The 20 Manchester outdoor bars and beer gardens you need to visit from 12th April
"It had clumps of ice in it, a confusing flavour which was a little tangy and not very strong. Didn’t look like there was any real fruit. I think I’d prefer a Magnum."

"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 is so good, it’s always a pleasant surprise when you get the bill and remember just how budget-friendly it really is. Pizza prices range from £6.30 – £10.50 (the more expensive options being the meatier ones!), and each pizza is bigger than the huge plate its served on. The value for money is incredible, particularly since it’s officially the best pizza in the UK, and the atmosphere is perfect for a catch-up with mates."
"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."
"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…"
"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."
"The Villaggio Hotel in Warrington is a family run hotel with an Al a Carte Restaurant & Bar specialising in Italian Cuisine. Situated 5 minutes from Warrington Town Centre and 25 minutes from both Manchester and Liverpool airports. With easy access to the M6, M62 and M56."

"If you're looking for classic Neapolitan slices and a chilled out atmosphere this Northern Quarter pizza restaurant is bringing you tasty toppings by the boat load, all made with quality ingredients and served up fresh from their open kitchen."
"Salvi’s Mozzarella Bar, 22b, The Corn Exchange, Corporation St, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 3TR - Visit now. Salvi’s is one of a kind. It stands apart in the Corn Exchange, hidden underground, far removed from all the chain restaurants and smash-and-grab diners."
"Salvi's is an Italian favourite in Manchester where traditional pasta plates and dishes bring the comfort of antipasti and aperitivo to the Corn Exchange. When you're not dining?. Get authenthic deli bits from their in-restaureabnt shop."
"Footage think that brunch is the most important meal of the day, and based on that logic, they’ve made their bottomless brunch available every single day of the week!. That’s ninety minutes of bottomless prosecco, beer and G&Ts, coupled with one of their yummy brunch dishes, for a mere £20pp. Wallet-friendly as well as fun, that’s what we like to see!"
"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection – and this simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton is just that. The kitchen’s Essa grill is masterfully handled by co-owner (and former Lead Station chef) Recep Canliisik, who churns out char-grilled whole squid and seabream, Thai-spiced monkfish tail and possibly the best calamari in the UK."
"This cute little neighbourhood restaurant in Chorlton specialises in super-fresh seafood and are known for grilling whole fish in their charcoal oven. The wine list is also excellent. Menus change weekly depending on what is fresh and seasonal but you can view samples on their website to get an idea."
"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."
