Top 30 Best Friends dining out in Altrincham

“Is it the pasta or the sauce? Set aside any fears of school dinner Mac and cheese, Sugo is on a different level altogether. Having lucked out on getting a table after 2 years of living nearby, I relished the chance to review them. The space is warm but snug. Large parties will struggle especially with COVID restrictions. Not an issue in summer, but a possible one in Winter. They’re dog friendly as they have some seating outside, so please specify this when booking. Onto the primi piatti! Expect luscious pasta cooked to the correct side of al dente. It seems to inhale the sauces that make use of the starch and premium stock in lieu of cream. All making for a far more palatable meal. And the sauce. The term does not do the flavours and texture justice. The melange of spices and components be they vegetarian or not, are sublime. Just a taste of the seafood pasta alone conveyed everything in one bite. Not to be outdone, their beverage selection is nothing short of brilliant. The chinotto brought back fond memories of Kinni cola. Sadly I did not have time to partake of dolce but will endeavour to do so next time.”

“Fantastic. Not too much fish (I'm easily overfaced), well cooked chips and not at all greasy. Superb.”

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“Amazing customer service, very friendly and attentive. Food delightful and lovely atmosphere, highly recommended!”

“Nice pub, good atmosphere, nice selections of beers and spirits, specially gins. Pies on offer look great”

“Went for doggy things and got some bargains in Forthgade fishy trays! Lots of bags of meaty chews and treats and very reasonably priced. Loads of art & crafts stuff too plus tons of household items.”

“The hotel could do with some updating however there are no real complaints with my stay. Ample room in the car park, the cooked breakfast was made to order with no restrictions on quantities and the staff were beyond helpful, friendly and accommodating. Check-in is normally 3pm however I needed the room sooner due to a wedding and they were happy to accommodate us. Would stay again if i needed somewhere to rest after a night out.”

“This is the best pizza place around fresh dough and ingredients! Great preparation, and they do gourmet burgers, desserts, milkshakes, and tango ice blast!!!!”

“Highly commended on all fronts. A really nicely presented shop with a small seating area, really lovely and helpful staff. And the food was all excellent. We tried some goat curry, the chicken, a dumpling, rice with peas and a lovely fresh salad. All really tasty and fresh. Sorry, no pictures this time but we will definitely be back!”

“Lovely little place we stumbled across when walking down the canal. Fresh pizzas, the dough brought from the main kitchen in Sale but soon they will be making in house in Altrincham too. We got the margarita, vegetarian and parmesan mozerella pizza and it was probably some of the best pizza I have had around, reminds me of the pizza we had in Sorrento and Napoli. Not too heavy, but filling. The kids loved the pizza and we did too. Definitely coming back here regularly.”

“Excellent food, vegan options, and great selection of craft beer and natural wines.”

“The food surpassed our expectations and the staff were helpful and attentive. The seafood platter was the standout dish for us - definitely worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere too.”

“Well having seen plenty of attempts by many to pretend to be an Italian restaurant we finally have one !!!!……. Here in Hale. Delicious food home cooked and the restaurant owned by the chef, his mother in the kitchen and his wife front of house. Kid yourself no more this is the real deal and delicious- a must try !!!!”

“We brought our friends here who were visiting from Birmingham and everyone was swept away with the quality and authenticity of the food. The service staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. This was our second visit here in the last month and the food is always amazing, top quality and makes you feel like your visiting India. Great for any occasion and always really good value for money. We won't be going anywhere else for Indian food in Trafford!”

“First visit - ham and cheese toastie. Delicious. Lovely thick toast. Someone else must have been having a bacon bap - it smelled divine. I’m looking forward to becoming an after-park regular.”

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”

“Very nice food, especially the salt and pepper ribs.”

“By chance I discovered this recently opened little gem of a cafe in Hale Village adjacent to the railway station. This cafe is on the second floor above an art gallery and is immaculately clean and simply but tastefully decorated. Very polite and attentive staff with a good selection of nicely cooked food and drinks at very reasonable prices. It is an ideal location to relax and meet your friends for a coffee or a light meal throughout the day.”

“Popped in to use the bar as we were waiting for teens to finish a birthday meal across the road. There was nowhere open to grab a coffee at 6.30pm on a snowy December eve. Although we were not dining in we were welcomed as any guest and the service was excellent even if it was for only 2 coffees and a beer. We are looking forward to coming back for a meal soon. Thankyou.”

“We had an amazing meal here. The food was delicious and presented fantastically. The service was very attentive but not overbearing. Can't believe it wasn't more busy, definitely don't miss this if you're in the area!”

“We enjoyed our meal especially as the cost was much reduced with 10 loyalty coupons”

“We had two large breakfasts and they were great. Fresh, quality locally sourced food. The sausages and bacon were cooked well. The service was efficient and friendly.”

“Fantastic authentically Italian pizza, and lovely staff. If I lived in Altrincham this would definitely become a regular haunt!”

“First time in Little Italy for myself and my partner and what a little jewel it is. Cozy and personal with wonderful food and great wine. Sam the owner takes the time to come out of the kitchen and make sure everything is fine personally, and our server Brooke was super attentive and helpful the whole night. We'll definitely be returning to this delightful eatery in the future.”

“lovely food so nice. My 21st birthday meal always fresh hot and plenty left over.”

“The best fish and chips in the Altrincham area. The staff are always very friendly / courteous nothing is too much trouble for them! My family and I use them regularly. I hope they are around for a long time to come.”

“Superb pub so full of character and atmosphere. The food is delicious and the staff are great. Not much more you could want.”
