Italian restaurant in the City Centre and booking is essential to avoid disappointment. The welcome is genuine and you are made to feel that your visit is treasured. I pushed the boat out and went a-la carte. Starter: Caprese salata with avocado . Delicious! Main: Pasta especiale with Tiger prawns Norwegian shrimps and the most superb sauce I’ve ever tasted! Compliments were sent to the kitchen! I asked for Afogato to finish: this was truly a work of art! Ice cream, espresso coffee and a shot of Amaretto - bliss! Wine was Pino Grigio rosé and was perfect with this meal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ E.H.

Excellent Italian Restaurant in great location. Fabulous interior which was lively on early Saturday evening which created a nice atmosphere. Service was first class and we were well looked after. We had one 2 course and one 3 course meal with pre dinner drinks, one glass of wine and one cocktail for £150 inc 12.5% service and we thought this was good value. Would definitely recommend. We have previously eaten in their London Knightsbridge restaurant which was also excellent.

We moved to Ancoats after first trying Bruco, we loved the area after dining here the first time back in 2025 and we keep coming back…the new menu additions are next level good!
