GiorGio, Portland Street, Manchester
Having eaten at Giorgio’s sister restaurant Gio’s just over 12 months ago (read the review here), I have been thinking of an excuse to go to the “big brother” restaurant Giorgio’s for a while now, a catch up with some uni friends was a good enough reason to book a table.
A friend and I decided to go halves on the Mixed Italian platter to start with, which consisted of king prawns, meat balls, spare ribs, chicken wings, pate, with a selection of dips. The only bad thing I can say about the starter is that I had to share it with someone else, each item was amazingly tasty.
The selection of steaks at Giorgio’s is excellent and as I was feeling a bit flushed, I opted for the Fillet, after having a few beers I thought I would try the gorgonzola cheese & fresh cream sauce with the steak for something a bit different. All I can say about the main it is one of the best cooked pieces of Fillet steak I have had in a long long time, I asked for the standard “medium rare” and the chef didn’t disappoint, it was the perfect colour of pink all the way through, you could cut it with your fork.
I cannot speak highly enough about Giorgio’s, a nice Italian restaurant, the staff were excellent, it felt like they couldn’t do enough for you and were so nice and pleasant. To top it off the food was top drawer, the only con is it a little overpriced, but can be justified if all the dishes are as good as the ones I had.
If you have a bit of cash burning a hole in your pocket, want to be waited on hand and foot, whilst being served top drawer nosh, you can’t go far wrong with Giorgio’s
