Vincenzo Trattoria 34 Saint Ann Street, Manchester M2 7LE

"Lee and Rosa were absolutely fantastic, and the food was superb! Visited on Sunday 18th December and as soon as we walked in the service was great. Sat at a table immediately, bar order taken swiftly and a menu (and specials) presented quickly…. We ordered 2 starters and they were great and mains from the off-menu were incredible! Throughout, Rosa and Lee were checking in with us and were very attentive throughout and it really was a pleasure to meet them. Tempted to stay, the dessert surpassed the mains and we had a coffee and another drink before we departed into the Manchester wind and rain, wondering when we would be back……. I would certainly recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and great service, as I do, and we will be back! Lee and Rosa are superb assets to your restaurant and I look forward to seeing them again!"

"Absolutely fantastic! Authentic Italian experience. My pizza was absolutely top drawer—significantly better than some I've had in Italy, even! My wife had meatball pasta and loved it. I tried some of it and genuinely can't remember having tastier meatballs. Desert—chocolste fudge cake—was as enormous as it was delicious. We were sharing one, which was plenty. Really highly recommend!"

"Lovely traditional Italian restaurant. We chose this over a chain hoping for real Italian, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was excellent... Maybe we waited a little too long for our main courses to arrive... So slow down on the wine I ordered from the specials menu, pasta with potatoes, green beans and pesto... It was a little creamier than I had expected from the description on the menu. My son had the pasta with prawns off the main menu, it might have mentioned chilli but it was so spicy made him light headed... I tried it and have to admit I couldn't have eaten it... I was going to mention something but my son asked me not to... So I didn't. Wasn't quite as I had expected but never the less we had an enjoyable evening"

"Just walk-in to this restaurant around the corner of city center, a small entrance and it’s not big inside. Luckily not many people on Sunday afternoon. Very traditional and classic Italian style decor inside for dining area, with an English bar table reception. A number of choices on wine and drinks, but would love to see more selection for red wine. Several choices on starter, ranging from soup to bread and salad mostly. Didn’t tried the main, but the pasta section is enough to pick your favourable one although don’t know why risotto is classified under pasta. Food quality is exceptionally good. Of course you can’t compare it to those Michelin 3 stars restaurant as the price for food in this restaurant is more affordable. But considering the price and food quality, it is very value for money. I tried the Ravioli All’ Ara Gosta, it’s like Tortellini with Lobster meat crunch inside. Very special and good match with tomato and bisque sauce. The minestrone soup is rich with vegetables which I recommend personally. I don’t like the Pate much as the chicken liver taste very different from Foie gras, but given it is my first time to try chicken liver, why not give myself a trial."

"This was our second time eating here and we really enjoyed it. The decor and feel of the place is lovely and the food is very tasty. A good authentic Italian restaurant. Our waiter Lee was great and made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Couldn’t quite finish the pizza as it was quite large but they boxed it up for us and we enjoyed a few pieces the next day. The staff here can’t do enough for you. Will look forward to another visit in the future."
