"After I saw pictures on the sotto Facebook page of eating, I tried it. I had annoyed my partner for months. so on Saturday night we and another couple thought we would go for tee before we had a cocktail night in the city. the service was quite disappointing, it was quite busy, but not pushed by the feet and there were several workers on to 5/6 I think. our drinks lasted long until we were finished, and when we finished them, tried to draw the waiter attention to another drink, was a chorus. Several employees went past the table and didn't think to take our glasses and the wine glasses on the table, so it just looked creepy. our food took very long until we had come; with two other tables that came after us, we were served! what we had to have been to a man who had to have been the shift manager, and he answered by apologising and that he had to work with "an old staff today at night". one of the waitresses was a young girl who just stood around and didn't do much and we had to ask her to take away our glasses. we were almost finished with our second amount of drinks when our food finally came. the presentation was beautiful, unfortunately my carbonara wayy had to garlic in so that I could not eat everything. my partner had a pizza that was absolutely amazing, but the basic was quite soggy, I guess because fresh tomats are used in the sauce that is understandable. the bill was not too bad and we had another round drinks instead of pudding. the whole evening was good, drinks were also tasty and cheap, as cocktails go, but the service was disappointing and the eating was subduing. I will probably not rush back soon"

"Put simply, Giorgio 's not only had the best tasting food during my and my boyfriend 's short stay in Manchester, but were also by far and away the most accommodating and friendly! When we walked in it was clearly extremely busy, yet the front of house staff quickly ushered us over to a small table in the back corner where we were asked to look at the menu while they cleared a more suitable dining space for us, which occurred mere minutes later. The food was phenomenal. Now granted, neither of us have tried authentic Italian before, however we 're pretty sure it 's about as good as it gets! If you 're concerned about the price (as we were, this was very much a treat for us), then the Pre-Theater menu is definitely one to consider, and was in fact where we ordered from. The complimentary garlic bread served before our starters was so good it has now ruined garlic bread for us, as we know we shan 't be having anything that good for a while now, and both of our starters and mains were absolutely to die for. The portion sizes were more than generous too, resorting to us having to ask for the rest of our meal to be put into 'to go ' containers! To the staff at Giorgio 's, (I wish I was better at remembering names! My apologies) thank you so much for a truly wonderful experience. Should we ever find ourselves in Manchester again you can bet we 'll be planning our trip around a second visit!"
