5 of the Best Student Cheap Eats in Manchester
"Bella Italia might not seem like the most obvious choice for a bottomless brunch, but actually, their offer is pretty damn good. You get two courses and bottomless prosecco for £27.99pp, and you can take advantage of this offer every Friday to Sunday between 11:30 and 5. How about a bruschetta followed by a pizza, or a delightful pasta dish?"
"Bella Italia are an Italian restaurant chain that also offer a Bottomless Pizza Brunch – bottomless pizza, combined with bottomless Prosecco – what’s not to love?. Find out all the info here. They also do a surprisingly good value cooked breakfast."
"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."
"Rudy’s Pizza, 9 Cotton Street, Ancoats, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 5BF - Visit now. Based in an up-and-coming area of Ancoats, Rudy’s Pizza has a host of rave reviews and it’s no surprise why. The pizzas on offer are top-class, and the restaurant boasts a charming laid-back feel."
"Rudy’s is another great pit stop for vegans, with their specials board often providing a different dairy-free option every week. Rudy’s Neapolitan pizza dough is 100% vegan, and alongside their stunning marinara, any pizza on the menu can be asked for without cheese. No wonder they’re labelled the best pizzas in town."
"This charming Oxford Road Italian is a popular choice for celebrations and has previously been awarded the gong for the most romantic Italian restaurant in the UK. With proposals happening here every weekend if you’re thinking to pop the question this Valentine’s, trust you’ll be in safe hands at Don Giovanni."
"An extensive menu of Italian classics are served at Don Giovannis in the heart of Manchester. Perfect for pre-theatre meals, the restaurant serves pasta, pizzas, hearty mains and salads, as well as irresistible Italian desserts. A bustling ambience is…"

"10/03/2021: Having read some of the earlier reviews I can honestly say that things have greatly improved. I understand that it is now under new management and that the food quality, ingredients, service and staff are now of the highest quality."
"Hiding away up the stairs in Piccadilly Station is Manchester’s best ice cream. Carluccio’s has been serving commuters and visitors for years."
"Another luxe offering from the San Carlo group, this fun (and date-worthy) Italian restaurant in Manchester follows the signature style of sister sites. Head to Fumo to find sunny splashes of yellow from the banquette seating through to an eye-catching wall feature."
"The San Carlo chain certainly seems to know what it's doing, so the arrival of Fumo - its fifth restaurant in Manchester - is exciting most welcome."
"This craft coffee and tea house has a minimalist interior and Skipton's best coffee. The provenance of its rotating beans is chalked up on a board, along with tasting notes for its menu of white and black teas.... Health Food in Skipton"

"An intimate bar, a handsome dining room, impeccable service and knockout steaks and seafood - Hawksmoor offers a consistently excellent dining experience, so it's a failsafe for Valentine's Day. Based inside an old Victorian courthouse, the Deansgate restaurant is an impressive but understated setting for a date with its tiled walls, parquet floors and comfy leather chairs. The larger cuts of steak like chateaubriand, porterhouse, T-bone or bone-in prime rib are made for sharing with your Valentine."
"If you like a good steak, immediately book a table at Hawksmoor, a beloved British steakhouse with a few outposts throughout the country. The menu has many options, including for vegetarians, but the rib-eye is the way to go (especially if you add the bone marrow gravy). Hawksmoor is also known for its massive Sunday roast, available from lunchtime on Sundays, and it's the sort of spot where you can pop in for a burger at the bar or go all out for a special occasion."
"The first branch of this modern British steakhouse to open outside the capital, Hawksmoor offers simply superb steaks from dry-aged British rump and rib-eye to porterhouse and chateaubriand alongside classy cocktails and a winning wine list. Leave room for the heavenly sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream."
"Vermilion is one of the best places to eat Asian food in Manchester. The luxurious restaurant can be found just shy of Etihad Stadium and is brimming with eclectic plates that range spans countries from Thailand to India, make sure to hit it up when you fancy a diverse range of dishes."
