Piccolino in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Amazing Food and Amazing service !!!! Great variety on the menu as well

I enjoyed a delightful 3-course lunch set here, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. A great dining experience overall! We will definitely be back again

We had a delightful experience at Piccolino this afternoon. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and our meals—steak, duck, and risotto alla caprese—were simply outstanding. The desserts, especially the tiramisu, were perfect, and the coffee was excellent. I've been a regular visitor for years, and while our last visit wasn't as memorable due to some minor issues with staff stress and request to move my electric wheelchair away from our table, today was truly wonderful. Thank you for a lovely meal!

We had a lovely evening at piccolino tonight. Our waiter Stefan was friendly and welcoming and was always on hand to ensure that we were happy with our food and drink 🍷.

Great lunch time meal. Everything was great from the service, the drinks plus the food was good portion sizes and great value for money. Well worth a visit

Friendly large restaurant with optional tables in heated veranda. Great food, nice decor, very attentive service but overpriced winelist. We had dinner on a Monday before son’s graduation. Our shared sea food platter starter was very generous and filling, but a few too many pieces cooked in batter. Main courses of pasta and insalata were delicious and filling. Our only criticism was the wine lost which is very overpriced. We chose what looked like the lowest priced wine a Pinto Grigio which was £32.

Good food and great service, thanks especially to Stefan for helping to make it a great meal.

Extremely busy, went here for Father’s Day ! I had the vegetarian pizza , was ok but nothing special and way over priced ! I doubt I would go again !

I would just like to say how amazing our experience has been multiple times at Piccolino Didsbury. The staff are so attentive and welcoming, we get the full Italian experience every single time. We enjoy nothing more than coming into the restaurant to enjoy food or a cocktail rain or shine with such amazing staff. I would particularly like to say how fabulous Walter the manager is. I have never met a restaurant manager who is more amazing!! There is nothing better than walking into a restaurant and being welcomed by such professionalism and kindness. 𝙈𝙞𝙆ele who works behind the bar is also the best bartender ever! The service here is unbelievable!! We would highly recommend! Thank you Piccolino and the fabulous team for the best experience… always. See you soon x

Great service and good choice of food, however I did feel it was slightly overpriced for the amount you get I.e the fries as a side order. This wouldn't bother people with disposable income but for those on more of a budget this place would only be for a treat.

We had a lovely family meal here on a quiet Monday, the staff were very friendly and made it a good experience for us, the food was delicious and fresh tasting, would recommend.

Had a good experience here last Monday evening with my family, the staff were really friendly and efficient and the food was delicious, we all had different dishes, would definitely recommend.

Great menu,helpful pleasant staff,relaxed atmosphere, a pleasure to dine there.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food and drinks were superb, and the ambiance was inviting. Michele stood out with his exceptional customer service, seamlessly multitasking by making drinks and serving food with remarkable efficiency and a friendly demeanor. His dedication and skill greatly enhanced our dining experience, making it memorable. Highly recommend!

Lovely outdoor seating area with heaters and covers which can be used if the weather is less favourable.

Dined for lunch. Great food and service from Giorgia and Elisa. Would definitely recommend

Good food and by far the best service I've experienced. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel at home.

Food to love is to eat, however spectacular, food made with passion and love is not found in all restaurants, there are very few who cook like this, spectacular service, I recommend 5 stars

The carbonara was very salty but the rest of the food was delicious

Food was lovely!! Had the best services from Tony and Giorgia

Lovely food and impeccable service as always, special mention to Tony and Giorgia who were amazing!

I brought my family here and had a wonderful meal. Our waitress Frankie was lovely, attentive but not pushy. The food was top quality, in particular the chicken liver starter and D’avola pizza.The drinks came quick and were delicious - overall a great experience.

Food was lovely. Incredibly friendly service from Giorgia. Would come again!

Amazing experience. We came for a date night, we've been to Piccolino before but this Piccolino is really lovely. The team is amazing, very friendly, and welcoming. The general manager Giorgia and Astrida are excellent. They take care of everything and every customer making sure guests have great time. It was really special. We will be back. Thank you. 😊

My first time in Piccolino Didsbury. We were welcomed at the reception by Giorgia and Astrida. Both of them were amazing. They gave us amazing food recommendations and paired nice vines. I definitely recommend this place. It is like a little Italy 🇮🇹 and hidden gem of Manchester.

Great family meal out , only negative is the table wasn't fully prepared even though booked in advance and toilets were out of service (mens) - but the food was amazing

no complaints! great food & great service🫶🏼

We had a cosy birthday lunch at Piccolino, the service from Walter, Giorgia and the team was exceptional. I really enjoyed the carbonara and they went above and beyond to make sure my sister had an amazing birthday. The vibes were impeccable, great music and they even took note that we wanted to go half and half in certain dishes and made sure we had side plates and extra cutlery - 100% would recommend.

Wonderful experience. Food was delicious. Service was outstanding. Went there to celebrate a birthday meal - absolutely delivered! Special thanks to our waiter Walter, you star! Grazie mille!

Incredible experience! Booked this for a birthday celebration with friends and it was absolutely wonderful. A warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in! Walter and Giorgia were absolutely fantastic and made our meal extremely special. The attention to detail from Walter was simply exceptional! To top it all off, they sang the most wonderful happy birthday song cheering and clapping and made me feel incredible. Huge thanks to them both!

Alessia was very friendly and attentive, giving us recommendations while also being good fun. She is an asset to the restaurant. The food was lovely as always. Quickly becoming one of my favourite places to eat.

Attended a friend's birthday lunch party. I cannot rate or recommend this restaurant highly enough, from greeting to service to food, everything was simply exceptional. If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Manchester, book here. You will not be disappointed 👌

Piccolino's in Didsbury has become one of my favourite restaurants. We always have a wonderful time there and Michele always takes very good care of us. Very highly recommended!

Went for a family meal and it was a brilliant experience! The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. Definitely will be returning thank you for a lovely evening. Alessia was our waitress and she was fab !!! Great staff member

The food was absolutely divine, each dish bursting with authentic Italian flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. Cheers to our waitress who was very polite.

We love coming here. Such attentive staff, fantastic food and a lovely atmosphere. We definitely use the restaurant as our go to Italian.

Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff. Food was beautiful. First time visit and would go again.

The best experience, food great, staff amazing and the atmosphere is one of the best. I ordered the lasagna and it was the best lasagna i’ve ever had in england, it didn’t take long to come. I recommend this place for everyone.

Fantastic food and fantastic atmosphere. Would highly recommend. This Italian is so good it makes you forget about Italy beating England in the euros final, Saka may not be forgiven but pasta certainly is.

We came here for new year, we arrived at 9:40 our table was booked for 10:00 we didn’t mind waiting past our reservation time as we understood that they were busy however the host was so inhospitable made us feel so uncomfortable, and shouted to us and said we was in the way of another table and told us to move out of her way and I asked there’s no other place to stand and said move over to the bar area in a very rude way. She was arguing and shouting so loud that everyone around us was staring most uncomfortable experience ever ! Would never ever go here again !!!! We waited over 1.5 hours for the food only to be told the gas has stopped working for the food ! They then brought our semi cooked food which was so bad it had to be spat out ! We then had to leave the restaurants that’s how awful it was ! Our New Year’s Eve was ruined !!

We are coming here very often, and the food and service is always top! My favourite place!

Giorgia and her team delivered an outstanding experience. The service was impeccabile, and the food exceeded expectations. A perfect blend of professionalism and culinary excellence. Higly recimmended!

Staffs are friendly and outstanding service. Food was amazing.

We had a lovely evening at piccolino, staff great food was lovely and the atmosphere was amazing 👏

Food is basic. Pizza is very thin then soggy in the middle. Calzone has a 10cm empty dough on both ends. Literally without any filling. Just bread. Service: the server(s) helping us were very nice and friendly. The manager was giving frustrated answers as if he is doing us a charity. He was acting with a negative attitude. Atmosphere: very noisy even when 50% full. This is the second time in this place and the last.

Frankie and Georgia were absolute dolls, and looked after us so well. Thank you!

Absolutely favourite. Tiramisu just fantastic 👏

I went for a meal with my mother last night and everything was exceptional. From the moment we entered the restaurant all of the staff greeted us and were very friendly. This service upheld all evening I have no faults. In addition to this, the food was delicious as always and arrived promptly. I could not recommend this restaurant more.

Amazing food and service. Giorgia and Elisa made our experience superb.

Brilliant food and good service too.

Good service, great food (the t-bone was lovely)

Lively atmosphere, we were celebrating a family birthday.

The staff were very attentive and friendly. It was very busy when we went with 3 large parties going on so we thought we'd have to wait for our food but we didn't. The food was delicious even my son had 3 courses and he is usually a picky eater. Was a bit more expensive than we would normally pay but didn't mind at all as the food and service were that good. Would definitely eat there again.

Amazing dinner It was extremely Bush buy the food and service were spot on! We will come back soon !

We had One of the best dinner so far in Manchester. The restaurant was very busy but the staff managed to deliver the best food and service Thank you!

It was quiet at lunchtime but pasta dish was gorgeous

Giorgia and her team hosted my 70th birthday lunch with 8 friends.They went out of their way to ensure that the meal was a leisurely affair,every course prepared and presented to a high standard.I was flattered to receive a beautiful bouquet in addition to the more traditional desert with a candle and rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ All in all,I was made to feel very special and the experience exceeded all my expectations I would have no hesitation in recommending Piccolinos for that special occasion

Excellent venue for dinner. Staff are friendly and attentive and the food was excellent, in particular the starter scallops I ordered were probably the best I have ever eaten. Well done guys!

Calzone was more creamy cheese than anything else, lasagne was good apart from the top was burnt, burnt cheese is not nice. The garlic bread with cheese tasted of pine disinfectant. Staff was pleasant, service was good.

Great food, I had the calamari and the crap ravioli, it was very nice. Thank you to all staff and all others involved.

Great service - would recommend a visit Crab ravioli is the best No booking required so we just walked in

We were made to feel very welcome by Michele who was very engaging and hospitable! The food was beautifully prepared and sizeably portioned. Would highly recommend!

Great service, no book in required so we just walked in. Lovely food and drinks at a great price! Fully recommend.

I went there for a business meal few days ago. Service was faultless, perfect timing on everything. Best restaurant in the area. Thanks Giorgia!

“I dined at this restaurant a few nights ago, the place is classy, beautiful, and welcoming, and the food is really good. I’d like to point out Giorgia’s friendliness, truly helpful.”

The steak was incredible and the service by walter was exceptional! Great night all round! Even our dog had a great time

Eating out is a treat, simple. Here, you are treated to warm, friendly service and beautiful, delicious food, all of which are authentic and make a dining experience which makes you feel special and very full! You are fed with the warmth and attention of a loving, Italian grandmother whose desserts are difficult to say no to! We came here as a couple on a child-free occasion today but we usually eat here as a family and the service, care and attention extended to our girls is always so lovely.

Best restaurant in Didsbury!!!! Not just for the food and the service, which was spotless, but Giorgia made our evening one to remember. With recommendations from the beginning, attention through the meal and amazing smile at the end…. She is the reason we will be back!!

Absolutely lovely x The staff is very warming upon arrival and the atmosphere is exquisite! The food is cooked to perfection xxx

Ho cenato in questo delizioso ristorante italiano e ne sono stata particolarmente soddisfatta! Cibo delizioso, ambiente fantastico, tranquillo e accogliente. Quello che però ha fatto la differenza è il team fantastico, con un'accoglienza più che gentile. Un grazie in particolare al GM Giorgia che ha fatto la differenza. Professionalità ed eccellenza la contraddistinguono. Se dovessi tornare a Didsbury, il Piccolino sarà decisamente la mia prima tappa!

This restaurant is one of the most lovely places in Didsbury. Piccolino isn’t good only to taste new things. it’s also a comfortable place where you can hang out quietly with your friends. The staff is really kind with customers: in particular Giorgia, their General Manager, does her best for you to have a great experience. Super recommended!

I went to the restaurant to have lunch to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday today 29th Oct, the atmosphere was lovely, the food was great and the music was perfect Michele really made us feel really welcome and paid a lot of attention to details. We will be coming back again definitely. Will certainly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Lovely food and wine. Very positive staff, made a lovely evening

Fabulous service from Giorgia & Elisa, food was amazing! Really looked after our large group, will be back!

Absolutely amazing place! Fabulous staff, food and atmosphere 💗 they also gave us table chips 🍟 10/10

Lovely meal for a friend’s baby shower lunch. Giorgia and Elisa were brilliant. I would really recommend the ravioli melanzane! And we all got free chips - what more could you want!

We came as a group of 20 for a baby shower, food and service from Giorgia & Elisa was fantastic. Thank you so much.

San carlo price, Zizzi quality food

Incredible service and friendly staff. The food was so fresh and we had a lovely champagne with our meal.

Lovely food and staff. Miehele was great. Best tiramisu ever!

Amazing food and lovely staff. They make you feel very welcome and couldn’t do more for you. We come back time and time again.

My favourite resturant in manchester!! Love the food, I’ve never been disappointed. also the staff are so friendly & Wine Wednesdays is a great deal too!!

Fabulous food and atmosphere, Giorella Michele looked after us really well. Great seafood and pasta

popped in for a quick dinner, the food and service were amazing and I will definitely be returning. My partner popped in while visiting friends and were really well taken care of by the team

Had a take out pizza and unfortunately it was tasteless, cold and dry, no flavour. Very disappointed and at a cost of £15.80 expected more.

It's a fantastic restaurant and anytime I'm in Manchester I'll always try and book in

Great evening thanks Giorgia for great hosting!!!!

Lasagna - unbelievable! Georgia - excellent professional and friendly service! Nice atmosphere. Thank you.

Unbelievable food, really nice atmosphere and Michele provides service that is on another level with excellent knowledge of the wine list also.

Reasonable price and you can have food in good environment. Staff is polite and always take care customer. It is locate at xenter of didsbury. Easy to book a table at open table app in same day Will come back again

Above and beyond service. Super attentive and helpful. Amazing with allergies!

Wonderful food and service. Will definitely return. Staff couldn’t do enough for us. Great atmosphere. Overall great experience.

This place will never get my custom ever again, first of all the restaurant was very quiet but it still took 30 mins to receive food. The food was very bland lacking any flavour, paid a fortune for this as well its definitely overpriced. I will never step foot back in this restaurant and will warn others to stay away too.

Lovely staff and great food, highly recommend! Really thoughtful and doggy friendly in the terrace.

Delicious pasta!! Excellent service from Giorgio and Davide - so friendly with rapido service. Honeycomb ice cream was also unreal. Quite good vibes for a Monday too!

The service was excellent, really friendly. Also had delicious food and wine. I'd definitely come again and recommend.

Great food and and atmosphere. Very accomodating staff. Our friend received a birthday tiramisu which was delicious

Such a wonderful afternoon with amazing company! Food was stunning, best pasta I’ve had outside of Italy. Service was 11/10, even a free birthday tiramisu. Would come back and recommend for sure! Thanks Giorgia ❤️
