Rustic ambiance in Manchester

“Honestly where do I start the food is so nice always warm and fresh and the lovely staff give you free cheesy garlic bread if you spend to much which is so kind so I highly recommend you try here because the staff are really nice as well”

“Been to a few gatherings there such as a christening,wedding reception and a funeral. Brilliant place and all the staff are very friendly. Fully recommend this place for either a family gathering or if you’re out around tyldesley then nip in for a drink.”

“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”

“Great vibe, great value & great food!.....everything we had was very tasty. Oh and great service (with a smile!) by Millie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Popped in for food and it was AMAZING!! I think new owners have taken it over about a year ago? I'm not too sure, but the menu is fabulous and everything that got brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Invited by friends last night what can I say everything was fantastic food service and Wainwright's beer fully recommend Thanks for a great experience”

“I love this place. Great staff and a great selection on bottle beers as well.”

“We have been here twice now for our work Christmas meal as well as various times throughout the year and we have always found the venue to be very friendly and welcoming. The menu is ideal for me. Thank you so much for making our Christmas meal a lovely event.”

“Excellent food would definitely come back!”

“Lovely little hidden gem of a cafe. Really tasty food & drinks, a great atmosphere. I've lived in Mossley all my life and only found out about the existence of this place recently, but I'm definitely glad I did. Went back today (my third visit) to find a new menu. Food still of a very good quality, but I preferred the breakfast sandwich that was on the old menu. The crispy potato skins were a strange addition. I'm all for not throwing away food, but they weren't something I'd try again.”

“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 :)”

“My wife and I visit Scona every Sunday morning for a treat whilst our kids are at a local yoga class. The scones are AMAZING, obviously, but so are the breakfasts and drinks. Excellent service, too. Roll on Sunday! :)”

“Local couple following their dream. It’s a cafe but I haven’t visited during the day. As a bar they have Neck Oil and Cruzcampo on draught. Wine and spirits available. Gets busy and buzzy Friday and Saturday. Would be great if they do snacks eg meat platters, cheese, olives etc in summer. I wish you every success.”

“Lovely little café - tasty food and great seleyof cakes and pastries. Must see if you're in Bolton”

“Amazing food, great service and unusual idea, all you can eat steak with the system of controlling when you wish to be served again by flipping the card from green to red. We visited last night for the first time and left really full and impressed. This is definitely not our last visit,the next time will probably come for bottomless service so drinks could flow as well. It's not cheap but it is worth the money. Everyone from the staff was very friendly and welcoming, the whole experience was just unforgettable including the deco and music. Thank you for having us and making our anniversary so special. See you again soon!”

“That sounds like a lovely review! Here’s a slightly polished version you could post online if you’d like it to sound a bit more refined while keeping your genuine tone: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love this place — I’ve been here four times now, and every visit has been fantastic. The food, staff, and atmosphere are always amazing. You’re made to feel so welcome, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Can’t wait to go back again very soon!”

“WOW! What a nice place with exquisite cuisine! First of all, the staff are so friendly and always accommodate my children by letting them make their own pizzas which is beyond lovely! And the pizza? Delicious EVERY time! Try the 4 salami - it is top notch. Meatballs are lush. Pasta also. Simply FAB.”

“Absolutely LOVED the experience. The food, the sourdough, and the coffee were excellent. The egg Benedict was exceptional. They offer vegan options, and the menu was inclusive. The service was so nice, and I would highly recommend it.”

“food - great and super tasteful and well cooked. we ordered some appetisers, the mixed grill and the mixed seafood grill/plate. it was realy good and we filled ourselves too much for dessert. that saffron rice was so good. service - good but can be sorta slow? the food came pretty quick and we didnt have to wait too long. drinks arrived after appetisers which was a little strange but oh wells. no complaints about the staff tho. atmosphere - really nice and pretty. they have a sort of balcony seating which is decorated beautifully. however there was a big group so the place was a little noisy but no fault of the restaurant. overall, really great place and food was amazing. will return again”

“A true gem of a place. The staff are bloody lovely, knowledgeable and great at recommending dishes or drinks to compliment the food. It's a really relaxed place, the music is great and the food delicious. On the few times I've visited recently its felt cosy, welcoming and homely. I would highly recommend.”

“Our waitress was superb, fun, friendly and helpful. It is good staff that help make for an enjoyable meal. The food was fine too!”

“I've not tried next door cafe but I will soon. Meeting spot for friends to get breakfast food always just what you ask for nicely presented too”

“HIDDEN GEM !..WoW gorgeous hearty delicious food. We ordered 2 x Full English with 2 Teas and the quality of the food and meats was great. If you are visiting the Antique Market, please pop in visit the ladies and the food is amazing.”

“Lovely staff. Authentic food. Value for money. Would 100% recommend.”

“Been in a couple of times, staff always friendly and helpful, seating outside and a couple of rooms inside that are dog friendly. A great selection of beers also helps! Thanks!”

“We went for lunch with friends and it went so well with great food very good drinks from the bar and very quick and cheerful service. Every good reason to go back. Thank you from Mike & Linda.”

“The best pub we have been in for a long while. We received a really warm welcome. The landlord was extremely friendly, and a great laugh. We had good fun reminiscing with him as he knew Where we had lived previously. The food was excellent and we will definitely return . Thank so much for a lovely afternoon. Caroline & Wayne”

“Myself and friends had a marvellous few hours in the beer garden yesterday ~ the food was delicious and the beer was great. Would also like to mention how lovely the staff are, particularly lovely George”

“This place is amazing. Visited for the first time yesterday and will certainly be back. The food was great, felt really authentic and was clearly freshly made. It is also so reasonably priced for what you get I was met warmly when I went to collect our order and whilst I didnt get to chat the service was genuine and the people were lovely I don't know what goes into the gravy with the chicken split but I would happily have it everyday My photos do not do this place justice as I was too eager to start eating!”

“We eat here regularly and there's a reason why. The food and service is fantastic. Proper Italian food, prepared by an experienced Chef. Little Gem of a place.”
