The 30 Best Italian street food near me in Manchester

“This ethopian dish called Injera was so delicious. This is the best food in the Arndale market. Reasonable prices and the ladies who own are so sweet and kind; you can tell they cook with their hearts.”

“Amazing, delicious pizzas! I won't order from anywhere else. Always delivered on time and steaming hot! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for pizza (we haven't tried anything else off the menu). Definitely best in the area!”

“Absolute top-notch pizza. Having just moved to the area, we discovered this little magic kitchen down the road. The world is truly a small place! This genius of a pizza maker belongs in the best pizzerias of Naples! We are so lucky to have him here. Thin crispy dough, non oily cheese, great tomato sauce. Fantastic Keep at it Harry! 10/10”

“If you’re a pasta lover and need an event catered - CHOOSE TIGELLAE! They are amazing!! Laura was so easy to contact and made us feel so calm and confident in our choices leading up to our wedding, and they did not disappoint! The food was incredible- pasta alla Norma and wild boar ragu, followed by a monster dessert buffet. Everyone loved it. Everyone was full. My partners aunt who “doesn’t like pasta” ate two heaped bowls. Thank you for everything xxxx”

“Visited today, absolutely outstanding food. I had the chicken wrap which was so fresh and full of flavour, my husband had the lamb and beef wrap with extra spicy sauce and again it was full of flavour. We will definitely be returning - beat kebab wraps we have had ❤️”

“We visited Rudy’s Pizza on Saturday evening around 9:00 PM, about an hour before closing, and were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly everything went. Despite the place being busy, we were seated immediately without any wait, and the staff had no issue accommodating the three of us. Since it was getting late, we decided to place our full order right away. The food arrived impressively fast. Our server, Laura, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and cheerful throughout, even when we asked a few silly questions. She made us feel genuinely welcome. We kept it simple with a Margherita, a veggie pizza, and garlic bread. The garlic bread was out of this world—definitely a highlight. My wife and I shared the pizza, and there was still enough left to take home. To top it all off, when the bill arrived, we noticed they hadn’t charged us for our drinks, and they even gave our little girl a complimentary brownie. We were told the drinks were on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and a big shoutout to Laura for making our evening so memorable.”

“Stunning food, excellent atmosphere and absolutely amazing service from really friendly staff, could not recommend enough”

“We tried A Star pizza this evening and it was great. You can tell they only use great quality ingredients, definitely the best pizza and the only place well be going from now on. Good price as well. The guys are so lovely too and made a fuss of my little boy. There's also the option to eat in if you want. Thank you!”

“Great food, staff were friendly and attentive. Will go again”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“I asked Ali if he could cater for a family gathering I was having at home. I could not have been happier with the wonderful food that was made for us. Every single item was delicious. The lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken was delicious as was the gravy made from scratch! Loved the sides. Tiramisu and rice pudding were the perfect two desserts to keep everyone happy! Thank you Ali and the team - I wouldn’t think twice about going for this again.”

“The perfect match was a new place, recommended by our friends and it was a very pleasant surprise! The food was top notch, the wine pairings complimented the dishes impeccably, the service was perfect and the overall experience certainly worth the price. We chose the a la carte menu but we will be going back for the taster menu very soon. 2 starters, 2 mains with 2 side dishes, along with 2 desserts with their desert wine pairings went for around £70 pp which for the experience and quality was beyond worth it.”

“Everyone here is treated amazingly by the staff they go above and beyond. Our first time here & the food was absolutely incredible. Everything is homemade and delicious! My new favourite place for sure.”

“What a gem of a place. This is one of the most authentic and pleasent Italian places I had the pleasure to eat at in a very long time. Let's say that if I lived in theare me and my girlfriend would most definitely weight a few more stones/Kgs. As well as the food it is cosy, attentive stuff, quick enough service (to not make you think they want you out of the door) definitely a must try.... Book of you can as space is limited.”

“Honestly the best authentic Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to! A family run business bringing in flavours from home! Starters and mains were exquisite, the flavours were perfect. Everything was perfectly cooked. Definitely will be visiting again! Restaurant was clean, bathroom was clean, cutlery was clean! Wheelchair friendly. The owner of the restaurant Giovanni was absolutely wonderful! Lovely host! Very welcoming! Ciao”

“Went for the first time last night to celebrate our friend's golden wedding anniversary. The quality of food and the service were second to none. A great all-round experience, many thanks to the staff for making our night special. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the area..”

“We loved Pots & Pans pizzas when they first opened in lockdown and was sorry to see it close, so when we saw that it had reopened we couldn’t wait to try it but was a bit worried that it might not be the same as we remembered. Well we needn’t have worried as it was every bit as good as we remembered. We will most definitely be back.”

“This place is a proper hidden gem. The pizza is the best around. Proper stonebaked pizza, tastes amazing. The burgers are really good too. Just a small restaurant so it has a nice atmosphere and the friendly staff make it even better. Would definitely recommend!”

“The food was really nice, everything tasted really good quality! Definitely a great hidden gem Only feedback would be to offer a thin base pizza and a few other pizza options but otherwise 10/10”

“Absolutely fantastic place, probably the best Italian restaurant I have been to. Been a few times now and never disappointed. Very attentive staff, gorgeous food and a really lovely environment to be in. It's relatively small so booking ahead is recommended and definitely worth it.”

“Seating is available upstairs and downstairs . Welcoming atmosphere . Good selection of Mediterranean based food , which was so good ! And beautifully presented . The waiters are brilliant , attentive, and knowledgeable with what the restaurant has to offer, we couldn't fault anything , we will definitely be going back 10/10”

“Amazing! We went last week and could not fault it. My only regret is not going sooner. The prawns and Carbonara were incredible - highly highly recommend! Very reasonably priced as well :)”

“Having a large choice of Indian food in Cheadle village it could be difficult to choose which restaurant you would go to. Not anymore.....The food at Veeda was spectacular serving one of the best curries we've ever eaten. The food was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was impeccable and nothing was too much. We usually would go to another local Indian restaurant but we now have a new go too.”

“Love it here, food is great, comes quick, always busy but always has a spot got you to sit at. It’s the nicest food ever! 10/10”

“We had gone for a beautiful walk in this village and came across this beautiful restaurant. Unknowingly we went there without booking a table but the hospitality was amazing. The food was top notch with amazing presentation. Loved the food especially the lamb chops and jerk chicken. Recommend this place.”

“Good service, delicious hearty food at reasonable price. There are also parking spaces for restaurant clients at the back of the building. Would come back for more”

“Visited Cocos last night with my husband. All I can say is fantastic from start to finish. Atmosphere was lovely, staff were amazing who couldn’t do more for us. The chef greeted us which was a lovely personal experience. And the food delicious. Will definitely be going back again. You’ll need to book though.”

“What a fantastic meal we had, staff very attentive and looked after us really well. Menu had lots of choices, atmosphere brilliant infact the restaurant was packed with diners so you know it's a good place to eat. Will definitely book again and very soon.”

“Genuinely the best pizza you’ll ever have, every time I’ve come it has always been fresh. Not a single bad thing to say 10/10”
