Decor & Ambience

Without doubt, Rio Ferdinand's restaurant is one of the most impressive dining arenas in Manchester; looking stunning in all white after its January 2017 facelift. The restaurant is always busy with a great atmosphere - so book ahead.

Price

Despite being pricey, those on a tight budget can still eat three courses for less than £25 (Bruschetta + Pizza Margherita + Dessert). There's a great seafood menu and look out for their great lunch offers on Restaurants Of Manchester and, with over thirty wines by the glass, including rarer bins in the Coravin, you can still drink on a budget.

Service

The Canadian manager, Sasha Svatek, is certainly on the ball, whilst our Greek waitress, Helena, was one of the best waitresses we've encountered in Manchester; friendly, knowledgeable, informative and attentive to all her tables. She was well supported by her equally pleasant colleagues.

Food & Drink

The dishes are certainly tasty with a varied choice of antipasti, pasta, pizza, and grills, alongside traditional Italian fish and meat dishes. Using quality ingredients, the prawns, scallops and meat cuts are amongst the most succulent in town, whilst the desserts are arguably the highlight of the meal.

The wine list is incredibly impressive, taking in all the regions of Italy, whilst you should arrive early to check out the fantastic premium cocktails at the bar, behind which, you'll also find a great selection of rare spirits.

Overall 73%

One of the best, most elegant and busiest restaurants in Manchester, for sure.
