Williams Sandwich Bar in Manchester

There was no pistachio available and no truffle. We also ordered focaccia and what arrived on our table was ordinary bread. I mentioned this to the waitress and yet she still charged us for focaccia. This typified her very offhand service. On the plus side, the arrancini was tasty and the mushroom pasta was nice. Pretty disappointed.

I took a pasta della nonna, it’s is pasta whit meatballs and tomato; my friend took a truffle portobello. Very good! The sauce was fantastic and the service very precise. I advise this place, if you want try something from Sicily, but modified to English cuisine. The dessert are very good. I definitely come back. Thank you for this experience.

Food was wayy overpriced for what it was. We ordered the meatballs and the mushroom pasta and they both tasted bland and uninteresting, the meatballs were also tiny compared to what was shown in the restaurants pictures. There was a hair in our drink as well!! I wouldn't be complaining if the food was cheap but for £18 - £20 a dish it was an absolute rip off, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else!

We loved the food here, it’s an authentic Sicilian taste with high quality ingredients and simply cooked, absolutely delicious! The staff are excellent and really friendly and I even had the opportunity to practice my Italian with Claudio who was very patient with me! It’s a great little place and we’d love to eat here again ❤️

I don't normally write reviews for restaurants but I had to say something because of how disappointing the experience was. The service and ambience were fine, the main issue is the food. Firstly, there was a long black hair in our iced latte. Secondly, The pasta was as bland as a ready meal. I'm not sure if there was a new chef working but there was barley any flavour in the Tagliatelle truffle portobello or polepettine della nonna that we ordered. I was shocked, the ragu felt like a cheap jar of sauce. The aranchino actually had flavour compared to the other to dishes but it was only ok, not worth £10 for a single aranchino. Thirdly, the pictures of the meatballs on there goodeats website are three/four times the size of what you actually receive in the polepettine dish. Again, this has made me curious if the ingredient and chef quality fluctuates as some reviews the meatballs do look that size. But from October 2024 they were the barley the width of a pound coin. Pasta being overcooked and bland at a 16+ per dish price point is pretty dire. I feel bad leaving criticism on a local business, but they need to make improvements to continue charging the prices they do. I am perfectly aware these dishes are not intended to have intense flavours, but subtly is no excuse. You couldn't even taste any pepper, onion, parmesan, parsley, basil etc - all i could taste was faint watery tomato for the polepettine or thin watery bechemel in the tagliatelle. For the price point this restaurant is not worth it.

Not happy at all went to go and grab a butty on my dinner, as I was being served by a lady she looked like she was full of a cold and well making my butty she touches her nose with the gloves on and didn't even change them afterwards and instead carried on making my butty I wasn't impressed not very hygienic

Went with a friend for a couple of drinks and nibbles.Rosanna looked after us and she was lovely,food was amazing and the entire staff was great.

Spent a wonderful evening here, getting in the mood for my upcoming Italian holiday. Food was delicious! The ambience is warm, rustic and welcoming. I’d definitely return here, the ragù was out of this world tasty!!

Very small but very busy restaurant which would benefit from having more than one server. My daughter & I went for the "Sicillian Street Food" selection, which was delicious and very reasonably priced. When we eventually got seated & given our menus, the server asked if we would like some water whilst perusing the menu. I replied "yes", thinking that it would be the usual jug of tap water. I was surprised when we were served bottled water, which was already open and cost £4! Whilst the food was very reasonably priced, they certainly make their profit on the drinks, which were extortionate. I would definitely go again but not have a drink.

Nice location and great service. Food was just right and tasted lovely. Definitely would return on our next visit to Manchester.

We had researched somewhere in Manchester that would be a lovely end to my daughters graduation after 3 hard years at university. On booking in advance we were able to have the main menu at a slightly discounted price that included a pre-paid service charge. On arrival at the restaurant we were met by a gentleman who appeared to be irritated that we ere booked. He just pointed to a table and told us to sit down. This was the start of one of the worst customer service experiences I have experienced. Throughout the evening staff were abrupt and did not smile at any point, despite our attempts to be friendly. Whilst the small nature of the restaurant could create a nice ambiance this is impacted by the fact that at many tables you are elbow to elbow with customers behind you, obviously the staff attitude also negates any 'cosy environment'. The food itself was very poor. It is possibly the blandest meal I have had. My starter was dry and tasteless. I then had the ragu. This could have been from a tin as it was very runny with minimal meat content and over reliant on the juice from the tomatoes. Dessert was no better than a Farm Foods frozen gateaux. My daughter and her friend did not finish any of the courses. As I did not want to upset anyone in our party I left my verbal feed back to the minimum, but when asked why I only felt the meal was fine, I did point out the customer service, which was greeted with a shrug. On leaving I was approached wit the offer of 10% off my next visit, which I declined advising that I would not be returning. I am aware of quite defensive responses to reviews of this establishment, and recognise I cannot do anything about that, but I hope that my feedback may change the future experience for others, either by Sicilian NQ making changes or informing future customers in advance. I was so disappointed for my daughter.

Perfect little place, fit for any occasion except large groups, as it is quite a small intimate setting. Feels and looks very authentic, staff are polite and friendly too. The food itself is fantastic, we didn’t try the desserts but those around us that did looked very pleased. Probably best to book in advance as only a small place and we did see several people being turned away. Want to impress on a first date or treat a loved one, then bring them here.

Booked here as had seen some articles recommending it. We arrived and were rudely pointed in the direction of our table without any welcome. The table was very small and crammed in. I was aware that the seating was high stools and that the restaurant was small but I wasn't able to eat my meal without knocking the person who was sitting behind me which is not acceptable. The service we received was awful. The staff were churlish and rude, any questions were answered abruptly, food was just pushed in front of you and we were generally made to feel as if we were an inconvenience. The food was bland and uninspiring - my Arancini was cold in the middle, the Ragu was completely tasteless and the Tiramisu dull. We pre-booked the meal and so had a deal on the three courses - had I paid the listed price for the food I would have regarded it as extremely overpriced. This was a meal for us as a family after my daughter's graduation and unfortunately it resulted in a bitter end to a special day. I have seen some of the responses from the restaurant to other bad reviews justifying people being crammed in as part of the ambiance and chalking the staffs attitude down to how busy they are. It costs nothing to smile and be civil to paying customers surely!

Limited range of dishes but all of them sound wonderful and all four of us enjoyed very tasty different meals. Highly recommended and easy to find on the NQ district of Manchester near to Shudehill station.

Recommended by my hotel when I asked for a friendly family-style restaurant and it certainly was. Sicilian dishes really do feature too.

Very friendly staff great choice

I’ve been meaning to visit Sicilian NQ for a while now, so as unfortunately I’m unable to dash back to Rome, where I used to live, eating their gnocchi whilst sitting at the bar with a delicious glass of Nero d'Avola was the next best thing. I also greatly appreciate Claudio and Carmen being so helpful and purchasing a ramp for wheelchair access when requested. The only disappointment was that they had run out of tiramisu, which I'd been really looking forward to, so I'll need to go back soon! Grazie mille!

...the First time l arrived from Sicilian NQ l felt in little corner of Sicily a land that I love deeply for having worked there for years,so l thought that I would find the same flavours here in Manchester that's how it is and every time I come here ...for me it's like being in Sicily... thanks to Claudio and Carmen for this fantastic idea to bring the true flavours of the Mediterranean...

A family run deli that has been going for years and years and that in itself deserves huge credit. It’s difficult to know where to start with this review so I’ll start with the sandwiches. The sandwiches are constructed straight in front of you with ultra fresh ingredients and a great choice of fillings. In my opinion the sandwiches are a thousand times better than any local deli and even M & S can’t compete in terms of freshness or flavours. The staff making the sandwiches do so excellently and are always polite and smiling. The muffins are always fresh, soft and spongy and at £2 for 6 of them, they are a bargain and much better value than those in the supermarkets. My guilty pleasure is the scones, especially the cherry ones, which are on a different level and again in my opinion you would not feel disappointed if you were served them in a prestigious high end restaurant. Overall, there’s a reason this business has been going for years and hopefully it will continue to flourish and attract a lot more visitors and repeat customers!

Myself & my family have been customers of Williams Stall inside Ashton-under-Lyne Market Hall for over 20 years and have always found their produce very nice, but today 26 February 2024, I purchased a Meat & Potato Pie £2.60 it was possibly the worst pie I have ever tasted, full of grizzle and very fatty, I had a couple of mouthfuls and the rest ended up in the bin, they used to be the best at what they do, put sadly on this occasion, it was awful... I sadly won't be using Williams again 😔 Thank you for reading my review.

Me and my girlfriend had the most amazing time here. The food was extremely tasty / fresh. The staff were friendly and patient with us. Especially the co owner + french waitress. We will definitely be going again

I have secretly reviewed this place for my YouTube and tic tok channel. The fat foodie mcr please feel free to check the video out and please like share and subscribe help your local honest food reviewer out

Sandwiches are on another level turkey and stuffing 👌And absolutely excellent value for money with a three pound meal deal Sandwich and a package of posh crisps and a cans drink for £3 yes £3 Staff are all so Excellent There's always a queue but they soon get to you they are on Job 10/10

When you think your paying £2.60 for an artisanal steak n' ale pie but there's hardly any meat and more pieces of gristle. Thinking you've been fiddled and could get more filling in a Greggs for 1/2 price. Apologies but I was really disappointed although the pastry was nice.

Derbyshire oatcakes! Only place I know of in Greater Manchester that stocks them. Good bacon and desserts. Always very busy. Worth queuing for.

Brilliant service and great food

Polite fast service from a great family run business. Provided sandwiches & pies for my fathers wake. The usual exacting standards perfect in every way . Varied variety everyone commented how good the food was. Thanks once again. Always recommend to family & friends.

My favourite stall in Ashton market. I've been going here all my life. Cooked meats, sandwiches, cheese, muffins and their wonderful pies. They also do buffet food, the best around.

Came today and got 2 sandwiches. The turkey is off. It stinks and tastes funny, so was a complete waste other sandwich was ham and cheese and the bread was mouldy. Absolutely disgusting!

They smothered and seasoned my food with poo and proceeded to rub it in my face but the cheese and onion pasty’s were soggy 🤤🤤 just how I want them

Poor service, booked a table and they pushed us away. Lady was extremely rude. Ruined our Valentines day.

Visited on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was really cold and the chairs are a choice of wooden hard chairs or high stools. We ordered a bottle of the house wine bit were told that they didn't have any meaning we had to pay an extra tenner for the BB ext option. Whilst the starter was tasty enough th we y we're expensive at 8.50 for an arancini. The mains were incredibly overpriced with 15 pounds for a vegetarian ravioli that was served on a starter sized plate. The mains all seemed quite samey..tomato based dishes unlike the last time I visited when they had some Sicilian pistachio specialities. I wouldn't go back due to lack of comfort and unreasonable prices for what you get.

I checked out Confidentials and saw that a £20 voucher gets you a £40 spend here.I chose the Mr Mount Etna and Mushroom Volcano: these are both Arancino (rice ball) mounds with beef and mushroom fillings respectively. It could be that I ordered dishes that were too similar, (nothing else on the street food menu really excited me) but eating these became something of a chore. The texture was stodgy, and the taste muted by the thick breadcrumb coatings. I was bored of the Mushroom Volcano almost halfway through it.Overall, it was a three-star experience for me- I’m not a fan of high seats and the drinks were not cheap- but since my friends rated it quite highly, it only seems fair to offer a four. I’d sooner visit other eateries before returning, though.

Super good food. Reasonably priced and extremely tasty. Lovely young guys serving and doing cocktails. Waitress miserable AF

Had Christmas dinner here because I wanted to eat out and not many places were open. What a great choice! I had cacio e pepe and for dessert I had panettone with pistacchio, both were MOUTH. WATERING!!!!

Lovely food, nice cosy atmosphere. Feels very authentic- lots of Italians visiting too so you know it’s good! Our waiter was lovely a really young guy with black hair and a black moustache- super friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend

Went here with my partner for our anniversary & it was perfect! Amazing service & lovely food with a very romantic ambience :))

Just ok. Looked everything more delicious on Instagram.Way overpriced for the quality, I mean if they were fresh and handmade I wouldn’t mind the price. A bit disappointed as I was really looking forward to it. If I go back it’ll just be to get some Crema Di pistacchio.

Went there for a work event. There was a large group of us, so basically filled this small restaurant. The cuisine is Sicilian and they have a few wine selections as well.The food was good. I had the Mr. Mt. Edna which was Arancino with slow cooked beef ragu.

Incredibly disappointed by my experience at Sicilian NQ. Our table was booked for 08:30... restaurant is incredibly small, nowhere for anybody to sit down whilst waiting for a table ( a couple of bar stools but otherwise you are waiting in the restaurant basically stood on top of people who are already eating with limited space with a large volume of other people who are waiting to be seated). After waiting we asked for the menu so that we could order a drink at least (if we hadn't have asked for the menu - I'm pretty sure the staff would've just ignored us)- it was 09:15 by the time we got our drinks. They attempted to put us on our table for 09:15.... the tables are incredibly small -a family of four cannot fit on these tables - they are terribly unorganised. They shouldn't be taking bookings for four people ... they only have one table in there which would comfortably sit 4 people. Due to the lack of space and lack of organisation we decided not to eat at the restaurant.The lady who worked at the restaurant (assuming she was front of house)- we found rude and unhelpful. The bar staff much nicer and far more apologetic. Limited food menu.

Came today the scones are the best I've ever had, will now be the only place I get them from. Also got x3 butties and each one was amazing, the staff was 10/10 will be coming here more often

We decided to try this place after walking past many times and it always looks busy, so we thought it was worth a try. Booked a table and was told as a table of two we were limited to a hour as it gets busy at weekend. When we arrived we waited about 10 mins before getting seated. I was a little taken aback at our seats, which were uncomfortable bar stools facing the wall. There were people waiting all down the middle of the bistro which meant you had people literally standing over you.However there was a good atmosphere and we decided to just go with the flow. Staff were busy and ot took a while for our order to be taken and then the food to arrive.The food was very tasty indeed, but the portions were quite small. For a dish that cost £14 it worked out a £2 per ravioli which is steep. The cake I had for dessert was £7 which again is expensive. The prices here are comparable to The Ivy which upon reflection is too expensive for what it is. My advice would be to sort out the booking process so that there aren't so many people stood waiting, some comfortable chairs and increase you portion sizes or drop the prices a little.

I never write these reviews but I thought this time it was worth it as I had the worst restaurant experience ever. As a starter, I have ordered mushroom aranchino and I can't complain about it as it was alright. However, I have ordered 'Montealbano ate your heart' which was supposed to be pasta filled in with ricotta cheese. I am vegetarian and this dish was marked as vegetarian so I felt safe to order it. However, once I tried it I realized that pasta was filled with FISH! This is completely unacceptable and luckily I don't eat fish because I am a vegetarian and not allergic to it which in other cases could kill people. I told the waiting staff about it and they confirmed that I was given fish filled pasta by a mistake and suggested to order same or different main. I was not comfortable ordering same main again in case there was fish again so I ordered 'Tagiatelle porcini'. Honestly, it was one of the worst pastas I had as it tasted like pasta with a couple of mushrooms tossed in tin spaghetti hoop sauce. The only good thing about this evening was aranchino and limoncello. I wouldn't come back here again and I would not recommend it to anyone who has dietary requirements or just likes nice pasta.

Domenica abbiamo deciso di fare una visita al vostro locale. Con noi c'era anche la figlia di pasticceri Palermitani e tutti noi siamo rimasti impressionati dai Sapori prelibati dei vostri dolci e dall'accoglienza del personale. In particolare ci ha colpito Filomena che ha sacrificato il suo day off per prendersi cura di noi. Torneremo per provare altre specialità! grazie ancora

We went for a date night out which we later regretted. The waitress was friendly enough but didn’t have a clue on cocktails. The girl behind the bar obviously didn’t either as all 4 cocktails that we ordered were absolutely disgusting. With most of them not having the right shots added. I don’t know whether they had ran out of certain spirits but the concoctions that were being made were not drinkable. We then decided to have a bottle of over priced wine. The food wasn’t much better. Dry pasta. That had obviously been kept warm under a heat lamp. My dish that I ordered was supposed to have beef ragu came out with a tomato ravioli! And tasted like I could of tan Dow to Aldi and whipped it up myself. Totally disappointing in all ways especially the £100+ bill. The mark up on food is ridiculous and the bar staff obviously need training because the drinks are horrific. It’s like going on I’m a celebrity! God knows what’s in there? Definitely need to avoid

I booked a table for our anniversary last Friday night. We arrived to be told they were full so instead of a table, we were asked to sit at the bar. When I asked for a table they just said “sorry we’re full”. We swiftly left as we were not going to spend our anniversary in this way.This was ridiculous. What’s the point in booking a table if you’re asked to sit at the bar on stools. We then spent the next 2 hours trying to find somewhere decent to eat on a Friday night. Very unhappy, will never return and will tell everyone else to do the same.

Saturday lunch was really tasty, the wine was lovely, staff were genuinely kind & calm no matter how busy they got. A bit pricy but totally worth it & would definitely go again & recommend to anyone looking for lovely food. I have nothing negative to say about my visit.

Nice enough food, no atmosphere whatsoever. It's really hyped up on social media so I was really looking forward to trying this place! Looks very aesthetic from outside with the wisteria. Cramped tables inside with no stand out decor or ambiance, the lady who seated us didn't have much "presence" and I had to look around gormlessly to get a menu sent our way! Food was nice, I had the pistachio pasta, it sounded more exotic than it really was. Pasta was a little cold, this was deceptively hidden by a warmer sauce over the top! My mum had a lot bigger portion of her beef ragu pasta. We had picked things off the menu online only to find out there were things no longer on the menu in actuality. We'd really wanted to try the pistachio cake, but on the menu it only listed chocolate cake and cake of the day, asking the customer to ask what the cake of the day was. We hoped it would be pistachio, but it was the very same chocolate cake that was listed with the desserts! - why have it written separately?! We chose the pistachio brioche only to be told there was no pistachio, would a different flavour of cream be okay? Yeah, fine, maybe take it off the menu? Really overhyped and quite expensive!

Amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere! This bijoux restaurant/bar is a must when in Manchester! We will most definitely be back

An absolute delight of a restaurant nestled within the northern quarter. Really friendly staff that are clearly passionate about the food and drink they serve. You can understand why as it’s so tasty and well priced. I would definitely come here again and again.

Stumbled on this restaurant whilst looking for somewhere new, authentic and unique….certainly wasn’t disappointed. The food, service and drinks were immense. Every bite was superb. Will certainly be going back soon.

Antipasto was brilliant. Said for x2. But was a great starter for x4Main meals were flavoursome. Quite a lot of vegetarian options. Although we all had either meat or fish Pudding lovely. Took home a doggy bag as too much foodWine was well pricedOnly thing was table was a bit small for x4 people. Great friendly service. All in all a great evening meal at. Tome when other places are struggling with service. This place wasn’t

Came for some gelato after having lunch at Mackie Mayor. It was great, had gelato on a brioche bun which was super tasty and my wife had a trio of cannoli which she loved. Drinks were good too! Would gladly return.

I visited yesterday evening with my wife & we were cheerdully greeted and led to our table. I had the Caponata Rusticana & the Trinacria. My wife had the Arrancino Al Burro & the Montealbano. The food was fantastic and the staff were attentive without being over-facing. I think you’d need to be dead inside not to be drawn to the warm, inviting allure of this hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back.

Wanted a quick bite before going out later...fab food and nice reasonably priced wines in a quirky setting Food freshly prepared and bellisimo portions!

Best sicilian food experience ever had in Uk! The caponata above all is really worth a try. Had also a good time thanks to the lovely people who work in there. We’ll be back soon!!!

This place had been on my radar for a while after seeing all the wonderful pictures of their food on Instagram. My partner and I stopped by for a couple of drinks and a light bite to eat. We ordered two different types of Arancini from the starter menu and were really disappointed to discover that they rather bland in in taste but also they were definitely not fresh and had clearly been reheated. For the price we paid we expected better quality. Unfortunately, we wouldn't visit again.

I'm not sure whether we came on an off day but the food was so so bland. The arancini tasted of nothing and the texture and how scalding hot it was made us think it had been microwaved. The mains didn't taste of anything either which was just strange really (we don't have covid!). The food is really quite pricey too, especially for the quality. This is also just personal preference but the tall stools are uncomfortable and proper chairs would make for a more pleasant dining experience. Not sure if we just came on a bad day because I see a lot of 5* reviews, but first impressions matter and we won't be back.

The service does not exist - it looked like the staff was scared to speak to customers.The food was so disappointing and definitely overpriced for the non-quality offered. There is nothing Italian here (not even the atmosphere!)and nothing is home made.We had arancini and were clearly reheated, soft and soggy. We had two different ones but both tasted the same… The pistacchio ravioli were absolutely tasteless, the swordfish were slightly better but not worth £14,50.The brioche tasted like the cheapest brioche you can get in a budget discount….I was so excited to try this place because it’s spammed everywhere, but honestly spend your money elsewhere.

Been here twice now. The first time the staff were rude and ignored us, the second time we were kicked off our table after only an hour, we moved to the bar area and asked for desserts - no one came to ask us for our order. The food is great but service needs work. Very disappointing.

I was excited to try this Bistro after seeing reviews and pictures of food on social media. Sadly I have to say that my partner and I were very underwhelmed by the whole experience. We both ordered Mr Volcano to start it arrived within minutes of us ordering and had clearly come straight from the microwave. The description of the volcano on the menu sounded mouthwatering! Sadly is wasn’t. There was nothing inside except rice! It was served quite blandly on a small amount of tomato sauce. Next we had the Swordfish ravioli. I literally ate 3 pieces. The pasta tasted like cardboard and I can’t be 100% it had ever seen a Swordfish! The parcels were hard and very flat with little filling and presentation was almost non-existent. For dessert my partner had the pistachio cake which he said he really enjoyed. I had the brioche bun that came with two blobs of ice-cream of my choice. Whilst the bun was edible it didn’t look anything like the pictures I had seen when it was served to me. The ice cream was really nice. We had two cocktails both of which were very good and priced reasonably for the city centre. Sadly there was no vibe, that could have been because it was the afternoon but the waitress didn’t help. Sadly she had no personality, didn’t engage with customers and just stood around at every opportunity. It did feel a little uncomfortable to be honest as I did catch her staring at us on a few occasions. Uncharacteristically for both myself and my partner, we didn’t leave a tip. The waitress just didn’t work for it. At one point we had no cutlery and had to ask. At no point did she come over and ask if everything was ok or did we need anything else. There was no condiments and we wasn’t even asked if we needed any.

Little Italian restaurant, central and at the same time off the beaten path! Very fresh and tasty food. Smallish plates though (so definitely recommend to think on getting the antipasti platter to share as entry, and the dessert too! (the ice cream was lovely!)

What a wonderful experience. Booked this for the end of a long day. Even though we were the last in the restaurant we didn’t feel rushed. The lady whom I assume runs it was really attentive and looked after us all night. The food was beautiful and I highly recommend the Arancini. Definitely will be returning.

Great service and a good choice on Menu. I had the gnocchi bolognaise which is an excellent Vegan choice for a meat eater !

I came here on Monday for lunch and was not disappointed. We had the meat and cheese platter which was huge and tasty more than enough for two. However the stand out dish was ‘her majesty cannolo’ this dessert is to die for! If you get to visit this place this is dessert is a must. Aperol spritz a plenty also! Will definitely be visiting here again if only for the cannoli!!

This was our first visit to Sicilian NQ and unfortunately I don't think we'll be going back. The food was expensive (£16.50 for some ravioli - I'd expect a nice piece of sea bass at that price) and it didn't taste worth it. The arancini we had as starters were re-heated but not very well, so they were still cold in the middle. I'd heard a lot of good things about this place so we were quite disappointed. Outside seating arrangements were three metal tables/chairs for two people, no heaters or umbrellas in case of rain (luckily the rain held off!). On arrival, we were told the previous diners were still there and asked if we could come back in 5 minutes which we did, not a problem. Towards the end of the meal, there were people waiting for our table so we felt pressure to leave (not from the waiter, just from people standing around). I understand that things are difficult at the moment so don't want to make things harder with a fully negative review. The service was good, and our waiter was very friendly. The wisteria decoration outside is cute too. Some improvements that would make us consider coming back would be:- adjusting the menu prices - thoroughly reheating the arancini- warming the plates so food doesn't go cold straight away- providing umbrellas / patio heating- extended dining time to avoid knock-on delays

We’ve been going to this place a lot but anytime we went the prices were higher and higher. 7£ for an arancino is a travesty, they are frozen and maybe shipped from Italy where they cost 1 euro. Even if they are not, making an arancino is easy and cheap. Please be more realistic with your prices.

The best sicilian food in Manchester,or maybe not...IN THE UK!! A little bite of Italy!! Excellent staff!! Very very good job,guys!!

Such a lovely little restaurant found in the Northern Quarter. The arancini’s were delicious, we had a pistachio and beef Ragu each. Mains we had pistachio and ricotta pasta and Beef Ragu gnocchi. We shall definitely be back again! Thank you!

Sono una studentessa italiana a Manchester. Ho scoperto questo locale per caso e me ne sono innamorata, sembra di mangiare in Italia! I sapori, gli odori, il menù.Consigliatissimo per tutti gli italiani che vogliono sentirsi a casa.Lo staff gentile e cordiale.Prezzi giusti, se consideriamo il costo dell’importazione.Da provare

Good Sicilian street food Big tasty portions with friendly attentive service in an intimate setting. Hope these guys are still open after lockdown as we hope to visit again soon.

Sono stato in questo ristorante dopo che ne ho sentito parlare molto bene. Il locale è molto accogliente e ben curato, lo staff è sorridente, competente e cortese ma quello che colpisce sicuramente è la qualità dei piatti tipici della Sicilia, in particolare consiglio di prendere gli arancini che sono davvero sublimi. Consiglitissimo!

Sono stato a cenare in questo splendido ristorante con la mia fidanzata.La location è molto accogliente, il menú ha un'ampia scelta di piatti italiani ed in particolar modo siciliani. Abbiamo mangiato un ottimo tagliere di salumi e formaggi, degli arancini e per dolce dei fantastici cannoli con la ricotta. Ottimi cocktail. Lo staff è molto gentile ed attento alle esigenze del cliente. Torneremo sicuramente!

Food was good, we had 2 starters, 2 mains, cocktails and a coffee. Came to £80 so reasonably priced. service was excellent, friendly waitress and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Excelente servicio de Lucy Frodsham y el gerente del bar, pero a la gerente le vendría bien un poco de capacitación en servicio al cliente, ya que fue francamente grosera y desagradable. Hacía frío porque la puerta estaba abierta y entraba humo de la gente que fumaba fuera, demasiado cerca de la puerta. Había varias cosas agotadas en el menú, incluida lasaña, y lo que estaba disponible era extremadamente caro en mi opinión y realmente no me importa pagar. El helado supuestamente traído de Sicilia es decepcionante y caro a 4. 50 por una corneta de mano.En general, la mejor parte fue el Espresso Martini, pero es un restaurante y no solo un bar, pero creo que las bebidas son todo lo que recomendaría.

Muy caro para la calidad de la comida. Actitud anticuada, condescendiente y pretenciosa hacia la "buena comida" que no tiene lugar en NQ, mejor en los campos giratorios.Tratados con apatía por el personal como si no perteneciéramos allí, patético.En general, ¿recomendaría comprar unos ñoquis y una buena botella de vino de Lidl?

Después de haber viajado mucho por Sicilia, estaba emocionado de comer aquí. En primer lugar, es un lugar encantador y el personal es atento y amable. Pedimos un arancino para compartir. El arancino era agradable al igual que la salsa de tomate que venía con, pero a las 7 creo que era demasiado pequeño y demasiado caro. Ambos tuvimos ñoquis para platos principales, el mío con pesto y maridos con boloñesa. El ñoquis era horrible, definitivamente no era casero, sabía como un paquete de supermercado. La camarera confirmó que no era casero. El pesto era muy fuerte y salado, demasiado en lugar de correr por el plato, era abrumador. En general, uno de los peores platos que he tenido. La salsa boloñesa de Hubbies era agradable, rica y sabrosa, pero los ñoquis lo estropearon. Los ñoquis son tan simples de hacer, ¿por qué un restaurante siciliano no haría los suyos? La presentación era pobre, las porciones eran pequeñas y los precios altos. La camarera eliminó mi plato de la cuenta, pero no volvería aunque fuera gratis.

Sono stata a cena con la mia ragazza, piatti divini e prezzi contenuti. Ottimo e cordiale il servizio. Da provare assolutamente se siete nei paraggi.

Il Sicilian NQ rappresenta un punto di riferimento a Manchester per gustare del buon cibo siciliano. Ottime le panelle e le diverse tipologie di arancini. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e i cocktail di Miro favolosi. Inoltre il personale è disponibile e cortese, Lucy e Rosa davvero molto simpatiche.

È un gran piacere poter gustare la cucina vera siciliana a Manchester. Cenare o pranzare in questo ristorante è un piacere per il palato. Cibo eccezionale,personale molto gentile e disponibile, servizio veloce. Lo consiglio caldamente.Lasagne fenomenale !!

Aunque solo he probado la sección de postres en este lugar, volvería cada vez, ¡incluso si es solo por el helado! El de pistacho es definitivamente mi favorito. Además, siendo español, me encanta el hecho de que tengan cerveza Alhambra, una sorpresa tan agradable.Sin embargo, hacía demasiado calor adentro ya que no parecía que hubiera un ventilador o aire acondicionado, y algunos de los alimentos que encontré eran demasiado caros.

It's an Italian corner in Manchester. The staff is really friendly and also the food is very good. Nice experience!

è stato come assaggiare i reali sapori di casa mia e della mia terra. Lucy e Miro sono cordiali e molto preparati, soprattutto educati. Consigliatissimo.

Hard to find but worth the search! The staff are very friendly and add to the relaxed authentic atmosphere. The food is nice, especially the small street food dishes. The drinks are a little pricey but it shouldn't put anyone off. People who like Italian cuisine but want something a little different this place is a must.Thanks for a lovely evening we hope to come again!

An ice-cream £6.5 and it was very watery, the ice melted in, not stored well. food is mainly already made, not fresh

The food was very underwhelming, the pesto gnocchi was very much like the rubbish pesto you get in a jar. It was very basic and overpriced including the Black Forest slice of cake which was very dry for £7. The side salad didn’t come with any dressing and they don’t have olive oil and vinegar on your table for you to use if you’d like. I wouldn’t recommend here, especially if you love your Italian food. Plenty of others for better value and quality in Manchester.

I booked here well in advance and my booking was moved forward by a day, I was offered free drinks to compensate for this (which I didn't receive).I didn't mind waiting for a table as I could see it was busy. We were seated at a table with an empty bottle of hand sanitizer.The waitress took our order and forgot our order by the time she got to the till which was about 2m away. We ordered our starter and then were offered a dessert menu once we'd had a starter... we then got both our mains at different times. The gnocchi was underwhelming and looked nothing like the Instagram photos. I've made better Italian food at home. Our plated were taken away without anyone asking how the food was. We decided to just pay and leave at this point as I was quite disappointed with the service and the food...

Just come back from this amazing little restaurant, and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The waitress was amazing, giving recommendations and was very thoughtful. The eat out help out scheme is fantastic and I felt very safe whilst eating there. The food was just AMAZING

If you like Italian food but are a bit fed up of pizza then try here. excellent cocktails , good wines and the food was fantastic.

Visited here with a friend last week, post lockdown. The food was amazing- the Arancini are delicious (we got 2 and shared) and the potato cake main was really good. The menu isn’t huge, which I actually liked. We both loved it and thought it was great value for money. The gelato is a must for a dessert and although we didn’t drink, the cocktails looked great!

Had the best evening at Sicilian, thanks so much to all the staff who made us feel safe & welcome. The food was amazing (we ordered too much as we couldnt decide!). Would recommend the pistachio arrancini. Cocktails were great too. Staff couldn’t have done enough for us. Will definitely be back! Only downside was we wanted to tip the staff but they couldn’t accept tip via card and we didn’t have any cash on us as most places won’t accept it at the moment due to COVID.

My partner and I had a reservation for Saturday Evening which he had pre booked prior to the evening. On arriving to the venue, we were told that our table had been given away as the manager had called to confirm the booking but we hadn’t answered. My partner explained that a) his phone had been out of use unfortunately that week b) the initial booking did not state that we had to confirm any further or to make a deposit as she was advising. This was the first weekend out of lockdown and we were then expected to stand out in the rain on the street to find a further reservation. The manager was not understanding at all and didn’t care less that she had inconvenienced us.

Visited here for our first outing post lockdown and were not disappointed. The Arancini is to die for - going to have to come back and try all of them, the cocktails are lovely and the staff are all so lovely. Such a nice atmosphere. Really recommend

Visité por primera vez para almorzar el sábado con mi novio, mamá y padrastro.Había visitado su antiguo lugar, el Williams Sandwich Bar en la calle Hilton, y aunque la comida era deliciosa, no lo visitaba con frecuencia porque el lugar no era tan atractivo para sentarse. Genial tener un lugar encantador ahora que coincida con el comida, sin duda volveremos!Todos teníamos un arancino para comenzar, y teníamos una mezcla de platos para platos principales, todos muy bien presentados y deliciosos; acompañado de cerveza dorada.Gran servicio: amable e informativo, se nota que les apasiona lo que hacen. Precios razonables y tamaños de porción.

He visitado varias veces y me he quejado de los sándwiches varias veces porque han recibido los pedidos incorrectamente. ¡Necesito hacer un desayuno tradicional y rollos de tocino para los constructores a la vuelta de la esquina! !¡Desayuno y una bebida por unos cuantos libras y lo estarás ganando! (Esto es de los constructores que trabajan a la vuelta de la esquina)

Come here for lunch often, food is always fantastic, not expensive, always greeted with a smile. Great Italian food with wonderful service, would absolutely recommend this place! Their Arancini is a must try!

I have visited a few times for breakfast and it’s always amazing,food, staff especially felo. Love it

Visité durante el almuerzo. Se suponía que tenía otro tipo de pasta, pero no tenían los ingredientes. Por lo tanto, pedí el spaghetti carbonara. Solo una persona en la cocina. Cuando se sirvió el espagueti, parecía muy espeso y nada apetitoso. Se parecía más a una sopa. La persona que lo cocinó decidió cuánto queso y pimienta ponerle. Primera vez no puedo terminar un spaghetti carbonara. La persona que me visitó estuvo de acuerdo en que no era nada agradable. Fui a este lugar basándome en otras críticas pero mi experiencia no fue buena. No volvería
