Manchester’s stunning Piccolino Caffe Grande sits on Clarence Street, just off Albert Square and overlooking Manchester’s iconic Town Hall. It’s a fittingly-impressive location for our elegant restaurant which boasts an open kitchen, wine boutique, cocktail bar, oyster and caviar bar, Juicery, and a large alfresco terrace facing the Town Hall.

Italy’s diverse cuisine is the heart and soul of Piccolino in Manchester. We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. As you’d expect from the best Italian restaurants, Piccolino in Manchester offers a menu of Italian classics with a distinctly modern twist. At Piccolino, passion for provenance is at the forefront of our menu, which incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    Spaghetti frutti del mare was delicious and the chocolate fondant was great, however the tagliatelle with beef ragu was average and the ambience was very loud and not very intimate. Great service from the staff and beautiful decor !

    Piccolino were advertising with a truffel menu, also when I arrived these options were on the menu card. When I ordered one of these options, I was told they were not available. Why then advertise ??? I would have gone somewhere else. Service was unpersonal, starter was ok but main dish not. Charging for water although it is tap water.

    Great menu and atmosphere. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic- really attentive and food fun. She also arranged a birthday cake for my Mother in law who was celebrating her 80th birthday- we will all be back!

    The waiter was poor. We waited 40 minutes for drinks. The waiter tutted and shook his head when a colleague asked about the menu. The food was great but we had the worst service ever.
