Babbo in Bury

Lovely Sunday lunch but would like some roast potatoes . Nice welcoming staff

Delicious dinner, the carbonara was especially great. Will definitely be back. The new menu changes are great!

Lovely evening with family, food was great Staff very polite, very clean establishment. Will definitely return again in the future xx

Great food, cozy place, great place with relaxing atmosphere! Will come again often!

Restaurant was slightly cold due to the door being left open all evening. Lovely food and surprise dessert for husband who's birthday we were celebrating. Will definitely be back

All the food, service and environment are excellent. Highly recommended to come over and chill. Lots of space to park outside the restaurant.

We had another perfect evening here. The flavor was all exactly on point, everything cooked to perfection - the finest Italian we ever did eat 🍝 including the starter, mains (pizza and pastas) and of course dessert 🍨 The drinks were a treat!! We had an old fashioned, espresso martini and some baileys too. I can not recommend this restaurant enough!! It will always be our favorite to keep coming back to. The service was immaculate, the atmosphere is charming and the staff are all incredible 😍 Thank you for another wonderful time and for making us feel welcome! We'll be back soon!

The 🐐 of Italians in prestwich! The name changed but the owners didn't and neither has the amazing food a must try!!!

The food was fantastic, the service was phenomenal, and the general atmosphere was great. I highly recommend it if you'd like to eat some authentic and delicious Italian food.

A great place. Lovely friendly attentive staff The food what was lovely but sadly the portion size was ridiculously small on the duck. Two pieces the size of a medium chip and a puree that was runny. Our starters were bigger Being the most expensive dish Our waiter said he would have a word with the chef. The plate should never have left the kitchen We did get a discount and one free desert A real shame because the other food was lovely We haven't given up and will return for another meal

8 of us here on a week night, the decor is lovely and the staff are friendly and welcoming. They have a nice selection of wines at reasonable prices, we had the Valpolicella Ripasso which was gorgeous (£27, and hangover free the next day 😉) the tomato garlic bread was nice, but the calamari was chewy. For mains 2 of us had the monkfish wrapped in Parma ham and were disappointed, bland and watery. The rest had pasta, chicken and beef medallions and it was all ok, though nothing to write home to mamma about. Including drinks it came to £276. 10% service charge was automatically added, but luckily the service was excellent.

Good service, amazing food. My favourite local restaurant

First time at this restaurant, food excellent and the staff are very friendly.

We booked online last minute on a Sunday for 2 Adults and 3 Children for 18:30 and the booking was confirmed within minutes. On arrival, it is very welcoming, well laid out and overall a good experience from the start. Our table was just the right size for our party, already clean (well, clean everywhere) and our drinks order was taken soon after arriving. The menu offers everything you could want for an Italian restaurant and the waitress also asked the chef if they could prepare a dish not on the menu - a Caesar Salad. A quick yes was the response. Our order of Garlic bread was delivered on a raised circular frame in the middle of the table and accessible to everyone to help themselves, whilst allowing room on the table for the kids to keep colouring in their menus. The starter was delicious, just the right size and clearly hand made by the kitchen fresh. The main course of a Pepperoni Pizza was also just as delicious, as well as lobster ravioli and pizzas for the kids. We also had a Halloumi white base pizza - wasn't sure what a white base was but it came with no tomato base, just halloumi and chicken and it was incredibly delicious. We also had a couple of Peroni beers, but didn't venture into having wine although I could see the restaurant decor prides itself on some nice wines and other drinks too. I was overall very impressed. We did see a Sunday Roast being taken to another table and as I looked around, it caught the eye of many diners in the restaurant - It looked lovely !

We tried Babos last night and the food and service was excellent we will be returning again thank for wonderful night

Lovely food - great place for a family gathering - welcoming staff - excellent value!

Staff was lovely and food was amazing thank you.

Went for 1st time tonight. Couldn't fault atall. Great food . Good portion size and excellent staff . Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. Thanks.

Such a beautiful place, the staff were so kind, friendly and welcoming! The food and drinks were delicious, I couldn't stop eating! The tortellini alla babbo is quite possibly the nicest pasta dish I have ever had!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, food always top notch.

Great food good menu - helpful staff

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Can't wait to go back again. We all really enjoyed our lunch. I just need to find out now if they have a downstairs toilet/baby changing room, as the stairs are very steep.

Have they got a new chef? I went last month. I had a steak with fries. No garnish, just a steak in the middle of the plate. For £26 i would expect a garnish at least. The steak was dry.. I went again last night. The usual starter I have has changed. I had a pasta meal which was greasy and I couldn't eat it. We enjoy the entertainment but the food was well under par.

First time at Babbo last night. Will definitely be going back! We had the garlic bread with cheese to share, and then had Tortellini Alla Babbo which is one of the nicest things I've ever eaten! Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food was absolutely lovely and all very reasonably priced 😁

A definite must if visiting Manchester. Amazing food and service. We would definite come again, all the way from Somerset!

Babbo has never failed on great food, price and brilliant chef and staff. We had a lovely evening on a week night. Highly recommend the Lamb which my husband adored and Linguine Gamberoni is the best I ever had. Thanks guys for a great evening in your classy restaurant. Thanks chef 😋

I really liked the service, very good service and friendly staff, I really like this place and I always come back here again and recommend it to all my friends, my favorite is the shrimp pasta, I just love it, also very tasty cocktails and Lemoncella

Amazing food serve and atmosphere great staff

Have a wonderful time, the food was superb and great service, will definitely pop in again

In Manchester few days for a business trip, we discover this restaurant because on the way between hotel and work ..and become our first choice for every dinner. A very good place, the food was very good , specially “penne arrabbiata “ beautiful!! Also pizza was good and all other dishes…. Now we know where have a dinner for the next time in Manchester !!!

This was a lovely evening and excellent choice for my daughters birthday, the food was amazing and the service was what I expect, but don't always receive but here I couldn't fault it not in your face but polite and courteous, even brought a little birthday cake out for my daughter and everyone sang happy birthday even the other customers Would I recommend babbo, without hesitation. I will definitely be back. To the waiters thank you for great service and a pleasant evening.

Amazing food reasonable prices shame about screaming kids

Great food, service first class and very nice surroundings to eat and drink. Highly recommend

Great menu and very skillfully prepared food, everything was delicious

Best place to eat in manchester

Hidden gem in Mcr. Highly rcm for ppl who loves the authentic Italic foods. The most favourite place I chose for eating out. Friendly and nice environment. lovely staffs. 💯💙

We went to Babbo for a family meal last night. What amazing service & food. Highly recommend cant wait to return. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. Thank you!👌👌

Not a bad thing to say. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Really you should try Babbo .

This restaurant has recently been renovated and was very nice. The food was delightful and the service excellent.

Really lovely place, food was very nice! We went for late lunch, so it wasn't very busy, but I would definitely go back.

The best calzone I have eaten. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great Value for money and beautiful atmosphere.

The waiters were amazing especially the one from Chile and Calabria. For the food , garlic pizza is always amazing but I had the pasta courgette prawns and I didn't like it, zero courgettes and too much passata, was like eating passata pasta. Sorry I'm Italian so I need to complain 😂The pistacchio dessert was nice, music too loud as my little son is autistic was a bit too much for him I admit, but generally very friendly for this I give 4 stars. Xx

Gorgeous food, friendly welcoming staff and beautiful surroundings. Hidden gem. Would definitely recommend.

Authentic, clean and swift with a lovely cosy atmosphere.

Six of us and for three courses... every course was superb! Fresh pasta, very tasty sauces, steak cooked to perfection.

Delicious food, and a really comfortable atmosphere 🙂🏅

Great Sunday lunch. Food was really tasty and very good quality. Lovely staff, super friendly and helpful. The best Sunday lunch I’ve had for a long time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food and attentive, helpful staff

First time visit to Babbo after a lot of recommendations from friends. It certainly lived up to the recommendations. Various offers on. We had just missed out on the 2 course set menu. But we were happy with the fizzy Friday (Prosecco) bottle at £12.50. Our waiter tonight was Niall who couldn’t do enough for us - extremely helpful and polite. Food was fantastic. Well worth a visit. We will be back.

Just wonderful. They made a custom risotto for my vegan friend and I had the salmone. Most delicious espresso martini I've ever had and everything was INCREDIBLE. Waiters were polite, kind and attentive. Felt like a Michelin star experience with quick service and beautiful scenery.

The service and food we had tonight was really nice. The cocktails were one of the best I’ve had and we couldn’t fault any food, They made such an effort for us as we also celebrated a birthday. We would highly recommend and will certainly book again soon :)

Had a lovely meal for my granddaughters 13th birthday last Friday..food great..greatservice ..young man Nials 1st shift and he was so lovely ..smiley even though he went under when we applauded him he an asset to your restaurant as are all the staff that served us..

Lovely hidden Italian restuarant, great food,lovely attentive staff and a nice atmosphere,highly recommended the mac and cheese. Overall 10/10 would definitely go again

Visited here for the first time tonight even though we only live 10 mins away and we were so impressed! My fiancé prebooked our table in advance, we came with our 6 week old baby and we had no issues at all. All staff were really friendly and welcoming and the food and service was excellent. Paid approx £43 for 1 starter, 2 mains and 1 desert with a few soft drinks. Which in my opinion for a restaurant as nice as this was reasonable. We will definitely return on our next date night.

Excellent food and service. Fabulous night with a great atmosphere at one of the monthly tribute act nights.

Absolutely stunning restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was brilliant. The best Italian restaurant around!!!

Been a few times now. Food on point every time. Most recent visit I had garlic bread with tomatoes with Prawn Linguine for main; both excellent. Partner had Moussaka with bread and olives for starters. Will return again!

Visited for the first time and very impressed will definitely return. Food was lovely and service was excellent very friendly and professional staff. Our waiter was such a lovely young man made us feel so welcome. Only negative was toilets were upstairs and we had an elderly person with us. There may of been a more accessible toilet but luckily it was needed so didn't ask about this

I ordered a meal as a takeaway whilst working locally. The service was fast, friendly service and excellent food. I was so impressed I will be returning for a sit down meal next month.

Love the traditional menu. Jack was a great waiter, he couldn’t do anymore for us! More of the traditional Bruno menu!

Omg! Jack was amazing ! Great service, great chat an absolute fantastic member of the team. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good food well cooked the way it should be done my compliments to the chef m.wallwork

Two adults, two teens had a delicious Sunday treat here this eve. I went for peppery roast chicken from the Sunday lunch menu (an absolute taste sensation) husband had roast beef and the kids had pizza. Finished off with a chocolate and hazelnut dome. Clean plates and full tummies all round. Staff are attentive. We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing service. I was enjoying a coffee next door and popped in to order a pizza 🍕 to take away and the young waiter provided wonderful service. He took my order and delivered my pizza to me with the required payment method. Brilliant customer service and gorgeous pizza 🍕 THANKYOU X

Worst meal for a long time came within a couple of minutes after ordering must have been microwaved tasteless

Great restaurant with fresh food and tasty menu options. I ordered the Ham and mushroom pizza and my wife, the chicken kebab. Both were very good, tasted fresh and well cooked.

Absolutely beautiful food, great friendly service and lovely atmosphere

Lovely food! Excellent portion sizes! I loved the Gravlax and the fungi crostini. I had the salmon pasta for the main, it was lovely but the sauce was a bit too thin and lacked a bit of flavour but was still nice. Would definitely go back. 👍

Had a fab meal, great friendly service, will be back

We visited Babbo because they were having a Dolly Parton tribute act playing and it definitely didn’t disappoint! We were a large group of 18 people and had our own section of the restaurant which was lovely. We pre-ordered our food and despite being a large group and the restaurant being fully booked, it all arrived out in good time and we weren’t kept waiting. The food was delicious, was presented well and served in generous portions by staff who were efficient and friendly. The singer at the event was brilliant! Overall we had a great night and we wouldn’t hesitate to book a table here again.

Not the best. Food was super oily, took long to come out when it wasn’t too busy. We didn’t get a check back to explain we had the wrong side. Overall, 2/5. Hate giving bad reviews but we we’re left feeling unimpressed and not worth 60 if we didnt have 25% off

Really lovely resterant, delightful staff,Food ,,service ,very good and reasonable priced ,,Well worth a visit,,,Parking guite difficult ,,

We had a family meal here last night and, I have to say we were all very impressed. We tried a wide range of the dishes available. Eight of us all had something different in starters and mains and everything was delicious and well presented. The decor and atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were very efficient. I will definitely tell my friends and will certainly eat there again in the future.

Really nice cosy Italian. Great service and food and well priced

My friends surprised me with a 50th birthday lunch celebration and it was fab. The food was tasty, the drinks were flowing and the hosts were amazing, they couldn't do enough for us. I was well and truly spoilt. Their hospitality was fabulous and I will definitely be going back.

Brilliant meal and restaurant! My parents came up for Easter weekend and we needed a last minute booking after another restaurant double booked us. Luckily, Babbo Cucina Italiana had room for us, and we ended up having a great meal on a Saturday evening. The place was decorated nicely, staff were friendly and attentive, and the meal was smartly presented / well filling. Will definitely come back and perhaps even try a takeaway pizza. Would recommend!

Very good great place for families

We came here for my birthday, the restaurant was filling up quickly (it was almost 8:00 pm on Wednesday) but luckily they managed to get us in. The place, the wonderful staff and the food were all brillant making my special day even more memorable. Also, I was even given a nicely decorated dessert at the end to celebrate the day. Thank you for the amazing service! We would definitely recommend this place and will be going again soon!

A large group booking with little notice. We pre ordered our food choices, on arrival the staff were great, getting us drinks and our food was ready! Excellent quality, tasty food, extremely helpful and polite staff. 5 star and will definitely return! Thank you for a fantastic meal.

Really good food and friendly staff

We’ve visited twice this month and been very impressed both times. The manager is friendly and all staff are attentive. We’ve had a mixture of starters, pizzas and pastas recently and never had any issues. It’s a shame the place isn’t busier but for us it is a little on the expensive side so we can’t visit as often as we would like now the 50% off has ended.

Good value lunchtime menu. Service was very good. Feb 2003 - Staff were lovely but they need to be trained to act at the right time e.g. when you've just finished a drink or a plate of food, the server is on top of you right away. That's not relaxing for the diner. Hope this helps as the rest of the experience was very good.

Adorable place, perfect service, delicious food. I’m satisfied 100%. Employees are very polite and friendly. ❤️

Been here on a couple of occasions now and the service is always impeccable and the food is to die for. I think it’s great value for money and everyone I’ve been with has also thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be back & I recommend that anyone takes the time to visit too! Thanks Babbo ☺️

Excellent service and excellent food

Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious and service to match. Would definitely recommend.

Place look mint , not just because I'm helping building it !!

Lovely traditional approach to making you feel special. New Mediterranean menu that includes loads of lovely and interesting food.

Really lovely place, with interesting Mediterranean food.

Excellent food and service. Staff very friendly.will definitely visit again.

Really lovely food, and great staff

Had to prompt staff to take our order, Had to prompt staff for our drinks, Had to prompt staff for water. Apart from this the food was very nice and well presented. I had a feeling there service would be poor when i noticed un ironed shirts. The food it self was very nice, We would have had a pudding but the staff didn't ask if we wanted on or even ask if we wanted another drink or coffee. but like i said the food was nice

Lovely place we found as somewhere to eat on our way to a show at the Arena. Easy access off the M62. Food delicious, atmosphere and venue modern and fresh and the whole team really friendly. Food amazing. Highly recommended. UPDATE: We'll be going back as we've just booked another show at the Arena. See you again soon.

Lovely evening dinner with amazing food and not rushed, so plenty of time between courses to relax and chat. Perfectly cooked food and Italian wines to match; delightful aperatif and digestif plus coffee too. Highly recommended.

Very nice place . Servicing fast and amazing 😍

Really nice food and lovely staff!

Atmosphere, friendly service and great food

Food was sooo tasty and service top notch! We ordered prawn linguine and a calzone, both were incredibly tasty. The staff here are so helpful and friendly and really do try their best to accommodate to everyone. The interior is also beautiful and clean. There was a slight mix up with the bill and a few items on there that we never had but this mistake was soon rectified. I look forward to returning :)

So first time here. I ordered the liver pate was really tasty, but not enough bread for the amount of pate and jelly...my son ordered the king prawn starter, was okay but sauce was too salty so he picked prawns out and ate them without the soaked bread and sauce. Now here's the crux. I ordered a carbonara. Which is my favourite and i have ordered 100 times before in various restaurants. This time i was told by the possible owner of the restaurant, that the carbonara has pork. I said yes i know. My son and i are brown. I said i am Sikh. I know Muslims dont eat pork and i can only assume he pointed it out to ME specifically because he thought i dont eat pork. He then went on explaining that oh i like to make sure my customers ate happy and know blah blah blah. I watched people come in after us, order and not have the ingredients clarified for them. I didnt want to make a fuss because my son is only 12 and did not pick up on the clear racism, implying that if we are muslim we cannot eat the dish. Assuming we are muslim because im brown and my son is a haircut sikh. We ate our carbonara which he split into 2 plates as if he was doing us a massive favour (my son and i would just have shared from one bowl, as we had starters and neither of us are big eaters) but ok never mind. I was left with a feeling of unease and after that found it hard to relax. We ate and packed our dessert order, paid and left. I doubt i will go back, which is a shame, because my husband and other 3 children all live very locally and would have liked a good local italian. But as they all look like me and my 12 year old son, i dont want to be given unsolicited advice about what i may or may not be allowed to eat based on my skin colour.
