I visited this restaurant on Sunday, 21st December 2025, and had pre ordered the £44 dinner menu. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. For the starter, I chose the calamari. It had no flavour at all. Any fast food restaurant could do better. For the main course, I selected the grilled salmon, which was equally tasteless. It seemed to be cooked and served without any seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. The dessert was tiramisu, which was overly sweet with no coffee flavour. It tasted more like cream than cheese, and the cheap chocolate sauce on top reminded me of the kind used on ice cream vans. Even supermarket tiramisu is far better. Throughout the evening, we were served by three members of staff. One woman, one young man with curly hair who is on his second shift, and one tall man who I was told has worked there for over a year. The young man with curly hair was way much better than the tall man. Unfortunately, the tall man had a very poor attitude and seemed unwilling to serve us. He did not even realise we needed forks to eat. When placing dishes on the table, he did so loudly and carelessly, which felt rude. After informing the staff that we were ready for dessert, we were left waiting for over half an hour as they appeared to completely forget about us. I believe this restaurant urgently needs to retrain this member of staff. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant. Save your money and dine elsewhere.

The lobster ravioli had a tomato flavour that slightly diluted the lobster broth, but overall it was still good. The pizza was fine but not particularly memorable. For dessert, the tiramisu and lemon sorbet were just okay — the tiramisu had too much mascarpone for my taste, and I would have preferred the lemon sorbet to be fresher and more tangy, as it wasn’t particularly remarkable.

My friend and I went to Don Marco restaurant and it was absolutely perfect. We had a 7 p.m. reservation and were seated in time. Our server, Eric was exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and had a genuine smile that made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable. I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu. Definitely a new favorite spot!

We love Italian food very much, and this is one of our favourite in Manchester. Starters are more attractive then mains, haha. Remember to book in advance because they are always full.

Golden little place that looks stunning. Some great dishes served. We were nightmare guests walking in and asking for a table after 10pm on a week day (due to travelling) and the team working looked after us really well!

We had an absolutely lovely meal here last weekend and were blown away by the quality of the food, service and the atmosphere. The first thing I loved was that part of the restaurant was outside in an arcade, with heated lamps. It gave our meal a really cool vibe and I enjoyed the open air feel that there was. The service, from start to finish, was wonderful and I was so impressed with how much time and attention went into our whole experience. Lastly, the food was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were great and I had asked for a recommendation for a pasta, where our server mentioned the chili and seafood pasta and it really was amazing. The desserts and wine were just as good too! I would definitely recommend a visit here as it's some of the best Italian food I've had since Italy!

Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is actually at a passage with couple of other restaurants which creates a lovely and lively atmosphere. The service is very friendly. The food comes fairly quick. The food is average I have to say but the portions are more than enough. We had a pleasent experience.
