Sicilian NQ - Restaurant and Bar

5 stars – Absolutely phenomenal experience!

We had the most amazing time at this restaurant last night! Carman and her team were incredible — they looked after our party of four with such warmth and care. From start to finish, the service was flawless and made us feel right at home.

The vibe was absolutely beautiful — it genuinely felt like we’d been whisked away to Sicily. And the food? Unreal. Every dish was packed with flavour, but the pistachio pasta completely stole my heart. I need more of it in my life!

We were also celebrating a birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make it really special. It meant so much and just added to the magic of the night.

This is hands down my favourite restaurant in Manchester now. Can’t recommend it enough — we’ll be back very soon!

Absolutely beautiful food!
The Arancino starter I had, could quite possibly be the nicest starter I have ever had!
I had the cannelloni for main and that was equally as delicious!
And we had a couple of cannoli’s to finish off with, which was gorgeous.
Even the drinks were delicious, I had the homemade Sicilian lemonade, which wasn’t the usual, too sweet or too sour, it was refreshing and perfect.
We will definitely be returning x

Hands down the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. If you’re thinking of eating here — don’t. I went for my birthday and honestly, I wish I stayed home.

The food was an absolute disgrace. Nothing was fresh, everything tasted like it had been pulled out of a freezer and microwaved. We ordered garlic bread. No garlic, just rock-hard frozen bread. We paid an extra £4 for mozzarella, making it £10.50 for something that I wouldn’t even feed to a stray dog.

The staff clearly couldn’t care less. We had someone on crutches and still, they refused to move us to a more accessible table. They rushed us to leave by 6 PM, claiming another booking was coming — yet when we left, that table sat empty. Nothing but lies and attitude.

To make things worse, they shoved us next to the coat racks, so while trying to gag down the terrible food, we constantly had strangers leaning over us to grab their coats. Absolute chaos.

Staff were rude, slow, and seemed like they hated every second of being there — honestly, same.

The place was filthy too: dusty spider webs hanging over our heads, like a horror movie set.

Prices were outrageous for the garbage they served. It’s insulting they even call themselves an Italian restaurant

Spent a great evening here and food was authentic and great. LOVE the clam sauté (forgot to take photos haha), pasta and the tiramisu the most. Would definitely come with vegetarian/vegan friends again as they have multiple options of those.

Love love this place, nice boutique, cosy, loved there starter veggie platter for two, huge portion. For main I had the tagliatelle mushroom which needed loads more seasoning and Parmesan for depth of flavour, and all finished with sensational classic tiramisu. Merlot to wash it all down. Definitely coming back one day soon. Oh and great friendly service with a smile from the youngster.
