The Italian Job in Trafford

I can’t stress how good this place is with kids. Patient, treat them like adults and always have time for them. Brilliant.

Good food, although my calzone was a little overdone on the bottom.

Fantastic meal!! Lovely staff. Came here for nephews 13th birthday, the service and food was amazing.

Came here with our family and dear friends for a special meal to mark our beautiful daughter's 40th birthday. What a perfect choice of venue. Su and the team are the most genuine welcoming staff you could wish for. The team are so attentive, polite and helpful. The food is to die for!! Thanks to all at the Italian Job for making our meal and special one to remember forever.

Very nice family run restaurant where I came with my friends. We had the vegetarian and pescatarian options. The salmon Tagliatelle pasta and the garlic bread was very delicious. The milkshake was excellent, just like from a dessert shop!

Fabulous Italian eat in or take away. Generations of families have made many happy memories here with good food and service. Thanks x

Excellent food and fabulous ambience and service there.

We both had Steak Rossini, excellent as always.

We were at a 75th birthday and all i can say is that the service and food were fantastic, the staff were so friendly and polite and not overpriced at all. It was a bit of a forgotten place for us but we will deffo be going back again soon.

Family Birthday Celebration Great menu. Great service, very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return. Nothing was too much trouble. Nice to have the outdoor area as well.

Food and staff were excellent. The room was noisy with other customers, but otherwise we had a great meal.

As good as ever, thanks to Su and the team for a great Anniversary night.

Staff are very friendly and lovely. I really enjoyed the food as well

Another superb delicious meal last night for hubby's birthday. This is why I have been going in here the last 40 years since 1994. Staff very friendly great service make you feel at home. Thanks Sue and staff see you soon.

I recently celebrated my 18th birthday at The Italian job, and it was an amazing experience! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure all our needs were met. The food was exceptional and atmosphere was charming. The service truly went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Highly recommend!

Always wonderful food and great service, it really is a family friendly place to eat traditional Italian meals. Great selections from a really comprehensive menu. Everything is made to order so can be slightly modified for special dietary requirements or preferences. 100% recommended and appreciated by all my guests. Clive of Manchester

Thank you to all the staff for their hospitality we were there to celebrate my birthday we had a wonderful evening the staff and the food were amazing would highly recommend this restaurant Carole Glynn

We've been coming here for almost 40 years and we still love it. Atmosphere, food, service, value are all better than ever. They deserve their continuing success. Always feels like a really special event.

We have been going to the Italian job for over 20 years and still a family favourite. The food is reasonably priced and can tell it still a familyowned restaurant.

Order only one item to takeout, they added garlic bread on the house. Very polite and friendly staff. Will visit again

As always, superb food and service, plus a great atmosphere

Absolutely fabulous tasty meal tonight. Been a long time since we’ve eaten out after me suffering from an anaphylactic shock at Christmas. Felt so confident in their hands after I’d told them of my new shell fish allergy. The kitchen were informed and the food I ordered as so tasty ! Well run family restaurant. Adult size portions, tasty, delicious Italian food. Thank you x

Been there lots of times food always spot on staff very helpful and friendly

Food is always lovely and staff really friendly

Simple family restaurant, good food, good service with no frills

Always so friendly and welcoming.

Used to be the pride of Urmston but food has gone downhill over the past few years. Pizzas were once freshly baked, now frozen bases, the only good traditional thing is the garlic bread & rib sauce which has always been a favourite! We do hope it returns to former days of excellent Italian home cooked food!

Was worried as was full house. Some tables had alot of guests in one party so was worried about food arriving. Starters arrived and was delish everyone enjoyed. The main arrived fresh and hot. Had carbonara and is the best I’ve have had. Son wants to go back!!

We came for our first Mother’s Day and had the best experience. The food was delicious, staff were brilliant, we felt really looked after as slightly nervous new parents with our 13 week old! Will definitely be back soon

Service outstanding massive thank you to our host Antonio made our night really special and nothing was to much trouble. Thank you and we will be back.

Fantastic meal here this evening. Service was incredible and Antonio was great!

Antonio was incredible & really looked after us all! Amazing food & service

What a great night! Antonio and the team were fantastic. Cant wait to come back!

lOVE this place. Amazingly friendly staff who go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Food is always fab and prices are not expensive.

Gorgeous venue and amazing staff. The food is fresh and lovely. Nothing seems to be too much for the staff. Can't recommend enough.

Had my 60th meal/party here on Saturday, food was amazing and hospitality second to none, minor issue that was resolved immediately and didn’t spoil the night at all. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon.

Good food, great service. Fair prices.

Another wonderful meal for our anniversary. Love this place so much, the staff are great and the food is amazing. All the years it's been there the atmosphere, service and especially the food stays the highest quality.

Pleasant restaurant but a lot of people in large parties on Sunday early evening, which meant service was a little slower than would have been expected. My wife's lasagne was cool and as such she didn't enjoy it very much.

Been going here for many many years ..from my teens to now 63. Fabulous food. Friendly staff. A regular go to place.

Lively and welcoming atmosphere, cozy and homely. The food was hot, well presented, and fantastically tasty, and the service was quick but not too quick. Definitely recommend the Tagliatelle Salmon.

Brilliant place, food was great. Steak was cooked perfect to med-rare. Felt a little crowded and small tables though. Perfect for a group of 4

Came in for a casual meal, never been before, however live very local. The food was delicious and the service couldn't be better. The manager was very friendly and chatty. We were even offered two drinks on the house after paying. Could not recommend more. I am very happy with the Italian Job! :)

Little 💎 first time visiting last night. Nothing too much trouble for the excellent staff. Food was amazing and I usually find something to moan about so credit where credit is due. They even went out of their way to cook the birthday girl a meal that wasn't on the menu which was above and beyond. Will definitely go again.

With the family for a 21st birthday. There was a delay meaning part of our party were running late no issues. Staff were amazing. Food amazing. Can't fault anything x

We Christmas dinner with family and friends that we meet there every Christmas we have been going to the Italian Job for Christmas dinner for the past four years our friends will vet and we do it's great to catch up where you can all be together they make us so welcome

Great staff who dealt with a large group very well.

It s been over 10 years we drive from manchester city centre to go to this restuarant. They have amazing food and very nice atmosphere. lovely and friendly staff and reasonable price. Everything is perfect in here🫶

Went for a Christmas meal with a group from work. Food was lovely, staff were very friendly.

We visited last Saturday on a works Xmas party , it was fantastic . The food was nice , however the atmosphere was amazing . It was buzzzing and the cheeky chap waiter was a real character . Looking forward to my next visit . 😊

Excellent have been eating here for 30 years, just had my son's 21st birthday here , really enjoyable and they made it special, Thanks Sue and all the staff xx Just been asked on my Google timeline has the Italian Job changed....no it bloody hasn't and we don't want it to 👍 Update...just had his 23rd there...still the best👍

Beautiful food, attentive staff.

Delicious! Great fillet steak and blue cheese sauce.

Booked our 3rd family occasion here never fails to impress staff are always attentive very family friendly great value for money. First meal here was 34yrs ago and it's still as good, booked my daughter's 18th, mum's 70th, upstairs had a disco so she danced the night away literally! no rushing to get you out best place in Urmston for hospitality, had work Xmas party's here. Recently had daughter's baby shower here even provided a table for the cake(gender reveal) and balloons booked the party menu 3 courses £22each 27 guests food arrived hot and on time plates cleared away when finished asked if the desserts were wanted straight away or do we want a 15min break helped take a group photo, next girls Xmas party. Fab place lots of space upstairs area aswell never had a bad meal.

A long overdue visit. Dined in. The experience was so 😍 lovely. Still thinking about the carreta folded pizza which was divine and the tiramuso for dessert. Staff were friendly, informal and very attentive. A great evening had by all in our party.

BEST ITALIAN FOOD AVAILABLE 5******** Great staff and service lovely atmosphere Highly recommend for the family

Lovely place, food is amazing and great service too.

We also had the garlic bread but was very disappointed with it, for it was just a tortilla with garlic oil on it

The Italian job has legendary status in Urmston, it was for many years the go to place and has in some sense stood the test of time. But… I can’t help but feel that it is trading on past glories. We went for a Sunday lunch family meal, the first time visiting in probably 10 years having moved from the area, but back then I was a regular. Essentially the menu hasn’t changed in all that time, but the food coming out of the kitchen has. Everything was bland, and seemed to have been cooked from frozen. Garlic bread bases were cardboard like. Pasta dishes under seasoned. Steaks over cooked and not in the authentic sauce advertised. Calamari frozen. Also, a bizarre choice of potato and veg OR chips. Like you can’t have veg with your chips!? Crazy. Chips clearly oven cooked from frozen. There isn’t anything authentic anymore about this place and it’s really sad because this used to be so good. I suppose there’s the memories.

Great food and service. We were a party of 12 and the food came very quickly so we could all eat together. Well done to the lovely staff.

We dinned here Friday evening 😎. It has been a very long over due visit. As always the food was spot on. Starters a garlic bread overload 😋 wow, just as expected, delicious. An array of main courses ordered pizza,pasta, fish, steak, chicken, kids meals & food to go. The staff are so lovely and very friendly & go above and beyond. It was my daughter's birthday, we brought a birthday cake, candles, sparkler for cake. The dressed the cake ,candles flickering sparkler thing going off. The atmosphere was fantastic, everyone in the restaurant joined in singing happy birthday....Highly recommend The Italian job, love ❤️ this place, great value , freshly cooked food...Yum x

We booked a table for four based on a strong recommendation from a friend. The restaurant is deceptively large inside and it has a real buzz of an atmosphere that all great restaurants generally do. The waiter was a real character and once he realised we were up for a laugh we had a great night with him filled with banter. The restaurant is quite extensive and includes much of the dishes that you would expect. I had the mussels that were presented on a plate rather than in a dish with cream as I have had them in the past, however, this wasn’t an issue and they were lovely. I was looking forward to my pizza having looked at the menu in advance and whilst the toppings were great, I couldn’t help thinking that the base had been prepared at some point in advance due to the consistency and shape. Looking at other pictures and the other Pizza in our party it’s does seem to be the case but I’m happy to be corrected. Unfortunately, this did take the edge off slightly as I do love a freshly baked pizza with a fresh base. Overall, however, a really good night in a great atmosphere with generally authentic Italian food. We would definitely recommend and come back at some point.

Rib sauce! Wow, just wow Fantastic staff and service, always a real buzz there. Love it.

Friendly, helpful staff and delicious food... as always!

This place never fails! We came tonight with our 4 year old and he loved the garlic bread and lasagna! I had the risotto which is always just divine and the others in our party had the steaks! All cooked to perfection! Staff were so attentive even though the restaurant was very busy! Best Italian around by an absolute mile!

If you want soggy cold garlic bread, full fat spare ribs, and lasagna with no sauce and looks like sick, Go to the Italian job.

We had booked a table at Istanbul Grill and found on arrival that it had closed down! Called in next door, at The Italian Job, on the off chance that they could fit six in for a meal. To our delight they could, and served us all a very good meal. Very friendly and efficient staff. We will return.

Recently went here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was lovely and great service. Was quite busy but plenty of staff. Reasonably priced too and had a great atmosphere.

I booked a meal here for a surprise 40th for my daughter, from booking to the actual meal everything was 1st class!! Always got back to me straight away by email, no problem when I changed numbers a few times. The food was amazing, not one complaint from anyone in the party. Staff were attentive, friendly and more than happy to help. Will definitely be returning

Sea food is absolutely delicious. Good atmosphere

I came here for my birthday party with a couple of friends. The staff was extremely kind and the food was delicious! I would 100% come here again and I definitely recommend this place for bonding with family and friends. :) BEST RESTAURANT!!

My husband and I have been dining at this restaurant for over 40 years and the standards have remained consistent. Great service, great food and drink and great value for money. They tick all our boxes. Well done to all the team at the Italian Job and thank you. The steak and trimmings is amazing.

This has got to be one of the worst Italian restaurant I've been too! I got a garlic bread to start the amount of cheese was ridiculous the base taste like cardboard no flavour! I then got a pizza omg I've never tasted a pizza so bad, It was like a corner shop bought pizza no taste no flavour I literally had two slices and that was it. Others in my party food was mediocre to say least. This place will never be seeing me again!

A great birthday meal for my cousin... they even brought him a complementary dessert ! Will have to go again

It was very good and really worth the visit.

Fabulous staff, great menu, best steak in town, really good prices Nothing is too much trouble . Best to book at the weekend as its always busy

Had a 60th celebration last night it was amazing the food was delicious and the staff are wonderful can't ask for better service xx will definitely go again it's clean and a happy place to go xx

This is an absolutely fabulous restaurant. We eat here regularly and never have we had a bad meal. Great value, lovely food, really tasty and good size portions. Ate here with family for my 60th birthday and made to feel very special from the moment...

Long time since I've been here, managed to get a late booking to celebrate Valentines Night with my Darling Wife. Delighted to see that the owners had decorated the Restaurant specially for the evening, which created a lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed a starter of Calamari, my...

Great food ,friendly staff, reasonable prices. Can get noisy at busy times. Try the garlic bread so thin but so tasty.

I love love this restaurant the food is delicious the staff are so kind and helpful and just want you to enjoy your evening family atmosphere relaxed and happy

Went for my birthday and as always wasn’t disappointed! Delicious fresh food, served quickly. Great value for money and lovely staff. Went for my happy birthday and was given a complimentary desert. Felt very taken care of and will be back again soon! Thank you!

Wonderful food, great value for money and very friendly, helpful staff. Booked for my birthday and got complimentary birthday desert. Always feel so well taken care of here and food is consistently tasty and fresh! Will be back again soon! Thanks!

Wow!!!! Was brilliant..food really good. Service great..can't complain about anything...

After eating here before and not enjoying the food I have to say this time all food delicious. Staff friendly as always but not sure if it's the food I ordered or an improvement but the food was delicious. Had garlic bread, Ribs and pasta...

Amazing x 100. Fab staff, the food is stunning..... garlic bread has not changed in years..... and I love it. Had a fantastic family meal 😋

Lovely food great staff and reso priced food

Love this place, food, staff & alcohol 🤪 is always spot on, my fave 'go to' place 🙋‍♀️

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

My family from Cumbria were visiting my wife and I, so we booked for Saturday night. The gentleman with the top-knot was our server, and initially everything was fine. When the mains came however, three of the dishes were wrong and the special my wife...

Italian job accommodated us last min. 5 adults/6 children. Cannot fault, their food was top notch and service excellent😁. Relaxed atmosphere beautiful decorations very festive. All in all lovely evening ..thank you. Loved our waiter 🤣🤣🤣

lovely owners who support the local community and Steve has been in the kitchen for years making great veggie pizzas plus more!

Well the Italian Job came up trumps again! They accommodated our party of 7 at such short notice last night after being let down by another local restaurant. We were celebrating my sister in laws 50th birthday and they made it so special for her....

By far the best place for families and kids to enjoy an Italian meal together! We love this place and the food is always awesome and the staff super friendly- Great atmosphere!!

Great standard of food for reasonable prices great for birthdays staff are lovely . Our food did take a bit of time but was understandable as we were a bug group. Kids meals were massive portions and garlic bread was DELICIOUS !

Went here with friends Sat night, hadn't been for quite a while,must say everything was excellent. Great menu & prices

The food was good, calamari was perfectly cooked, I had a calzone and he had a pepperoni pizza and both were really good but the service is what made the place just brilliant! Every server was just amazing at their jobs! Funny, not too fast not too slow and couldn't do enough for you! I was a pain and asked for garlic butter which they didn't do... and yet this server came out with his attempt at garlic butter which was delicious, very happy! Then there's Antonio, what a guy!! Incredibly funny and made you feel like you'd been friends for years! 100% will be back thanks for the incredible staff and atmosphere! Thanks everyone! Also sorry for the half eaten food pic, we were very hungry! 😁

Great visit. Staff very attentive. Food was delicious, an expansive menu, and reasonable prices. A lovely visit. Definitely recommend, gets busy so I recommend booking ahead

Absolutely brilliant night for my wife's 50th , the food was superb and the staff couldn't do enough for us, couldn't of gone any better thank you so much
