Top Best Italian Restaurants in Pleasington

"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?"

"No best-of restaurant list is complete without pizza, and luckily Manchester is well-known for its popular pizzeria Rudy's Pizza. Known for its "proper" Neapolitan pizza, Rudy's a casual spot that's ideal for families and groups but is also cool enough for couples and pairs of friends. There are several locations throughout Manchester, and you won't go wrong at any of them."

"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."

"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."

"Manchester’s oldest independent Italian restaurant, Don Giovanni is a fave among the locals and it’s easy to see why. The menu has a real family-style vibe to it, with large bowls of pasta, generous portions of delicate seafood, and lovely bright meat dishes. Inside, you’ll find beautiful, contemporary decor – suited to dinner with the family after a bit of shopping, a laid-back date night or just a nice catch-up with friends over a bottle of wine."

"It can be hard to find a restaurant for a sophisticated meal that has more than just salad as a vegan option, but Don Giovanni have changed the game. Releasing a dedicated vegan menu earlier this year, the chefs are no strangers to plant-based meals. Tuck into a roasted aubergine lasagne or pizza vegano, complete with vegan mozzarella."

"The Manchester voices singing this restaurant's praises might not be as tuneful as those belting out Mozart's opera of the same name, but many are as enthusiastic."

"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."

"Zizzi restaurants are passionate about simple Italian cookery. Whether it's pizza or pasta, salads or risotto, or carne and pesce (meat and fish), each dish is prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients - from the popular classics to Zizzi's own…"

"Cicchetti, Fumo and San Carlo itself are all wonderful choices for a special romantic evening. Cicchetti has a lovely marble bar that you can sit at whilst you nibble on small plates, whilst Fumo’s beautiful art deco interior is the perfect setting for a special date. And for lovers of traditional Italian food, you can’t go wrong at San Carlo."

"San Carlo is Manchester’s most famous and, some say, best Italian restaurant. Run by the Distefano family, it’s said to have one of the largest turnovers in the UK. It’s also the place to be papped and there’s usually a bank of photographers outside to prove the point."

"This was really well priced and had the best flavour and presentation. They even gave me more than one scoop. The restaurant uses traditional techniques to make their sorbet and it works for them."

"Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve is a place brimming in an abundance of the many wildlife that you can find in this area. A nature reserve consisted of wetlands and tillable land, this is certainly the best place to be closer to nature with the thriving population of different birds and water voles. From spot marsh harriers, barn owls, sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons, as well as, lapwings, redshank, dunlin and oystercatchers you would certainly feel amazed exploring the place and the wildlife known in the area."

"Nestling alongside the River Alt, Lunt Village is home to this peaceful haven of wildlife and tranquility. You’ll find an assortment of inhabitants at this bird-watching site; from water birds to barn owls, geese and kestrels, as you make your way around signposted paths at this wonderful wetland nature reserve.

"The team at Funky Food in Birkdale consider themselves to be 'vegan and gluten-free specialists'. Their Facebook page says "We can cater for any needs including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, diabetic, low-sugar and sugar free."

"Breakfast, brunch and lunch, and a delicious cup of coffee to go alongside it, what more could you want?. From open bagels to delicious pancake stacks, this is the perfect place to come for a taste of Brooklyn. Located in the heart of the Northern Quarter and serving only locally roasted coffee, this is definitely one to try."

"19 Cafe Bar, 19 Lever St, Manchester, M1 1BY - Visit now. 19 Cafe Bar is located near the bus stops off the main Northern Quarter drag, instantly making it appealing because: cheaper and less pretentious. We’re big fans of their Breakfast Club offer and Brunch Cocktails."

"19 Cafe Bar has been closed in lockdown 3 but they are reopening especially for Pancake Day – open from 10am and last orders 5:30pm. Hearty stacks of thick American-style pancakes. Toppings include syrup, bacon and fruit, as well as Funfetti Pancakes, Biscoff, Kinder Bueno and Oreo Pancakes."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."
