[Closed] Good Italian restaurant - south Manchester?

would ninos in rawtenstall be too far?

Yes - thanks though

Great Italian. Hardly south Manchester but well worth the trip.

Dolce Vita opposite the cinema in Marple, is nice James. So not too far.

There is is new one opening in Compstall next week!

Hi Jane - took the kids to DV last week - not that impressed sorry - food was OK but service not and they put us upstairs which looks quite low-rent compared to downstairs

Will check out Compstall!

I appreciate this is vague, but there's a one on the main drag through Stockport which is a fantastic little family-run affair (or was when I went a few years back).

Googling, it may be Al Fresco I'm thinking of.

There's also Benvenuti on the same road.

would ninos in rawtenstall be too far?

Nino's do the best take-away pizza for miles around, but wouldn't have leapt to mind as a restaurant.

Thanks - Bienvenuti is nothing special

Have you tried Romulus in Bramhall? We've been a couple of times and its been good.

Keep meaning to try the two in Poynton, but never got round to it!

Contis in Disley?

Thanks - Conti in Disley used to be good but has gone off in recent years - will look up the others

Simple, good Italian food

Al fresco in Stockport is good. Don't go on Saturday night.. It's party night then......!!

Il pomeidoro in poynton has been there as long as I can remember so it must be doing something right

Can second Romulus in bramhall. Bit cosy but good food.

Contis in Disley used to be very good. Not been for a while though...

Whats the one on the main road upto Altrincham?

Opposite side to Sale M&S, quite small and bare in the parade of shops.

Well its good food 🙂

Contis is ok, nothing special, but they do let kids make their own pizza, and if you eat early enough you get a free kids meal with each adult meal

and it's shite.

Aaah! Didn't know that, fair do's.

Mimis in Sale (opposite town hall) has great food. Only bad point was paying £2.50 per glass of coke for the kids, which was tipped out of a two litre bottle! Otherwise excellent.

James, have you tried Avanti in Heaton Moor Top, I've had some nice meals there, and haven't heard anone say they haven't liked it.

i wouldn't bother with Valentinos a few doors down.

I've also had fantastic seafood linguini in Donatello's on the A6 in Heaton Chapel, and it has a light, airy feel in the there which I really like.

I know its too far away but I have fond memories of D'Aldo's in Soho London. Handwritten menu's and very very old school 😀

There's a new-ish place called Coco's on Regent Road, Altrincham. Went with Mrs Hooter last weekend and thought it was very good. The Thai place opposite is also excellent.

Benvenuti's been there even longer. I honestly can't remember a time when it didn't exist...

and the Nobin...

Benvenuti isn't to good these days. Not sure it ever was but it did seem to tolerate big groups 😉

Nob in 😯

Gusto in Didsbury is excellent, been many times.

Mauro's in Mottram is pretty good. More south of Manchester than south Manchester though. Although no further than Poynton and the like.
