Puccini's - Salford

Today, we brought our grandson to this restaurant after watching Manchester United. The owner kindly took the time to show our grandson a list of all the famous footballers who have dined there. Our grandson was in awe and couldn't believe he was eating at the same place as stars like Beckham and the England team. The food was fantastic, and even though we are from Bristol, we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for your hospitality. - The Mall family

We went for my youngest 16th birthday meal .we didn't mention this at booking .we all loved the food and atmosphere and on chatting was asked if we were there for a special occasion and replied my daughter's birthday .we were then surprised by a celebration desert with candle with staff and the owner coming to wish her a happy birthday.it was such a lovely heartfelt surprise and really made our evening.its very clear that the staff are like a family there and you can tell with the great genuine atmosphere.couldnt have had a better evening anywhere else.thanks so much see you soon

I had my daughters christening here in 2020 and the food was superb, we came back after lockdown and it was terrible. I thought I’d give it another go today with my daughter. We orders, olives, garlic bread and ribs for starters, spag Bol and the Christopher penne. The food was dire nothing like it’s hay day. Most certainly nothing like traditional Italian food like it use to be. Will never be back. On a positive wine nice and staff friendly. Very expensive for location and standard of food. £18 for a starter and nearly £20 for a small pasta dish that had fillet steak in it, that’s a Joke more like over cooked rump. I understand cost of living increases and trying to claw back money from lock down. Had the food been amazing would not even mention the price

We don 't go to Puccinis every month or even every year but when we do go for a special occasion the food has always been great and the service attentive from Michael and his team. We started going to the restaurant when they used to be where Halifax building society is on the precinct and if a table wasn 't available you had to wait in the basement having drinks . They moved down to the lower level of the precinct after a few years and expanded again . Over the years we have had great times there and reading recent reviews was a little worried and thought it had changed hands . Well last night 's meal and experience didn’t disappoint. We took visiting family for dinner , booked a table for 6.15pm for 4 and got a warm welcome from Michael on arrival, he asked if anyone was celebrating anything , no . I know from past experience if anyone is they will bring out a little something with candle and sing Happy birthday . We had great service all night , the staff checking if we needed anything . The food was hot and tasty and our family were impressed and gave it all a 10/10. Puccinis is still in good hands and we will not hesitate to return.

We went for my brothers birthday and the food was absolutely stunning but was really slow! the staff aren’t very welcoming and the owner of it is very distant. there is no parking. if you tell them it’s a birthday, they will give you a little profita roll and ice cream and sing happy birthday to you (on the house) but, the family next to us were also celebrating a birthday and brought in a cake to the restaurant to ask them to present that instead so, the birthday song came on and they brought out the cake and it ended up going to the wrong table- ours.. my brother (being a young child) was over the moon with this massive ice cream cake and didn’t question a thing (as it was his bday) but the staff then embarrassingly walked up to us and took the cake to then give us the tiny SINGULAR profita roll. my brother was in distraught for the staff to then go over to the other family and ALL sing the happy birthday song happily (which they did not do with my brother)
