Italian food restaurant in Bury

“My new favourite local takeaway, Franco's, never disappoints. From the pizza to the pasta dishes they are are always superb, great friendly staff and fast turn around on the orders. food is authentic with beautifully crips pizzas that arent over loaded.”

“Lovelybrestaurabt with great staff. Felt very well looked after and spoilt by their respectful friendliness. Great Great food. Amazing prawn starter and risotto. Tiramisu wasn't my favorite dessert as I felt there was too much sponge, but sticky toffee pudding was very nice.”

“Went to Cotto to celebrate friend birthday, they made us really feel welcome since the moment of the arrival.Service was pleasant and really skilled.Whats more all the food were tasty and well presented from the starter to the dessert. Definitely will be back.”

“I don't know why I travel all the way into Manchester City Centre when there are local places like this!! This place is a hidden gem! My friend ordered the potato kibbeh - these were small and delightful with a thin crusty texture on the outside and the mashed potato and lamb mince on the inside. I ordered the sucuk, thin slices of a spicy beef sausage - the flavours were strong and moreish. These were served with a basket of homemade white flatbread which were incredibly fresh and soft - they were pitta shaped but were fluffy and pillowy, not the hard dry white stuff you get in supermarkets! The waiter assured us that there was always plenty of bread available and sure enough we had another basket of lovely bread with our main courses. We both ordered the Chef's Mix which were skewers of charcoal grilled marinated meats - chicken, minced lamb and lamb shish pieces, served on a bed of onions and parsley and a chilli sauce.We also ordered a mudjadara rice between us as a side dish - a mix of lentils and rice cooked in spices and topped with crispy fried leeks. Yummy. We both agreed that although the flavour profile of the meats were quite similar to other nearby places (e.g. Turkish restaurants), the seasoning was better balanced here and most importantly, the cooking of the meat was excellent. Here, the chicken was succulent and tender, not dry and hard, and overall it looks like they know when to take it off the grill! At other places the charcoal grilling has left the meat hard and burnt at the edges with a bitterness - here everything was cooked just right. Although we were stuffed and were only considering an Arabic coffee, we both encouraged each other to go for a dessert. Unfortunately my friend's Halwa wasn't available so he joined me in a Muhallebia. Now normally I'm not one to bother with a dessert - I prefer crisps to chocolates and would rather have starter and main instead of main and dessert! And we were already incredibly stuffed! But this dessert blew my mind - a delicious milky pudding, not too dissimilar to a panna cotta but fluffier and less silky in texture. However, the flavours - wow the sweet vanilla with a tint of rose water, it was truly heaven and I haven't felt that way about any dessert for years! Garnished with chopped pistachios, this was for me the surprise star of the meal! Followed by strong and fragrant Arabic coffee, it was a fantastic end to a great dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, and I thought the decor, lighting and music was just perfect for the place. I highly recommend this place - it's small and relaxed and deserves attention. I hope it keeps these high standards up as I definitely want to come back and try the other offerings (and the Muhallebia again!).”

“Popped in here wh n shopping, got say the lamb curry was beautiful. Made the naan bread to order. Would go again”

“Thank you for such a lovely evening last week. Has to be one of the best Italian pizzas I have had in a while. All fresh and authentic. Also had some tasty tiger prawns to start. My partner had the Salmon which I tried too, very good. Hats off to the chef! Thanks to the waitress Gabi who made some good recommendations, as I was a bit stuck for choice!”

“Live around the corner from this pizza takeaway. It's not been open long so tonight we had the pizza takeaway and a garlic bread. First off ,real home baked pizza dough, second was the box was bone dry,no dripping grease under the pizza which was absolutely beut. The choice of garlic bread and pizza toppings are amazing. All in all.10/10 from me. New owners should be proud.”

“Love this takeaway. Pizza is delicious. Kebabs are full of flavour, not many veggie options but never had any complaint about food. Always delicious. Accidentally ordered for collection but they happily delivered to us in less than half an hour.”

“Fresh quality take away with plenty of vegetables in my chicken chow mein!”

“First time at this fabulous restaurant and it won't be the last! Lovely concept of a 4 course meal served to you with courtesy and a smile. We loved the fact there is no menu meaning that each course was a surprise. The food was all home cooked, delicious and extremely good value. The chef came and chatted to us at the end of our meal too. Think we have found our new go to restaurant.”

“Very good pizza, one of the best I've had. They had some beers on draft, which were tasty and reasonably priced, but not listed on the drinks menu, so its worth asking when you go. Friendly service and cool interior.”

“Great customer service! The food was fresh and delicious. The milkshakes were amazing. Highly recommended.”

“An excellent delicatessen and cafe in Whitefield; a really good selection of cheese, salami and other Italian goods. The staff are very friendly and welcoming too which is great to see - a proper local business.”

“What can I say. A little hiccup with the pizza. Purely accidental, it got squashed under other food. The restaurant was amazing. Very apologetic and replaced it in record time. The starters, brilliant the wife’s Pasta dish very tasty and finally my pizza. One of the best I have had in a long time. Everybody who wants a good Italian. Pepper’s is the place. Thankyou”

“The food was fantastic, service even better. Would definitely recommend for a nice relaxed lunch or dinner.”

“We came in for dinner on a Tuesday. The weeknight evening set menu was a great deal with really fresh, tasty and authentic food in generous portion sizes. Service was also lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal - even had some leftovers to look forward to at lunch the next day! Highly recommended.”

“Food was delicious, had the ribs to start well presented and the meat was really nice. Fillet stake with brollo sauce I had mine rare was cooked perfect. And order a garlic bread with cheese for the table that was delicious. Can't wait to go back.”

“Group of 7 (1 youngster) Good service, good food. We had Mains of sea bass, ribs, lasagne, pasta, child's pizza came with colouring book and crayons all good. Very happy!”

“Food was excellent. The Chef has a huge reputation which is well deserved. May have to make this a regular visit”

“TLDR: Great food and atmosphere - Recommend! My wife and I visited for an impromptu date night. This is not our first visit and we knew what to expect. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, as expected. The staff were warm, friendly, and professional, as expected. We had garlic bread and olives as our starters, and Margarita Pizza and Pasta Bolognese as our main courses. Every dish was perfectly cooked and the portion sizes were very generous. We both left feeling very happy that we had enjoyed a fantastic meal in a lovely restaurant, and I have nothing else to say except stop reading, and go and eat. NOW!”
