"My husband and I visited Felicini at 5pm on Saturday, it was a pre-theatre meal. The Palace Theatre is just opposite the restaurant, so a perfect place to eat beforehand. At first we were a little wary of going in, as on the entrance door there was an advertisement for chefs of all brigades, so as you can imagine we were a little worried about the food quality. However, I can positively say, the food was fantastic but just a little pricey. We shared one of the best starters we have ever had in a Manchester restaurant, the Piatto Grande di Antipasto for £12, it was gorgeous. The one problem we did have was that there was no house wine on the menu, so the bottle we ordered was a Merlot for £15, which is usually more than we would pay, however it really complemented the meal. For a main meal, I had the Carbonara which was beautifully presented with a poached egg and fried Parma Ham on top, although it was a bit too rich and I couldn't finish the dish. My husband had the Spicy Sausage Pasta that was also delicious. The restaurant has a nice relaxed atmosphere. There were a few children in there, which was to be expected at that time of day, but I have to say they were well behaved. There was also a BOGOF offer on cocktails (available everyday from 5pm to 7pm), but to our disappointment there was nothing on the table advertising this and we only overheard the waiter on the way out telling this to another table, we would have stayed later otherwise. Overall, we can't wait to go back again!" -
