First Street Bar And Kitchen in Manchester

Got told off by the bar man for picking up a bottle of unusual looking bitters....That they leave on display on the bar, when questioned about it his attitude was even worse. Then the food was just shocking. Wild boar ragu was three small lumps of dark fatty pork sat on top of the driest pasta and sauce I have ever had, and the rest of our table of 6 all had similar complaints. The place is way to dark at night, but that's to try and hide the crap food I reckon. For a very premium price point there are a lot of much better places to go!

I stayed at Innside hotel in Manchester at the weekend with my friends and we had breakfast and lunch at the Gino restaurant. The food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely but the best thing about our experience was the service from Darren. He could not do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Stayed at innside at the weekend with a few friends and ate at Ginos for both breakfast and lunch. The food and service was outstanding, delicious cocktails and Darren made us feel so welcome he couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely go back!

Service & atmosphere is great but I wouldn’t go back for the food. £25 for the smallest bit of chicken and sauce. The sauce was very basic. The potatoes had been reheated in the microwave. I’m not sure if that’s standard for a restaurant but they weren’t very good, quite soggy & the distinctive taste you get when they’re re-heated Overall very overpriced for what we got

We came here for some quality Italian food and we’re not disappointed. It seems a little more upmarket than your standard Italian, but tbh it was worth it for a little extra treat as the food was made to perfection with quality and traditional Italian ingredients. The staff are very welcoming and happy to assist you, while the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere. We’ll visit again one day when we are back up North.

It's ok... we went for afternoon tea. The sandwiches were nice but I was a little disappointed that every dessert seemed to have alcohol in it, apart from the scones (which were not warm)... and the strangest of things... we weren't given or offered any tea with our afternoon TEA. The clue is in the title 😂

It was a very quiet restaurant, we had the Roast Dinner as it was Sunday the Beef was absolutely amazing, my only fault was the roast potato’s which were like Aunt Bessie’s, other than that all good and the waiter Pedro was a lovely chap 🙌

The service was very rushed. We felt the waiter ran away from our table before we finished talking. The antipasti sharing dish had a bit off meet to cheese ratio. The pizza had a lot of sauce. We asked for Parmesan for our pasta and got a little bit, while at an Italian restaurant you regularly get a bowl of shavings. The music was way too loud and we, a party of four, had a hard time holding up conversations. There was only one bathroom for the entire restaurant so one also had to spent too much time in line. Overall, quite disappointing. The burrata was good.

Went as part of a company do. Food was good but not spectacular. Service was attentive and chatty at the right level. Felt half empty and a bit Lacking in atmosphere, maybe due to it being an Early evening on a Thursday. Loved the cheese board but portions were too big for one and suitable for 2 people. I embarrassed to say I could not finish my portion.

We had a wonderful time and delicious food at Gino's INNSiDE tonight. Pedro was an incredible host and got us a glass of prosecco each for our anniversary which was a lovely touch. Will definitely be coming back.

Good authentic Italian pizza. Claudio our waiter was very kind and attentive. Definitely will be coming back!

Lovely atmosphere and attentive waiter but ordered 2 double pink Ginw which tasted like lemonade, even after they were replaced. Buttery mash was very runny and when added to a plate swimming in sauce it dissipated. Ordered salmon but with hindsight sould have opted for a pasta dish. Slightly dissapointed in the food and drinks but overall a nice place.

We had a lovely lunch with great service from the team including Pedro our server. It was also quite good value on the Lunch menu.

Overall experience was just ok. Redeeming factor is that the food was great. From the start we were told to sit and wait for our table, no offer to take a drink order during this. Had to ask for water for the table twice (normally you expect to be asked). Had a drink spilled on the table making everything sticky, the waiter was apologetic and cleaned some up but didn’t offer a refresher. We had to cancel our second round of drinks as after 15 minutes we’d already finished our food and had to leave soon after. The interior looks nice but the booth tables are so impractical, as a party of 2 we were sat next to each other, normally not much of an issue but it felt like you were facing the entire restaurant whilst eating and the booth itself was uncomfortable making us sit a little awkwardly. As mentioned the service wasn’t great, the staff were nice enough but didn’t really seem aware of what was going on. Finally the 2 drinks we had to cancel were included in the final bill. We paid the 10% service charge purely because the food was good.

They let me go in the kitchen and see a cool cheese wheel. Amazing food I had pizza and I will definitely be coming back.

The overall ambience of the Gino was fantastic and the food was delicious. The main thing is that all the waiters have a great attitude, and I had a great evening at Gino Manchester!

Pedro was an exceptional server- I am often a lone diner to this restaurant and I never feel that way when I am served, the staff are attentive knowledgeable and nothing is ever too much. Pedro’s extensive knowledge of the menu enabled me to have a truly wonderful experience and his recommendations were on point. Perfect dining experience!

Great Sunday lunch and atmosphere . Will defo be back , staff lovely and food was brilliant can’t recommend enough

Sat for 2 hours and didn’t get brought a biscuit very very bad service would never come again

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Friendly, welcoming staff, especially Pedro who served us. Will definitely be back !

Brilliant food, Pedro very attentive. Just the restaurant was far too warm

It was a very comfortable place to dine with my family, and we had a pleasant dinner of Italian food. Predo, our waiter, provided excellent professional services; we had a wonderful time there. Overall, it is a great place with friendly and quality staff.

Our waiter Giovanni was really friendly and looked after all our needs. He displayed a very professional and courteous service. Thanks Giovanni

Food were delicious and we were impressed by the selections of drinks. Servers were friendly and accomodating. Place however was in sort of hidden part of manchester. Would have helped if Gino was there 😉🚲

Had the best time at this restaurant with Pedro as our waiter. Food was exquisite and service was even better. Will definitely come back when we can!

Really liked our experience in the restaurant, we were there on a Sunday so it was a little quieter in a good way. The food was great (highly recommend the fettuccine al cinghiale) and the service from Giovanni was warm and helpful. Also their wine list is good!

Absolutely amazing service, food and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The waiter Paolo was great, very friendly and funny!

Brilliant time visiting for food with my girlfriend. Amazing atmosphere for a drink snd chat. The food was outstanding not overpriced i went for the calzone my girlfriend went for a pasta dish. Pedro” the waiter was apprehensive he did a great job catching all our needs. We will be revisiting

Pedro was such a lovely waiter and so helpful with us not liking a pizza but put through preference only. The good was delicious cant recommend enough!

Fantastic food and well decorated. The seafood linguine was perfect and the tuscan ribs are definitely a must-try.

Good very delicious. Robbie served us very well

Thank you Petro. It was very tasty and beautiful.

Amazing food pedro really looked after us definitely be back again

We popped into Gino’s for a bowl of pasta before our train home. Pedro took great care of us from start to finish, he was attentive but not intrusive and made our experience special. I know its not common to eat in a hotel restaurant but this meal was definitely worth it, and avoided the hustle and bustle of Manchester city centre late on a Saturday afternoon! Bucatini carbonara was 🤌🏽 would recommend to anyone. Thanks Pedro ☺️

Food was to die for and the staff were brilliant

I have never experienced a better Service in my live! Robbie & Pako have been extraordinarily welcoming and nice. The food was also perfect! Only the Music was a bit loud for me. But apart from that, the Ambiente was really good-looking.

Really enjoyed the meal our server Pedra was great, looking forward to coming back

Pedro, our waiter, was awesome!

The food here is always impeccable, special mention to our lovely waiter Pedro who made our experience so nice. He made sure our drinks were always topped up and was so polite

Pedro is amazing!!! Also, best chocolate fondue ever!

Pedro was very helpful The place is quiet, beautiful and very romantic. I will return often

I had dinner at Gino's with my son. We were helped by an enthusiastic Pedro who helped us all evening. My son and I ordered the truffle pasta which is definitely recommended. We had a wonderful evening.

Stunning food, and friendly professional service, all with that Gino twist! Recommend it highly

Pedro was absolutely amazing waitress definitely come back to see him !! Food was fantastic

Terrible service, inadequate staff due to the location of the restaurant, at the first course he presented us with the water bill while we were eating. He asks us to pay the drink bill, we had just started eating the appetizer. At the end of the service they didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee. We go to the counter and ask him for 3 coffees and he tells us that he had just cleaned the machine, but he gives them to us with disgust.

Absolutely appalling the COCKTAIL DI GAMBERETTI the prawns were warm the sea bass was clearly over cooked and dry the veal Milanese was dry and tasteless we did tell the staff and they kindly discounted 20% but still disappointing

Pedro was fabulous and attentive Thank you x

was prestigious restaurant with nice atmosphere. Food was tasty and staffs were friendly and caring. However, food didn't have any garnish and presentation was weak

Had a lovely dinner, the food was very good and the service from Pedro was fantatistic he was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. The food and service were excellent during our visit. Our waiter Pedro was attentive and polite throughout. Would recommend and will be retuning. Thank you

Honestly cannot fault this place - 5 stars in all areas and Pedro was awesome! Thanks Melia - where ever I am in the world I can always rely on you!

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

They need to put beans and a onion on the menu

A very pleasant experience in an elegant setting. Thanks for the excellent service Pedro.

The waitresses were very arrogant and had a very bad attitude. The food was not good, the pasta with black truffle and cheese was not good. At the end of the meal, the waiter said he didn't have any boxes to take away. The waiter is very arrogant and has a cold attitude. The food is really not good. The signature black truffle cheese pasta tastes just average. Finally, I wanted to take it away and the waiter said there was no takeout box.

not good. There are too many noodles and they are not allowed to be taken away.

Just had drinks on the terrace - sun trap - was so peaceful and relaxing. Service very good.

This restaurant was our choice because of our stay in the innside hotel and the experience couldn't be any better. Food is excellent and the environment even better. What an amazing staff!!!! Pedro really went far and beyond to make sure our visit was an unforgettable one. He took care of us on all 3 nights we stayed there. He was so professional and so knowledgeable that his recommendations were spot on. Definitely be back next time a visit Manchester. Kudos to the team.

Went for an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. The food was delicious and our server, Pedro, was great! Will definitely be back.

Great food (especially garlic bread) & great service - thank you Robbie! Menu feedback: it was disappointing that there was only 1 vegan main option & 1 vegan dessert option (sorbet). It would be great to see a few more options for vegans on the menu 😊

Excellent meal and service. Pedro was our server, couldn’t fault him. Only gave 4 stars for food as they didn’t have all the desserts on.

Went early Sunday. My Sunday lunch was amazing value, hot and tasty and great portion, could have that could have fed two. One star dropped because the seating alcove fabric had lots of stains on it, which looked so out of place to a high standard restaurant. Clean it.

Table for 2 can be quite a romantic restaurant to be in! Definitely an instagrammable restaurant for both food and deco as well as the staff! Family friendly as in service, space and their food! Large party and birthday, they won’t disappoint you! Must order their special menu to optimise your whole experience in the restaurant!

Poor quality meals at very high prices for what we were served, would not recommend it to my friends.

Wednesday lunchtime, so not the best atmosphere. The food was excellent! Really tasty, seasoned to perfection and everyone loved their's.

2nd.visit to a Ginos but First time in Manchester. Lively food attentive service. Paolo was excellent. Restaurant was great and clean. Food was amazing and great. Value

We stayed in Gino D’Acampo Mánchester past Easter and We were atended by Pedro, it was a wonderful family dinner thanks to this proffesional waiter. Thank you so much Pedro you made our day!

Excellent food and attentive service

Unexpectedly amazing night! First time there and I didn't know what to expect. Service was attentive, friendly and always available. Pedro our waiter and Darren were amazing, however the full team were really good. Food was exquisit and tasty. Mains came on time and the full experience was GREAT. Can not wait to come back.

The service and Food was fantastic. The staff was 5 Star 🌟 Excellent service from Manmel & Pedro

I visited them for dinner and even before order food basically there was a bug at the table dead , i asked the very helpful and very polite waiter for a napkin to remove it and he just stood there and looked at it and kept staring at me waiting me for the order i told him remove it then we can go back to my order, he surprisingly said “do you want me to remove it now ?” Yes i want you to remove it now ! he left i don’t know for how long doing other things before i get my jacket to leave then he came to clean it asking me if all good , no its not all good and he know it , just awful

We had an incredible stay at INNSiDE by Meliá Manchester(July 31-Aug 2), and Maricel at Gino’s played a huge part in making it so memorable. From the moment we arrived, Maricel went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was perfect. She was incredibly accommodating, always attentive, and made us feel right at home. Her warm hospitality and dedication to her work are truly commendable. Gino’s Restaurant is very lucky to have someone like Maricel on their team. Thank you, Maricel, for taking such great care of us—we can't wait to go back!!

Visited the restaurant today with my cousin had the 3 course meal from the lunch menu wow 👌 Absolutely outstanding food & service from the minute we walked in. The food was mind melting highly recommend and will most definitely visit again complimentary drinks included too, the passion martini hits the spot. 2 very satisfied customers visiting from Scotland.

Very good restaurant with a refined and welcoming atmosphere, excellent and professional service. The waiters Claudio and Roberto recommended some excellent wine and excellent dishes with delicious desserts at the end. We celebrated my wife's birthday with my daughters and son-in-law, definitely a beautiful memory. We will definitely return.

Magnificent tasty Italian food. Well done Gino.

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful staff. Food was incredible and our server Paolo was brilliant. Can’t wait to visit again!

Claudio has been absolutely brilliant! amazing service, lovely guy! Thanks so much for making our experience at ginos!

Great experience dining at Gino’s, my partner and I went for an evening meal of delicious food paired with a lively atmosphere, and received fantastic service from our server Pedro. Could not recommend more, and will definitely be coming back again soon!

Pedro was brilliant, lovely restaurant and food for the family

Great service and food this evening. Staff really friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend a visit. During summertime if you can sit out on the terrace, do, it's lovely!

Beautiful meal, extremely good service. Our waiter Paco went above and beyond!! The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and inviting. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in the service was exceptional. Paco's friendly and attentive demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience.

My second visit to Manchester now and I love the food and atmosphere. We ordered the lunch time menu which is good value for money. Definitely will be back x

I recently dined at Gino D'Acampo's Restaurant and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Jonny, whose impeccable service made the evening unforgettable. Jonny, with his great beard and charming Manchester accent, instantly brought a warm and welcoming vibe to our table. What stood out even more than his excellent service was Jonny's passion for snowboarding in the Canadian Rockies. His stories about his adventures on the slopes were captivating and added a unique personal touch to our dining experience. It's not every day you get to hear about thrilling snowboarding escapades while enjoying a delicious meal! Jonny's attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm were evident throughout the evening. He made excellent recommendations from the menu, ensuring each dish was perfectly suited to our tastes. His knowledge of the menu and the ingredients was impressive, and his suggestions greatly enhanced our dining experience. From keeping our glasses filled to checking in at just the right moments, Jonny's service was flawless. His friendly nature and engaging personality made us feel like we were dining with a friend rather than just a server. Overall, Jonny's exceptional service, combined with his unique background and passion for snowboarding, made our visit to Gino D'Acampo's Restaurant a truly special occasion. If you find yourself dining here, do yourself a favor and ask for Jonny. You'll be in for a treat!

The food was great and the service from Claudio our waiter first class

Great place to go for breakfast, wide selection of food from croissants to full breakfast. Cozy and peaceful environment, great location for anyone looking for an alternative to working from home (like myself) or just to chill reading a book. The staff is very friendly and courteous, Karolina and Emily always make me feel welcomed and looked after.

I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and dined at this place. Everything is amazing; the staff are courteous, and there's a great range of breakfast options, from cooked breakfast to everything else. The staff are attentive even at the busiest times! I've been to many places, but this is a superb place for breakfast.

Went with friends on 5 July, got the smoked salmon pasta, and ended up with food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhoea all night, lasted for quite a few days and liver enzymes are high beause of this. Been on meds for almost a month now because of the poor hygiene and despicable food quality. Not sure it the kitchen was unclean or the fish was expired, definitely never stepping foot in there ever again!

The food was good here, but it’s the people and service that make this a really lovely place to be. We’re so used to places where there aren’t enough waiters or they don’t really care, here the waiters were so lovely, they really cared and were making sure the people had a good time.

Claudio provided really good service. Food is amazing and there is a nice cosy atmosphere to dine in for one.

Brilliant waiter, patient and polite. Lovely meal and experience

Delicious food, served quickly, and the lovely Pedro was very friendly and accomodating.

The service from beginning ti end was impeccable, the food and drinks quality was unreal and i would 100% come to this restaurant again.

Beautiful in our eyes, all Gino's restaurants are superb 👌 Fantastico!!!

Excellent service throughout our meal. The food was faultless. We will definitely return.

Fantastic food, good cocktails and the service was impeccable. Would definitely return.

The food was delicious. Definitely recommend

We recently attended an event, and everything was absolutely fabulous. The food was delicious, the drinks were exquisite, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Mattia, Paolo, Pako, and Chris for making the evening unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. A well-deserved 5 stars! We will definitely be returning. Signed, Saliha Lefevre, Directrice de l’Alliance Française de Manchester

Enjoyed the food. But the portion size was too large. Added to this I found both my starter and main course to be too salty. I ordered minestrone soup to start and Milanese veal escalope for the main. I also think the meal was overpriced.

Delicious Italian food, big portion on polpete
