Manchester’s stunning Piccolino Caffe Grande sits on Clarence Street, just off Albert Square and overlooking Manchester’s iconic Town Hall. It’s a fittingly-impressive location for our elegant restaurant which boasts an open kitchen, wine boutique, cocktail bar, oyster and caviar bar, Juicery, and a large alfresco terrace facing the Town Hall.

Italy’s diverse cuisine is the heart and soul of Piccolino in Manchester. We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. As you’d expect from the best Italian restaurants, Piccolino in Manchester offers a menu of Italian classics with a distinctly modern twist. At Piccolino, passion for provenance is at the forefront of our menu, which incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    I did request an upstairs window table. A little disappointed to be in the back rather lacklustre room. However, excellent food and service

    A great lunch for 6 of us at a capacious table near the kitchen area (as requested). The menu is extensive, plus there was a festive option. Service was prompt and courteous. One of our go-to places when meeting in Manchester. Sometimes we meet there just for cocktails or out door coffee in the summer

    Excellent menu with good range of options and price points. Attentive service and whilst the starters arrived quite quickly, there was more time between later courses and it was easy to have a longer break whilst deciding on desserts and coffee. Overall a lovely relaxed Sunday afternoon with great food and excellent service!
