Porada Restaurant in Bury

Lovely staff. Lovely service. Lovely food. 10/10 🌟

Absolutely fantastic. Staff are so good at convo. The environment is brilliant. Andrei the waiter is an absolute legend. A fantastic worker. And the food was soooo good.

Worst restaurant in Manchester absolutely shocking.

Hello Everyone! Just had the amazing night at Porada, food and service where 5 🌟 . I really need to mention the most tasty Cheesecake made by Boyana, it’s a Must to try!!!!! Aside Latife been a true Italian waiter!❤️ made my night! Kisse and hugs and defo we will be back!

Never fails to satisfy, food excellent, however our visit on Saturday 19 October was most disappointing, table for 4, booked for 8pm, seated just after 8:30, clearly overbooked with a birthday party which were far too raucous....our waiter Andre was outstanding and made up for the poor time keeping, ALSO, our party visited both the men's and ladies restrooms, both in a shocking neglected state, this needs addressing immediately......

We booked a table for seven. Four of us arrived at 6pm and asked if we could wait for our guests in the bar. We gave our drinks order to the waiter upon which a waitress arrived and told us that we were late for our 6pm table. It was in fact booked for 6.30. From then on the waitress scowled at us continuously, stomping around us, and asking us to go to our table. Our drinks remained on the bar. The food was terrible, service worse and the atmosphere dire. We used to go here regularly and always had a great experience but we will not be returning.

We’ve been Porada quite a few times and always have a lovely time - easily the best Italian restaurant near Bury. The food is very reasonably priced - the calzone we got was gigantic for the price - and always delicious. The ambiance is sophisticated, quite classy decor inside and live singing on a Friday night which was a highlight.

Such a lovely place to enjoy your meal and time with yourself or your loved ones, highly recommend

Would definitely recommend for a date night !!!

Outstanding food, Italian cuisine with impeccable service—truly a delightful dining experience! Highly recommended.

All good and space in the car park for my overnight campervan stay.

Last weekend we invited 19 friends and family to celebrate 4 birthdays and an upcoming family wedding, Porada didn't disappoint. Everyone had a fantastic evening. The team at Porada are fantastic and catered to everyone's requirements including gluten free and a specific cocktail my brother wanted on his birthday. Thank you for helping to make family memories x

Great food at a very reasonable price, service was great. Only slight comment, plonker waiter wants to faff about putting cheese on your meal, it's not funny to give little and then 3 spoons of it, be normal.

Food was amazing and staff so attentive recommend it to anyone 😋 👌

Great food, good no very good service, they had a singer on which is OK if you don't want to talk ha

Fantastic food and fantastic service.

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience, after waiting for two hours the chicken wasn't cooked, the waiter said they were very busy and couldn't do better.

Thank you all at Porada for such a wonderful lunch ... We took our family ( first time for us all ) .. and .. WOW! .. the atmosphere was wonderful with such attentive and friendly staff .. the food was so yummy 😋 ( we had to take a doggy bag home ) .. beautiful setting .. would definitely recommend a visit ; as you will be pleasantly surprised

Porada is a true haven for Italian food lovers! The restaurant is decorated beautifully, with an elegant and modern ambiance that sets the perfect tone for an exquisite dining experience. The Italian food here is nothing short of amazing. The menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring there's something to satisfy every palate. The staff are lovely and provide exceptional service. They are attentive, friendly, and always ready to make your visit special. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking top-notch Italian cuisine, outstanding service, and a beautifully decorated setting. Highly recommended!

Great service from walking through the door to leaving and the food was delicious 😋

First time visit for me. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. Staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Food was absolutely lovely! A very pleasant experience and will definitely be going back!

The food is excellent and good value. The staff are friendly and really look after you. I recently took a family member for lunch who has a disability. The staff were lovely with her and treated her very well.

We visited on a Friday night. It was a meal where you thought afterwards that it was really worth it. The best lasagne ever and the highest quality king prawns and beef stroganoff - you just can’t buy or make Italian food like that. Excellent service from a team that really cares that you enjoy your evening.

It can't be easy dealing with a group of 21 guests but that's what Porada had on their hands tonight, and they did a very good job of it. The food was tasty and the waiters handled the large mix of orders well. All in all everyone had a good time and would come again.

Seafood risotto was lacking in seafood. It was £18 and I would have expected more for my money! Waiter was rude and asked for the order to be shouted across the table. Wine was £10 a glass 😳

Very good food, friendly service, authentic Italian music most enjoyable lunch reasonably priced.

Went for my grandsons 21st. Top class food. And the staff were amazing. Beautiful place.

Been a few times and always enjoy it, good quality, good setting and reasonable prices.

Delicious meal, great service, will be back :)

We've not eaten at Porada since before covid and I can say we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service from entering the restaurant straight away was very friendly by the gentleman who opened the door for us, the waiter who took our order was really informative and friendly and so was everyone else we spoke to including the Manager's. The atmosphere was lovely, really nice Italian background music which along with the delicious food made our experience a really enjoyable one. We ate from the Sunday 3 course set menu which was such a bargain. Loved it so much we have booked to return. Thank you team Porada!

A very lovely restaurant with an upmarket feel. From the decor to the menus - all very stylish. Food also delish!

Booked a table for 2 on a Saturday night for a birthday meal. We arrived to chaos ( and much shouting) as we were told to wait 'at the side' for our table and then it appeared that 2 servers thought we were in fact to eat our meal 'at the side' , in a very busy corridor. All was finally resolved by about 830, whereupon the evening picked up with terrific food and a great waiter. So in summary I'd just advise to get the basics of booking and communication right, as the poor start nearly ruined the evening.

Fabulous food and great service. The garlic bread is superb and can’t find better. The salmon was beautiful and the cannelloni was the best I’ve had in years. Delicious and so tasty. The best coffee. Can’t wait to return.

I would like to say a big thank you to Ricardo the manager and all the staff for making my sisters birthday meal so special. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was great. They even put the decorations up for me which looked great. Looking forward to visiting again very soon xx

Had a family birthday at Porada in Whitefield. Absolutely superb. The food was excellent, service great and all the staff were just so friendly and welcoming.

We all had a FAB time this afternoon at Parada's. Thank you for the excellant service provided.

Sorry for the late review, I booked a table for 11 of us for my birthday on Saturday 16th December at 4pm for my birthday. We were given menus and asked for our drinks order, we ordered various garlic breads for starters, they were lovely, then we all ordered pasta/risottos, they came piping hot, we then had a little rest and ordered liqueur coffees, the food was beautiful and the waiters were excellent, oh and thank you for my tirramasu you gave me for my birthday. All in all a fabulous afternoon, thank you xx

We decided last minute to book for early evening meal on NYE. Staff were very accommodating and managed to get a nice table. Waiters were so professional and courteous. All food, drinks and service was great. The ribs were gorgeous. Be back again soon thank you

Very over priced for very poor food

Food was all warmed up not cooked fresh pizza was vile my daughter was so up set it was like paper with to much tomato on it lamb shank was hard meat was rubbery and just warmed up wasn’t fresh everything was disaster because due to work outside they don’t cook fresh

A fantastic night for my big son's birthday. The service is second to none - the friendliest waiters I've ever known. Fantastic food and lots of choice for coeliac, lactose intolerant me. Highly recommended!

Food excellent, staff friendly, nice atmosphere

We visited Porada on a Saturday night and arrived a little early but out table was ready and the staff greeted us straight away. The whole evening was excellent great service we ordered drinks straight away and no delays with food or service . Garlic bread to share and ribs to start both excellent everyone enjoyed the starters especially the mussels. We had a range of mains steak, chicken, sea bass and a pizza all very nice alas we didn’t have a sweet as we were too full but a cocktail and a gin both very nice it was our first visit but it won’t be our last.

Top notch service and exceptional value for money(set 3 course meal) We will return

Loved the food drinks service and atmosphere

Muy buena comida y estupendo menú de domingo a buen precio.

Sunday afternoon. Family occasion. The food was very good. The atmosphere, the venue itself is clean, roomy and light. Well appointed. Unfortunately the service, being kind, was poor. There seemed to be an off-hand feeling about the staff, and the one lady was obviously upset about something. Which tended to lower the atmosphere. There is a car park at the rear, but there are rrd works next to the restaurant and we parked elsewhere. A pity, because the food is worth a visit. We must have picked a bad day.

First time here and must say truly enjoyed myself, staff service and good was great will definitely be making regular visits

Absolutely delicious food and great service. I'm sure if we'd gone in the evening it would be 5 stars for atmosphere, but lunchtime was relatively quiet.

The last time I ate at this restaurant before tonight was nearly 8 years ago and I vowed I would never return because of how poor the service was and how tasteless the food was too. Fast forward 8 years, I thought, let's give them a second chance, if this restaurant has been open for that long they must be doing something right? After tonight, I admit that it must be a complete and utter mystery. We were a large group and had to wait 25 mins for our booked table. Then it took another 20 mins for the menus to come and when the waiter was called over, he rolled his eyes at us. The food was very poor, tasteless in fact and all of us thought that. The only thing that went quickly were the chocolates they brought at the end with the bill. It then took another 15 mins for one of the 4 staff to arrive with a card machine. We paid and left quickly. For the second time in my life, I vow to never return. Let's hope I can keep that vow this time.

We came as a party of 7 for a special birthday. Cocktails were lovely and great value for money. Food was amazing from garlic bread, chicken in mushroom sauce, spaghetti bolognese, mussels & prawns, all 7 of us were very pleased with our meals! Service was great, waiters interacted & had a laugh! They sang to the birthday girl and the atmosphere was spot on. We were in a booth area on a large round table and it was like perfect seating for us. We can’t wait to come back and bring our partners so they can try the food here too. Would definitely recommend coming here. Great for friends/family/date nights.

Our second visit (sorry I don’t do photographs) I cannot fault this restaurant and it looks like it’s going to be our favourite ❤️ The food, service, atmosphere are all fantastic, I cannot praise them highly enough - it is also, very surprisingly, very good value for money. We were made very welcome, as though we were old friends but they did the same with everyone. You go out to enjoy yourself and what a very pleasurable experience this restaurant is. Many thanks, John & Sue

Great food great staff great prices defo recommend for Italian lovers

The food we had was fabulous, great wine selection also. Roadworks outside a complete pain...

My daughter booked for 4 of us to dine for my birthday. It was 4 pm and no other diners here. However, the whole restaurant was fully booked for an evening party, and this was probably why late afternoon dining was restricted as they were preparing the dining area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was well presented, very hot and tasty. The service was excellent. At the end of our meal, the staff brought out a large profiterole with a candle and all sang happy birthday, a funny and thoughtful gesture. Will definitely dine here again.

Worst restaurant we’ve ever been to. Not only was the food bland, there was a HUGE hair in the food. When speaking to the waiter he told us the chefs were all bald however we could clearly see a girl in there/ wasn’t making it up? The staff were very rude the whole night - that is what little staff there were; there was about 2 members of staff all night. It does look nice as a restaurant but would never return or recommend!

Brilliant evening from start to finish and Sergio was 1st Class

Very disappointing. Food took forever to arrive even though the restaurant only had two tables to deal with. No fish available and food is not as good as it used to be. Very expensive and very disappointing.

Lovely place, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

The meal was very good and the staff worked wonders considering some had phoned in sick.

Nice Italian and had a lovely singer on when we visited on Saturday evening. Not too loud, just background singing, which was good.

Ok shame very quiet food midi oker and a bit in the.exoensive side, staff nice thougjb

Our daughter booked this restaurant for my wife’s birthday we have eaten there before and it was good but not this time. We arrived on time for our 830pm table but after 30 minutes we were still all stood at the bar no seating was available when our daughter politely enquired how long the table was going be she was met by a very rude response from the member of staff who said he had no idea ask the manager we did and were told they we’re waiting for a group to vacate the table and could not give us a time then the other member of staff came back and said told you I didn’t know the restaurant looked chaotic and poorly run after 40 minutes we just left thank you porada for ruining my wife’s birthday we will never again return

Went here for a family meal, have been once before and was not overly impressed that time either. The food is on par with most Italians as it is what it is… that’s why I gave it an average score. The worst thing was the service.. from being seated was about 15 minutes before someone arrived to take a drinks order then another 10 minutes as there was only one person behind the bar… Saw 3 men working there and a young girl servicing both upstairs and downstairs and one of them spent most of the evening near the front door… There was a good 5 -10 minute delay on both starters and main courses to be delivered to us all resulting in either waiting to be polite or finishing at different times. Would not return

Staff were very friendly and professional. The food and drink was just beautiful.

Went tonight. Staff could not be nicer. Food was as ever amazing. The road works that they are coping with outside have not put me off and I hope it doesn't effect the business too much. One of the best places to eat in the area . The king prawn aoli is awesome !!

Had an excellent meal at weekend with a party of 14, food arrived all together. Great choice from the menu and staff were great

Love this place the food is always top notch and the staff are really friendly

Last night my husband and I had the most delicious meal at Porada.The service was excellent and so too was the atmosphere!There was live music provided be an excellent singer and guitarist!

Second vist.Wasn't disappointed disappointed.

Great food and good quality. Service excellent staff only to happy to help. There to celebrate granddaughters pregnancy

Fantastic food, welcoming waiters (especially Sergio!) who are great with children and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Nice place,good food.Prices for everyone 👍

Always a delicious meal Delightfully served In stylish surroundings!

Had an absolutely fantastic night celebrating my son 21st birthday. The food was fabulous and the Porada team couldn’t do enough for us, we were truly spoilt 😊 nothing was too much trouble and they made it such a memorable 21st birthday for us all. Big thank you to team Porada 👍🏼

Class service, class food. Can’t ask for much more.

Stunning venue, service fantastic, food was beautiful. See you again soon!! Matthew & Annie 🤍

It’s been a few years since I was last here and I had forgotten how delicious the food was and excellent value for money. Staff and atmosphere, excellent and were really looked after when celebrating a special birthday 🎂 I will be back and won’t leave it so long next time 🥰

Enjoyed a lovely meal. I had the Penne Rustica for mains, bruschetta trio for starters & chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Friendly & efficient staff - the waitresses were really lovely. Will definitely revisit soon

If you want good service quality Italian Food and value for money this is the place I had the veal with spaghetti great customer service give it a try

Food was OK. My ravioli was lukewarm. I asked for tapwater with a slice of lemon, but didn't get any lemon. One of the two waiters that served us was very polite and friendly. The other one (had a very strong Italian accent) was a bit brusk. We have been a few times and will go back again.

Lovely place, food was delicious and the service was exceptional

Incredible food, especially the home made tiramisu. The staff were very friendly and considerate and made us feel welcome.

Appalling service. We booked a table for 8pm and didn’t receive our food until 10.15pm. The waiter was extremely rude and didn’t apologise for the delay. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the evening was ruined. The waiter had previously been rude to one guest but we initially dismissed this but he was then arrogant and sarcastic. When the food eventually arrived it was wrong and again no apology. The food was dry and flavourless. When we received the bill they had then over charged us for drinks and added a service charge.

We want to thank Sergio for the great service and making our evening an amazing experience, food is also great, we are definitely coming back!

Wonderful restaurant, great service by Sergio. Highly recommend, all the waiters/ waitresses are very friendly. Will return.

Very nice place for lunch Very good Italian cuisine

Love it outstanding service & stunning food.

I have just visited this beautiful restaurant. Met up with a friend who lives in Whitefield and suggested it. I have driven past it many times but never been in. Wow factor when I walked in the front door. What a stunning place. The food and the service was equally as stunning. Had such a lovely evening catching up with with my friend and the waiter was so funny. Will be back again soon. Thank you all ❤️

The welcome was poor and we had to wait for our table though it was booked . They were very busy and the service was haphazard and slow. We were basically ignored most of the evening by the staff and had to wait over an hour for the mains . One of the waiters was particularly rude and shoved my plate at me from the opposite side of the table. Busyness can be excused but not rudeness or poor service . Food was ok nothing special - they then overcharged us and added drinks that were not ours - would not return

Wow- what an absolutely incredible restaurant! Service was absolutely impeccable - we felt wholly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Pricing is absolutely amazing on both food & drinks. The food itself was up there with the best Italian food I've ever eaten. Aesthetically the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous also. My first visit but it will definitely not be my last! Keep up the amazing work!

Love this restaurant, food, service and staff are Fantadtic. Ill be back

Fantastic meal in a fabulous restaurant great service and atmosphere

As a regular customer, really disappointed the tempura king prawns have shrunk in size to what they once were, we both had a pasta dish my wife had chicken risotto and I had the cannelloni as soon as the parmesan cheese was sprinkled on top the dishes became very thick and stodgy! The garlic bread was way to thick and not cooked properly, it wasn't as though they were rushed off their feet in the open kitchen, here again why are the chefs not wearing a head covering? At the table of 8 next to us 4 people had fillet steak which was left / sent back as either being not cooked as ordered or being not of good quality. We told the waiter of our dissatisfaction but no one from the management team came over to discuss the issues we had with the food or even offer an apology. We used to love it here but won't be returning again which is a shame.

Arrived a bit early before opening but the friendly staff asked us to take a seat and have a drink. Family arrived and we enjoyed a lovely meal, well priced and in a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Lovely restaurant. 5 stars all round!

Fantastic place front of house manager great

Food was nice portion sizes a bit small. Service was great. Very friendly. Tiramisu was very good. I'd go again Fair prices

Just spent the most amazing day. The food, staff and surroundings were all first class. They went out of their way to accommodate my wheelchair bound brother and couldn’t do enough for him. Thank you! We will definitely see you again soon!

Great food good atmosphere too, would definitely go again.

Looked on Porada website and we were between two menus. Sunday lunch 3 course or Lunch 12pm to 3pm again 3 course. We made a phone booking for ten persons and we were assured the online menus were available . On arrival we were presented with a 2 course menu starter and main at the online 3 course price. price. It was disappointing to have to pay extra for the dessert. We were let down by Porada and the website still has not been amended showing menus they will not honour. Will pick a new venue for Easter where we can have what the menus advertised.
