Italian special occasions in Prestwich

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!).”

“My partner and I went for our anniversary, the staff were really pleasant and attentive. Our food arrived really quickly and it tasted absolutely delicious. I had the rigatoni and my partner had the calzone, the beef in the rigatoni absolutely melted in your mouth it was beautiful, the dough on the calzone was so soft and perfectly cooked. My partner drank the house red which he said was the nicest house red he'd had in a long time and I had a Bellini (finally a place that actually knows how to make one!). Thank you to your staff for such a lovely night, the food, the decor, the drinks and the service were perfect.”

“The friendly owner's are very nice. The food for the 6 or 7 times I've been in the last 6 months is always very good, freshly prepared and piping hot.”

“Excellent food and incredible service ! If you come across Coco’s cuisine don’t hesitate !”
