Always have a lovely time at this restaurant. Gorgeous food & amazing service. Everyone who tended to us was lovely especially Valerie. I always go for a fish pasta dish, this time I had the crab ravioli & it was very tasty. My favourite dishes are the lobster ravioli & the squid ink pasta. I would definitely recommend xxx
Another really nice meal at Don Giovanni's. Went for the Valentines menu which was a good choice. Lobster salad, crab ravioli, seafood linguini were all very good indeed. Restaurant setting is nice too but maybe the tables for 2 are a little close together as we could hear every word of our neighbours conversations.
Wonderful Service
The food and drink were great. In some ways that is the easy part. Someone else did a block booking and I was the guest in charge ... pls not again ..: who had to make it work for different numbers, unexpected vegans, random difficult people etc. in our group and not Don G’s doing. Service was spectacularly. There were a couple of people who did most of the looking after (front of house) but everyone we spoke to were both really nice and really efficient/helpful.
As a group of ~20 we could have had a negative impact on other customers but as far as I could tell the staff managed to juggle serving us and a slightly smaller large group without letting it impact the other customers.
They made my job of looking after the group really easy. So appreciated.
I’d take a group there again at the drop of a hat but also would love the chance to go with just 1 or 2 people. I think that says something
A great night, hope to do it again.
Thanks again.
Surprisingly, this visit didn’t come sooner. Don Giovanni has been on the food radar for a while now, but has been passed-over for other neighbourhood haunts (we’re looking at your here, Albert’s Schloss). A sunny spring Friday seemed as good a time as any to rectify this glaring error.
Great service, and atmosphere. Also good to see gluten free pizza & pasta. The head waiter was attentive enough to notice before my plate hit the table that the pasta was not the g/f it was meant to be & sent it back. 👍🏻
Lovely restaurant. Looks very authentic and nice displays. Great service. Excellent pizza's with a range of toppings. Great value for money for quality
I was taken by friends. I enjoyed the calamari, the Dover sole, and the crème brulee.The staff were good, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
An absolute delight for lovers of Italian food. A must try!

We celebrated our sons 21st birthday last night, party of twelve, and we all commented on the great staff and lovely food. The welcome from the staff was great and one member took photos of our party before being seated. We had paid a small extra amount for balloons and confetti on the table which was tastefully done and this also included a birthday card from the staff and dessert of profiteroles with a candle!
The attention from the staff was not overwhelming and we were able to enjoy our meal without constant interruption to check how things were. Everyone was very friendly and didn’t rush us at all.
The only reason I have dropped a star for atmosphere is because the music played by a live DJ was too loud, we had my 87 year old mother with us and she struggled to join in but when asked, it was turned down.
Everyone enjoyed their meals of Diavalu and margarita pizza, ravioli, prawn cocktail, gnocchi etc all cooked well, served beautifully and very tasty. The puddings were lovely and not too large and one guest said it was the best tiramisu she had ever tasted.
Arranging the booking was simple and we were able to tweak our reservation without penalty. Meals were all ordered in advance and name cards were given with individuals choices written on the back which helped remind everyone. The meal itself was then served promptly and the evening was a great success.
Ok I came here super late and Cyprian was the best waiter I’ve EVER had he was hilarious, prompt, accommodating everything. I will always remember this Italian. I had the monkfish and it was brilliant. Thank you
Exquisite cuisine with a quiet atmosphere, excellent service from the waiters. Very good quality and price ratio.
Great service, greeted us with a smile - starters were great had the some chilli prawns and garlic bread for starters. Main meal I had the beef lasagna wow and the chicken pomade it was amazing. I Would definitely try it again this time I’d go for a steak.
The restaurant has nice atmosphere, and waiters are friendly. However, the risotto and lasagne we ordered are only mediocre. The rice and pasta within them were cooked too long and were too soft, and the tastes are only okay. Cream spinach is the only dish we found delicious today. There’s a 12.5% service fee.
Wow, wow, wow! Where do I start on how delicious the food is here?! Not to mention the super friendly staff here too. I come out with my partner for an extra special date night, we cannot be happier we’ve come here. The food is so nice, we got garlic bread and gamberini to start - sooo good. Then for our mains I got lobster and my partner got the fillet steak - again sooo good. And for pudding crème brûlée- yummy! The cocktails here are nice too. Everything here is perfect! Suli and Toni were absolutely amazing, top notch service. Thank you very much. I hope my next visit will be in the not too distant future, definitely will be coming back.
Nice food, good atmosphere but unfortunately mediocre service. Orders get mixed and the waiter has touched the food by hand.
Great restaurant with a lovely ambiance in Manchester!
Lovely pasta dishes with friendly, helpful waiters :)
Had a lovely night. I have not visited in years due to moving away from Manchester. It was just as amazing as I remembered. Food was amazing and service was excellent. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Shout out to Enzo who was so charming and lovely.
Thank you again, until next time.
I liked the foodstuffs the way they cook. You know if you don't eat then you have not travelled.
