L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Manchester

High quality Italian food at a fair price and with amazing service. Very beautiful place. I recommend it.

Decemt food but service charge / cover is ridiculous. Rudy's is better and no service charge

Beautiful space. The pizza was good, but the pasta bolognese not quite. They also have a mandatory 2,5£ per person fee for some slices of bread and olive oil mixed with balsamic vinegar. It’s a sort of coperto…anyway. No draught beer, just bottled. I expected a little bit more to be honest.

Worst bolognese ever! No taste off the small portion i got and tge rocket salad was just a bag of salad topped into a bowl (very dry no dressing) very disappointing £52.60 for two bolognese and bowl of rocket leaves.

Very nice atmosphere, very nice food and Yolanda was super friendly and polite!

Staff very attentive and helpful.

Excellent, friendly customer service from the female waitress. We visited on a weekday, around 5pm and it was very empty but still had a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious! Complimentary bread, olive oil and fried bread given on arrival which was yummy. We ordered the pesto pasta, truffle ravioli, arrabbiata and fries! Fries were crispy, fresh and flavourful. All pastas were thoroughly enjoyed! Not bland and seasoned extremely well! Would definitely recommend and return when around Manchester City centre. Huge improvement in the quality of food from when I previously visited a few years ago.

GRAZIE!😍 Came to Manchester for renewal my Italian passport and thanks God L'Antica Pizzeria da Michela is only 2 minutes walking distance away. I enjoyed my early lunch. The restaurant is gorgeous, with a great atmosphere. I have been served by Yolanda the Manger. She has been incredible superb. Friendly, chattie. I sincerely enjoyed her company as I was alone. The pizza! OMG, thanks to Paolo,the pizza chef, the pizza, brought me back to my hometown Naples. Each bite I imagine myself in the heart of the home town. Strongly suggest you come and have da Michele experience.

Excellent restaurant Yolanda, magnificent and yanairy magnificent! Good cooking Magnificent restaurant.

Excellent food, big portions, recommended!

Luige and his staff have a really good nature and they’re all so sweet in their service. Loved the visit and the experience. And even the ambience is very beautiful. Would love to visit again <3

A beautiful building but that’s about it! The manager (Italian in his 50s) took food off customers’ plates and ate it whilst delivering the food to the table (witnessed this twice!) he also argued loudly with kitchen staff. The pizza chef was vaping in clear view of all customers - blowing vapour over food! Staff appeared totally miserable. Pizzas were giant, but cold, wet and thin in the centres. Overall an aesthetic restaurant without any substance. We raised our concerns with our waitress but she just apologised, didn’t raise it with the manager (probably quite awkward since he was part of the problem!) Female toilets again looked very Instagramable but were filthy. A disappointing family dinner!

We stumbled upon this gorgeous little sun trap at 5.30 on a Friday evening. The staff all Italian were so accommodating & attentive for a group of 5. We sat out front in the sun for 2 hours it was perfect! We decided to share a mix of the starters - brushetta, burrata, arranci, calamari, pizza and the fusilli pesto - honestly this was some of the tastiest italian food I've had in manchester ever. The pasta pesto - WOW!! Run don't walk for it! Everything was full of flavour, not greasy, super creamy & delicious but not too heavy. 10/10 experience - thank you! I can't wait to come back.

Real Neapolitan pizza in Manchester! The first evening after a long journey I recharged with a sensational pizza The owner, Nora and Federica were very kind, very quick and made me feel at home Fast food left someone else 🇮🇹💞

Awesome food and friendly staff

Yolanda is a very good waiters ! Nice pizza

Perfect.Quick service and very good food. Yolanda served us very well ty again it was a pleasure.

Great pizza, reminds me of the original one in Naples. Iolanda, our waitress, was simply the best! Grazie muchas gracias thank you :)

Everything was great, a special thanks to Yolanda for her amazing service ☺️

Great dinner experience on a weekday night, authentic Italian food and feel. Really decent service

Excellent service, delicious food, and I think it is very important to say that we arrived late and they welcomed us as the most important customer. Congratulations!

Service was awful and below average . Waited too long food The focaccia was not focaccia. It was just pizza . Overpriced food , not worth it at all I don’t recommend Ruined our bridal shower meal and cake AVOID AVOID AVOID

Thank you - Yolanda was lovely and really made our night!

service was amazing the waitress Yolanda was so lovely really made the experience!! xxx

Yolanda is great ! Excelente service More Yolanda’s please The best pizza ever

Best pizza I have had in the UK at cheap prices. An authentic 14" truffle pizza for 20 pounds is an absolute steal. The truffle flavor is definitely noticeable but not overpowering. Crust was exceptional and the bottom of the pizza remained dry up until even the last slice. Waiting time for food was not long either, with the starter coming out within minutes after ordering and the pizza soon after I finished the starter. Very attentive and professional service by Yolanda. I typically never write reviews but the service was so far beyond my expectations that I thought it was necessary to point out. Nicely decorated interior with a good amount of natural light. Good photo opportunities as well. I will definitely return for a visit when I come to the UK again.

The pizzas are very large and excellent. The staff are very friendly, we arrived very late and were very well received.

Amazing place I can't believe more people don't come

Best pizza in Manchester in my opinion. Also, I have always managed to get a table immediately even without booking. Would recommend to everyone.

Always delicious, beautiful environment, friendly staff. Love it.🥰

Very nice place, the food was great. Friendly service

Beautiful place, extra large pizza and amazing customer service

There is no comparison around, top restaurant in Manchester. Pasta with pesto and top wine. Highly recommended

Top restaurant, the service is excellent and the waitresses are very nice, we met Federica and Yolanda who made us feel at home, the pizza is delicious and the pasta as well, we have been here many times already and we will definitely come back

excellent experience very friendly waiter thank you yolanda and federica

A great authentic experience! We went to Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Manchester and we were thrilled! The place is elegant and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere. The pizza is truly authentic, with a light dough and high quality ingredients that recall the true Neapolitan tradition. A special thanks to the waitress Nora, who was extremely kind and professional, making our dinner even more enjoyable. Fast and impeccable service. Highly recommended for those who love real Neapolitan pizza! We will definitely be back.

Very good pizza, polite and friendly employees

Tried the historic restaurant in Naples some time ago, I wanted to see if I could also taste real pizza here in Manchester. Absolutely positive experience. Italian and top quality ingredients. Management recently changed from what I was told, Italian pizza chef, restaurant manager and waitress who welcome you with a smile and a "good evening". Fast service, in my opinion the price is normal for being in England.

Amazing for coeliac or gluten free diets! My pizza was GF and was huge and really tasty

Went for a meal for my son’s birthday. Amazing food and service. Jasmine our host was excellent. Had a really nice evening.

Best Gluten Free pizza I ever eat. The server Yolanda is amazing abd very friendly

Amazing authentic Italian pizza. Lovely atmosphere and great service.

Great pizza and Yolanda was a very attentive waitress!

I had a fantastic experience at L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Manchester. The restaurant is set in a former bank, which gives it a truly unique and special atmosphere. The decor is modern yet slightly kitschy, but it fits perfectly with the overall vibe. The food was absolutely outstanding. I started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and full of flavor, followed by the truffle mushroom pizza. The pizza was exceptional—no surprise, as it even won an award in 2022 for the best topping! I would order it again without hesitation. Service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. The prices are fair for the quality, making it a great value for money. Overall, I highly recommend L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele to anyone looking for top-quality pizza in a great setting. A must-visit!

Yolanda impeccable service we will return

Yolanda has been a great host of the experience of visiting this place with the best pizza and the best service

Incredible experience!! Yolanda took amazing care of us!! The food 10/10

A very good Italian restaurant, neat and tidy, with reasonable prices

for a wednesday night i can appreciate the atmosphere would be a little less than expected yet food came not as described on the menu and cold this was unexpected and the service was even worse with two servers just talking in italian the whole time and not tending to tables leaving one bar tender / server to do all the work disappointed.

Delicious pizza and tiramisu, impeccable service, served by the very nice Yolanda.

Frederica was an amazing host and the food was superb as always. A taste of Italy in Manchester

Is the best Italian food in Manchester. The waitress Yolanda is 5 stars.

Amazing food proper Italian food and great service We really had have good time ♥️

Popped in for a starter with my partner and ordered a marinara pizza to share. It was huge and so tasty! We had a lovely server, really friendly! The decor was gorgeous, as was the architecture. Overall we enjoyed our first visit and will be back ☺️

Lovely place! Excellent service, not crowded, great pizza and a complimentary bread basket

Excellent pizzeria, visually like the one in Naples, tasty ingredients, definitely better than the London location. Polite and friendly staff

Lovley large pizzas. The fresh orange is also fabulous.

Really nice place. Food is great, as good as Itried in Italy. Strongly recommend.

Yolanda was fabulous , so kind and the service was perfect ! Food was delicious , nothing to fault about this beautiful place

From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared with such care, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience even better was the outstanding service from Paris and Yolanda. They were both incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with fantastic food and exceptional service, I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I have had such a lovely time! Came here for a solo date and was served by Yolanda, she was amazing. I felt so welcome and not awkward at all. The food was lovely! Loved the tiramisu! And the service is top tier

Very pleasant experience, amazing quality food and nice service by Paris!

One of the worst pizza places I've been to. Food: The calzone was so light on fillings that it was as thin as a pizza Service: The staff asked us at least half a dozen times if we were finished despite there still being food on our plates and cutlery positions definitely not indicating it. Atmosphere: A beautifully decorated old bank but it was a cavern with no atmosphere or energy, even on a Saturday night. And on top of all this they have a cover charge of £2.50 per person for the privilege of all this. Nothing about this visit would make me recommend it to friends or family

Gluten free pizzas are huge and staff really attentive. Been here twice now and enjoyed both times

Jolanta was amazing! Thank you for the lovely service and delicious food. 😊

Quite a nice place, with very good quality food. Yolanda is wonderful, impeccable treatment and service. Advisable!

I went to dinner with my wife for Valentine's Day. Very nice and well-kept location in the center of Manchester. Tasty food and refined dishes. The staff very friendly and professional. I highly recommend it.

Amazing food, service by Yolanda. Been here quite a few times and she is always smiling, happy, making my guests and me feel super welcome!

One of the best pizzas I’ve had. Great choice of genuine Italian pizzas, truffle one was amazing. Yolanda who served us was an absolute pleasure. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

Great Italian food, Yolanda had great service, very attentive and informative. Allergy friendly too!

Great, authentic Carbonara & Arancino. Very attentive staff helping us deal with allergens (we had Yolanda, she was great). Lovely environment, will definitely become regulars

Crazy experience, exceptional staff, especially Yolanda! I will gladly return!

I've been having dinner with my friend María. We ordered a couple of pizzas that were delicious but the best of all, without a doubt, was meeting Yolanda, from Madrid like me, who provided us with spectacular service and was very attentive to the enjoyment of the dinner. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Yolanda was amazing!! We usually have calzone and pizza, but she recommended the we have the linguine seafood and pizza which were amazing!! Definitely recommend for food and excellent service!! Ohh and the bar is beautiful!!

Amazing pmace and food . Please back pastas with lobster

Than you very grazie for the evening! Sofia was a star the pizza Sicilian was really tasty! The Moretti Grand reserva was a touch 🙌

Pizza was terrible as was customer service!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID! Waiter didn’t even know what orange juice was! Pizza was burnt, swimming in oil and inedible. We were patronised, told it was our taste buds and the type of pizza !!

This place is a really, really good walk-in (no bookings) authentic Italian restaurant. We went for lunch and it was outstanding. For instance, the carbonara is made correctly with egg yoke as opposed to cream. The pizza selection is also tremendous and they are gigantic. I highly recommend the Napoletana which was absolutely delicious. It’s no wonder this place has awards for their food. The pizzas are easily large enough for two to share. The staff are friendly and attentive and the venue itself has a relaxed and accessible vibe. The prices are excellent making this place great value for money. I’d definitely eat here again

Great Valentines treat! Best pizza in town......great atmosphere. My wife favourite place, at least 5🌟 Great staff! Very friendly

Amazing looking place, great food and the host vas vary accommodating me and my partner had an awesome Valentine’s night there. Keep up the good work and thank you

I had and incredible experience at Pizzeria da Michele in Manchester.From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding.The General Manager Francesco went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making us truly valued as a customer.The food was absolutely delicious -fresh ingredients, perfect flavours. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming ,making it the perfect spot for a special dinner.I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.

What can I say, I celebrated a wonderful Valentine's Day with my boyfriend eating an excellent pizza! I thank the manager Francesco very much for his availability and competence

Fantastic Valentine dinner at Pizzeria da Michele! The pizza is probably the best in England. Wonderful and attentive service from the manager Francesco! We will go back soon.

Beautiful experience, great food and impeccable service!!

Superrrrrrrrr pizza...fantastic place and excellent service.

Eating out in Manchester is not just about the food but a combination of food and hosptality And the Italians know how to do this better than any one else Francescothe Manager was very hands on throughout our Meal with great attention to Detail The food was Great and the Wine we choose was very good and reasonably Priced The Atmosphäre was also good which made the mealsomehow tastier Yes we will definetly go back when next in Manchester Anwar Said

My girlfriend and I ate at this pizzeria on Valentine's Day. Excellent pizza and great welcome! Special thanks to Francesco who made us feel at home

The food was nice but the problem is me and my boyfriend got food 30 minutes after each other so by the time we could eat, his food was cold. The whole atmosphere was bad, clearly not enough staff in the restaurant. Many people got their food late and as a result were complaining and taking it out on the serversb. Our waitress was called paris and she was very nice and apologetic about the whole situation but the off putting. Please take this as constructive criticism!

I had an amazing time for valentine's day with my partner. Even if we arrived late, the service was still impressive and the food was great. The scenery is gorgeous. Would recommend for a romantic night. Perfect for a girl's night as well. Definitely coming back !

Great experience, great pizza, everyone very kind! I will definitely return

The room was cold and had an incessant Bruno Mars album on repeat. The service was attentive but uncoordinated and due to the absolute shockingly disgusting food, it felt like it was an attempt to disguise the experience. Be warned there is a £2.50 per person mandatory charge for a compulsory starter bread basket. This bread again tries to disguise itself as Italian style but is just old, stale, rubbery bread from heaven only knows how long ago. My partner is gluten free and it was only after having this bread for half an hour that she was warned, despite the bread coming out after she had disclosed her allergy when we ordered. The pizza and Calzone were drowning in oil. The cheese on the Calzone was midway between melted and curdled and the whole thing was so bland and tasteless. The sauce was tasteless. The dough was ok. But the real problem was the oil, it left a coating on our tongues for the rest of the afternoon. The cutlery was not sharp enough so it was a battle to cut a bite. Mistakes were made. Be warned this looks like a upscale dining experience but is anything but.

I went for Valentine's Day, excellent pizza, and the manager Francesco is truly a fantastic person

What can I say, I went for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend. We ate an excellent pizza and the service from the manager Francesco was impeccable

I celebrated Valentine's Day with my wife by eating an excellent pizza! The service thanks to the Manager Francesco was excellent

We went with my girlfriend for Valentine's Day to the antica pizzeria da Michele, an amazing location, truly beautiful, a very elegant contest, we ate an excellent pizza as well as fried foods and other delicacies, we had a great time, super courteous staff, the manager Franco welcomed us and pampered us for the whole evening... and very nice! High quality standard and to put it in the Neapolitan style we were able to create both our palate and our soul, thank you Franco and antica pizzeria da Michele !

Last night, for Valentine's Day, my wife invited me to eat a pizza at Michele's. Initially I was skeptical because, in my humble opinion, a good pizza outside Naples and especially outside Italy "in England" was a sacrilege, but in the end kei was right and I had to change my mind. Exceptional pizza like all the staff, I felt at home and would absolutely return. Louis

Last night for Valentine's Day I managed to convince my husband to take him to dinner at Michele's ancient pizzeria and I hit the mark. He changed his mind and thanked me for the wonderful evening. Thanks to all the staff, perfect in everything from the excellent pizza, to the professionalism, service, friendliness, etc. I recommend everyone to go there. I will definitely go back. Florence

We had dinner for Valentine's Day and I can say that it was an exceptional experience, spectacular location and delicious food, not to mention the welcome and service of the staff. Excellent...we will return

The service was terrible, staff was very rude. I had to wait 40 minutes for my food to arrive after my partners arrived, my partners pizza came stone cold, once my bolognese arrive it tasted like cat food. We asked the manager for discount on the food as we didn’t eat most of it and did not enjoy it at all, the manager argued over us and did not come across as a polite man. I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

Lovely ambience, great food and staff.
