Giorgio's Italian Restaurant in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Bit of a mixed experience. Food was okay but definitely not worth what they’re charging, I’ve been to much nicer Italian restaurants in Manchester with much more reasonable pricing. We weren’t told when booking that we would only have access to the set 2 course pre-theatre menu, I would have chosen another restaurant had I known this. I’m not sure what time you’re allowed a proper menu, we booked at 5:30. The toilets are tiny and in the lady’s one of the doors is swollen and doesn’t shut. They are clean but your legs are sat right up against the bin in the toilet. If you were plus size or had mobility issues (the toilets are down a flight of stairs also) I think you might struggle. There were a few little things that were missed, the salt and pepper were in the wrong containers so you couldn’t get any pepper through the single hole. Things like clearing side plates after starters, replacing used cutlery etc. we had to ask for. On a positive note, they catered for our gluten free guest- they have gluten free pasta (although her starter of soup came without any bread as they didn’t have a replacement for this). The servers we had were lovely and they calculate the check with and without a service charge and you can choose which you pay which is nice.

Lovely friendly staff, food was really good and it had a nice atmosphere Pre theatre menu is great value. We will return soon

We came here to celebrate my birthday and had a lovely evening. A typical, noisy and fun Italian restaurant with excellent manager and staff. The food was delicious - my husband voted the lasagne one of the best he's had and my steak was very tasty. It is a tad expensive but it's in the city being convenient, as many have mentioned, to the Palace theatre.

Booked pre theatre menu that had good choice & excellent value for money. From the moment we arrived the staff were attentive & friendly. Drinks served promptly. Lovely atmosphere & the place filled up quite quickly. The food was hot & delicious & good size portions. Lovely hidden gem Italian restaurant. Would definitely recommend Lovely visit

Restaurant is OK but overpriced for what it is, especially the drinks. Beer only available in little 330ml bottles & at a whopping £6,75 a bottle. The food is nice enough but again, overpriced. I had a decent chicken risotto & bottle of beer. Would have stayed longer & had more drinks & perhaps desert but not at those prices.

The food was amazing! Best carbonara I’ve ever had! Great sizes and great prices Owner and the staff were all great and attentive

We booked the restaurant for the pre Theatre Dinner, the food was excellent and so was the service. I would highly recommend this restaurant

A fab find just around the corner from the Palace Theatre so perfect for a pre-show meal and drink. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, the little touch of filling our fizz glass as he walked past was appreciated. We both ate pizza - huge and very flavoursome! The toilets are downstairs and a little tired.

This is the perfect Italian restaurant, especially as it is only a two minute walk from the Palace Theatre. The service was brilliant as the staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely fantastic, rich with flavour. The atmosphere was nice but a little busy, which is to be expected since it was a Saturday evening. I think that reserving is a must on the weekends and Fridays as it can probably be difficult to get a table without one. Overall a wonderful experience and I would love to eat here again!

Great italian just around the corner from the Theatre , busy as pre show time . Manager a welcoming warm character a real people person . Food arrived very quickly after ordering as we mentioned we were seeing a show at the theatre . Food very good . Definitely go back if visiting that part of Manchester again .

The food was excellent and the service was extremely friendly. So much so we booked again for the Saturday.

Put simply, Giorgio's not only had the best tasting food during my and my boyfriend's short stay in Manchester, but were also by far and away the most accommodating and friendly! When we walked in it was clearly extremely busy, yet the front of house...

Ideal location for pre or post theatre meal. Fresh food provided with care in pleasant surroundings.

Great Italian food and service and we had been before BUT the prices have sky rocketed and too expensive. Ribs for starters £9.95 very tasty but not enough for the money. Only 3 ribs with little on them. Main course Lasagna again great food but...

Called in unexpectedly (due to rain) and found this gem of a restaurant on way to the Palace Theatre & took advantage of their pre-theatre menu. Excellent customer service, a warm welcome & wet coats taken, all with a smile. The food was great &...

We found this gem of a restaurant whilst looking for a pre theatre dinner and what a delight it was. I have never been so warmly welcomed. The food was delicious, wine perfect and the customer service second to none. The manager was exceptional. Thank...

Always a must go when we are in Manchester. Service and staff great! Food delicious! Can’t wait to return!

We came across this restaurant by chance whilst out on a Saturday night, expecting at 7.45pm to be out of luck for finding somewhere last minute for food, we were however in luck that as busy as they were, they had a spare table for...

Fantastic. Gorgeous intimate restaurant. The staff are very welcoming and looked after us from start to finish. The food was fab and the nicest meal out I have had in a long time. Not one fault to mention. Will absolutely be returning when next in...

We visited Giorgio's for the first time on sat 14th oct as we were watching a show just down the road and I was treating my husband for his birthday! We arrived a little late due to traffic but this was no problem, the man...

Wow what can I say an absolutely gorgeous meal I had lasagne it’s the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had a fair few ! My hubby and daughter had pizza which looked amazing, the owner was fab such a nice day and the waiter...

Another gorgeous meal at this restaurant! We visit every time we go to the theatre. Great pre theatre menu, fab choices and lovely staff and service. Highly recommended

Firstly the staff were very welcoming and warm. So lovely and accommodating. The food was gorgeous and the pizza was better than the ones we had in Lake Garda in July. Will definitely be back

Last minute walk in, been here before a long time ago, its great to be back dining in such a friendly relaxed and lovely designed restaurant down below Portland st in Manchester city. Service was really inviting, so friendly and attentive, great humour as well....

This place is INCREDIBLE! Me and my mom love Italian so thought we’d give this place a go as the reviews looked good and WOW! The best Italian food I’ve ever had. I had the brunette and then knocci and my mom had the prawn...

Wow, this restaurant is a little hidden gem. The food was exceptional and plentiful. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return

Really enthusiastic friendly staff , a good menu and very tasty food. We arrived quite late on a rainy evening after a long journey. We received a wonderful friendly welcome. It was a very memorable experience.

Leuk en vriendelijk restaurant in het hartje van Manchester. Heerlijke broschetta en fijne bediening. Aardig personeel en gewoon lekker gegeten.

Stopped here for some pre-theatre lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it, from the warm welcome to the delicious food. The service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to share a pizza with our daughter (as there isn't a kid's menu). It's not cheap (£60...

Went here for dinner on Sunday evening and for the price paid the food was utter garbage! An utter insult to Italian cooking. The Egg plant parmagiana was slop. I foolishly ordered the veal Milanese which was utterly horrid. £35 for two pieces of overly...

My boyfriend and I had a delicious dinner and lovely experience here. The staff were exceptional from the moment we walked in with the owner/manager's friendly greeting and each of the wait staff were very attentive. The food was lovely. We both had bruschetta to...

Very friendly. Came for a show at the theatre. Popped in there was a table available and made us feel very welcome the food and service was impressive and we will definitely return if we are in the area again.

Experience not great. We reserved a table for half 6 thinking we’d be out within the hour due to seeing a show after, we arrived and no table was available for us. We were told to sit at the bar - a tiny island in...

Arriving well before they closed post lunch, it wasn’t overly busy, so immediately seated. Had chicken pasta and a meat means. All most tasty. Desserts were inviting so indulged. With coffee and cappuccino. Staff were lovely, from welcome to leaving. After this satisfying interlude, returned...

Both the food and service was incredible. Lovely atmosphere. Overall very good, would definitely recommend especially the lasagne!

We went in for lunch it was absolutely incredible, one of our new favourite Italian restaurants lovely staff, cosy friendly environment the food was a 10/10!

We recently visited Georgios for a pre theatre meal going on the good reviews on this site. Big mistake. We were shown to a table that was so close to another we could hear their conversation in full detail. The whole restaurant felt cramped. One...

Food was nice but the service was poor, it felt very disorganised. We ate our main course with our dirty starter plates left on our table. Couldn’t believe it when paying the bill that the waiter actually asked for a tip ! My daughter and...

The first time I visited this restaurant was over 20 years ago, it’s remains one of my favourites in Manchester! Lovely service, great food, efficient and friendly!

We had to choose from the set pre-theatre menu and was told we could not order from the main menu which was a shame as the menu was small. However caprese salad and pizza were very nice. The service for drinks was very slow and...

Great trip to Giorgio’s as a party of 8 that turned into 9! Thank you to the owner for the complimentary garlic tomato bread for sorting out the mix up we really appreciated it xx the food was excellent as was the service , a...

Had dinner here with another family. Waited over 45 minutes to get our drinks and at that we had to ask. Bruschetta was that hard you would have needed a hammer and chisel to cut the bread. Other food was okay but would not return

Every month my brother and I visit Georgios for evening meal before travelling to the Bridgwater Hall to listen to the Halle . The service as soon as you walk in is waiting for you to show you to your table. The menu pre concert...

Nice restaurant with good food and a nice atmosphere (provided you are say in the front of the restaurant). Service is painfully slow though.

very lovely restaurant food fantastic staff very helpful and friendly well worth need to book early doors

Outstanding food and service on a visit to Manchester- staff extremely friendly and attentive - food outstanding ❤️ very decent portions too . Daughter and her pal lived it !

What can I say …. Booked this months in advance Turned up on time to be told no table wait at the bar !!! Food arrived after I had asked when I would get it I had exactly 7 mins to eat my lasagne which...

Really lovely restaurant in a great location. The food was lovely and really generous portions, the calzone was amazing. Service and staff were great, especially Davide who is a credit to the restaurant

Went there on the spare of the moment. The food and the service were second to non. Ended up going back three times in two weeks as the food was so good. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic restaurant, the best customer service and the food was just amazing, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Would really recommend this place

Went here due to reviews our experience wasn't great. Table booked for 5.30pm for pre theater dinner 2 courses. 3 adults and a 4 yr old. We arrived on time and were shown to a table in a back room where there were 4 other...

Fantastic evening with great people. Had a lovely night. Will be back soon. First visit but definitely not the last

We were visiting prior to lion king show took 15mins for drinks to arrive 45mins for main meals we were given small portions from the 2 course menu and not full portions when paying full price menu. Had to rush our meal kids portion was...

Booked this for a birthday celebration before going to the theatre, this visit was disappointing. we arrived at our booking time and our table wasn't ready, we were asked to go to the bar for a drink. now the car area isn't that big so...

One of the first to arrive, greeted warmly. Restaurant filled up and there was a lovely atmosphere All tables taken but service and food excellent and prompt. We wouldn't hesitate to go again.

We were really looking forward to our meal here, we were seated for 15 minutes until finally I asked someone if we could order a drink and see a menu, they were very busy so got over this. But then 1.5hrs later and still no...

Excellent meal - starters mixed olives and bread was great and the pizza beautiful. The manager was ready friendly and attentive

We were unable to access the la Carte menu as the above limited menu was only available apparently because of foot fall demand which doesn’t make much sense as a full restaurant is a full restaurant? Has no logic. Paid £5.00 each for a side...

The service was terrible, we waited nearly two hours for our food and when we informed the manager of our disappointment with the service he was extremely rude ! We had no complaint about the food but feel the service and manager totally let the...

Visited this restaurant on Wednesday 11 th Jan at around midday. We were looking for somewhere to eat before going to the theater. On entering, we were immediately made to feel very welcome and shown to a table. We ordered a pre theater offer. Both...

Me and my boyfriend ate here on New Year’s day, and were fairly disappointed with the food. Maybe we just got unlucky with what we ordered, but for starters we had BBQ ribs and wings, which were served lovely and hot, very tender, however the...

This was our first visit back in over 3 years. I would say it is essential to book if you are going to the theatre afterwards as they were incredibly busy during the time we were there (1700-1830). Having said that I was very impressed...

Visited with my wife before the lion king. Should of took a tesco meal deal. 25 minutes to get our drinks ( overpriced peroni £6,25) and gin & lemonade. If you have absolutely all the time in the world, now i mean time as in...

Visited before going to watch the Lion King. The restaurant was busy as you'd expect on a Saturday on the run up to Christmas. However the food and the service was good. Would visit again before going to the theatre

We waited over an hour between our starter and main course and we’re almost late for the theatre. Restaurant not that busy but I had to ask repeatedly for our mains. The food was nice but then when we got the bill we’d been overcharged...

Really underwhelming experience from start to finish. Pricing does not reflect the quality provided. Definitely overpriced, food bland and reheated in a microwave.

I have visited this restaurant a few times with friends when on a theatre trip. The food is beautiful and the pre theatre dinner is good value at £22.50 for two courses. However this visit was disappointing for a few reasons. We were seated with...

Took grandaughter for meal before theatre, given pre theatre menu 22.50 each. The food arrived I ordered mushroom 🍄 with garlic butter, they were from a tin, tasteless, hardly any garlic piece of bread no butter. Chicken wings were ok. Small portion 4. Then I...

What can I say - an incredible little find. From the moment we walked in we were looked after by the owner. He was so friendly and really funny. He made us feel at ease and recommended some incredible food. The garlic bread was the...

One of the oldest remaining family owned restaurants in the city managed with style and aplomb by affable owner Nicos whom have known now over for some 30 years.

Fantastic food and value We visited for a friend’s birthday and food was excellent as was the service. The restaurant gave our friend a free drink and a free garlic bread starter. Service was second to none. An excellent independent that needs your support

Italian food lovers: avoid it ! - Reservation not registered - Very quick service (...) - Unworthy Lasagna - Tasteless pizza quattro formaggi - Undrinkable wine (Vermentino) -> you can order a pizza with pineapple ! -> paid cash and the 'boss' asked me if...

Booked at Giorgio for Sunday evening. Felt welcome on arrival, the staff were very friendly. The restaurant was quiet, but it was a Sunday after all. Food was really good, pizzas,well cooked, tasty and large. Staff were attentive but not overpowering. Would definitely eat at...

Came here before the theatre. After reading the reviews of other Italians nearby, which were not very good, we came here. This use to be one of my favs when I was a student, 20 years ago, and although it’s decor has changed since then,...

First visit to Giorgio’s pre theatre and very impressed. Really good vibe and atmosphere and excellent food with very good portion sizes. Lovely staff in particular Olly our waiter, very friendly , excellent service and had good banter with him, he is an asset to...

First visit to Giorgio’s prior to theatre and very impressed. Really nice vibe and atmosphere, lovely food and very good portion sizes. Our waiter Olly was a star, great service, really friendly and had good banter with him. Definitely going back there, highly recommended

Fabulous food , Soup and salmon for me , prawn cocktail and chicken for the boss , pre theatre deal £22.50 each well worth it , wine a bit pricey , great staff and a fantastic atmosphere Dave and Lisa Mather

We didn't have a table booked My cousin and I just fell across this restaurant fortunately for us we were shown to a table and we enjoyed a lovely meal! We will be back and will make sure we book beforehand we want to ensure...

Another visit to this fabulous restaurant which offer an amazing pre-theatre deal. I had prawn cocktail which was delicious, but I do think it should be served with brown bread rather than just a salad - just saying! My pollo alla crema was delicious and...

21st September 2022. 5:30pm. 3 persons. This busy well-established Italian restaurant is ideal for anyone visiting the nearby Palace Theatre who require a good meal before the performance (usually 19:30). Advance reservations are absolutely necessary to avoid disappointment, and booking for 5pm -5:30pm is advisable...

Great service and atmosphere, superb food and plenty of laughs. Complimentary pizzas and limoncello. Thanks for the birthday drinks. Thanks very much Mum, Linda, Emma and gang.

What can I say except it was absolutely divine. Super service , very happy. I ordered from the specials board, lobster ravioli with a glass of the Sauvignon house wine. Oh and a cheesy tomatoey garlic bread to die for, mama Mia🤷‍♀️

We were staying in Manchester with family for a couple of nights and found this Italian close to the hotel. Wow, I can highly recommend this place. The staff were so lovely, welcoming and friendly. Complimentary garlic bread whilst we waited for our starters and...

I visited here for a friends birthday. Lived in Manchester and seen this place for years but never tried before. The staff are so lovely. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The meal deal off was great. Everyone was really happy with the food. To...

My friends and I went to this restaurant one night and it was so good we went back the next night. The food is delicious and received excellent service, particularly on the second night. Our waitress on the second night was Natalya and she built...

Had a family meal here last Tuesday(9.8.22), great atmosphere when arrived and was taken to our table by a very enthusiastic gentleman, and given the menus. We picked this restaurant as it had some good reviews and my 2 sons were wanting (craving) Italian, (we...

We ate at Georgio’s to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. We received a very warm welcome with a complementary Prosecco for Hannah. Our host couldn’t have been more friendly and the food & surroundings were perfect. A lovely place to enjoy good food.

Went before going to Palace theatre. Pre theatre menu was £22 for 2 courses which was fine. Food though was just average. Prawns tasted very cheap and watery. The biggest shock was the drinks.....two lime and sodas......£12!!! How can anyone justify this? Definitely won't be...

We last visited Giorgio’s in 2015 and loved it so when it came to arranging a big birthday surprise for my wife I built the events around a meal here. Booking was simple through the web site and received plenty of reminders beforehand. Having booked...

Arriving on a busy Thursday teatime we received a friendly greeting and quickly sat down . Menus given and drinks ordered although there wasn't any slimline tonic and water for another guest was in a small glass. Pizzas acceptable but not the best. Lasagne was...

We visited here as a couple. We were seated by a very very pushy man, I believe he was the manager. When seated I asked for a water where I was told no and then offered drinks which I did not want. After saying I...

Lovely meal with the family for my Daughters Graduation . Lovely gesture from the restaurant for the occasion of Garlic Bread between us and shots and also a glass of Prosecco for my daughter. The atmosphere was fab and service great too. The food was...

Came to celebrate my graduation and on arrival i was given a small 20cl bottle of prosecco, free garlic bread for the table and we were all given a shot each too! q The food was amazing (one of the best carbonara’s i’ve had) and...

My daughter and I went on a whim on Saturday 23/7/22. We liked the look of the menu outside. We weren't disappointed. Very friendly and attentive staff, Starters were beautiful, my daughter had the button mushrooms in garlic and I pinched a couple. Absolutely delicious,...

Excellent service, food choice and location. The owner and staff very friendly and accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed meal.

My husband and I went here before the theatre as they had a pre theatre offer advertised outside, however this wasn't the case inside so we felt pressured to order from the main menu. We were asked on entering had we booked and when we...

Been a few times now and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff at this family run business are lovely. They are all helpful and very friendly. Mark & Louise (Sheffield) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a pre-theatre meal. Excellent and friendly service. Swift without being rushed, attentive without being intrusive. Food was delicious and portions generous- couldn’t finish mine!! Great ambiance. Would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone

although the food was mediocre, prices were quite high and the place was empty. man wouldn’t stop staring at us eat that worked there and made us quite uncomfortable. the chips were £5!! they were cold. however we got free chocolate at the end so...

Food we had was delicious-just one course as we were on a hurry for a gig- the service excellent and staff very accommodating. Many thanks
