Stocco Oldham - Authentic Italian Restaurant in Oldham

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

I had a very pleasant experience at Stocco Oldham. The staff were friendly and courteous, truly gentlemen. They kindly took my coat upon arrival and seated my family promptly and politely. Throughout our visit, they were attentive to our drinks and needs, providing excellent service. The food was of a very high standard and delicious. The Sauvignon Bianco white wine was excellent—I would definitely recommend trying it. Overall, a great restaurant with attentive staff and quality food.

Absolutely delicious food, great stuff and lovely place. Will definitely come back

I don’t know who’s going to read this but there is a waitress at the restaurant with ginger hair and she was beautiful. she also had braces lowkey need her instagram

Unfortunately, really disappointing. I have been here before and had a enjoyable meal. However, today was so poor I felt compelled to leave a review. The service was slow, we waited a really long time to order and also to finally get the bill. We also struggled to order more drinks. Lots of items on the menu were unavailable, I ended up with my 3rd choice. My starter was arincini, which although looked good- they were cold inside. For my main I ordered the lamb which was overcooked. Nobody checked if we had enjoyed our food (even when a proportion of my plate remained uneaten). When we let our waiter know we had not enjoyed the meal he was dismissive as "they had been very busy". We were offered a complimentary drink. I certainly wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

A great Italian and the best restaurant the area. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Amazing restaurant with outstanding food and staff! Highly recommended 👌

What a delightful experience! Our visit to Stocco was booked in the evening after a long day of exploring Manchester. And this venue gave us a perfect finish for the great day we had. The meal was absolutely exquisite. Spaghetti Gamberoni was perfectly cooked with gentle prawn and complimenting sauce. The Piccante pizza was saturated with flavours that worked together perfectly. Even a person with sensory issues in our group admitted that this was the most delicious bolognese they have ever had. The drinks were refreshing and not too sweet. Tiramisu was glorious and rocks top of the list in our favourites. The service was very welcoming, from entering the building and up until we stepped back out, we felt well taken care of. Honestly, the overall atmosphere was perfect — gentle music, soft lights, high comfort chairs. You don't feel like the owners are playing it cheap. Very pleasant experience, will 100% visit again if around.

Perfect family atmosphere outstanding 5***** staff amazing.. was served by mature staff that had are table severed with perfect Italian etiquette.. my son don't go to restaurants. So this was special.. he had eight family members with us on a bank holiday Monday and everyone had the most perfect experience.. thank you again.. (bob Marley) roddaz..

Brilliant food ,great friendly service, very helpful, would highly recommend 👌

Well worth a visit loved it

Everything was lovely cant wait to celebrate our 25th anniversary in April next year.

Amazing food! Great atmosphere, staff brilliant

Amazing. Great service fantastic food

This was my first time at Stocco but I will definitely be returning. Great value for money, you will not go home hungry, portions are very good. Great customer service. The only thing to critisise is the welcoming process into the building. We were in a queue for some time before someone came to us. Would be good to have an acknowledgment and greeting next time. But overall a great experience.

Great experience, excellent service, superb service. Literally love this restaurant

The veal chop is the one to go for. Wine fantastic Service prompt, efficient and friendly

Service was great, food excellent....very recommended.

Had a great night with friends the restaurant was busy, but didn't have to wait long for food which were all good.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. Authentic Italian cuisine with an excellent atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌

Had a wonderful meal staff are brilliant and nothing is to much trouble and restaurant has a nice feeling about it, will definitely be going again

A Really nice place to go and have a meal the food and atmosphere are excellent

We had a lovely meal on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and so much of it!! Service was excellent and the atmosphere was brilliant. It was very busy but you really can't beat an Italian on Christmas Eve

Nice and clean, food was delicious, lightening fast service.

Everything is always perfect! Was really busy but that is brilliant to see service quick but friendly making sure everything is perefect! Only thing I would say but wouldn’t take stars away I always ordered the scallops but they have recently changed I prefer the old ones just my opinion wouldn’t stop me going but would love if they brought the old ones back. Love stoccos though only good place I Oldham

delicious food, beautifully presented, large portions. Friendly service - affordable prices.

A wonderful authentic Italian dining experience! We really enjoyed our meal here. The service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. I really can't fault it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal this afternoon. The food was delicious, your staff were top class and the choice of music was classy, while the volume was just right. It was a delightful afternoon altogether, thank you xx

Had a really good meal that was enjoyable. Cocktails are amazing and the staff were attentive and friendly. I didn't get any Italian vibe in the place. There's nothing visually Italian about it. Waiters are Italian sounding, and so nice, yet compare this restaurant to its Norden Sister restaurant in Rochdale, and it's totally different. Where there is Italian colours and theme pictures. You do feel the difference. Plus, it was as noisy as a school dinner hall. It wouldn't take much to vamp the place up abit. Avoid the Christmas pudding, it's £8 for a jam jar lid size of pudding. Disappointing.

The service was truly exceptional, and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere felt far removed from Oldham, and the cleanliness was impeccable. We enjoyed a wonderful evening, and we extend our gratitude to all the staff and chefs.

Delicious food, very attentive staff with great timing. Will come again soon

The restaurant’s design and atmosphere are absolutely stunning—5/5. The beautiful decor, relaxing music, and overall vibe create such an inviting and enjoyable dining experience. Even the design of the plates and the elegant presentation of the food added a special touch to the overall charm. That said, the service could use a little improvement. While the staff greeted us warmly upon arrival, they became less attentive after we were seated. Regular check-ins were rare, especially early on, and small details like having tissues on the table were overlooked. This was a bit surprising, as the service during previous visits had been much friendlier and more attentive. As for the food, it wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped this time. The portions seemed slightly smaller, the pasta was undercooked, and the spaghetti bolognese had too much garlic, which made it hard to enjoy. Unfortunately, a few hours after dining, we experienced some stomach discomfort and I personally had nausea, which hasn’t happened before in previous visits. In summary, the ambiance, food presentation, and overall design are exceptional, but with a little more focus on service and food quality, this restaurant could be truly amazing. Thank you!

The best meal I’ve had in years! The mussels were delicious and the fillet steak was just perfect! We absolutely love coming to this place, everything about it is perfect! Thank you x

As others have said previously and I agree with, a little gem in the backstreets of Oldham. Great food, nice atmosphere and charming staff. Went for the first time last weekend and will be returning!

Amazing restaurant! Amazing staff. Awesome food. Thank you for your great service tonight. The food was above and beyond. I highly recommend you. I am sad as I did not ask for staff names to put them here. Especially the tall, skinny guy(sorry, but your service was amazing , and I don't know your name), we will definitely come back !

Very nice Italian restaurant in Oldham, You can enjoy excellent food in the quiet and wonderful area.

Perfect in every way. Killer restaurant. Lamb and pork absolute legend.

A wonderful Italian restaurant in the centre of Oldham. The restaurant is several steps above the other places to eat nearby. It feels out of place for where it is but I wish there were more places like Stocco in Oldham. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was busy but it felt calm and relaxing.

Delicious food and excellent service at reasonable prices.

Amazing service, amazing food, the best Italian food Ive had, when next in UK and up this way, will definitely be back, thank you.

We travelled all the way from Western Australia to have the best Italian food we’ve ever had! From the warm, friendly welcome to the genuine farewell was a really wonderful experience. The food was just divine. Presentation, taste, smell everything was perfection. We had Mancini, mussels, lobster ravioli and mushroom risotto. Definitely recommend. Also my Ameretto Sours were the best! Thankyou so much to the management and staff 😊

Very impressed with the quality of food and service at Stocco. One of the only places I trust to make gluten free food that's safe for me as a coeliac.

Had a family meal for a family birthday tonight Food was amazing and service was quick. All had different meals not all had starters starters arrived about 10 mins from ordering then again about 10 mins after starters cleared away the mains arrived all together so no waiting. No staff asking is all ok they are there if needed and attend to you very quickly but not to spoil the meal. 5 star service 5vstar food can not recommend enough.. Thanks to All the staff for making our night a very good night.

The food is absolutely brilliant and I have nothing to complain about. Brilliant service exactly what you expect

A fabulous authentic Italian dining experience! We really enjoyed our meal here. Although vegan options were limited, I had a truly delicious pasta dish. The service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. I really can't fault it. A really memorable visit.

Had a lovely meal Saturday night. Place had a great vibe, staff very friendly and helpful, food was delicious all four meals top notch.

Brilliant to see Ben return.Food and drink and service was brilliant. The tirimasu mmmmmm.xxx

Pleasant staff, great food, decent portions. Will be back after the refurbishment.

A wonderful restaurant. Great food and lovely staff.

The food was delicious make sure you go with an empty belly as very big portions

Food was great would 100% book again

Excellent food, great wine, and friendly and attentive staff. An absolute gem of a place in the middle of Oldham! Have been multiple times and never disappointed.

Always a fantastic dining experience. Great food and service. Highly recommended

It was really two great evenings we had. The food was delicious and the service was polite, friendly and relaxed. The food, the service and the atmosphere in the restaurant were as they should be. The price-quality ratio is also very good. Next time I'm in Oldham again I'll eat there again.

Beautiful restaurant, lovely food and the service was fantastic 💯💯 One little thing though, the toilets could do with abit of an update

Great food & wine, with excellent service. And wonderful to see a 'local' restaurant full of satisfied customers enjoying a Saturday night out supporting a great local business 👍

Just outside the town centre of Oldham whilst not very easy to park as in on street car park unless you don't mind walking about 5 mins from the larger mumps interchange carpark, it does have very easy reach public transport. Inside is nicely decorated and warm, staff very friendly and attentive. Drinks flowed and reasonably priced for our party of 8. Food was absolutely superb could not find fault really hit the mark on every course all three including the side dishes. Toilets (because lets face it we all visit) clean respectable yet bijou that was the gents at any rate. Prices were reasonable and as you would expect for an Italian restaurant but very much worth that night out be it work related or something special. Would recommend

Great restaurant, the foods always superb and love going here with all ym family

Great food and service with a sense of humour. Staff were brilliant, we asked for a speciality dish not on the menu, the chief catered for our request, the food was top-notch 👌

Another lovely meal at this excellent restaurant. 6 members of my family present and an early evening meal with our 8 year old granddaughter..booked a table for 4.30PM..unusually so as when we adults attend it's 7 30pm. Great ambience..no superstars with emotionally fragile egos....all respectful,decent family people and the food exceptional. Garlic bread etc to start followed by risottos and lasagne with ice cream and liquer coffees and we'll maintained beer throughout proceedings. Good consistent standards at this establishment..friendly and polite over the phone with no hassle on arrival. Miguel a superb Manager..very good with names and treats customers with respect and dignity at all times.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations, even as someone who's typically very discerning about food. The attentive service and delicious dishes were a delightful surprise, especially considering the reasonable prices.

Amazing food. Never ever misses !

Lovely friendly restaurant, been on several occasions now 2 Xmas parties and teas out with a friend, always very welcoming, reasonable price, great food never had a bad meal and always happy to do me a doggy bag for home 😊would highly recommend this restaurant they also have a branch in Norden so if booking over the phone don't forget to check which place you're booking as staff are authentic Italians there English is good but good to clarify 👌will look forward to returning again soon,

Good quality restaurant on the high street.

Very tasty food, authentic Italian, excellently presented, great value for money, warm friendly staff, great ambience. A must visit.

Staff was very polite and respectful. The carbonara was soooo good!!! I fell in love with the carbonara it was amazing . Only downside is that the restaurant is way too packed and noisy so I could barely hear my friends speak but other than that everything was perfect

Stocco is just amazing the service second to none but the food just wow . They don’t need reviews as the place is always packed out but thought I’d drop a line and a few pics Bravo stocco my new favourite place Been a few more times since first review Saturday 17/3/2024 new pics added another top meal . Only one slight criticism is that I had to ask a couple of times for things that should have been done immediately BUT it was a busy Saturday night . Note to waiters if customers pile empty plates ready for collection don’t return to the kitchen empty handed ! They did this annoyingly a few times but it’s the food that’s spot on the lamb shank went down well the sea bass was enjoyed but my seafood risotto was just ok nothing special . Still like the place but some dishes obviously better than others

Brilliant food and service as always. No long waits and perfect portion sizes. Atmosphere great but can get a bit loud at times.

The food is delicious. Kasia, the server, was absolutely perfect. Going again tonight. :)

Had dinner here on the evening of mothers day. The service was excellent as was the food and atmosphere. The portions were large and both my daughter and I were unable to eat it all. I would thoroughly recommend dining here.

Stocoo had become our regular restaurant for occasions the food is seocnd to none with a keen professional waiting service. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you. Went with the family for a birthday treat. Antipasti and garlic bread was spot on, pasta meals are lovely and super filling, yet again a great meal! Went for a team lunch and really enjoyed the food. Over estimated the portions and was well and truly full. Out of Oldham's venues for me it's high upvsg the top Had our annual Christmas lunch at Stocco and was really enjoyed by all, the steak was fantastic!! Regularly visit for team events, service and food is brilliant!

Very genuine Italian in the heart of Oldham Centre. Fantastic food that would rival anything you could find in Central Manchester with friendly, quick service. Lively atmosphere without being too loud. Equally perfect for a date night or a Birthday Party. Will definitely come again. Steak fillet was spectacular and the kitchen were able to accommodate request for Diane sauce. Great food for a special occasion.

We are regulars, since the the first day it opened, the standard in food, service, and atmosphere has never dropped !

Only ordered the takeaway for Valentines day food was amazing and at a great price service was excellent already looking to book to eat in as it looked really nice inside would highly recommend

I have to be honest, Service was poor. Kept sending food and drinks to different tables. Starter was tasty but Luke warm at best. Mains was a Duck pasta, Duck was in cubes and pasta was undercooked. Sweets selection is poor so didn't bother. Don't mind paying for quality, but this wasn't it unfortunately.

Really nice italian with a good price point wish there was more chocolatie things on the deserts menu but im a bit childish so 😅 the cheese cake was delightful though

amazing place and service. food was delicious

Enjoyed everything this is the place In my favorite places to eat 🎂🎈🎉xx thank you

Great atmosphere. Bit of a wait for a booked table but great food and drinks and great service. Thanks.

From a warm reception, to punctual service, to a great selection on the menu, to a tasty meal to a quite reasonable bill.

First time here. Wowed by the atmosphere straight away. The food, service and surroundings all superb. Can’t wait to go back!

Been a few times can't fault it service is great and food is really nice, last visit was on New year's eve and it was really busy but same great service and excellent food can't fault the place will be back soon.

Stocco is the best Italian restaurant in Greater Manchester 😋 I love the seafood variety and the calamari was spot on, as was the service and all the dishes. Worth a visit and I will visit again!

Everything was spot on about this place, we were looking for somewhere local, I enjoyed my meal out with the girls, we couldn’t talk because the food was too good! It had been a very long time since I enjoyed my food like this. We didn’t expect this place to be on point! Will be coming back with more people!

Usual Christmas madness. Very busy night and staff run off their feet. Food ok and everyone on our table enjoyed what they got. Prices reasonable too.

Busy restaurant. Good food, good service with no complaints

Tasty dishes! Good staff and service!

Been here a few times now found by mistake but so glad we did. The food is always amazing and well presented. The staff are always friendly and very attentive. Ended up here Saturday and it was so busy but they still managed to find us a table and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you and see you again soon.

First time here and food and service was gorgeous

Fantastic experience, Italian approved! I was really impressed with both food quality and staff service, it’s been all amazing from start to end! I really loved finding the tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale, very well executed. I totally enjoyed it and will certainly be back!

Good atmosphere and great service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Thanks

So sorry to say as this has always been our go to for a lovely meal, don't know ifthey have taken the chef to new place, the meal we had last night was very poor, will we go again? Maybe everybody can have a bad night but hopefully back to how it was.

Excellent service friendly staff .Spotlessly clean

Order a few starters. Most of it was tasty, but the rib was disgusting. Wine ok. It was very quiet, but the service was good. Bit pricey too

It was absolutely amazing. The staff, food and service was brilliant. Will definitely be going back again.

Loved it. Had prawns to start which were large and good sized portion, carbonara was creamy, full of lardons and shared a tiramisu - amazing. Had a taste of my wife’s mushroom risotto. Wow! Don’t actually like mushrooms but it was a taste sensation.

Great food great staff we'll be back

We don't eat out a lot, but we do love it here, suits all the families different tastes in food, staff friendly, food great.

I have to apologise in advance to the staff at Stocco for this review. The food as always was excellent. The staff were also first class. The downside (as another reviewer has stated) was the noise level. It seemed like a bad idea to put a party of 16 people (7 of which were young children) right in the middle of the restaurant. The noise level was horrendous. We honestly could not hear anything within our own party due to this.

Had a great meal this afternoon table for eight. Great service, good food, and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant
