Came for the three course lunch. Hadn't read any reviews prior as we wanted it to be our experience. From the off made to feel very welcome, sat at a table and drinks brought quickly. Food arrived not long after and it was all delicious. I had the Prawns (Umi) and Mrs L had Gordon's Fried Chicken (Tochi). Fantastic, fresh food prepared and presented exactly as we'd have hoped. Will definitely be going again. Oh and the glass of fizz was excellent.

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.

A wonderful experience. Beautiful architecture, attentive staff, and exquisite food. Special mention to the french gentlemen waiter who made us feel very welcome, and provided something is too often overlooked; a genuine friendly smile. Also the two gentlemen staff in reception who engaged with our curiosity in the history of the building.

I recently reserved a table at Cibo Manchester for a work group, and we had a fantastic experience. Although the restaurant was very busy, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, which really added to the evening. The food was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in the group, and what stood out most was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly attentive throughout the meal, ensuring everything ran smoothly despite how busy the restaurant was. Their friendly and professional approach made us feel well looked after from start to finish. The ambience was excellent, creating the perfect setting for a work gathering. Thank you to the whole team for making our evening so enjoyable. We will certainly be back! Highly recommended for both group bookings and special occasions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Everything about this place is top notch! Service was impeccable and the food & drink certainly matched. The feel and vibe of the place was a lot more relaxed than I expected whilst still feeling special, with a high standard and quality. Can't wait to return! 10/10 👌🏼

    Got there early and was allowed to wait at the table for the rest of the party to turn up. Service was incredible and all staff were very polite. Food is as good as the first time I went and will happily go back again.
