L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Manchester

Absolutely delicious pizza. One of the best pizzerias in Manchester. Would highly recommend and revisit. The staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Yolanda it’s the best host and waitress I’ve ever met the pizza and the lemon cake were amazing but was Yolanda who stole the show come and ask for her ✨

really nice place, the top recommendations must be truffle mushroom pizza and fries!! Btw Yolanda is a lovely lady, very kindly experience!

They accommodated us a party of five which was great at 5.30 pm on a Saturday. Food was excellent, enormous pizza, generous size garlic bread. Individual dishes were adequate. They even had take out boxes for leftovers. The only points that would make me consider booking this restaurant, the temperature of the building was on the cool side and the attention from some members of staff was lacking. We didn't get our drinks delivered with or before food and had to remind staff twice that we hadn't received our drinks order. Coffee served lukewarm.

Fancy, beautiful place and design inside, very affordable, quick service, best pizzeria in Manchester ❤️

Fantastic experience and service. Very Instagramable place and decor in a former bank with high ceilings and wooden paneling check out that bar with its internal lighting made of cut quartz

The best service I’ve ever had . As someone who’s worked in hospitality a lot . The whole restaurant if gorgeous . And our server Yolanda was so kind and funny and made the best cocktails . The food was an unreal everything was amazing .

We felt like at home. My wife and I spent an excellent evening at the Antico Pizzeria da Michele and ate an excellent Neapolitan pizza as per tradition. Very kind staff and highly qualified pizza chefs made in NAPLES. Mandatory stop for all Neapolitans and beyond.

Perfect pizza, perfect people, wonderful place for a pizza

I recently visited **L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele** and had an incredible dining experience. The pizza was cooked to perfection in their traditional fire oven, which added an authentic touch to the overall experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a true taste of Italy, this pizzeria is a must-visit.

It's a beautiful place, but they're saving in heating so grab a heavy coat to have a meal

The best pizza outside of Italy. The pizzas are bigger than the dish they're served on, tasty and filling. Chef Paolo is really the best, and Yolanda welcomes you with open arms that it's almost like getting a hug from mum. Definitely THE place for a good pizza in a family atmosphere, will definitely be back!

Unfortunately and I underline unfortunately, I find myself forced to review this restaurant despite the excellent service and the beautiful environment: I find it necessary to understand whether it was a coincidence that I felt bad, or whether some changes are appropriate. In fact, I ordered a Sausage and broccoli, with vegan dough, even though I am not vegan, because I struggle to digest traditional dough, and even in Italy I always take kamut, or spelled, or wholemeal dough. Here I wasn't told what the dough was and I didn't ask since I didn't see any options on the menu, so I trusted the only dough available that wasn't the traditional one. Let's start with the seasoning: too much, literally too much. It would be enough for 3 people, maybe more. And, since I don't like to waste food, even though it was too much I wanted to finish it. Let's move on to the dough: never eaten something with a similar taste. I repeat, I don't know what it was, and I was expecting kamut or spelled (at least in Italy the alternatives are always those). I ate something that tasted very strange. Finally, there was too much oil, it overflowed everywhere and left my hands very greasy. Too much, too much oil. That certainly didn't help either. Moral of the story, I felt sick as soon as I finished the last slice with difficulty, despite being 28 years old and used to eating a lot. I drank as much water as I could and headed to the hotel, walking, making an immense effort: my heart was begging for mercy. A pizza shouldn't make you feel sick, I also ask the restaurant at this point if perhaps it wouldn't be better to reduce the ingredients and reconsider vegan doughs. It's really a shame because I really wanted to go to a nice restaurant in a place like this, and as an Italian I'm doubly sorry to leave a negative review, but guys, I was really sick, and it's the first time after eating a pizza. I hope it can be a constructive review for this beautiful and prestigious, and Italian, restaurant.

The food was very fresh and tasty. The service from Yolande was amazing and we will definitely be back!

We had lunch here. Very good pizza, a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Good food, appalling service 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Napoletana pizza I ordered was missing the main ingredient, anchovies. When I mentioned it to a member of staff my pizza was taken away and then the same pizza was given back to me with some anchovies added on top. I would have been absolutely fine with it, had the staff owned up to the mistake and apologised. These things happen. But I was told that the anchovies were already there under the cheese and it's basically my fault I haven't noticed them. Come on. The flavour of anchovies is so strong there's no way I missed it. Ruined the experience 😐

The place is very pretty but it is cold and the atmosphere is spoiled by the loud modern music. The food is good. We had the carbonara and the truffle pizza. The service is deplorable. We had to ask to take our order even though two tables set up after us had already ordered. They brought us the dishes even though we had not finished the starter. We skipped dessert due to the service. Damage. A word of advice: order a pizza to take away or for delivery and save yourself the restaurant service.

Super recommended, impeccable service from Yolanda. We'll be back

Top Location, Excellent Service.

Super good food, especially the pizzas. And great attention from the staff, especially Yolanda, who when she saw that we were Spanish helped us a lot.

Authentic Neapolitan pizza, located in an old bank, spectacular place. Yolanda is very nice and has great treatment.

Incredible Neapolitan pizzas, contrasted with those in Naples. Good time service, Yolanda attended to us, very nice and professional. The gluten free option for celiacs is the best you can try.

Delicious pizza, just like the originals from Naples. Special thanks to Yolanda, who took great care of us :)

Federica is excellent and kind. She delivered the service to the highest level. Good job.

Really cold. All had to wear our coats and when we mentioned how cold it was to the waiter he said "yeah, we get alot of complaints about that". Clearly needs fixing then, made for a very uncomfortable experience!

Perfect ambiente. Perfect pizza. Perfect drinks. Perfect ambiente and looking. Very good Restaurant , pizzas are delicious and big. 👏🏽👌🏽

Finding ourselves in Manchester at Christmas we unexpectedly found this beautiful and elegant pizzeria/restaurant/pub. We were immediately welcomed by a young woman named Yolanda who put us at ease by fulfilling our every request. We recommend you visit it and wish all the staff a peaceful and holy Christmas. Thank you soon, bye Yolanda from Sciacca.

To be honest I wasn't expected it that bad!! Came last night with a friend . Restaurant half empty. So we had 3 different waters coming at our tables asking me if I was finish regarding my friend is still eating . Prerry annoying . Quality of pizza!! Honestly except it was a large pizza I Don t know where you bought the ingredient but fir sure they are not fresh!! 1 simple ingredients is the mushroom. They are from a can . Not even fresh!! Artichoke absolutely tasteless from a can. Sorry but I have 20 years of hospitality and this pizza went to wrong hand. Cover charge for 4 pieces of old bread!!2.50 GBP per person .. my friend had rhe proxiutto and rocket pizza and that s she gets no more. Not even a bit of shave parmesam or dressing. Prosciutto was vert blend . I wanted to put 0 star fir food but couldn't. Honestly you will do a better pizza at home . Sorry it s pricey and bad.

I had a really nice dinner with my family. The restaurant was incredibly pleasing to the eyes and it provided me with a sense of calmness and relaxation. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and would recommend the restaurant to people who want a flavor of Italy.

A very pleasant experience, the pizza was delicious and the prices affordable. Yolanda did everything possible to make us feel at home, she even played Christmas carols for us! Super recommended :)

Walk in on a Saturday night 6pm and plenty of availability. Too much availability - no people no atmosphere. Beautiful building but very cold portable heaters were dotted about but many people eating in coats. Drinks very very expensive 50ml vodka £12 +++ mixer extra. Biggest comment was the male waiter was very rude. I wanted to keep the laminated menu to check other things to order but he insisted he took it incase I got it dirty ?? It’s a laminated piece of paper ? Really rude and whole experience was ruined. They charge you mandatory 2.50 to sit down and bring you a slice of bread to justify it. Spaghetti was like M&S microwave. Mushroom and truffle pizza was actually really good. Mixed experience but wouldn’t recommend. To add the next day had awful belly pains and toilet habit so not sure what their kitchen hygiene cleanliness is like.

I love this place. Gluten free pizza🍕 and pasta!🍝 Yolanda and Frazer are kind. See u sooooon💛 Elisa 🇮🇹

Fantastic place and spot on service the pizza fabulous

Ordered on uber eats pizza was discussing the cheese was rock hard and pizza a soft dough not cooked through and arrived cold. Was drenched in ketchup

If we'd of known how big the pizza was would definitely not of ordered sides, they are bigger than the plate, so tasty and filling couldn't finish it. Set inside a beautiful building, you need to look up to appropriate it. Only downside was it wasn't busy so did lack atmosphere, but there was football and a concert going on at the same time. But definitely worth a visit would highly recommend.

Quiet lunchtime. Big place with cold spots. Food was good, service was fine until after the food...they seemed to have a prob with the coffee order. Had the place been full & busy then ok, but with only 3 other tables... Might give it another go......

Yolanda the best waitress in Manchester!!! Friendly professional 5 stars

Just left after being sat and waiting for 20 mins without being asked for drinks order or food order. Staff were clearing tables and taking payments but seems we were invisible. Not sure it was noticed when we left.

Great pizza and wonderful service from the waiters, especially from Yolanda :).

Best pizza in Manchester. Simple as that. Service so familiar and warm.

Ivan is the besssssttt!!!!!! The food is perfect

The pizza was so delicious ivan was very friendly

Lacking in atmosphere on this December Monday afternoon as we were only 1 of 2 tables in this very spacious restaurant. Staff pleasant. Meals average. Nothing wrong but certainly had better calzone and carbonara.

An enjoyable visit with excellent food! The only downside was that the service was far too slow (took 15 minutes to get served!)

Fancy location in a former bank building - great look and atmosphere, the food was very good (had Pizza Diavola and Penner Arrabiata) and the service was great - highly recommended. Prices are quite high for us Germans, but that's more general and not restaurant-related

Went in on a Friday night at 8pm with no booking. No atmosphere which is no ones fault but shows how the level of service has gone down recently. The server that helped us was very pushy on giving us alcohol when we didn't want it. Twice. The bolognaise I ordered was nearly £19 for a tiny portion. The establishment feels very tacky and fake. seems like a Greek temple made of out plastic within a warehouse. Not the greatest experiencing and could definitely do with some improvements listed.

The best of the best! Best food, best service and best local. A place to repeat for sure!

Yolanda was really kind and funny. We had amazing food and the place was cozy.

Good, and really cool place, but not many vegan options

Yolanda the best waitress in the world.

Very well!! Yolanda bring us a perfect service 👌🏻👌🏻

Everything perfect, Yolanda's service has been 10

I came here with my friend on a random Wednesday and I can say the service was 10/10 the food very very delicious I had a Pizza and I just felt like I’m italy again, and the pizza was huge, also the staff was very friendly

Had to come here since visting the London branch and it did not disappoint. Slight difference in the presentation (a lot less olive oil vs London), but I prefer the Capriccioa from here. As well as the friendly (and informative) staff. Repurposed a Victorian bank and worth a visit for the atmosphere alone. Edit: another visit a year later, still my favourite pizza place. Yolanda was a delight as well.

Jolanda very kind and welcoming, top service!

I ended up there by chance, I was passing through, and I wanted to try the pizza. As an Italian I usually don't trust pizzas abroad, but this one was very good. Thin, not at all heavy and chewy like some pizzas. The place is very beautiful, it is a former bank from the early 1900s. And, last but not least, Yolanda and Fatou are very kind and very good! Yolanda in particular is very nice, and I stood talking to her in Italian, given that as a Spanish speaker she speaks it well, having lived in Italy. Highly recommended restaurant!

Yolanda was lovely , she made us comfortable and was a delight. Another tall girl here was also lovely and attentive to our orders.

Gorgeous building, lovely friendly service and great pizzas. Especially enjoyed a lovely cocktail too. 🙂

Terrible service. We refused to pay the service charges, and the manager rudely swore and claimed we had spent 3 hours in the restaurant. In reality, most of that time was spent waiting for the food, which was served dish by dish with significant delays. (Soggy pizza) We even had to repeatedly ask for basic necessities like plates—five times in total! On top of that, the staff kept pressuring us to order dessert, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. We couldn’t even enjoy the experience or take photos. Avoid this place! As an Italian I wouldn't recommend their pizza.

Food was v good, service was terrible. What looked like the manager, very rude, very arrogant. Visited this franchise in London and Naples, never had such dire service

Incredible place, great food and unique attention!

I came here this evening I was dismissed by the gentleman at the front for a table. But people who came in after me were seated first. I ordered a pizza with truffle fries which came way after we finished the pizza. Overall service was shocking food was amazing. Would not go back again because of the service

Great service and food. Yolanda and Stephany were really lovely, we will definitely be back 😊

Great service, thanks to Yolanda and Daniel for individualized and personal attention

Great atmosphere. Pizza was great. Yolanda was amazing, very friendly, and professional.

There is an employee called Yolanda, she is kindest soul ever, she always welcomes me and my cousin so nicely :) We call the place Yolanda not the actual name ahahahahah 😂😂

Yolanda is the best! She is so kind and funny and makes my day! Food is fantastic as well. Best tiramisu in Manchester :)

Delicious food, excellent service. Thanks to Yolanda and Estefany for their attention.

Great restaurant! The service was excellent, Yolanda and Estefany were very attentive and friendly. We will come back.

Beautiful and astonishing building as a old bank gives brings you back in time but the interior design brings you back! Amazing service from Yolanda that kept me entertained and the most important is the pizza so delicious! So long I didn't have such a tasty pizza!

Very fast with the service. Friendly staff.

Great cooking experience and top notch staff 🤩

SHOCK IN LOVE! Wonderful location, warm service (Yolanda), AND THE FOOD! DELICIOUS. We felt like we were in Italy for an hour. A MUST when in Manchester!

Authentic Napoletana pizza in the heart of Manchester- YES PLEASE! Incredible service by the lovely Yolanda! She made the experience so incredible. And what a stunning location!

Yolanda and Estefany were amazing great service Thankyou

Would highly recommend 10/10 food and Yolanda is one of the nicest waitress' ive ever met. Definitely recommend!

Really delicious pizza with great atmosphere and staff.I will be back there for sure!

Yolanda was lovely! Food hit the nail 👌

We love the food and the building. The staff are fantastic, we will come again and again and again

Fab pizza, wine and nidini and amazing service from Yolanda

Jolanda is a great server, we really had the best time! Great service and great food!

The waiters rush around too much and the pizza is large in size but lacklustre in toppings and flavour.

Absolutely amazing experience at L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The pizza was out of this world – a true taste of authentic Italian cuisine, with that perfect blend of crispy and chewy crust. The tiramisu was light, creamy, and indulgent, while the bruschetta was fresh and full of flavor. The real stars of the night were Yolanda, the manager and Pinaiolo Santolo, the chef – their warmth and hospitality made the evening even more special. You can really tell how much passion they have for their food and guests. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this gem for a true Italian dining experience!

I got pizza from this place on deliveroo and was excited to give it a try. But unfortunately it was very disappointing and inedible. The pizza was far too soggy for my taste, I could have got pass that but the base and crust was very bitter ruining the flavour of the pizza. My pizza was too salty, bitter, burnt in parts and soggy at the same time and it is beyond me how that is even possible. I just wish that at some point they refine their pizza technique so it can retain its distinctive style which the burnt taste ruining my entire meal.

Amazing service and great restaurant venue. A perfect blend of "Instagramable" decor, and classic rustic Italian family values, staff and flavours.

Beautiful location, nothing to do with that of Naples (the opposite); the pizza is distantly related to that of Naples (therefore discreet). Fast and kind service. I don't know if I would go back

Pizza done perfectly. Enjoyed the truffle pizza, nicely balanced flavours. Friendly staff, good service.

Was amazing the evening there. The service was excellent, always concerned about our well-being. The pizza is delicious, Italian! Very tasty and made with great care and attention. We ordered an Italian dessert on the recommendation of the waiters, everything was wonderful. I would like to thank the manager Yolanda who gave us the proper attention and excellent service throughout the evening. Congratulations on the establishment, we will be back again.

Take your appetite as the pizzas are huge. Yolande was our very helpful server, walking us through the options on the menu to make sure we got just what we wanted. Had a delicious white pizza of sausage and friarelli and split a dessert of nodini for lunch and very happily did not need to eat the rest of the day. The decor is amazing, too

Goood will recommend Federica was very helpful and very nice

Waiter was very friendly and attentive, however he was let down by the kitchen staff. They were unable to produce two bowls of pasta in 40 mins!! The focaccia was in fact garlic pizza dough. Not like focaccia we all know!!! Very disappointing!!!

The food was served so slowly. Two drinks were served in half an hour. It was hilarious. The neighbor ordered later than us and the pizza was served🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely amazing place and service but pizza 🍕 unfortunately wasn't that good at all. Not crispy and very soggy not worth the price. 4/10 for pizza and 10/10 on place and decorations. No drought beers as well.

Great. Couldn’t get in anywhere, found this place. Really good. And fantastic building and interior.

First time today. Lovely clean building. Fantastic staff and service from beginning to end. Pizzas are the best I've had in a long time. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be going again because the staff were so lovely, plus great food.

Food was great and the building is just stunning. Thank you Yolanda and Federica.

Food was lovely and federica provided great service and was very friendly overall a nice experience and lovely food

Great dining experience, atmosphere and service. Yolanda was an amazing server and made great conversation. I’d highly recommend the gnocchi, truffle ravioli, and truffle pizza.

Great atmosphere, gorgeous restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food, on the expensive side

Great pizza and Moe made sure we have everything we needed on time. Great service and place!
