Great service and lovely food x

I was sat down by Grace the host and she was so lovely and attentive. The carbonara was amazing.highly recommend

Excellent service from Connor on Tuesday. Really good food also

I was serviced by a waiter called Oliver, he was consistently kind and gave helpful recommendations to me and my friends. We will definitely be back!

amazing food and service !! especially from peter - thank you so much!!!

Mains were served whilst starter was being consumed. Other than that, lovely meal

Went in for my partners birthday meal yesterday. Had a pizza, carbonara and chips to share. Pizza was perfectly done, tasted wonderful and was very filling. Carbonara was a beautiful and creamy with plenty bacon/ham pieces and also very filling. We couldn’t even finish our fries as we were already so full so portion sizes were amazing. Restaurant was clean and the staff were lovely. Price was amazing, around £40 for 2 meals a side and 2 cokes. 10/10 would come again.

Lovely experience here. Thank you Oliver for your great service and friendly conversation!

Had an amazing!!!! Lunch with Oliver so friendly and welcoming with us. See you again soon Oliver ☺️☺️

We opted for this restaurant today, just myself and my 14 year old daughter. I picked up a child’s menu because my daughter is autistic and will only eat plain food ie. Chicken nuggets etc. I was told we couldn’t order from that menu as only 10 and under, I tried to explain that my daughter is autistic and wouldn’t eat off the main menu, but I would be happy to order an adults size off the children’s menu and pay extra. I was told no, it’s only for 10 and under!! Shocking. Not inclusive at all, unbelievable in this day and age with all the awareness.

Amazing food, great staff, very friendly and the whole experience was really good. Will definitely be coming again love the food.

Lovely food and staff Peter was very attentive and always smiling when walking round the restaurant.. would definitely be returning

Service was good and staff were friendly, food was brought out quickly and our waiter checked with us regularly. Food however was very expensive for what it was, pizza was very poor and over priced, the Bolognese (with their secret recipe Ragu no less) was a small portion and decidedly bland. They can keep the secret recipe, honestly. In 2025 you can get amazing pizza all over Manchester, no excuse for bad pizza in an Italian restaurant. For the cost of one Bolognese I could have made a more authentic one at home and fed a family of 6 with much larger portions. Disappointing at best.

Food was really nice, a good Italian. Service was funny, they couldn’t do anymore for you.

Had a good experience at ‘est restaurant’. Food and service were great. Price is also reasonable.

Oliwia was a great sever today, took time and recommended some great dishes! No complaints

Good atmosphere waitress Oliwia was great

The staff were very attentive and really friendly. The meal was delicious but the garlic bread had changed and is now too crispy and dry. I probably wouldn’t have that again but everything else was 5 star!

We celebrated our son's 6th birthday at Est, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely fantastic, but the real star of the evening was our waiter, Oliver. He went above and beyond to make our son feel incredibly special, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The highlight? Oliver surprised our son with a shiny Pokémon on Pokémon Go, which completely made his day! Thank you, Oliver, for your kindness and thoughtfulness—you truly are the best. Est is lucky to have you, and we'll definitely be back!

Friendly staff good great service

First time going to Est and had such lovely food and service! Connor was my waiter and was so helpful. I had the a few starter and the pizza was delicious 🫶🏼

Peter was really amazing. Top notch service. The food was really good. Would definately recommend.

Served by Carmen who gave such a personalised service and had a great understanding of allergies. Was very relatable as her son was also gluten free. 10/10 would definitely recommend!☺️

Been served by Carmen, absolute gem and an asset to this (est)ablishment! Food was quick, good quality and the best gluten free garlic bread we've tried in over 30 restaurants. Will definitely be back again.

Best gluten free pizza and Peter the waiter was fantastic explaining what we could eat

It was really good 👍🏼 I LOVED THE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

Love going here ❤️ everyone’s so lovely, always great service all around and of course the foods delicious! 😋 Connor served me and my friends last time, he was really friendly, approachable and was so attentive checking in on us and offering us great suggestions. Will be going back!

Service was impeccable as always when I come here, menu has changed since last visit, however in my opinion it's not as good as the menu they had before, and the quality of food is adequate whereas before it was levels above that. I understand changes have to be made sometimes but it is a shame this was one of them. Must point out again the staff and service they give you is outstanding always friendly always ready to help.

The place looks nice but that’s about all, food is terrible and over priced, Bruschetta was a slice small of bread with chopped tomatoes and onions only, chips were fries tiny portion, chicken Milanese- small slice of fried breadcrumb chicken piece with tiny portion of fries, sea bass with tiny portion of spinach- all in with small beer and lemonade- £93- rip off- DON’T GO!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and our server Dalia was very friendly always a smile on her face.

Absolutely brilliant experience today in the Trafford Centre restaurant and our waiter Peter was fantastic. The gluten free options now are superb, and the ipad with the full allergy menu on is an incredible touch. So many more places could learn from est....... 5 stars all round.

We had Peter serve us and he was very friendly and informative. He made my meal very enjoyable.

We visited yesterday and were served by Wendy. The food was great and the service was outstanding.

Carmen was a very good and nice server she was really good and very helpful with everything and she maked everyone laugh in our table

OMG 100% recommended. The service was excellent, a waitress named Dalia was very polite and helpful, the food was delicious x

I went with my son and the food was excellent. I recommend the chicken Milanese and the cheese truffle fries. The service was very good. The waitress, Dalia, was friendly and professional. 100% recommended.

Very good foods and very good service. Dalia is excellent server , very professional. Recommended!

The experience in Est Est Est restaurant was great, food spot on, but what made it special was our waitress Dalia, she made our stay welcoming and warm, she was very attentive, friendly and had a smile on the whole time so thank you EstEstEst we will be returning

The food is amazing and the staff are really helpful especially one of the staff called Carmen who was very helpful and kind when explaining the menu

Excellent attention,I'd been served by Dalia,i

Wendy, Dalia, Peter and Carmen were all really lovely. Really attentive and very knowledgeable about the food. Would recommend 100%

Carmen was a really good server and she help me with everything I need it the environment in the restaurant was so good

I ate in est and Dalia was my server, I had a Peanuts allergy and she explained me everything so well!! My food was delicious and I’m planning to go again with my brother

Lovely restaurant, wonderful food and Peter has provided a fantastic service making our evening even more amazing.

Thank you for the wonderful meal- Peter had great service and whilst waiting for a friend let us wait for 40 minutes, service was great and we got a pizza on the house!!

Brilliant service of Peter.. was very polite and patient with the orders

The service was amazing, Peter was so friendly and polite. He was very attentive and made our experience so much better, he’s a credit to the company thank you again:)

Had the most amazing time, highly recommend the pizza carne. Amazing server Peter, will definitely come here again.

Oliver assisted us and he was brilliant and professional. Love to go back to eat in there.

food was really nice and came quick. our server Oliver was also extremely friendly. we will be back

Completely disgusting the food is rubbish and management disrespectful stay away from this restaurant, dog food is better!

Peter is such a fabulous waiter & such lovely service. Can’t recommend EST enough. Sadly, they’ve stopped the Gnocchi but the food is still so great!

Oliver was great , lovely service , food was great , portions a little smaller than last time but still very tasty

Oliver had fantastic customer service, food was excellent!

Excellent food and very friendly staff. A special thank you to Peter who pointed out that all meals are cooked from scratch so can be changed to your preference.

Nerea was a really good server, the food was really good and I love the experience everyone was very nice and the food was so good

The host Grace was lovely and welcoming ! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and all staff was very friendly , I would definitely come again!!

Peter deserves a bottle Of PINOR NOIR ;) give the man a raise. Top man. He can come work for me anytime

Had a fantastic experience at Est! The food and drinks were amazing, and our waitress, Katie, provided excellent service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Worst pizza ever. Base was like old shoe leather, topping was tasteless and it was tepid. Very overpriced for a below average pizza. I've had better pizza from Asda pizza counter. Definitely wouldn't return. Very poor selection for vegetarians too.

Carmen the waiter was absolutely my favourite this about being here she was welcoming and so nice . I would love for everyone to meet carmel once in their life . Thank you again would recommend

Visited this restaurant thinking it’s going to be a nice place to eat looking at the aesthetic and the menu. I was wrong ! Staff was so rude there was a lady serving us sighing and laughing with other colleagues when asked if the food was halal or if a certain dish had no alcohol the service was so bad ! i asked for the bill and got passed over a receipt we said we are paying cash and she walked off in a puff and proceeded to clean tables whilst we waited with the cash in our hands. I therefore spoke to a manager and she was lovely she gave us £10 off although we didn’t ask for this discount and it wasn’t worth the horrible service definitely won’t be back. My friend also had a bad experience and walked out half way through a meal because of the rudeness but thought i’d give it a chance! save your money and go to pizza express it’s better food :)

Dined here Sunday 16/02/25 at 6pm. Warm greeting, small queue to get in due to short staffing. Restaurant was clean and the table and chairs felt new and sturdy. Nothing worse than a wobbly table! Drinks took a few minutes to appear, but browsed the menu in the mean time. Menu isn’t huge, which is a really good thing. Kids menu was great. £8.25 for a starter, main, pudding and a drink. Both our 10 and 5 year old’s ate off this and were stuffed! Portion size was great. Main menu items weren’t the cheapest, but I paid for what I received here. Food arrived well-presented, tasted great and we ate the lot! 2 adults with a starter and a main each, 2 kids set menu’s and drinks for £75. Couldn’t complain and wouldn’t want to! Service was lovely and friendly, everybody had a smile on their face and it didn’t look forced. Seems like a laid back place and I’d definitely go back. I don’t typically leave feedback for places online, but I felt quite compelled to leave a nice review today to highlight a nice evening.

The food waiting time is not long, and the prices are reasonable. The food portions are enough and taste great. I recommend trying the calamari. The risotto would be better if it were less salty. Additionally, the restaurant has a convenient restroom inside.

One of the worst meals I've ever had in my life booked for valentines and ruined the mood for the entire night because of how expensive and rubbish the food was, my spaghetti bolognase was pasta water and oil basically with no actual meat and my gfs carbonara had no actual taste at all, and the waiter was an older woman and was incredibly rude and just seemed like she wanted to get us away as quick as possible, used to come here as a kid and it was great, now wouldn't ever recommend. Ruined valentines completely. £40 for food that was not even average the best part cocktail and that's it

First time here and we wasn't disappointed. I am very fussy too 😃. My daughter and I are visiting restaurants to do reviews as part of our home education english writing project. This was our first of many restaurants due for Jessica's reviews. We loved our experience today. 😊 Thanks

We had a lovely meal at EST. The service was warm and welcoming, with staff who were attentive without being intrusive. Particular thanks to Connor who has great customer service skills . The food was delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. Margarita pizza and Arrabiatta followed by a delicious tiramisu and fruit meringue . The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it a great place to unwind with friends over a good meal. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian food in The Trafford Centre at a reasonable price

We have dined at a few places in the Orient at Trafford Centre and this was the best! We had Polpette (meatballs/pasta) and it was perfectly prepared and served by helpful and very friendly staff. 😁

Had a great meal the servers were so kind, guy behind bar was well fit

BAD BAD BAD SERVICE specifically Olivia she was very veryyy rude and disrespectful, food was not worth it at all

Megan was a great server , very attentive and quick service . Will be back!

Really enjoyed the food and the service was good! Had truffle alfredo which was delicious and the rest of the family enjoyed their lasagne.

Est is a fantastic restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Katie, our waitress, was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. I can’t wait to visit again!

Nice friendly greeting, sat quickly. Ordered Capra pizza with a couple of additional toppings, Amatriciana pasta and 2 beers which all came quickly. Food was very tasty and hot and was good value for a bill of under £40. Only negative was Pizza size has shunk slightly to previous visits.

Food was great food was a little slow coming out however very much worth the wait we did come in at a busy time would recommend the meatballs pomodoro for a starter and the carbonara as a main

Food below average, Lasange dry, steak very fatty and came out luke warm same as chips. Very expensive. We won't return.

Had a fantastic meal, my server, Louis, said he got me the last burrata they had!! will definitely be coming again

Never been here before, our server Louis was fantastic, helped us decide based on his own preferences which was a lovely personal touch! will definitely be coming back

I had the Bolognese, it was so nice! Really enjoyed it, I was served by Katie she was very nice and made sure we had a great time!

We were served by a lovely waitress called Katie who went above and beyond with her knowledge of the menu and recommendations. Her service was superb and she made us feel at home

Decided to try this place for the first time after a long day of work and travelling whilst stopping off in Manchester. I had the cheesy garlic bread and meatball starters as mains and my partner had the lasagna. Was impressed with the size of the portions, we couldn’t finish it all between us. The food was great, service was amazing. Louis did a great job, he was very friendly and honestly made it the best meal out we’d had in a while. Next time we’re in Manchester, we’ll definitely be coming back.

We arrived as a party of 6 (plus a pram) on a busy Saturday afternoon, but staff worked to seat us as quickly as they could and they were all very accommodating and full of smiles which made us feel comfortable. There is a children’s menu with plenty of options at £8.95 for main, dessert and drink. I ordered the bolognese and my husband ordered the lasagne with added parmesan, we were both in heaven eating our meals and the portions for both adults and kids are very generous so you won’t be left hungry! We had just enough room for brownies for dessert and they were gorgeous. Our waitress was also really lovely and she was laughing with my daughter and niece so they felt extra welcome. A family of very happy customers indeed. Definitely recommend to families with young children.

Food was horrible. Not proper Italian food! No San Pellegrino water (come on, it's suppose to be Italian 🤌). No one came to check if we enjoyed the food. We didn't eat it and they brought us the bill without us asking if anything was wrong. Bad service. And the restaurant was cold. We left the food like this on the table and paid a full bill. Atleast the wine was ok.

Went to the restaurant with 3 friends on Saturday night.We all thought the food was amazing and the waitress Katie made the whole night fantastic. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.Lovely setting and enjoyed the full experience of dining in a great restaurant.

My family and I visited Est in Trafford Centre, and Katie and Luce made our experience unforgettable. They were so friendly, kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Their recommendation were spot on, the food and their service absolutely fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you guys for the amazing hospitality. Can’t wait to visit again! :)

Had a fantastic lasagna, server Connor helped me choose despite menu cuts, excellent service from him and i highly recommend! Thank you Connor!

This was a good meal reasonably priced with very good service. The food was well presented, cooked well and very tasty. The service was particularly good with very friendly and efficient staff. Would recommend.

Honestly, i can say this is the best Italian restaurant i’ve been to. Food was so amazing we all ordered seconds and took every bit home. Connor was our server and made sure the food was to our liking and expectations. Gave us some recommendations and it was all delicious We devoured every bit we forgot to take pictures Will 100% come back again. Thanks all

Excellent food & service. Great Value for money & portions are huge! Will definitely be returning!

Lovely food and friendly staff

I usually go to this restaurant everytime I visit Manchester.. however I made a reservation and was refused entry by Roxanne with no valid reason as I had a booking confirmation and tables where empty she welcomed us by saying “ we are not taking you in” I’m still in disbelief and have emailed the restaurant directly and awaiting a response.

Paola was my runner she was very good wish I could say the same about the food I now go 2x a week for Paola bc she is the only good thing about this place.(I love Paola aka Paula) Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola Paola

Last time we came I would give it a 5 star, however upon this visit, the server was glued to her tablet while taking the order, not looking at us once. The food was okay however the pizza was underdone on the bottom, flopping very easily and becoming chewy because of it. The lasagne was a little on the burnt side however it was still nice. We then had to wait 5-10 before the lady came over to hand us the bill where I mentioned the criticism which wasn’t really taken on board
