Reviews of Puccini

Great place to eat, been there a few times already and it never disappoints. Carbonara is a masterpiece but anything really is delicious. The feel of the restaurant, the smell and the staff all create an unforgettable atmosphere, which makes you want to keep coming back. Overall I highly recommend it. We've had: Carbonara, Tortelloni Con Crema Prosciutto E Fungi, Lasagne and a garlic bread as an appetizer. Out of these I would suggest getting Carbonara for the first time and Tortelloni on the second occasion. 😁

I recently dined at Puccini, a pizza restaurant, and had a satisfying experience overall. The restaurant has a warm and inviting ambiance, creating a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying a meal. The menu offers a decent variety of options, with both classic and creative toppings to choose from. While the food items were delicious, the service at Puccini was average. The waitstaff was polite, but the service could have been more attentive and prompt. There were instances where it took longer than expected to receive our orders and get assistance.

Puccini was okay but I personally didn't feel the hype. My pate starter was disappointing but my friend opted for the meatballs which looked a lot better My main course was the linguine with monkfish, kingprawns and scallops. This was a delicious dish, just couldn't done with a bit more pasta for me but I couldn't fault the flavour. For dessert I had tiramisu but I think the server misunderstood me when I asked for some cream while I took a quick video and proceeded to drown the dessert. Luckily I love cream so it just made me laugh and I lapped it up Service was quick and the staff were friendly. I just feel it was slightly overpriced

Puccini is one of the few restaurants where you will get a proper eating out experience from all points of view. Everything from the restaurant design to the food and staff is a positive experience. The restaurant is a bit tight on space, but overall very well laid out. Tables and silverware are always spotless. The restaurant is very classy and it's a proper Italian restaurant experience. The staff are always courteous and act professionally, more so than in other larger and more popular restaurant. Admirable is the fact that the owner will most likely welcome you all the time when you get here. He's very attentive and always making sure his customers are well looked after and fully satisfied with their meals. I've been here on multiple occasions with family and friends, some of whom have been living in Italy for over 10 years and were highly impressed with the restaurant, staff and food. The food which is always amazing, tasty and well presented. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but the lasagne is to die for and even the small portion is plentiful. All the steaks I've tried were juicy and delicious and with the right amount of veggies and sauce. As well as food, you will find a few good Italian wines, out of which Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is probably my favourite. Staff will make sure to keep your glasses topped and are always on had to address any of your concerns. One thing that's admirable is that they have an open view kitchen so you can always make sure your food is prepared in a proper environment, if you are concerned with that. And, I've been behind the kitchen doors of a few restaurants so far which were absolutely a shame when it came to tidiness and cleanliness. But not Puccini. The kitchen here was absolutely spotless every time when I've been here and peeked inside. Overall this restaurant the best one in the UK that I've been at so far and I will keep recommending them to anyone wanting a top experience when eating out.

The Prime Minister of England - David Cameron, Sylvester Stallone, Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Sven Goran Ericcson, and on and on.., this place has seen them all, why? because simply the food, the atmosphere, the staff... every.single.night is always on point.<br/><br/>I don't work for this restaurant- I just read the reviews already here and thought I needed to set the record straight. It is clear both of those reviewers have never been to this restaurant. one of them talks about 'upstairs' and 'no atmosphere', there is no upstairs? <br/><br/>ignore them- this is one of the best restaurants in Manchester.<br/><br/>truth.<br/>

Problems for tipping. Once i have visited this restaurant with my girlfriend and we had a lovely evening.food was tasty,service very friendly but the real issue started later.<br/>when i paid the bill i asked the waiter if it was better leaving tips cash or in the card.anyway he told me it was the same because staff just see 5 pounds a shift as most of the tips are collected by the boss.<br/>that's very shameful<br/>i advise all the customers to leave tips straight to the waiters like i did

The good: very friendly staff, you certainly feel welcome, the restaurant has a relaxed and well designed dining area with plenty of room. The menu has a large selection, and the wine menu seems well considered. The not so good, the food is overpriced considering is quality and flavour, my prawn starter specifically tasted suspiciously frozen for £9. My main had overcooked fillet steak and undercooked pasta. But the garlic bread with tomato and herbs was excellent! My partners choices seemed much more successful than mine so maybe I will let her pick next time! To surmise, a friendly Italian, but sadly dissapointing.
