Linguine (old)

Very bright and inviting; lovely food and attentive staff. A thoroughly enjoyable experience in a leafy lane, just on the fringe of Sale town centre. A must for any foodie!

Four people for dinner 6-8pm. Had a great time, very nice service, lovely food and reasonably priced. Obviously we will return in the near future I hope.

I book Linguine's for last Sat night as I had been there before with a friend about six months ago and had a nice meal and the food was great. I took my family this time , two adults and two children ( teenagers ) . We booked as its normally really busy but this Sat it was really quiet . We were given a table that was near the bar area so I asked could we taken another table as it wasn't a great place people walking past all the time . They then went to put us on the table right next to the door when there was a table closer to the window and away from the door so I did ask could we have this one and they were happy to give it to us so that was fine . We then waited for someone to come and take our drinks order for about 10 mins. both my children only drink water so I asked for a jug of water and had to wait over 15 mins to get it and asked four times . In the end I had to get the managers attention to ask for the water. I could understand if it was a cocktail and they were really busy ! When the food finally came it was ok the starter was nice - ribs and garlic bread. Both children had Pizza which was ok but wouldn't rush back for one if im honest I have had better from the supermarket so was disappointed. We had a chicken salad and had to ask for the dressing which seemed to be missing which they did bring in the end. The service was slow and the food was ok but nothing great and wouldn't rush back which is a shame as the last time I went it was lovely . When we paid the bill the lady came over with a bottle of wine and apologies for the service and the delays which was nice of her but didn't change the fact that the over all experience was poor. I think they must have had new staff or new owner not sure but wouldn't rush to go back at this stage .

Excellent meal on our first visit to Linguine's helped to mark our sons 18th birthday celebrations. Good friendly service and excellent food, we will return.

Excellent food, in my opinion the best Italian in Manchester. My only gripe was the table placement near the door, this seating was cold and cramped.

We really love this restaurant. The food is wonderful and it has a personal friendly feeling that you don't find in many places these days. This time I had these amazing polenta fritas and garlicky dip to start with. Just so delicious and herby. If you book on line we would recommend double checking your reservation by phone, as its popularity means it could be oversubscribed at busy times. Truly it is well worth treating yourselves and cracking open a bottle of Prosecco!:))

Great food, great service! What more could you want? Wine recommendation from the Manager was superb at a brilliant price. You need to go and experience this place.

Lovely food as always and brilliant service from staff - would recommend for any and all occasions. Will definitely be going back again very soon.

Lovely authentic Italian Restaurant. The food is fantastic and great value. The restaurant is quite small and always busy so I would definitely recommend booking.

We booked for new year, myself partner and 4 year old daughter, first of all the food was very good and presented very well. But not all of the menu was on and the children menu was very limited, you would of thought with it being new year you would be prepared. Staff didn't really listen to concerns and did't address anything, the place was obviously overbooked and people were being asked to move table to accommodate other people, i noted one couple moved twice. we felt like were being rushed to get out, which wasn't a nice end to out new year tea out. they also got the bill completely wrong.

We are regular visitors to Linguine. We love it !! The food is excellent and the service is warm and friendly. The only suggested improvement would be to update the dessert menu - they are lovely but the same choices have been on there for a while now.

Unfortunately there was a number of large parties so we were given two round tables for four people squashed in. Also very noisy. Food and service good and that's what really matters.

Excellent food and great service as always at Linguine. We are regulars to this restaurant and would recommend to anybody who is wanting fantastic Italian food at a very good price!

Tremendous night, fab food, service , great value for money . Will definitely be going again ! Amazing choice of menu . Cannot fault anything .

Excellent service and food never had a bad meal here . Would recommend this restaurant to friends and family very busy on a Friday and Saturday if you want more ambience go on a Sunday or a week night
