This isn't just the best Italian food we've had in Manchester, it's the best Italian food we've had in the UK. Trust me. The staff are beyond welcoming and a joy to be around, the food is unbelievably tasty, great value for money and with one of their Sicilian NQ signature cocktails in hand, l genuinely feel like I'm on holiday in Sicily. We tried the Pistachio Lovers set menu this time round and it was flawless. Can't wait to come back, thanks for making our anniversary even lovelier ❤️
