Cafe Rouge - Manchester Trafford in Trafford

Sourdough Pizza at its best! Deliciously tasty. Amazing friendly service too. Thank you Lydia.

Dante looked after us, he chatted with us and made the experience a lot better. Pizza is always gonna be good.

Food and drinks were great and Lydia was very friendly and helpful, thank you!!

Nice looking place with friendly staff, but the food was pretty poor. The garlic bread and mozzarella was bland and the number 7 pizza we got off the menu was also bland, plus the cheese and toppings slid off the pizza bases, which is annoying. They don't do cordial, so it's either coke, orange juice, beer or organic lemonade. The lemonade and orange juice are not very nice in my opinion. The straws for the bottles are far too short. They fall in the bottle constantly, and they are a nightmare to retrieve. We ate the food with no complaint or fuss because it was around 2pm, and we hadn't eaten all day. Not how I envisioned my late hangover lunch, but life goes on. The greek next door is supposed to be really nice for future reference.

Food was gorgeous, Molly the waitress was so helpful in spending time talking about dietary requirements and vegan choices. I really appreciated it so much :)

Fab food served by Cait! Thank you

In this unique place, which is Trafford Centre, I had a unique pizza, extremely delicious, REAL pizza

Lovely little lunch out with my husband and daughter. The service was brilliant - we had a lovely waiter called Dante who was fab with the little one. Amazing pizza too. We will be back!

Noor provided excellent service. Exceptionally smiley and welcoming, couldn’t ask for a better experience. not to mention, the food was also stellar

Lily was an excellent host, speedy service and attentive. Food was excellent and affordable. Will be back

Lily has been amazing, amazing atmosphere will deffo come back!!

Lily was amazing! Best service, will definitely come back 😄

A really lovely spot for food at the Trafford Centre, plenty of options on the menu, a gorgeous authentic restaurant interior. We were served by Lily and she was so so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much.

Had the most wonderful helpful and professional service from Lydia 🌟 thank so much.

amazing food & lush service from all staff! really enjoyed our visit. special thank you to one of the servers Lily for being so lovely!! x

Our server Danté was excellent! Food was fab!

Really nice food, great and attentive service from Lydia. Worth visiting. The food was cooked in timely manner and just enjoyed proper stone baked sourdough pizzas. Thank you.

Great value for money with the lunch menu. Good size pizza with a great selection of toppings. Most importantly it's sourdough so a bit healthier than other pizzas.

Our server Lily at Trafford Centre location was amazing! She was so fun and chatted with my friend and I. The food was amazing! Will come again!

The food at Franco Manca, in the food court at the Trafford Centre, was lovely but what made our meal out even more pleasant was our lovely server Lily. Such a ray of sunshine and so helpful. We had a good little chat as she was so friendly and engaging whilst giving us time and space to enjoy our meal.

Pizza was excellent would definitely recommend the number 8! Lily our server was fantastic ☺️

Lydia our Waitress was excellent Full of banter and fun to deal with Very efficient Nice pizza Could do with better cutlery to cut the pizzas though!

Just finished eating here right this moment and had to leave a 5 star review. Lydia our server was super friendly and really attentive. The food was lovely and service was spot on. Will definatly happily come back.

Had a gorgeous pizza and salad, we where served by the lovely Lydia who could not have been more helpful. Absolutely lovely place and 5 stars for the staff 🧡

Banging food good pizza and brilliant service from lily

Very sweet service! Lovely food and our waitress Lily overheard that it was my parents Anniversary and treated us to free tiramisu - my parents were elated! Will be coming back xx

Delicious food, kid friendly and our waitress Molly was an absolute gem.

The best pizza in Manchester🤩 The customer service is amazing, especially Wanesa, who with every visit we make, gives us a reason to visit franco manca again. ❤️👏🏼

We visited Franco Manca today with my fiancé and had an absolutely wonderful experience, thanks to Wanesa. From the moment we arrived, Wanesa’s warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a perfect meal. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we felt taken care of at every step. The pizza, as always, was outstanding - perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and bursting with flavor. Thank you, Wanesa, for making our day even better.

Lydia was friendly and so attentive

We recently dined at Franco Manca with my husband and two kids, and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff, especially Cait, made us feel right at home, enhancing the overall dining experience. The pizzas were outstanding, with high-quality ingredients and authentic Italian flavours. I highly recommend Franco Manca for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely friendly staff and Lydia was a very attentive waiter. Despite it being a very busy lunchtime, we were served very quickly.

The food here is SO GOOD! It’s always my favourite part of going to the Trafford Centre. Our server, Molly, was so kind and gave us such a good experience today. Thank you so much!!!

Connie was amazing! I have a lot of sensitivity and she went out of her way to make it affordable, along with best setup. Thank you so much

Our waitress Connie was a lovely server and looked after us well!!

The food was great and our waitress Molly was lovely.

Molly was amazing! Thank you so much for looking after us!

Cait and Molly were extremely friendly and professional…they’ve even brought a cake for my son and sung happy birthday to him which he absolutely loved Can’t thank you enough!! Xxx

Amazing service from Dantè as well as incredible food will definitely be back.

Came here on my birthday really excited for Francos pizza. Was sat at a table and waitress walked off straight away. Sat down for 20mins and no one came to take our drinks order. A couple walked in after us and were served yet we got ignored when trying to catch attention from their waiter. Ended up leaving and going to a different restaurant. Don’t think I’ll try there again.

Lovely restaurant with tasty food and fantastic service from Cait. Definitely coming back! We ordered number 6 on the menu, so good!

Food was delicious and our server Dante was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. We had a great time, will be back 😁

Food: A beautiful starter platter mix of veggies, olives, rocket and sourdough. And a wonderful pair of pizza’s, both alternative veggie and meat based, but cooked with care and personality! Service: Prompt and efficient, warm and welcoming and even went out of their way to accommodate my desire for a flat white with sparkling water asap! It was also made excellently, I may add, by the delightful Lydia. We’ll definitely return.

Great food and excellent service from Noor. A party of eleven and she memorised our full order without the need to write it down. She knew that certain elements of our order would not be appropriate to our dietary needs and advised us in our best interests. She is a credit to the restaurant.

Molly our server was really lovely and very pleasant and efficient. Our pizzas were delicious.

Fantastic Service. Molly our server was amazing, she was so polite and couldn’t have been any nicer. Food was fantastic. Visited from Glasgow during our trip and we are gutted there’s no Franco Manca in Scotland! We had a great meal, and a very quick service!

Molly was a wonderful friendly chatty and lots of smiles girl who served use A*

Had an incredible experience today. Our waiter Dante was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend eating at this establishment!

Wonderful place to grab an authentic pizza 🍕! Beautiful food and friendly, efficient service from Dante 👌

The food was hot and fresh the pizza was good. Noor was there and he guided was thru the menu and very helpful.

The food was amazing and the ambience was good. Our server Noor was friendly and helpful. Overall good experience

We went here for our Sunday Brunch as recommended by one of our dear friend, we were greeted warmly by the Noor as it was our first time here trying the food we requested Noor to recommend us the popular dishes, going by her recommendations we went for pesto, and two different options of sourdough pizza, going by Noor’s choice we were extremely happy with the food, to top it off Noor convinced us order chocolate cake as a dessert which was very scrumptious and we would highly recommend Noor’s suggestions and overall service as a very good experience, Thank you Noor.

Lovely pizza. Nice sourdough pizza base. Staff a little thin on the ground but worked super hard to keep us happy. Consequently pizza took a while. Went for the pizza and soft drink for £10.00 so surprised to find £2.00 charge for a tiny amount of mayo in a paper pot and £2.70 service charge (optional) but who’s gonna say no? Leaves a bad taste sadly 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Food was basic and bland. Service was slow considering it was quiet. Save yourself some money and go elsewhere for much better quality.

Had the best birthday here, thanks to our Server Lydia

Our server Lydia was very friendly and gave us a lovely dinning experience. Definitely would recommend!

Exceptional food and loved the home made lemonade. Thank you Cait for the great service 🙏

Nipped in for a quick meal and it was lovely!! Molly was our server, very helpful and smiley! Thankyou so much we will be back xx

Our server was Noor and she was amazing! She had the best memory even though we modified every dish to suit our vegan requirements! Very impressed the food was lovely. Service with a smile

We called in for a meal at Franco Mancs on 11/07/24 having attempted to get served at another eatery in the Trafford Centre where to total lack of customer service caused us to leave. Lydia greeted us immediately and showed us to our table. She was mentoring a new member of staff and it was pretty busy with few staff. Both Lydia and the other member of staff were excellent as were the pizzas we ordered. Thank you for a good meal and lovely customer service.

Thank you to Molly for speedy service with a smile. Particular thanks for advising me to have the limited edition Strawberry Negroni which was delicious. Great food as ever and plenty of vegan options.

Food as always was amazing and great service from out waitress Molly. 5 stars all around

Great service by Wanesa, made us feel welcomed and the food was 10 out of 10. Will come back soon

Pizza was lovely! Was expecting more than one piece of bruschetta but it was still really good. Lydia was really friendly as well!

Service from Wanesa was great!!!

Best thing about my experience was the service by Ivanessa and Connie The pizzas were outstanding. Thank to the chef Jamal

Wanesa was of excellent service! really made us feel welcome

Lydia was great, very attentive and made sure everything was perfect!

Our server Lydia was great! She was very helpful.

Lydia made us feel at home and took her time to make sure everything was right. Thank you, Lydia

Food was great as always, quick service and shout out to Lydia who was really lovely!

Food was excellent and Connie was so nice! Thank you for looking after us!

The best Franco manca I’ve been too. The team didn’t know this but I’m a good reviewer and the service, delivery, atmosphere was second-to-none! A huge thank you to Danté- you were great and you’ve got a excellent sense of humour🤭

It was lovely me and my mum went for lunch there we shared the francos favourite pizza it's was delicious to say the least the ladies serving us were wonderful and very polite and the service was fairly quick especially out waitress Connie I really enjoyed the atmosphere it felt like I was really eating my lemon and raspberry sorbets on the streets of Italy it was so cute I would recommend and I would definitely go again

Food was great, atmosphere good and service top notch. Thank you Lydia

Lydia and Jamal were great, the food was as well

Dante is a top class waiter, dead friendly and recommended me the best pizza. Knows his stuff. food was unreal, chicken pizza but with tomato base. Go for it

Definitely not as Italy intended (their advertisement) BUT Italy should take note! Highly recommend & Vanesa is excellent !

Awesome pizzas! Connie was also very friendly and attentive to our needs. Will def come again!

Amazing food, helpful staff and great atmosphere.

Loved it here tonight. Lydia was not only great at service, she helped us celebrate a little milestone. She gave my daughter sound advice, leaving her beaming. Thanks Lydia ❤️

Had a great meal and Wanesa our server was lovely! Thankyou

Connie was lovely! Really relaxed atmosphere and great pizza!

Great for kids. Lydia was great. Would recommend.

Started off really well menu explained , unfortunately the next table came in , we sat waiting to be served , they serv the next table before us , bring there food , we're still waiting we ask to order , oh hang on I'm bringing out the next tables mains now , we then finally order drinks , pint of shandy please , no sorry we only do lager or lemonade not mixed , never heard that before , next table finish and leave still no starter , def won't be back food was OK to be fair but maybe due fact I had waited and extra hour to eat , don't be in a rush !!!!

Service was great. Very attentive - thanks Lydia

Lydia was great at looking after us, the food was lovely too!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME !!! The food was average and didn't stand out at all, but this wasn't the provlem. The issue was with the service. It was absolutely awful. It took 20 minutes to have any food or drinks order taken. It was then a further 40 minutes to get the food. The vast majority of the staff were rude and couldn't even manage to crack a smile. It was an appalling experience. To the 1 member of staff who i did see smiling and who was making an effort with customers i am sorry, because your colleague's have really let you down.

We had 2 sourdough pizzas and they were ok, just ok. The pepperoni pizza with chilli oil has lots of flavour but it had a very soggy base due to the chilli oil. We needed to use a fork to eat a slice of pizza. The other pizza was smoked ham and it was very dry! Would we return again? Probably not.

Amazing experience- lovely food and great staff, Lydia our waitress was so attentive! Thanks

Nice experience and not too busy which we appreciated. Good pizza wish there was more flavour variety but delicious either way. Lydia took great care of us and she was brilliant - big shout out.

dante was a great server and made us feel very welcome. food was also great would come again

Good food but lack of atmosphere

Food was fantastic and Dante gave us some brilliant, friendly service

Danté was a brilliant host for my visit to Franco Manca! He had extensive knowledge over all the ingredients on the pizzas and any question I had he didn’t hesitate to help! Service and food was brilliant and I’ll be coming back again!

My little girl adored Lydia who provided an exceptional service and great food.

Always good reliable tasty pizzas. Fantastic service from Lydia!

Had a great meal here this evening. Tried Pizza Express first but it was an hour wait for food! Our waiter was Dante and he was really lovely. We were just saying how rare it is these days to get service with a smile! Dante is an asset to Franco Manca. Great pizzas here too. We will be back!
