About Giorgio Ristorante

Located at the crossroads of Oxford Street and Portland Street, Giorgio Ristorante is within easy walking distance of the Palace Theatre, the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester Central and Manchester Opera House. Established in 1978 is it one of the oldest and most highly regarded Italian restaurants in Manchester. Giorgio’s pasta is cooked fresh every day and their pizzas are baked in the traditional Neapolitan way. Their chefs have also created beef fillet steak, veal, poultry and fish specialities.

About Amore Cucina and Bar

Amore Cucina serves contemporary Italian food in an airy, elegant restaurant space.

Situated north of Manchester city centre in Whitefield, this is the ideal spot for dining that balances chic with relaxed. The restaurant showcases chef Jacques Hilton’s take on classic Italian dishes, both via the main menus and the ‘Venetian tapas’ (cicchetti) menu.

While dining, you can enjoy the view from the curved floor-to-ceiling windows or watch waiters shake cocktails in the central bar.

About Insolito

Insolito serves traditional Sicilian and Italian food in central Manchester. The restaurant is the brainchild of two Italian students who teamed up with a veteran chef to bring the taste of home to the city. The chic, minimalist, monochrome interior has the feel of a stylish bistro, with abstract art on the walls and exposed bulbs hanging from the ceiling. This would make the ideal destination for a lunch stop while shopping, a night of casual dining with friends or a relaxed date.
