The Best Restaurants in Swinton, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

This place is a real deal Italian restaurant… they are clearly passionate about everything they do. Every person on our table of 6 fully enjoyed what they ordered. This was our first visit, won’t be our last. Thank you.

Amazing food , lovely atmosphere and the staff are exceptional. Nicest Italian food , wine and coffee.

What a lovely restaurant! I've never been here before and will be going again. Very welcoming and relaxed. A full house. Attention to detail is second to none. The staff went the extra mile. Food is out of this world. A good choice of wines and beers. I would highly recommend to others. It's best to book a table to avoid disappontment.

We had our first meal at this restaurant tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff who were attentive to our needs. A really nice touch was when the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us how our food was. This is something I've only seen on TV before, but it was a really personal and thoughtful gesture that made me feel valued as a customer. The food was also delicious and flavorful. We had pizza, carbonara and risotto and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed. We also had the tiramisu and chocolate fudge cake both were delicious. The price of the food is a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food and the excellent service. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!

nice clean restaurant. we can't complain about the food there is great and tasty from home. and from my family. Michael & his Wife..has 5*****. plus we celebrated a birthday there and also a wedding anniversary and everything was prepared and as it should be, the people there are friendly thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I had an amazing meal at Puccini, where I tried the pasta with chicken and mushrooms, made by the owner, Michele. The dish was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and fresh ingredients. Michele’s personal touch made it even more special. Highly recommend! 🍝❤️

Came as a party of 7 on Thursday evening. The service was great and the staff were helpful. Large menu so lots of choice and everybody enjoyed the food. Excellent value for money. We didn't mention it was a birthday meal, but the staff noticed the birthday presents and brought over a dessert for them and sang which was a very nice touch. Will definitely be back

A really great traditional Italian restaurant. Amazing garlic bread and sumptuous garlic chilli spaghetti. Great red wine 2. Would highly recommend.

Lovely fresh food! The pizza was amazing! We have a salon down the road and highly recommend xxx

And today we came back 🫶🙈but we live far from that place 45minutes,but whatever because really so good😍😍😍and the drink fantastic🥰you can feel the really cherry taste,so we bought 2more...and the staff very lovely🫶😍thanks for the girls...we come soon

Ate here on Boxing Day as a treat and I will be going back! The portion sizes are incredible for the price and it was all quality. Highly recommend!

Seventeen from our bowling club came for an end of season meal. The lad who served us was fantastic as always, making sure we all had our main meal at the same time. Great value for money and the food was delicious.

We ate downstairs & had a superb homemade burger amongst other things from their own butchers. Be aware of the service charge. The pub has a very traditional feel with a large oval wooden bar, uniformed waiters, high ceilings & immaculate mirrors. Best of all for me though was the choice of a very well kept pint of Beamish ( very hard to come by in these parts or indeed anywhere these days). Its a far superior stout to the overly marketed, overly hyped but cleverly advertised you know who. Would definitely try more food & Beamish here next time I'm here.

Great team of both bar staff and kitchen. No matter what your ask, nothing is too much trouble! Great atmosphere and fab food, reasonably priced. Dogs welcome too. Seating area at the front for al fresco evenings. Really rate it here.

We love vintage ambiance. I used to visit here a lot a few years ago, but hadn’t visited again until recently and I was very surprised. Me and my family went for the first time again a few weeks ago and we have returned every weekend since. Their iced coffees are so delicious. We haven’t had chance to try too many of the breakfasts yet, but the pancakes and scrambled egg with chorizo are both gorgeous. The staff are lovely and friendly.

Our first visit and definitely won’t be our last! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing staff! Presentation is beautiful 😍 Thank you for a lovely birthday breakfast! 10/10 from us! See you again soon! X

Really nice place, the food was good, lovely and friendly staff and pretty place!

Perfect brunch spot with a beautiful interior. Excellent Bloody Mary, and the loaded waffles were delicious, shout out to the sausage patties. Great service and experience overall.

Big fan of the sushi Sunday, £18 for all you can eat sushi from the selected menu. Freshly made, packed, flavoursome rolls. Managed to get two helpings in the 90 minute window.

I loved the food. It was incredible. I went for my birthday and I got a surprise cakes

AUTISM FRIENDLY Went here for an evening out for my partners birthday. The lady who served us was SO kind and understanding. She made sure we had a nice quiet table so that my daughter with autism felt comfortable and spent some time asking if we needed anything extra, and was so kind about it! The food was delicious and we had a lovely evening- thank you

Tried Flaiva for the first time after watching a recent review. They even offered a 50% discount on the first order you place too which is really good and shows that they obviously back their food and are certain you will come back for more...they aren't wrong. I tried 2 boxes (the Peri Peri and the Jerk box). The Peri Peri was the clear winner for me out of these 2 but I'm definitely going to try some of the others. The Peri Peri chips were a delight (the Mrs even dipped into those and said how good they were). The rice was flavourful and the chicken was nice. I actually preferred the jerk chick over the Peri, but the dumplings were just OK, the rice wasn't as tasty either. The jerk one came with jerk gravy, but again, nothing special there. It was good but it wasn't great like the Peri. Even my kids dipped into these and they won't normally touch anything that looks like it's been anywhere near a vegetable or sauce other than Ketchup... I would recommend you give this place a try especially if you can use the 50% off offer which makes the value for money unparalleled.

Tried all the menu & now I can say that you can't find better food then Flaiva anywhere in Manchester. I'm in love with it❣️

Came from North Wales and stayed in Manchester for the weekend and had to try this place only 15 minutes away from the heart of Manchester. The food was delicious and fresh with decent portion sizes as well. Each dish had wonderful authentic flavours that were a treat for the soul! The staff were very attentive and friendly as well. 10/10 across the board I can’t wait to come back in the future for another pleasant dining experience.

Another great addition to the Swinton dining scene. Imjang opened a couple of weeks ago and we decided we'd give it a try. I'm so glad we did because what we found was a place with really great Thai food and great service from the staff. I've uploaded some photos here. The food is so well presented and as tasty as it looks. It was fairly quiet when we went but I'm sure that when the word on how good this place is gets out it will be very busy! We will certainly be back :)

Very kind owner. Respectful and considerate. Beautiful food and a good temperature. Portion sizes are excellent. Will be coming again with friends for sure. Came today and the owner was patient and welcoming of the young child with us also.

Came for my work's christmas party. I was initially very nervous as upon checking the allergens, I found out I was allergic to almost everything on the menu. The server and kitchen were very accommodating and I managed to order what I fancied with the kitchen making it allergen free. The aubergine curry was the best curry I've ever had! I got a colour changing mocktail that had great novelty value. I thought it tasted awful but my colleagues loved it, so don't take my word for it. The outdoor area is on the waterfront and has a wonderful view, as well as covering and heating for when it's cold. Definitely make sure you give this place a go

Steven the General Manager was super helpful. It was great to see him mucking in and taking orders etc. Just how a GM should be. Miles was great and looked after us brilliantly. A brilliant bar, fabulous atmosphere and wonderful cocktails. Will definitely be back

Great cocktail bar, went for food and drinks before a show, service was brilliant to start but as it got busier we weren't able to get attention of our server. When they were with us though really friendly, attentive and helpful! Food was brilliant and the cocktails are to die for! Amazing show cocktails, magic as they call it! Also gorgeous view of media city if you sit outside, perfect on a sunny day!

We had a lovely evening here. The menu is varied and the food was tasty. The service was good and the waiter had an excellent knowledge of the menu and the cocktails. Nice location, close to a tram stop.

We only discovered this place the other day and have been twice so far. Excellent food, good value, and friendly service

Lovely spot to eat at on this stretch. Decoration is great inside very nice vibe to it. Staff very friendly and service was excellent, including a very nice manager. Food and drinks fair price. Food was a little disappointing as not the best flavour compared to some other places. Still a good place to come overall.

It’s my second time dining here and I can tell you for a fact it’s a great spot. For food, ambience, everything!! Will be visiting again soon, I plan to taste their entire menu. Very affordable meals, gourmet style.

I came here for a Christmas Party with my colleagues and this was a really nice restaurant with great food choices, I liked the way they had some healthier options as well. I had sea bass as a main, and smoked salmon with asparagus as a starter which tasted great. The pink decor was gorgeous, and the live music and belly dancing addition was also pretty unique and fun. Service was standard, they accept cash as well as card. Prices are moderate. It was my first time to Monton but this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I would like to come again on a normal day and try the regular menu too.
