"We were in Bury for a few days visiting family and the weather was beautiful , we live on the Wirral and frequently visit Brasco lounge in Liverpool of the same chain , which we love. We actually visited Racconto lounge 3 times on our visit , first time we had a brunch of bacon and egg muffin , which we really enjoyed (although the bacon was very salty) The next day we came back and had a lounge breakfast , and the following day we brought my husbands mum , and drank cups of tea while resting from shopping . We enjoyed all the meals , and its lovely inside , although we ate on the terrace in the sunshine and we found all the staff very pleasant and friendly . But..... we had 2 things let it down for us . Firstly on each occasion , the service was extremely slow, when we had breakfast , it wasn't very busy , but we waited ages , although our tea was brought out well before the food , meaning we then had no drinks to go with the food . The second problem was , after waiting ages , we had to send the breakfast back as it was really cold , and it seemed like it had been sat waiting , almost as long as we had , the bacon on both the breakfast muffin and the breakfast was really , really salty also. None of this would put us off , as we enjoyed the dining experience overall , but if you are in a rush , i really wouldn't recommend eating here , as the wait was alot longer than expected every time ."

"I was in the area with a friend and we were looking for a place to get for a quick lunch. We found La Mancha and, initially, we were the only ones in there, but decided to give it a try anyway. Once inside, you'll be welcomed by a quaint atmosphere, with a colorful and eye-catching décor. It does remind me of my own Latin roots. From the table we were seating, everything felt like a authentic Spanish location. Even the street outside gets feels like completely different place, than the busy city beyond the buildings that surround it. There was Spanish music playing in the background which was at the ideal volume, loud enough to cover any background or street noise but quiet enough that it doesn't distract or covers your own conversation. Anyway, we have ordered a couple of dishes each and I must say, we weren't disappointed. Everything was fresh and tasty and completely on par with the look and feel of the restaurant. Prices were quite good and we were satisfied with the overall experience. On the downside, this restaurant might be a bit tricky to find as it's on a narrow side street, but it's definitely worth it and I highly recommend it."

"I've always walked past this place, never been in. So, kids were back in school and I decided to treat myself. Was easy to find a table wasn't that busy in the mornings. Service is pretty slow. Must have 10-15mins till I was approached to take my order. I opted for the large veggie breakfast and also ordered a Latte. Bit of wait again. latte came first then my breakfast and I wasn't disappointed. Really lovely, delicious breakfast. Everything on there had its own taste and flavoured well. Not a massive fan of asparagus but, I ate it, it tasted nice and buttery. I had 2 big pieces of bread I couldn't finish. (I took them with me on my walk back home) Overall, I wasn't expecting the £5 service charge, it turned out to be an expensive breakfast lol. Couldn't fault the taste. The scenery is nice if the sun is shining with the doors at the front of the cafe opened, which it was on the day."

"Whilst shopping in Bury during half term, my daughter and me visited this restaurant, (as usual!! It is a great place if you like pancakes and waffles. We usually have the savoury crepe with salmon and cream cheese.It comes with a salad and is bery filling.The...restaurant is licensed and my daughter loves the Pina coladas!!!.It is great value for money and the staff are really friendly. If you between 12 and 2 pm you may hsve to wait a while as it gets very busy.We have never tried the sweet crepes but habe seen them being served and they look delicious.Would definitely recommended this little restaurant for lunch."

"Bit of a rocky start but soon improved, we were seated at a soaking wet table not properly set, no thought or consideration, a senior member of the staff resolved this, re cleaned the table and provided clean cutlery and dry menus. Once our order was taken and the food arrived the experience vastly improved. Nachos sharer was a good starter, no extra toppings as we wanted to enjoy the mains we had ordered. Chicken and waffles which came with 1 waffle cut in half, should be named chicken and waffle as this isn’t the first time this has happened but seeing as I was sharing my wife asked for another waffle which was promptly provided. The other main was the Ivy burger, which came without issue. Both mains were flavoursome and each aspect of the burger was tasty as a whole and in its own right. I would highly recommend both!! Service maybe could do a bit better as on a busy Saturday night they seemed to be struggling a bit getting drinks out and also ensuring tables are clean and ready for customers to be seated, overall it was a lovely evening with great food served."
