"Wow what a difference in customer service, in comparison to the Hourglass at Piccadilly.. I popped in Here for lunch as I had a cheque of £35 to use from Trg Concessions , after an appalling service in Hourglass at Piccadilly Train Station.. The food here does not offer homemade burgers but Italian food. Approaching the Italianesque restaurants, we were greeted and seated outside with great enthusiasm. I could not fault the level of care from beginning to end. Even the manageress came out several times to ensure everything was okay. To start we chose the garlic bread to share accompanied by mushrooms rissoto balls. I have to say this was surprisingly one of the best garlic pizza breads I have had. The base was light and airy with lots of garlic...nom! The risotto balls were tasty , firm on the outside and soft and ricey in the middle. The Mains where everything drops slightly in wow factor. It is rare I choose a veggie dish, but I decided on the butternut squash with pine nuts, and my companion the chicken scallops. The presentation was not great , and mine was just a roast butternut squash, no hidden surprises and a bland salad to match..also not enough pine nuts! The chicken was also apparently bland and very dry... The Peroni was good to wash this down..Overall I think this place is a tad pricey in reflection to what you receive. If they offered the same quality and variety of food as the Hourglass but maintain the high level of customer care this would easily be a 4 star place."

I visited Est Est Est this afternoon and the garlic bread was great, but the pizza topping where 50mm from the edge and very dry also my wife's margarita pizza said it was topped with cherry tomatoes but it had one and half (3 halves) on the pizza I would not recommend the pizza's

Very good service from the staff. Good selection of pasta pizza and chicken dishes on the menu. I had the bruschetta starter which was fantastic some of the way bruschetta I've had. Price wise, reasonable and a nice spot in the Trafford Centre to have an informal meal. Will be back!

Wasn't thrilled with the main course tasteless and the chicken was dry. Starter (soup) and side (garlic bread with cheese) was lovely service was average however food was a complete let down being lovers of Italian food, expected it to taste much better and not dry beyond words! Won't be returning

What we ordered: Rigatoni Alla Romana £11.75 £1.95 Formaggi e Tartufo Ravioli £11.25 £1.95 Pornstar Martini £7.95 Bellini £7.95 We both added chicken as an extra topping to our pasta which was £1.95 each Overall I'd rate my experience here a solid 4/5 The pornstar martini was really good. Not too sweet, not too bitter just perfect Surprisingly, the Rigatoni was also good too! I enjoyed every bite. Especially loved the sauce it came with too. The Ravioli was another great dish too! The sauce was superrr creamy and rich My Only complaint is that the portion was a bit small. The service was amazing, lovely staff

A mixture chain of Zizzi's and Piccolino's menu with a mature atmosphere and decor. It loses some relaxation to your experience here because of this. You are seated and your waiter/tress is attentive but it's hard to feel pleased when the place is situated next to the funnel walkway allowing the stream of shoppers with hungry stomachs to peer over your shoulder at what you're eating being watched whilst eating something quite delicious extracts the enjoyment. The menu serves a variety and the chefs provide hot, tasty tasty grub. If the situation of this restaurant was elsewhere, I'm sure I would enjoy it more.

my friend is always in the mood for pasta so we decided to eat here for a lunch break during our boxing day shopping! we were brought to a table promptly and given enough time to decide what we would like--i ordered a fusilli dish while my friend had his carbonara. it was a nice, open atmosphere restaurant in trafford centre which gave a very nice ambiance! our food arrived pretty quickly, i'd say within 10 minutes or so! the service was very kind and the place wasn't too busy (even though trafford was) but it seemed to be popular as a family place! the prices were fairly reasonable for pasta and for the portion size! it was an overall nice restaurant to eat with a friend when you don't want...

On a recent hungover trip to the Trafford Centre, my friends and I decided to stop for a meal. We craved a lot and we craved it now. Seated in the lovely 'outside terrace ' of Est Est Est we quickly ordered drinks the fruit punch is divine and perfect for combating extreme wine intake. As a starter I had the breadcrumbed mushrooms and mozarella with tomato salsa which was delicious and the sauce was just the right amount of tangy to balance the richness of the cheese. For my main, I ordered the Pollo Al Forno which was chicken on top of a pasta base with grana padano and spinach. It was lovely but the wait for the food was really long and we did have to ask what the reason for this was. The...

Hey what do you expect? It is in a mall, it is in a thoroughfare and it is pretty standard Italian. I guess it gets a 3* A OK because I wouldn 't say a Yay! I 'm a fan. I 'm pretty sure when next at the Trafford Centre we won 't be saying 'Let 's go to Est again more likely Let 's see what somewhere else is like . Now all this said, there was nothing wrong with the service, food, wine or ambience for that matter. Everything was fine, OK, alright, not bad. Do you see what I mean, there just wasn 't enough to make it a firm favourite. Service was relaxed, polite and attentive. There was an activity pack for the children which is always a bonus. We had a steak focaccia sandwich, a goats cheese...

Est Est Est or also known as Mathematics nerds as Est^3 (or is it just me? is a single restaurant serving Italian food in the Trafford Centre, I'd like to start off saying how interesting I find it to find a chain, which isn't part of a large brand to be in a shopping mall, but sadly this wasn't a good thing in the case of Est^3 Upon trying to enter, there were multiple queuing without a member of staff in sight, I waited a minute or two just to find out about their gluten free options before I had no choice but to call them, sadly the phone was nowhere near the customer queuing, but I still stayed right outside in view of the staff here while chatting to them on the phone. I'd like to first...

"I've been to a couple of different Dishoom branches a few times and have never been disappointed by the breakfast options. The sausage naan roll is excellent. A couple of really tasty vegan sausages with some melted vegan cheese all wrapped up in a lovely soft naan and served with some sort of sweet chilli dipping sauce. My go to now is usually the vegan Bombay. It's a good hearty breakfast plate with... a couple of the same well seasoned vegan sausages. Some vegan tofu akuri a nicely spiced tofu scramble. Some very well cooked mushroom slices (that are maybe a wee bit under seasoned). The baked beans are really nicely spiced, elevating them far beyond the standard sweet sauce fare that's the usual. A few slices of well flavoured black pudding (that could be fried to being a bit crispier). A cooked tomato which is a bit dull, I've never been keen on tomatoes on my breakfast plate and this once has not changed my mind. It could do with some more charring and maybe some spicing. To help you mop everything up, the whole thing is served with a couple of soft bread buns that have been nicely toasted. I usually top the whole thing off with some chocolate chai with oat milk you get free refills for your chai. Unfortunately, it isn't wheelchair accessible. There are stairs up into the restaurant and various small flights of stairs to get to different parts of the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024 03 25"
