Berretto Lounge in Stockport

Food was awful, I had a slightly spiced chicken in breadcrumbs, outside was totally over cooked chicken so dry, about a teaspoon of coleslaw, plus in a little dish skinny fries, I had eight. We were going to the theatre after, or would of definately complained. £12.50 would never go again, prices ridiculous and chappy, crappy food, YUK YUK YUK.

Good food in a comfortable friendly atmosphere.

They refused to bring plates for our birthday cake. Birthday ruined. We went out as a family for my girlfiends birthday meal and couldn’t enjoy her birthday cake together. Terrible.

Give full stars as the food is great, staff are great and the atmosphere is chilled. My only problem is the price of the food. Quite expensive for what you get.

Food here was lovely, not keen on the QR code ordering etc felt very impersonal....set out like a restaurant but felt more like a bar. Great for a quick bite before the cinema or theatre.

Very busy, but the service was excellent, the food was very good

Excellent food, service and aesthetic of the place. Rustic, warm and welcoming. Always get a service with a smile 😊☺️

Always lovely food and friendly and helpful staff.

Really nice place,excellent service and the breakfast was lovely.

As all the lounges..shabby chic at its best. Comfortable, friendly. Fast service..very welcoming and amazing breakfasts..Tapas brilliant....what more can l say...try it....

Food was tasty, with unique and tasty sauces/dressings that made each tapas and meal taste unique. Churros sauces could be more authentic chocolate, quite a synthetic taste of bottled chocolate sauce. Service was great and staff very friendly. Atmosphere could do with some work, especially if you have children, needs some colouring in things etc.

It was my mum's birthday and she asked me to decide somewhere to go. I have previously gone to a Lounge and so had she so I suggested this one hoping it would be just as good. It was fantastic! My partner and I had the vegan burrito which was delicious!! And then had the semifreddo - also great! It was absolutely packed at Saturday 1pm and the staff were incredibly busy but they let us know they were getting round to us and got us seated after only a short wait. They let us know food would take a while which was considerate and nice. My family members enjoyed various food and drinks and it was a nice atmosphere. We hung around a while because one member arrived and ate late but the staff were polite - didn't try and get rid of us, just took our used plates and glasses quickly so they could be used for the next customers. It is clearly a very popular restaurant and so it should be!

Great staff, all pleased to help. Will go again and again. The food is always great and tasty.

Great service. Had a date here and they were ever so nice

Our first visit from Leeds. Certainly won't be our last. We loved it!!!!

Lovely cozy lounge, really enjoy coming here. Very tasty food and beverage😋

Edit: gone down hill a bit, food wasn't impressed with, I'm still looking for the brisket in the chilli?? Wouldn't recommend the tapas not good value for money Old review underneath. Food and service was brilliant

Enjoyed a lovely relaxed lunch with a friend. Great food and excellent service plus sitting outside on a lovely sunny day ! Many thanks and I would definitely recommend you gift it a try .....I will certainly be a returning customer x

I've been eating here for years and it's always been top quality service and food. Maybe the most reliable place in Stockport to eat

Excellent choices of food, very good quality, priced well for what we had!

It’s an atmospheric place with great food, but I have noticed that the quality of the food varies depending on the day of the week.

The food and drinks are fab! But the customer service is something else! Next level and can’t do enough for you! Very welcoming and accommodating with pets which is just amazing!

fantastic service, fantastic food and super friendly staff. we brought our miniature dachshund with us and he, too, was treated like royalty! dog treats, water, puppacino and lots of attention and affection! would definitely go there again and would recommend it to anyone! thank you so much!

Massive food menu with so many options. Still very nice

We were recommended this restaurant by some people in the street, we were not disappointed. The staff were the best bit of this place closely followed by the lovely food and pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend.

Visiting Stockport with my 3 year old, had this place recommended when I stayed at the Travelodge and so pleased it was. Vegan menu is amazing, food and coffee I couldn't fault, fresh and delicious. Great service and very kid friendly - colouring and other touches like kids being brought houmous pot with carrot and breadsticks while waiting for food. Came back for brunch the next day.

What a lovely experience we had tonight 13/07/24, if you were working tonight thank you were very hospital. The food was extremely well cooked and you were very busy! hats of to the kitchen staff, I do visit regularly and always find it a pleasant affordable experience.

It's fine. The staff were good here.

Delicious food, attentive and friendly service. Good value and I loved the decor throughout. Plenty of vegetarian options available.

A lovely restaurant in the middle of Stockport. Walk-in and just simply order from the waitresses or scan a QR code at your table. Staff is wonderful and even helped us save a little bird! Food is wonderful and freshly made!

First time here today was meeting an old friend. Food really nice and staff lovely and friendly. The only criticism would be it was only lunchtime but the music was really loud and we struggled to hear each other. Is it necessary? it seems to be a big problem everywhere you go nowadays there's loud music being played. I did mention it to a member of staff but she said it was her first day so not sure whether she passed it on. Probably not as it was never turned down. I don't mind a bit of background music but most places don't get it right. Shame as it's a really nice place but I wouldn't meet in there again i'd find somewhere nice and quiet so we can chat.

I've been here multiple times and the staff are always friendly. They have a vegan and a gluten free menu for those with dietary requirements. Have taken many family and friends here and everyone always enjoys their meal and the atmosphere!

Great place staff really friendly. Slight hiccup with the order but rectified straight away no problem. I'll definitely return Thank you.

Very friendly staff, super food and the drinks are sound, reasonably priced as well

Q code ordering that is always a red flag. Food was weatherspoons quality but without the cheap price. Food took ages even though it wasn't busy and was microwave food. Gender fluid staff. Flat cola. Tasted like rola cola.

Food was contaminated with other food

Food is decent enough and there's a good selection of drinks available.

What Absolutely lovely staff. A credit to you. Food was delicious two of us had Tuesday tapas with a drink for £12.50. One had bang bang chicken and one had buttermilk chicken with slaw and fries. Was a really great night. Thank you and to the fantastic kitchen staff who never really get a mention but hold it together. Table booked for next week. X

Wouldn't go anywhere else for a family brunch. Regularly visit with our toddler and dog - we are always welcome and allergies are catered for extremely well. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Update: now our family has grown - adding a 6 month old to the mix - we are still just as welcome and accommodated here.

Lovely place, food tasty and good admosfere!! 👍

Nice food but nothing that special, didn’t have to wait that long. Ordered a side portion of onion rings to share, £2.35 thought you’d get a decent amount, but you only get 3 onion rings!

I visited last week after some plans changed and I am soooo glad I did. I had the Harissa chicken flatbread. It was absolutely amazing, I would highly recommend it. As always the staff were very professional and friendly.

I have listed the berretto lounge on many occasions. I have tried the breakfast and the lunch/tea menu. The food is always yummy. Never have a complaint. There is lots to choose from, including vegan and different dietary requirement meals. There is a large variety of drinks too. The atmosphere can be loud when the place is busy, but just the same as any place. The decor is crazy, with lots of different style chairs, lampshades and pictures. My only criticism is that you can't pre-book a table 😞

Overall, an indubitably splendid place to dine with the comrades. I got the tapas. My comrade got the tapas too. It was interesting to marvel at the idiosyncratic paintings. I swear I saw an elephant in one of them.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat, and the decor is smart and unique too. Always eat here, and the staff are so warm, helpful and friendly. The food is top quality too. Awesome spot. 9/10 👌👌

We came here on a whim for brunch and it was a delightful experience. Drinks were quick and the food was delicious. I had the shakshuka and he had the breakfast english muffin. Really lovely atmosphere and decor and the staff were very accommodating. Will defo be coming back to try the rest of the menu

It's a good lounge, you can't go wrong with a lounge really.

Staff were very accommodating. Food was excellent. Good size portions. Will have to return as there are so many menu options 😋.

was really looking forward to my meal here and it was awful! me and my friends came for a meal and i ordered sharing tapas and a cauliflower curry, as i am a vegetarian. we assumed the tapas would come out before the meal, we were wrong! 45 minutes after ordering the tapas and my main arrived at the same time. When i went to eat my cauliflower curry, i noticed there was pieces of chicken in it, my boyfriend tried it and said it was 100% chicken. We advised a member of staff who told us that it was not chicken, he then offered me a fresh version. When this arrived it had obviously been microwaved and the lady who brought it over told us that what i thought was chicken was pineapple! Pineapple and chicken are completely different! There was no apology offered at all from any member of staff - appalling.

Food was ok. Good customer service. DECO was amazing.!

Great place to grab some food and catch up with friends. Easy to get there and accessible, also free parking after 6pm!

Lots of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian choices. I will definitely come back. Highly recommend the strawberry coconut milkshake 🤤 Those who ordered burgers and chips got their food faster, so if it's busy and you're a stravin' marvin' opt for that. We waited over an hour for our food, if not more- however, it was extremely busy and there was bound to be a queue, especially because we went during the lunch time rush and when there was an event on.

Really nice place. Hot chocolate is gorgeous Just wish they'd make them more chocolatey

lovely food * great service * smiles of all the staff * i think the manager is called wendy * she makes it buzz in there .👍👍

good dog friendly place with a good range of food. no draught bitter but draught cider.

I’ve been to this restaurant a number of times. With my partner as a couple. And I’ve took my elderly mother and young son on a number of occasions. I cannot recommend this restaurant more. I’ve had excellent service and excellent food. Even on one occasion when my food was being delayed, I didn’t even realise until the manageress came over and offered me a free drink to apologise. Great service great restaurant.

The restaurant itself is wonderful the decor and fixtures very eclectic and leads to a wonderful cosy ambience. The food was spectacular could not fault it Will definitely return and highly recommend!!

Today, we enjoyed a meal for 20 volunteers from a local community project (Friendly Fridays) and we had the best time! From booking the table for such a large group, organising food orders ahead of time, to turning up to our reserved tables, everything was very straightforward. The service was excellent, especially considering the size of our party! Our food arrived all at the same time, beautifully cooked and delicious. Desserts were a dream...huge thanks to the whole team for looking after us so well, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of organising a group booking. Thank you

You'll get a different experience here depending on the time of your visit. For me, my best times have been for breakfast but before every man and his dog turn up. Getting here earlier gives you the best chance of securing a table with a little more space, particularly handy when you come with kids. Food is okay but I'd say breakfast is their best course. Had some very average lunches here. Service is always a little indifferent and music a little bit on the loud side. But I like the decor and the airy feel to the place but only outside of peak times. A handy venue for meeting up and convenience, but you wouldn't go here for the food, I'm sad to say. It gets a 4 star from me but that's based on a morning visit and it's handy location.

Me and my wife ate here last weekend and we've never been so ill for 48 hours after. I regret stepping foot in this place and definitely won't be returning.

We were here on Sunday. 2 of us ate and were very unwell 24 hours later, our little boy didn’t eat thank god. I wouldn’t come back after this experience.

Ate here Friday night with a group of friends. The food wasn't great rather greasy. One didn't eat hers and the other 3 of us have been ill as a result. Definitely wouldn't go back here!

Food and service is all great dogs are allowed which is all great until your eating your tea and one is all over your food. Need to bring in a dogs must be on leads policy.

I’d never come here for tea but I can get a very respectable burger at 10:00am what’s not to like? Having said that the cooked breakfasts a rather good too.

One of the best vegan burgers that I’ve ever had is here

First time there with 4 of us and my dog and will definitely be back. Very good food. Great service and a nice place. We were all impressed.

Ordered a beer through the app, when it came because I didn't have ID, they refused to give me the drink or a refund. When mentioning that I am 27 the waitress seemed very abrupt and wanted to elevate the situation, she was adamant i had to speak to the manager when I just wanted to enjoy my date night. So after speaking to the manager who simply kept repeating their challenge 25 policy to me in what came across rude, there was no different outcome anyway. Perhaps some customer service training could help. I've been here before and ordered alcohol without ID but after how the staff approached the situation, won't be coming back again.

Absolutely fantastic chill and friends food was amazing as well ( tried both, yes greedy ) I like my food and this place was a real find. Just order and pay at the bar so easy. Great selection of wine as well and fab atmosphere to eat in. Well done will come again

Was greeted and served by a lovely girl called Holly, she couldn’t have done anymore to make me and my family feel welcome ! :)

We visit the lounges all over the place, this one really let us down, service was spot on, the server gave us all the different milk options with our tea so we could try them and decide the nicest, so 10 out of 10 for front of house, but the food not so, I had a lounge breakfast today at the Stockport one, sausage was tough, (possibly kept warm too long, or heated up a few times) beans were not fresh, hash browns were undercooked, my wife's were nice, the shakshuka, probably won't go there again. There was two of us, spent around £27, at about 3pm.

My recent visit to Berretto Lounge was overshadowed by several disappointing aspects that significantly impacted the overall dining experience. I had high hopes for a pleasant meal, but unfortunately, encountered numerous setbacks that left me dissatisfied. I opted for the chicken burger, but it arrived with a perplexing temperature contrast—while the exterior was cold, the interior seemed unnaturally overheated, almost as if it had been hastily prepared using a microwave. The inconsistency in temperature and texture indicated a lack of attention to detail in the cooking process. It was evident that the dish had not been prepared to the standards one would expect from a dining establishment. To add to the disappointment, the service at Berretto Lounge was notably slow. It appeared that there were only two staff members serving a seemingly crowded establishment, leading to extended wait times for both service and meals. This lack of adequate staffing greatly affected the efficiency and overall quality of service. The visibly overwhelmed staff struggled to manage the influx of customers, resulting in delayed service and a compromised dining experience. It's regrettable that the management did not anticipate or adequately address the staffing needs, leading to a decline in service quality. While the ambiance of the place was pleasant and had potential, the subpar food quality and slow service overshadowed any positive aspects of the visit. In conclusion, my visit to Berretto Lounge was marred by a poorly executed dish and unsatisfactory service due to inadequate staffing. The incongruity in food quality and the slow service significantly detracted from what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. Until improvements are made in both the quality of food preparation and service efficiency, I find it challenging to recommend Berretto Lounge as a dining destination.

Been here a few times now. Nice atmosphere, good mix of age groups as well. Food nice but small portions. The staff are very friendly as well.

Great food, great staff. Would deffo go again

Visited today. Really dire experience overall. 2 x separate orders. First order, for coeliacs, contained 2 x chicken and bacon dish. We had to send both dishes back as they weren't remotely hot. Manager returned and told us they should have tested the temperature with a prong but they "forgot". Inexcusable. Fair play, they did replace them both and they returned hot but the dish wasn't pleasant and I left more than half of mine. Chicken tasted rank. Second order from same table took over half an hour to come. Pizza and a baguette, half an hour, and not busy. Terrible. Sweet potato chips were freezing. Manager came again and was told. She felt them and agreed they were cold. Again, these were swapped and did return hot. We were given free coffees and deserts as a means of apology. Not a pleasant experience which is such a crying shame as we are regulars in Urmston and Manchester. The Lounge chain is usually a good experience, this was so poor. We won't return to the Stockport branch again.

Food was very slow coming, and it was cold when it arrived. The manager was really great and got everything sorted out immediately though with fresh, piping hot replacement dishes; I'm sure this was just a one-off, and I would recommend.

Great food as always! See ya soon

I come here often, usually once every other week as I have a cinema membership to the Light next door and the service has always been 10/10. The staff are lovely, the food is good and they have a great selection for my friend who has a gluten allergy. Highly recommend!

Very nice atmosphere , the food was delicious and the staff very friendly

Nice drinks, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

My regular place for a coffee Amazing staff that go above and beyond to make your visit special i would like to thank Wendy for a real nice chat here today and also Joel 😊 see you all soon

Just for a quick bite of garlic bread with cheese and a pint before the film in the local cinema, and snacks and a pint before going home by bus. While munching I had done some crosswords and sudokus, so it was a great evening out by myself! 😃👍

The staff are absolutely lovely here! One staff member in particular who I imagine must be the floor manager was extremely helpful, she went out of her way to make sure me and my little boy were taken care of. I was having a stressful day, and her level of care and attention towards us made a huge difference. The atmosphere feels sophisticated but low key, which definitely helped chill me out a bit too (and the nice selection of draughts 😂). Glad I chose to stop here. Highly recommend.

We visited Berretto Lounge on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful place. Great atmosphere, nice and spacious, very well decorated to create a calm, chilled vibe and ambiance, but… When we arrived we didn’t get the warmest welcome. We asked if we could put 2 tables together for the 6 of us. This was declined for whatever reason. We then found a table near the door. We ordered our food, which was great. However, one of the friends the had a hair in their beans. The meal was sent back, a refund given along with a gift voucher to spend at any lounge in the country. A nice place. Great food, despite the unfortunate hair and a great atmosphere, but would be hesitant to visit again. 💫

As always the staff here are friendly attentive and the service is spot on.

Lovely restaurant, which allows dogs, located in the centre of Stockport town centre next to the light cinema, lots to choose from on the menu. Service was quick, and staff were polite and friendly.

The food here was okay, we had the tapas and most of it was really good. However the garlic flatbread really didn't taste of garlic at all. The cocktails were good though, as were the shots!

This is my second time visiting the lounge, first time I visited in Altrincham branch and I have enjoyed it. Unfortunately the Stockport branch did not left a great impression on me. The food was average but more concerning was the poor staff customer service. The staff are unfortunately not able to communicate properly with their guests and use good manners. No-one will approach at any point to ask if you are okay or even on arrival they didn’t say hi when arrived, when serving food they just put it on the table without saying a single word. Moreover, we were disgusted by the male waiter who holds plates and servers food with huge fake nails.

First time visit with my family. We had 2 lounge english breakfasts and pancakes. Liked the vibe and space, the food ordering was via an app which was great. Drinks came to us in a few mins which was very good. Food took longer, we waited around 30 mins, but it was very tasty and well cooked with premium produce. My only small dislikes were that you only got one small slice of toast on the full english breakfast, which I would normally expect 2, espeicially when paying just under £10. Drinks were priced ok, we had 2 teas and a cherry cordial. However we always have orange juice with our breakfasts, but the cost of a large (16oz) glass was £5.50ish, which was very expensive, I normally would expect to pay around £3.50 tops. Service from staff was very good and professional, would come back again.

Great place very friendly staff

Big breakfast. Probably the first time I've seen that description on a menu and it wasn't a lie. 10/10 Also very good gluten free menu.

Really nice place with great quality food. The pricing is a bit dearer than I expect, but you do get quality items. Service was speedy too.

Great food great customer service friendly staff definitely recommend.

Awesome service, dog friendly, reasonably priced

Great place, always visit when we go to the cinema

Not much that's good and good value for vegetarians, but good atmosphere

The lounge’s are good, you know exactly what you’re getting in terms of vibe and atmosphere. Staff always super friendly and attentive. I find the food is quite expensive in relation to portion size, and I think you’re expected to bulk out your main with expensive sides - £3-4 for brocoli etc.

Lovely place to get a bite. The bonus is that you can scan the QR code and order and pay straight from your table. In this day and age, where time is at a premium, it is a god send. I will definitely return.

Great service and really lovely staff. And the cocktails...all fabulous, although the Elderflower Spritz was my absolute favourite - sooo good! Definitely recommended 💯

Fab food and dog friendly bonus

Has gone downhill . It’s fine if you just want to lounge with a drink, coffee or tea but I wouldn’t eat here . First of all it’s “dog friendly “ so you have to be prepared to dine with dogs, also they have a habit of serving tepid food . The place could do with a good deep clean . Example , the creases of the seats and sofas are crammed with crumbs etc . They also need to give the staff a decent clean uniform instead of just schlepping around in anything they like . Good points .. a great space , great decor and vibe and all staff are pleasant and friendly . Get some decent chefs in , serve food fresh and hot , deep clean the place and it’ll be so much better .
