Gino D'Acampo - Manchester

Had a great meal at Gino with friends. The calamari starter was just okay, fresh but a bit small in portion. However, Gino’s carbonara was amazing, with a rich flavor and a good portion size. The tiramisu was also fantastic! The only downside was the service; despite it being a quiet weekday night, the staff wasn’t very attentive. That said, the food was enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back again!

Visiting Gino D'Acampo's restaurant in Manchester for Mother’s Day was a pleasant experience overall. The staff were friendly and attentive, going out of their way to make us feel welcome. Their helpful nature certainly set a positive tone for the evening. However, there were notable delays between courses, which left us waiting longer than expected. While a quicker service would have enhanced the experience, the warm ambiance helped to bridge these gaps. The garlic bread options we had for starters were a definite highlight—flavorful, warm, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. For mains, we had a mix of pasta dishes and the Sunday roast. The pasta was excellent, showcasing delightful textures and flavors that left us impressed. The Sunday roast, on the other hand, was decent; while the vegetables and gravy were well-prepared and flavorful, the beef had a tad more fat than I would have preferred. One thoughtful touch that stood out was the complimentary glass of prosecco for the ladies—an elegant gesture that added to the celebratory mood of Mother’s Day. In summary, despite the service pacing being less than ideal, the friendly staff, delicious garlic bread, and attention to details like the complimentary prosecco made it a lovely dining experience.

Book a table for dinner at 9pm and enjoy a complimentary bottle of house wine. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were friendly. The food was excellent I had the Linguine Al Frutti Di Mare and a Pizza Margherita both beautifully cooked.
