They take food allergies very seriously and ensured that I knew was well informed of any potential allergens involved in their cooking processes. The pizzas were absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Salsiccia and I ordered the Triple Pepperoni. The pizza's are big enough for two people to share, even though we each got our own. Our toddler came with us; however, they don't have a dedicated children's menu, and she really only likes plain cheese pizza from the U.S. So she only ate the one of the orders of salted crisps. But I was happy that they at least offer high chairs, which was much needed, especially since we sat outside which only has picnic table seatingl Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!

Walking on Oxford street and not finding anything until I spot a little place in the corner of my eye. Seemed inviting at a distance therefore took it upon myself to give it a fair look. The closer I was getting, the more it was telling me to walk in. Standing in front of the main entrance, drenched and wet, I decide to walk in the place. First thing, the person at the reception tells me "What happened?" What he really meant to say was, "you're soaking wet". I instantly felt the warmth of the place and got emerged in the Italian family spirit of the place. Sat down at a table and the rest was history. I believe that it's a family owned business with true speaking Italian people. The food was typically Italian, good, plenty of flavors, all of what I enjoy of an Italian restaurant. The rest of the evening was history. A must place to go. Good as a single or family supper.

The…read morenight we visited here it was packed with happy diners which is quite understandable - the restaurant is lovely and the staff and atmosphere are quite welcoming. Tip: Despite the fact that the venue was fairly loud and noisy due to all the people present, the atmosphere was quite calm and relaxed. The staff didn't rush us and we enjoyed a fabulous, leisurely three-hour meal :-) Giovanni (who I think is the owner) went out of his way to make everyone there feel totally at ease and welcome; his aim seems to be to provide each and every guest with exceptional service, and he succeeds admirably! The general quality of the food was wonderful; all the ingredients were premium, and obviously chosen and prepared with loving care. Of everything we enjoyed that night, three things stand out most vividly in my mind - the sharing platter we started with, the house-made pasta dishes we shared for our entrées, and the desserts. It's VERY difficult to go wrong with anything on the menu here. Over and above the food, the wine list features several very interesting choices from various regions in Italy. Prices ranged from expensive to quite reasonable. In particular, I can personally vouch for one particularly massive Primitivo which weighed in with a 14.5% alcohol content which was simply devine! Bottom line: I highly recommend this place for a relaxed and delightful meal whenever you're in Manchester!

For mains I shared a risotto with cheese and barolo (red) wine. I haven't had much purple food in my life so that alone was quite exciting. It's a very rich dish and might be good to split and share rather than have to yourself. It's got a good strong flavour though, and is something a bit different. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Located in Manchester's city centre on Clarence Street, just off Princess Street and close to St…read moreAnne's Square, Croma is an "independent gourmet pizzeria", with a few branches around Greater Manchester, with this being their only city centre location. Having been impressed by their Prestwich branch, where I most recently awarded it a three-star rating (previously a four!), I decided to try this out after stumbling across Croma on UberEATS. Originally the app didn't allow me to specify gluten free - this is something which needs addressing however after a quick call with the store, the manager seemed friendly to assist and make sure my order was gluten-free and I could still get my food. The restaurant its self is an impressive old building, it is up a couple of steps to get in - which could be a problem for some. I ordered a Gluten Free Americana pizza, the pizza its-self was quite good quality, the passata was a little runny at times but overall the pizza was a decent pizza, especially for gluten-free, much beating most other takeaways I could have had including Domino. The overall prize was good too for delivery, my pizza came delivered the short half a mile journey to the Hilton Manchester Deansgate for £11, the delivery free was set by UberEATS and cost around £2.50 in that total. The pricing for eating in, however, is pretty much average, with it being a small restaurant they lack the offers which bigger chains do, meaning it could work out slightly more expensive than rivals, including (but not limited to) Bella, Pizza Express and Zizzi. The menu selection is pretty good too, if you like pizzas but maybe not so much for everything else. is this somewhere I'd order from or visit again? Yes, and it does definitely warrant a solid three-star rating, issues with pricing when dining inside, selection other than pizza including starters and sides, and the access issues mean I sadly don't feel I can go any higher than a score which would match Croma's other branch I've visited in Pretswich, of three-stars.

I am very pleased that they did. This is an interesting concept. They change the six-course tasting menu every six weeks and we arrived for the tail end of their ¨Tokyo¨ theme. The six courses costs just £39 and you can add wine pairing for another £30, for a total of £79 if you go that route. Unfortunately, I had to drive my three accompanying tea-tot tellers, so none of us imbibed much to my chagrin. They have a ¨Regular¨menu and a ¨Vegetarian¨menu, so everybody was happy. I went with the regular menu, so I cannot review the vegetarian option other than to say that the vegetarian in our party seemed quite happy. Course 1: Chicken Karaage - Crispy chicken thigh, togarashi (whatever that is), and orogi shoga ginger. The crispy, diamond-shaped little critter was garnished with pretty little orange flowers and greens and two little blobs of yellow cream, the togarashi and orogi shoga ginger I had assumed. It was delicious and a great start to our meal. Course 2: Tempura - Crisp enoki mushroom, pickled daikon, and ponzu. The mushroom looked like a piece of coral, tempura style, and it was surrounded by some more small globules that looked like chocolate, a big blob that looked very similar in color with a crispy round thing on top, and some other red blobs that turned out be quite spicy, probably chili-based. The mushroom itself was crispy and the brown paste tasted like a mushroom concoction of some kind but, when combined, it was extremely flavorful. Course 3: Oknoiyaki - Pork and prawn pancake, okonomi sauce, and Japanese mayonnaise. This was one of my favorite courses. The pancake looked and tasted like half of a tart, pastry or pie rather than a pancake and was drizzled with white stuff, likely the mayo, and topped with freshly picked watercress and some other weeds. It was savory, complex in texture and taste, and a winner in my book ... HOOAH! Course 4: Miso Sea Bass - Tokyo turnip, shimeji mushroom, egg yolk jam, and kombu dashi. I am not a huge fish lover, but the bass was perfectly cooked and seared to a golden brown, sitting atop some stringy white things which I assumed were the mushrooms. There was a tiny little egg yolk on the plate and a crispy gyoza, then our server poured a warm, brownish broth on top. The combination of the sea bass, mushroom, a little egg yolk and a piece of gyoza in every bite was sublime. Hey, I like fish after all! Course 5: Tonkatsu - Panko pork cutlet, glazed belly, cabbage, hokkaido pumpkin, and yakitori ham jam. This was the best course of the bunch. I am not sure which was the cutlet and which was the belly, but there were two of them on the plate, one with sliced cabbage on top, along with a big orange splotch (pumpkin I assume), a smaller round yellow one, and a cylindrical brown one. Whatever they were, they were scrump-diddly-sumptuous! I alternated tasting the meats with the different blobs and I have to say they were all great ... we have a winner! Course 6: Strawberry Candy - White chocolate, matcha cake, and candy strawberry. Finally, the dessert course. On the plate was a white chocolate rectangular parfait of some kind with a couple of red lobs on top accompanied by a kind of strawberry mousse/ice cream, a couple of sliced strawberries, and some green stuff that looked like kale. Oh, yeah, there was a shard of red glass made of sugar sticking out of the whole thing. The white chocolate bar was creamy and yummy, the strawberry parfait equally as good, the red blobs I was not sure about but they were sweet, and the kale also turned out to be a confection of some kind. I was very impressed by the complexity and the artistic panache of the dish ... YES! I have never been attracted to foo-foo restaurants with their tiny portions and massive prices, but this place was THE BOMB. A beautifully presented six-course tasting menu of delicious varieties in a Tokyo theme, even if I had no idea what most of the ingredients were, all for just 40 Quid. Impressive! Much to my surprise, we all left satiated, not stuffed, raving about the food, whatever it was, and how we wanted to come back and try the next menu - Mad Hatter's Tea Party or something along those lines. The only negative was the aloofness and insincerity of some of the servers. With one exception, they were disengaged and phony as they described the courses. As I have mentioned in other reviews, Generation Z seems to be producing socially incompetent humans, not surprising because they only know how to talk to each other via SMS or on social media.

I think it was a bit mono-tonal for a dish I did not like the wine paired with the dessert I don't think it matches well even thought the dessert had some acidity the wine was to sweet to really complement the dessert I think a stella rosa or novelino wine would have complemented the dessert well Service was great ( the servers knows notes and flavors of the wines being serve and knowledge of the food being served) Ambiance was okey it doesn't look special but it does look cozy Over all experience is amazing definitely coming back.
