   Had the nicest dinner here, best thing it was plant based. Everything on the menu is plant based so no concerns. Would highly recommend eating here.

   I found this place when I was looking for different vegan restaurants on Google. I’d never heard of it before but looked at the reviews and pictures and knew it was somewhere I needed to try! It’s hard to find really good vegan Italian food in the uk, and after visiting Italy a few times and trying some of the food they had to offer, I had high hopes. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Each course was so tasty. The fresh focaccia bread was phenomenal. The lasagna was cheesy, but didn’t have that horrible vegan cheese taste you can sometimes get! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the ragu was just right. You can tell they use Italian tomatoes. And then for dessert was an affogato. Again, amazing! The gelato was creamy and sweet and paired with the espresso was a perfect end to the meal! The woman in the restaurant who took our order was lovely. So friendly and welcoming! This place is a hidden gem of the vegan scene in Manchester but an amazing restaurant overall for vegans and non vegans alike. It is quite pricey buttt for the quality and service, I would 100% pay those prices again and again. I definitely will be returning to try more items on the menu. :) Thank you!

   We came here with our vegan friend who was visiting Manchester. Rest of us aren’t even vegan and thought the food was absolutely amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely too. When we asked about the dish, they were happy to answer our questions. Even help us to pick out some products to take home. I can’t stop thinking about how good their food was. I can’t wait to go back!

   You *need* to visit Ortica! Their food is absolutely sublime; incredible authentic Italian food and an entirely plant-based menu! A vegan tiramisu!!!! This restaurant is also ideal for anyone who isn’t vegan. The food is delicious, with bold flavours and dishes that meat eaters will be familiar with! I promise you that you will not be disappointed. To top it all off, the staff are so lovely. They are passionate about their business and knowledgeable about Italian cuisine. We were able to buy an additional tiramisu to take home with us, and they packaged up our leftovers too. They also sell Italian pastas, sauces and drinks to take home, at very reasonable prices. Please, don’t sleep on it. Book Ortica for your next meal out, it’s the perfect spot for a romantic meal, a family get together, or a solo treat! Just perfect, 10/10 Note: there’s very little parking available outside due to it being a main road so we parked in the nearby Sainsburys covered parking which is free for 2 hours for customers - so just pop in and buy something before you leave. It’s an easy, well-lit walk from the car park round to the restaurant.

   The food and service were fantastic. Such a friendly feel. The parmigiana was so tasty, would highly recommend and the amaretto mulled wine was so great and felt so christmasy. Excited to try the panettone I bought.

   Great little plant based Italian cafe bar. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff were warm, helpful and friendly, the decor was stylish and inviting. We will definitely be back in the evening to try the pizzas!
