"My friend and I met up in Hale for pizza/pasta Piccolino and Cibo seemed a little too dressy for lunch, Dante appeared a bit quiet, and then I found an O2 Priority offer on my phone: 2 mains at Pizza Express for £10! We headed inside and the restaurant was busy for a weekday with quite a few tables occupied, including a party of mums and their five children. I would have liked to have sat round the back where it was a little quieter, but the waiter clearly wanted to seat us near the front windows (maybe to create the impression of business?? . It was a little cramped, but fine. We were served by a waiter who was clearly experienced, very efficient, and never made us feel rushed, but lacking in a smile...ahaha : My friend ordered the vegan pizza and I ordered the legarra penne but asked for it with aubergine, courgettes and mushrooms in addition to the peppers that come in it. (I later found out that I had been charged an additional £4 for these ‘extras’, which kind of negated the whole point of visiting Pizza Express for a £5 lunch, but oh well, at least they were accommodating . Table water and a Coke Zero were both brought out very swiftly, and the food was quick to arrive too, even though the waiter had actually informed us beforehand that there was only ONE chef to cook for the whole restaurant!! My pasta was beautifully garnished with rocket on top (which I usually don’t eat but I mixed it into the pasta and it was delicious and, most importantly, absolutely PIPING hot (maybe because the bowl was warm, which is very important too !! I could tell that the pasta had been cooked al dente (as it should be as a couple of pieces of penne were ever so slightly hard, but, on the whole, this pasta was absolutely delicious. The portion was generous, the sauce wonderfully thick and ever so slightly spicy (in a good way , and the chef had managed to pack in lots of vegetables for me. My friend also enjoyed her pizza I had a couple of bites of the crust myself and the dough was as good as ever. Even though my additional requests for the pasta and my friend’s Coke Zero prevented us from paying only £10 for lunch, the bill still came to less than £17 in total, which I think was excellent value for such fast service, an accommodating kitchen, generous portions and delicious food!! If you’re in Hale and fancy a more casual Italian, I reckon Pizza Express is your best bet."

"Thank you for the hospitality that I received when visiting your Media City restaurant last Friday for a pre-theatre meal. Food and Menu There is a simple menu that includes all the Italian and American classics that people love to eat. The choices are limited however it does cater for a range of diners from the Meat lover to the Vegetarian. In the Starters there is a Garlic Pizza Bread that is tasty with a great Garlic aroma. There is also American Style Nachos with Jalpenos and all the sauces to dip into. It also has Calamari, Ribs and the Chicken Crunch too. In the Mains there is a great selection of Pizzas with good flavours. There are also additional toppings that you can add for an extra charge. There is also a decent variety of Steak, Pasta and Salad dishes for those that fancy those too. For the Burger fan there are some Beef Burgers and a Chicken one too. There is also a wide variety of sides that are a great addition to your meal from Chips, Sweet Potato Fries to Onion Rings and Garlic Bread too. For those with a sweet tooth then there is a selection of popular Desserts including the Warm Chocolate Brownie, Cheesecake and, Tiramisu that is creamy and indulgent to eat. If you like cold Desserts then there is Ice Cream and the Knicker Bocker Glory. For the Starters the Garlic Pizza Bread was tasty however it was too crispy and crunchy to eat. It is usually soft and scrumptious to eat. The Calamari was pleasant to eat but could have been cooked better as it was a bit rubbery to eat. The Chicken Crunch was delicious. It was cooked nicely and the Mayonnaise dip went well with it. For the Mains the Chicken Fillet Burger was well cooked and it was beautifully presented. It was tasty and heart-warming to eat. The Salad and the Mayo added more flavour otherwise it would have been bland just having Chicken inside a Burger Bap. The Sweet Potato Fries were comforting to eat. They were crispy on the outside and were soft on the inside. I love how they are presented in a small pan dish. Cute. The Onion Rings were OK but they broke apart every time I ate them. This suggests that they should have been cooked better to give them a solid texture and stop them breaking. The Dessert was the stand out course of the dinner. The Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream was lovely in I ts presentation. The Brownie was cooked to perfection. It was not hard to eat or runny with gooey and indulgent Chocolate. Heaven. The Ice Cream was great too as it cut through the richness of the Chocolate adding texture. Drinks They have a good selection of soft drinks which include all the popular ones to have. There is also a small variety of juices on offer too. However they do not serve non-alcoholic Mocktails. Service The service was good. Our waitress was friendly, welcoming and attentive. She gave us the time to choose our dishes. Her suggestions for food were spot on. It was good that the food came out pretty quickly and it was beautifully presented. Lighting and Access The lighting at this restaurant was pretty bright which allows for an enloyable meal for most people including those with visual impairments. Entry to this restaurant is at the Holiday Inn Hotel to which there is a small step to enter into the building. Once inside there is both stairs and lifts to get to the Mezzazine floor. This is where you will find the restaurant. Furniture The furniture here is brilliant. I love the big tables which are spacious. The chairs are big and are comfortable which gives a relaxed ambiance so that you can dine in style. Parking Parking is available at the Quayside Media City UK multi-storey car park (formerly The Lowry). If you are a Blue Badge holder then you will get 4 free hours when stamping your ticket. This takes effect from the time of arrival. Alternatively you can park at the Media City multi-storey which is closer to the venue. Pricing The pricing of the dishes at this restaurant are mid range to fine dining standard. However it is worth it especially if the waiters are good, the food is tasty and that it is beautifully presented. If you love to eat Italian and American food within a relaxed atmosphere then head down to your local Marco’s"

"This place is full of charm, my sister called ahead to book a table as their was going to be 4 adults and 3 kids (3year old, 1 1 2 10month old) and one of the adults is disabled with bad mobility issues.Great job we did too because when we got there it was packed to say the least The service was lovely, it was like it was being run by friends which was nice, we ordered our meals and drinks and I learnt they don’t do fried egg (no an issue for me) they said they could do poached instead which I’ve never tried before. The food was all lovely (I’d ordered a sausage and egg sandwich skinny latte) the bread was so nice as was the sausages! My grandma and Auntie ordered the Potato and leek soup with cheese sandwich and they enjoyed it commenting what a great food portion they had! My sister was a tuna panini which she enjoyed, the kids food was just as good. The cafe was wonderfully decorated! Clean and open, sofas and soft seats, decent baby chairs (which had the option of a cushion) outside was also tables and chairs for the nicer days, they have an awning which was nice to see. The kids play area was brilliant a great selection of toys and seating for them. And the on-site bathroom baby change was a little cosy as the baby change was a pull down once the door was closed (they made good use of the space) with 2 bins for nappies (it was over flowing when I went in as it was a busy day with babies) but it was nice that they had tissues on offer on the shelf as well as a nappy bagsI would defiantly come again."
