Vero Moderno in Salford

We had a lovely evening for my grandmas birthday. The food was exceptional and we were looked after by a lovely gentleman named Josue, he was very friendly and a great conversationalist. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Amazing food! Staff are really friendly and welcoming. Spot on!

We stopped by on the off chance they had a table free it was busy. We were seated, and the waiters came over asking if we needed water, which came in a bottle. The menu is inusual. You get pieces of king prawns and swordfish, which we thought they were saving money as it would look more, but they would use less. We both ordered the swordfish around £20. Unfortunately, we had to send ours back twice as the pasta wasn't cooked - not Al dente, which we were reminded of twice. We didn't complain when the dish arrived the 3rd time it was to our liking. By this time it was 7.25 the manager Pepe came over and said we needed to vacate our table as the 2nd sitting was due, he was rather rude and later as he chased us out of the establishment he said he was going to move us to another table which seemed odd, why couldn't he just sit the other people there? and why did he fail to inform us of that when we arrived, bearing in mind if we hadn't sent the food back twice we would have been gone. The manager offered us another bill as my partner pointed out how rude he had been before we walked out - and we paid for the meal in full. We were invited back the following week - but would you go back? the service started off great and turned into rude. We questioned was it because we sent the good back ?

The owner is clearly an aggressive blameworthy person so IMO avoid.. We've ordered from this venue and the sourdough pizza is actually good but it's also good from the numerous other Italian restaurants in Manchester. So I've tried phoning to book in the past and that time the owner responded and said he couldn't hear me but the thing that put me off was that I use my mobile phone constantly and here he is saying aggressively and in a blameworthy manner: "I can't hear you coz your phone signal is bad". Well my phone signal is great as we have a mast on the next block of roads and I even get 1GB download speeds on mobile 5g signal off my phone. Dare I suggest that the venue has a handheld phone or a bad reception? Of course the owner would probably start blaming and cursing as you can read in his childish review responses further down. Anyway we booked at Salvis Italian restaurant on that occasion. Anyway the reason I am giving Vero Moderno such a review is based on my latest surreal exchange with the owner which is detailed below: I phoned in between my work calls and again he responded in his usual unpleasant abrupt manner and insisted he could not hear me and to call back. I called back from my wife's phone and when he responded I suggested maybe their phone system had a fault or the handheld unit was too far from the base unit. God ...... Maybe I shouldn't have dared to suggest that as he sarcastically retorted "No, it's at your end". Ok..... So let's move to the booking bit. So I asked for a table for 4 on Easter Saturday weekend. He then read the T&C's out which included an upfront £40 deposit payable over the phone and part of which would not be refunded if any of the party didn't show. He then asked if I was happy with that. I responded nicely and calmly that I wasn't exactly happy but it was fine and acceptable. He then responded that if I wasn't completely happy then perhaps I shouldn't dine at their venue to which I replied ok then. No skin off my nose and TBH I don't know if it was because he is not a native speaker or if it's his nervous disposition but hey ho, how is he a good face for this restaurant or for Italian migrants? I hope he is the sole investor because I will not order from there or ever set foot in the place again. Ps: for legal purposes I'd like to point out that Google reviews works based on the level of anonymity that the poster desires so where he has accused posters of being anonymous I'd like to point him to the GDPR regulations.

Beautiful food, great staff and lovely atmosphere! Our favourite place!

Fabulous food, highly recommend.

Delicious and perfectly made food

My wife and I went for lunch.went for the a La carte menu. Absolutely amazing 10/10 Will definitely be making it our No1 Italian to go to. Also ha some amazing Cocktails.

My favourite Italian spot with true and authentic Italian food!

Paulo and all of the stuff were very welcoming. Food was lovely, we will definitely come again!

Excellent food, authentic Italian, very different to the usual chain stores. Reasonably priced as well. Will definitely return! The stuaff were very pleasant and accommodating. Can't fault them in anything. 4 stars because there was big gap between starter and main, almost an hour.

We had a wonderful time. 10/10 would definitely recommend

The best Italian food we have eaten. Fresh, authentic and delicious. Staff are fantastic, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We would eat here every week if we could! 💙🇮🇹

Without a shadow of a doubt, Vero Moderno is a culinary delight for those wanting to taste the real, fresh and authentic flavours of Italy. The amazing service, the unbelievable food, the lovely ambiance, with a menu choice that is not your traditional Italian trattoria style of loaded red sauce fresh out of a bottle, and over-baked and burnt lasagna made days before! No, this is a truly different style of Italian cuisine with a twist that has your taste buds flowing and leaves you with a true flavour of the many regions of Italy and the traditional flavours encapsulated in every mouthful of food you know has been freshly made that day and has been prepared lovingly and passionately for you to savour and enjoy. This is our go to Italian restaurant, we have had family party’s catered for, from 30+ guests to intimate dining with my wife. Today we went for Saturday brunch and enjoyed a multitude of superb offerings that were simply divine and endless cocktails to accompany.

An unbelievable experience of Italian food the way your mama, your Nonna and your Zia never prepared it. Inspired Italian cuisine with a twist. Delicious food in a restaurant with a chilled vibe and phenomenal service overseen by the lovely Beppe. This is the place to go for fresh and delicious food made for the discerning diner. Try the Sunday roast, it’s truly amazing. The pizza, well, you don’t have to go to Napoli for one of the best you will taste!! Oh, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself sitting nearby to superstar footballers who rave about the place!

My favourite place in Manchester. Always treat me like home. Thank you guys.

This is the second time I've been here, the food is amazing and the service is even better. Very attentive and always there to top up your glass. Thank you!

Great place. Classic neighbourhood Italian vibes, great food and wonderful people.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I’ve been too, the food is so fresh and beautifully seasoned. The staff are very friendly and attentive I will be back thank you very much:)

This place is unreal the best pasta I’ve eaten in my 53 years of being alive!! Inside is beautiful light and inviting and the smell is addictive! Paulo was our waiter and he ensured our dining experience was perfect 🫶🏾 The food is super fresh!! I will be back here in a regular It’s the spot for an authentic Italian food!! Thank you 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Really nice food, but overpriced wine and drinks.

Veryv good service lovely atmosphere

Lovely little Italian place, food and service were great, and so nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

Awesome food, awesome service, awesome staff. A very authentic feel. I would recommend to all.

Andrea and the rest of her team were so hospitable and kind. The food was exceptional and the wine was some of the best we’ve had. Our first time coming and we will be back!

Great food and great service would deffo recommend

This afternoon I visited Vero Moderno to celebrate my friend's birthday. We had a bottle of Merlo, red wine recommended by Andrea and I chose a margarita pizza with extra mushrooms, which were fresh and made the pizza delicious. The service provided by Andrea, from filling our glasses when they were empty to recommending the restaurant's flavors, was wonderful. We had a wonderful time.

Great eat atmosphere, fabulous food with witty, helpful staff. Beppe even helped us with our Uber booking when he spotted us struggling with the app outside the restaurant after our meal. Grazie Millie , Beppe

Such warm lovely hosts. The food was gorgeous too.

Everything was really wonderful. Service was outstanding, food was delicious and atmosphere was really perfect. We will be back for sure! Thank you.

Awesome food and service as always!

We had a very good time! As Italians we can confirm the fact that here you will find authentic cuisine that brought us back to Italy. We will definitely be back to eat here next time we are in Manchester!

We had a great time, very kind, but above all high-level food as only Italians can do!

Great place, will definitely be back!!

10/10 best Italian in town, delicious fresh pizza

Non si mangia male ma sono talmente scortesi e maleducati che non si meritano nemmeno un giudizio. Il posto è normale in un quartiere nulla di che, basterebbe poco per essere apprezzati un pochino di più. Peccato la prima impressione era buona.

Great service, great food, recommend if in Manchester/ Salford area.

Awesome as always! Amazing food, staff and atmosphere.

Beautiful food. Fantastic host. 100% recommend.

Amazing food and great hosting. Loved coming to Vera!

Beautiful food, beautiful service. Highly recommend

Absolutely stunning food, beautiful atmosphere and even better service! Will definitely be back!

Very lovely experience, amazing staff, great food, best meal I’ve been in a long time, made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Thank you

Food and service are always great - definitely one of the best and most authentic Italian restaurants in Manchester and we will be back again very soon!

Had a lovely time at Vero Moderno. Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere. We will be coming again, thanks Beppe for a lovely evening.

Lovely staff, great food. Sword fish was unreal

Absolutely amazing and will be coming back again. Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. When I did the booking online, there was a box for any additional requests. I asked for the staff to sing Happy Birthday to my husband. The manager confirmed everything to me when I turned up (husband was parking the car). Lovely place, atmosphere and staff. Would absolutely come again and recommend other too as well

Absolutely loved Vero Moderno! The food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. Bepe looked after us and he was an absolute dream. He took the time to get to know us, and told us places to go as we were visiting from London. The margarita cocktail with a twist was divine. Can’t recommend enough.

A pleasure to return here & find it just as good as I remembered! Good options for GF and always friendly service.

Amazing food and service as always. Beppe makes you feel very welcome and the food, as usual, is 10/10

I don't normally write reviews, but for this restaurant I had to. Where do I start. The food was amazing and honestly the best prawns I have ever had. Cooked to perfection. We arrived earlier and just sat outside with a cold beer watching the world go by until our booking time. The atmosphere was just so warm and inviting. The staff were just amazing. So kind and polite and right there when you needed them. All the food was just beautiful and I only left half my main as I was full to burst. The portions are quite generous. This restaurant is worth the money and more in my opinion. I've paid more in the past for less quality and service. It was a perfect evening to celebrate my 50th birthday and I will certainly be going back. I just wanted to add that I found the owner to be so very kind and thoughtful and along with all the other staff he made our visit and my special birthday a truly wonderful evening to remember.

A lovely meal at Vero Moderno tonight! Attentive service, lovely food, and very pleasant ambiance!

Firstly, the staff were brilliant with a particular mention to Andrea. The food was fresh and flavoursome. The prawns were cooked beautifully as was the pasta, bread, everything. The tiramisu was gorgeous. Overall a wonderful night with wonderful food.

We came here to celebrate my 30th birthday! Food was amazing, very tasty and just delicious. Service was excellent too. Good portion sizes, authentic Italian food, 💯 recommend. We will definitely return!

Our server and the owner were very nice and attentive and we could see the owner was very hands on, very hard working and involved which was great to see.

What an amazing restaurant. Staff are fantastic and friendly and so accommodating. Food was excellent and sooooooo good. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a lovely authentic Italian meal. It’s such a hidden gem. Def worth a visit.

Fantastic food and service in relaxed surroundings.

Food is amazing, amazing service and made to feel very welcome always

Amazing staff who are very friendly and provide a great service. The food is delicious from the starters to the light tasty deserts and best garlic bread in town!

Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Best Italian in Manchester. Manager and the staff are all unbelievable at there jobs.

Excellent service and food. The ox cheek meatballs were fantastic!

Great service and fantastic food. Paolo looked after us very well. Cant wait to return.

Came here for my birthday with my girlfriend, service and food amazing - thanks so much!

Great service from Paolo! Lovely food.

Unreal meal - Beppe (the owner) great guy, looked after us.. will definitely be back

Wow! Super authentic food, great inside and out and the staff are amazing. Really attentive, friendly etc. this is the first Italian restaurant in the U.K. which I can say wholeheartedly is truly producing truly authentic Italian cuisine. You can taste the love and how everything is homemade. Thank you Beppe

Food banging got the duck and prawn pasta was 10/10 chef knows what he’s doing, desert was amazing

Went last week for a really lovely meal. Starters were interesting and very tasty, the mains were a good size and again high quality. The thing that let the meal down was some over zealous service. While pouring a glass of wine our waiter grabbed the bottle out of my hand and continued to pour himself saying it was his job. I laughed but explained I didn’t need help pouring wine and that I’m well versed in doing it myself but thanked him anyway. This was ignored and he repeatedly came over to pour further glasses (I didn’t want to ruin a meal by kicking off about it). It’s a shame as the food was great and the rest of the service was spot on but there’s just no need. We all know that this is just a ploy to try and get you to drink faster and I think if you specifically ask not to have your wine poured for you it’s not a major thing and you should be listened to.

Amazing food and amazing service and lovely staff. Will definitely be back !

Lovely Sunday family dinner, recommend the Infoltini Pollo. Will come again 👍🏼

Food is so good, and very friendly service. Will be going back soon!

Absolutely loved it here. I would definitely recommend the Oxtail Ragu it’s beautiful 🖤

This is my favorite restaurant in the WORLD! I simply like the food and atmosphere there! I have been living in Italy for a year, but damn I love this place, it is more tasty and vibrant! Francesco and Beppe are warm and enthusiastic, make you feel so sweet! My favorite dish is the aubergine, it tastes unreal! And the cocktails are special and enjoyable!

This place is absolutely amazing. Amazing food and such a friendly staff. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Real Italian pizza, incredibly crispy and good base! Pleasant service, sang a birthday song for our son 😃

Perfect food at a reasonable price quality service and excellent choice of drinks

Fabtastic tasty food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Celebrated our friends 30th birthday here and the team couldn’t do enough for us all.

Incredible food and wine, matched with warm friendly and kind staff. A real treat and small corner of Italy hidden on the Salford / Manchester doorstep.

We are italian, we trusted the reviews and we are not disappointed. Real italian taste. Everything made our visit an amazing experience!!! The food and the service were super good. Thank you guys!

Great experience! Great service from Josue!!! The best in Manchester.

Came for a pre-gig dinner and it was a delight. Staff very friendly, food was quick, fresh and delicious. I ordered a fantastic prawn pasta dish but thankfully got to try my partner's margherita pizza which was stunning also. A decent selection of Italian beers also. Not cheap but not breaking the bank either.

Beautiful food! Very authentic and lovely friendly staff. Will definitely be back again

Better than Italy 🇮🇹 Love it sooo much and really nice staff too

The absolute loveliest service in the world, complimented by amazing food. Very impressed with my meal (it is even veggie and vegan friendly!)

Absolutely incredible Graduation lunch. Superb service, food & atmosphere- thanks so much - The Wilson fam from Chester

Delicious, friendly staff, lovely vibes

The food was so fresh and incredible, especially the pasta. You can tell all the pasta is handmade! The portions are extremely generous and the tiramisu and gelato were excellent! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great experience, food and service was great. Paolo has been great 😃. Thank you for the little treat for my wife really appreciated.

First time and it won't be the last. Great service and great food
