    My sister and I had a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived to when we left. All the members of staff were friendly and helpful, in fact they couldn’t have been nicer. Plus to top it all our meals looked and tasted delicious. We would highly recommend a lunch or dinner at Gino’s.

    Devour has always been our favourite restaurant for ambience, decor, staff and service but food has been a bit variable sometimes. We have visited and had great food then another time not so great. The style of food is Italian and a lot of the main courses come with pasta and this has not always been our choice. So we were delighted with the Festive menu which had a great variety of fish and meat dishes without pasta and certainly won our votes. The smoked salmon and prawn roulade was delicious as was the salmon in lobster bisque and the pork chop We had our usual lovely time with great staff and wonderful festive ambience but our visit was vastly improved with the more varied menu Thanks to all and merry Christmas

    A great lunch for 6 of us at a capacious table near the kitchen area (as requested). The menu is extensive, plus there was a festive option. Service was prompt and courteous. One of our go-to places when meeting in Manchester. Sometimes we meet there just for cocktails or out door coffee in the summer
