El Cappero in Trafford

Lovely atmosphere, very attentive staff, especially our server Simo and another man who served us drinks. Food was amazing!!!

Amazing food, fantastic friendly staff! This business deserves to succeed, we loved our meal. We will definitely ve coming back.

We booked a large table for lunch having not tried this place before. They were very acomodating with our party rriving at different times. Thre place is huge with lots of tables and a lot of staff and was very quiet when we arrived at 3.30pm. We were asked to write a review and the QR code for trio advisor was given to us at the end of the meal. The staff were not particularly attentive although pleasant and polite in their communication. We had to call them over to order nibbles and drinks. The drinks menu is fairly standard amd the wine list is limited. We had several cocktails to start. Strawberry daiquiris werr unavailable but they offered passion fruit or peach in their place. One drink was forgotten and we had to ask for it again. Espresso martinis were average. It is a common drink for us to order in our grouo so this was a little disappointing. A bit sweet and watery but good creamy head. The first Aperol Spritz we had was huge and delicious. Sadly, a later order arrived in a much smaller glass for the same price. Nibbles were small and seemed pricey. The bread was not very fresh and the portions were tiny. The tomato bruschetta was tasty, we would have liked more of it. A shame that in an Italian restaurant, the bread, butter and olives did not have lovely doughy focaccia. Small packets of Anchor butter ruin the expectation a little... We ordered two bottles of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. On arrival, they opened it and poured a glass for everyone as standard, then left the rest of the second bottle in a wine cooler. The group found the wine to be quite unpleasant but continued drinking it as it had already been poured. On checking the bottle, we found it was Chilean Sauv Blanc that had been served and asked for it to be taken away. It was undrinkable. The staff appeared to find this a little challenging but replaced the second bottle with a warm Oyster Bay Sauv Blanc - much nicer but we used ice from our cocktail glasses to chill it. We were told we would not have to pay for the Chilean wine. The main courses we ordered were a variety of pizzas and several portions of lobster ravioli with prawns. Everyone who ordered pizza said they were OK. Nothing that stood out and distinctly average considering the price. The lobster ravioli with prawn was tasty but served on a plate with an excessive amount of sauce. Around 5 or 6 raviolos and the daen number of praws so not a huge portion. We ordred an additional garlic bread pizza to mop it all up. Again, some lovely doughy fresh bread would have been welcomed here. I would also suggest the a bowl would have been a far nicer way to present this. We were offered dessert but declined and requested the bill. The bill charged us for all three bottles of wine, despite the fact they had served us the incorrect bottle and that we had sent it back saying it tasted awful . We asked for the bill to be changed as preciously agreed. The staff initially returned saying they were sorry they had made a mistake with the printed menu and checked if we had drank it. We reminded them they had poured the first bottle for us, we had drunk some of it then sent the second bottle back. We saw some of the staff appearing to be quite heated and the server's tone was almost accusatory when dealing with us at this point. After a few minutes, the bill returned and we paid for one of the incorrect bottles and the replacement. We agreed to pay for two, despite the error by the restaurant and the poor quality of the first wine. We won't be returning. The prices were at the higher end and the food quality was very average. There are so many little attentions to detail that were missed and would improve the experience. We wish them well but we don't see them being able to compete with the quality of pasta and pizza places that are far better in terms of quality and value for money.

Booked late but they squeezed us in. Food very tasty, friendly service, excellent range of choices - ordered Risotto Marina / sea bass Risotto, King Prawn Linguini and huge face shaped kids Margarita pizza. Puds great too

Great food and excellent service from all staff. Simo looked after our table and was very helpful. Will definitely visit again.

We read these reviews, and booked based on this, but this must be friends and family reviewing. Friendly stuff, but that’s the only positive. I struggle to think of a worse meal than the bolognaise I just had. Poor meat, watery (like cheap mince added to cheap tomato tinned soup), and large chunks of carrot floating g about. Caprese had literally zero flavour (as cheap tomatoes)…. Service slow, had to keep nudging… honestly, trip advisor, I shall not use you guys ever again, as there’s clearly something afoot here at this place with outstanding reviews like it has got, it just don’t stack up

Lovely mothers day dinner, staff very attentive and food was great. Lovely friendly atmosphere and will definitely return.

Excellent food and good service Came for Mothers Day. Atmosphere and service very good. Would definitely return to dine again thank you

Food was great, recommend the biscoff cheesecake. Service was good, our waiter was Simo who was lovely. Coffee is the reason for only 4 stars, would have that at home

Have already been 3 times now, all 3 times have been fantastic. Especially loved the lasagne and risotto marinara. Simo was a great host and made us feel very welcome! Will definitely come back soon.

Was taken here for a surprise mother's day lunch and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean and has lovely decor. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely food and atmosphere - nice veggie and fish options. Service good. Great local restaurant with great wine choices

We had a SUPER meal! Delicious! Very attentive service. Staff were very friendly & couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Friendly staff who made my son feel really special on his birthday. We ordered the early bird menu, the food was delicious and the portions big enough to defeat even my gigantic teenager! Will come again

Lovely vibe, music perfect, Pizza was delightful and great customer service. The wine menu stated bottle but they accommodated a glass of my choice.

Easy and relaxed atmosphere with attentive but unobtrusive staff. Food was very good, especially the sea bass on the risotto.

A bit off the beaten track, across the road from Sainsbury's, in an old cinema. Surprised that barely a quarter full on Saturday evening. Indeed, by 10pm we were the only customers. Pleasant, but generic, fare, and no criticisms on that score. The starters and mains were perfectablly acceptable, and appreciated by all. Not overly expensive, until one comes to the wine list. Our house red was on sale in the local store at less than a tenner. £36 in El Cappello. Not rushing back.

Immaculate. warm. welcoming restaurant. Great front of house welcome and attention Loved the varied menu .staff were very attentive and as it was my daughters birthday they raised a rousing rendition of happy birthday. So thanks for looking after us and making it a lovely...

the most beautiful setting with the most delicious food wouldn’t recommend it anymore! perfect during day and night; even better in evening.

Great food and staff! Great menu with lots of options! Sarah did a brilliant coffee for us. We will be back for sure, what a great morning!

A pleasant venue with good food, but the service was unacceptably slow. Our grandchildren were close to starving by the time food finally arrived. We were there for well over 2 hours and left very late, without dessert, just desperate to get out. Both waiting...

The choice of food on the brunch menu was excellent and we also got 50 per cent off deal which made it an even better!!. The food was amazing and the staff especially Zara and Cayden were helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

When for some dinner with my children, lovely place very clean and homely, staff are super approachable and ensured the children could order what their tastebuds fancied, food was delicious! It’s going to be our new spot! Thank you so much for having us today

Food was lovely, only get a starter if your extra hungry as by time had eaten starter and the main came was full. Some staff wree lovely and extra attentive (Pipo) some seemed disinterested. Visited on a Sat night and not too busy seated without...

Came with friends and family. Food was good, service was OK but a bit slow. Didn't have the desert I wanted although I did have to wait for 20 mins to find this out. At least they provided an alternative which wasn't on the menu....

Fantastic attentive staff. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Warm and friendly. I had the pork rib starter and penne arribiata for main. Both tasted fantastic and very nicely seasoned. Ice cream for pudding tasted like proper authentic Italian gelato. Cocktails while a bit pricey were amazing....

Great customer service and nice food would recommend every one was really friendly and I enjoyed my time here. The vibe links with the food (Italian) and would definitely recommend

The best authentic Italian restaurant I’ve been to! And it’s halal aswell which is a bonus. Starters and mains were served fast and hot. Tasted amazing too. Would definitely come again!

Good portions, the waiters were so friendly and respectful to everyone, food quality is amazing. The drinks menu was very diverse and tasted amazing. Would definitely come back here again!

Such a pity, the food was good and arrived quickly but the service was poor. We asked if they had diet coke and were told “it’s my first day, look in the menu”. The Spanish waiter then pushed the Iberian ham really heavily and, even...

Came for brunch . Lots of choice , food delicious, eggs cooked just as i had requested. Great food and lovely service . Definitely recommend and will return soon

We booked a family meal and we were so terribly disappointed. We left after 2hrs waiting for food We feel sorry for staff. The owners must invest in the kitchen and wait staff and number of table covers.

We went to Il Cappero for a family celebration. We were welcomed on arrival and our table was ready. The restaurant was fairly busy and there was a nice atmosphere. We didn’t have starters but ordered a variety of main courses (pizzas, cannelloni, lasagna, bolognese)...

The food was amazing - mushroom tagliatelle and the home made panacotta were particularly good. And cheesecake of the day (biscoff) was to die for! Friendly service and reasonably priced - we’ll definitely be back soon.

First time, went because the reviews were so good. I now understand why. This is an excellent restaurant. Service very prompt and friendly. Food is fabulous. We had garlic bread with tomato bruschetta and fried calamari. Grilled fish and pasta. Biscotti affogato. All top notch....

Went here for my dad's birthday and it was wonderful! The staff were all lovely, and Pipo made sure we had a lovely evening. The salted sea bass was especially nice, and we'd also highly recommend the lamb shanks and salmon.

Exquisite culinary artistry in every dish, blending exceptional flavors with stunning presentation for a uniquely delightful dining experience.

5* experience We came on a miserable Sunday evening and the service and food was exceptional. My mum had the sea bass which was salt-baked and then deboned and skinned at the table which added a lovely element to the evening. I had the lobster...
