Piccolino Alderley Edge

Very friendly welcome from reception. Friendly staff all round. Wine was extremely expensive and I didn't get to see what the price was per glass before ordering. I'm certainly not tight but 15 pounds for a dry rose is silly . I'd only expect to pay this is a 5 start hotel. I wouldn't mind paying this for a premium rose like whispering Angel or rock ,Or Mirabeau. Starter was lovely, meats and cheese. My carbonara wasn't hot enough but as they were so polite I didn't want to upset them.

Prefect dinning experience, staff are lovely and supportive!! Environment and atmosphere are lovely. Ordered 2 starters and 2 mains, foods are amazing! Starters; - Pan fired scallops: Scallops are perfectly cooked, moist, seared outside and well seasoned, potato puree is smooth, thick and good match with scallops, crispy bacon enchanted the overall texture and flavour of the dish. - San Daniele ham: Standard performance, hams are rich and not fatty, ricotta honey pistachio mix gives the dish a smooth and fresh taste. Mains; - Bucatini carbonara: Buactini cooked perfectly, not too soft and pack with guanciale flavor, the carbonara sauce is rich and can taste the egg yolk and pecorino mix, a pinch of black paper at the end bring up the taste of everything. - Slow cooked beef: Beef is tender, melt in the mouth, pack with red wine flavour, red wine sauce is thick and smooth, potato puree and pan fired shallot added a little different texture to the dish.

Enjoyed a late lunch, 2 tables for 2 couples. As a veggie a bit limited on the menu, but the wild mushroom gnocchi was v good. I read the recent negative reviews and we had no problems with anything,, we all enjoyed our food. everything looked great to me. There was Nothing wrong with the food, decor, ambiance, service or temperature. It was all spot on as far as I experienced. We will come back & I would certainly recommend. thank you all.
