    Amazing dinner tonight at Linguine Restaurant. The staff were so welcoming and kind. When I ordered the food came out so fast and it was so hot and fresh. The staff were consistent in checking that everything was perfect for me. The food was so tasty, amazing portion size and really fair affordable prices. Loads of options for gluten free, vegetarians and kids options ๐Ÿ˜Š when I return to Manchester I will definitely be returning ๐Ÿ˜Š

    This place is a treasure for those on a budget. It's not fancy, but everyone who come in seem to be treated like a regular or close friend. We came in for an early bird dinner after securing a time slot of 5:15 with notice to vacate the table by 6:30. That's fine as that's plenty of time for a table of two. You get to choose from the main menu with dishes labelled with (eb) by the side. 2 courses for ยฃ9.95!! And 3 courses for ยฃ13.95!!! Yes, that's right. It's not a typo. Sorry I was hungry and forgot to take the pictures of the starters, but I can assure you it was just as nice as the main and dessert. The final verdict is. You don't always get what you pay for, because sometimes you get that little something special. The restaurant industry needs to survive, but they also know the customers are facing a financial crunch too. They didn't raise the prices to increase revenue. They just added more table and chairs and an extra sitting so that they can work harder and still allow the majority to enjoy this gratifying meal.

    My boyfriend and Iโ€™s favourite and MUST go to restaurant in Sale (arguably manchester too). Food and service is incredible every time and can never fault this restaurant! Easily accessible via tram station/buses from surrounding areas and city centre of MCR! My recommendations would be the bottle of primitivo, goat cheese starter with focaccia followed by any of their amazing pastas finishing with the cheesecake - canโ€™t go wrong!

    Went here first to check out the "#1 rated restaurant in Sale" and it did not disappoint! I just brought my whole family and they loved it. The service is fast and friendly, food exceptional all-round from starters to desserts, they recommended a wine to suit the meal and it was delicious - all for a very reasonable price (especially if you make the early bird menu!).

    Great little place. Cozy. Charming. Inviting. Very helpful staff. Very clean. Excellent food. Excellent prices. Early bird offer was a find for us. Spent a night in Sale waiting for the next morning early flight from Manchester Airport. It just happened all other restaurants nearby were closed on Monday (be aware). Just under 10 pounds for a starter and a main of superb quality and presentation. Highly recommend.

    A delightful restaurant, Linguines' offers the best of Italian cuisine. I wondered about the the 5 star rating on the front door but was not disappointed. A warm welcome was given and staff were attentive. We'll worth a visit.

    It is a rare and wonderful thing to find a truly excellent restaurant. Linguine is one of those such restaurants. The food was superb. The waitstaff were charming, attentive and convivial. The prices were extremely reasonable. The overall experience was sublime. It is the best restaurant I've been to in years and quite probably the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. I couldn't recommend it more.

    Today I went to Linguine for my best friends 21st birthday meal. There were 9 of us in total and the staff at the restaurant made sure to seat us on a large table with plenty of space. The table was very clean and set up lovely. The staff were very welcoming and friendly from the get go. The staff made sure that nobody was left without a drink and would regularly ask if we needed anything else. The waiting time for food was short and the food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The food portions were very generous and very good for the price! The staff also brought out a birthday cake and everyone sang happy birthday. It was a lovely meal for my friends birthday all thank you to the staff at the restaurant. They definitely made our evening. I will be returning:) Thank you so much for such a wonderful night.

    It was on. Very rushed.

  • 4/5 Andrew V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great evening and perhaps the only criticism is the restaurant is a victim of its own success. I felt a bit crammed in and too close to other tables. Can't fault the lovely, friendly, hardworking staff. The food is great and they serve good portions.

  • 5/5 Jon G. 4 years ago on Google
    Like this little place very much.

  • 5/5 David X. 4 years ago on Google
    As there are so many good reviews on google, I thought we give it a try, not a big fan of Italian restaurants in Manchester, as most of them arenโ€™t taste anything like Italian food at all. But this one is totally different, the food was top and could fault the service as well. It was a busy Friday night, but we have the food on our table less than 15 mins. Definitely will come back and recommend.

  • 5/5 Leung Ka Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is very friendly. The food is really nice and very good for value (ยฃ12.95 for 3 course meal) Had pizza and pasta which are all very good :)

  • 5/5 Trevor R. 2 years ago on Google
    I went here about 4 months ago, and had the most fantastic experience. We had come in without a reservation, for a table of 6 on a Saturday night, and they said there was a table but we'd have to be an hour. Their service was second to none. They did everything they could to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and bubbly, and the food was outstanding - all three courses. Absolutely incredible. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

  • 5/5 Emma B. 2 years ago on Google
    Second time, I'm giving this restaurant a 5* review. This time they made me feel very special on my birthday. Great service, delicious food, very reasonable prices (especially on early bird menu). Was enjoyed by children, parents and grandparents. Will come again soon.

  • 5/5 Melanie 7. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been meaning to post this review for weeks but kept forgetting and remembered because I've booked to go to the restaurant tonight! We ordered a takeaway from Linguine a few weeks ago and we eat kind of later in the evening. It was through Deliveroo. The restaurant called me and said that they were closing because they were quiet and had called off the drivers. So instead of just cancelling our order, they cooked it still and delivered it to us personally on their way home!! Now that is looking after your local customers! So I will absolutely support them buy being a loyal customer too. The food was fresh, deliciously tasty and hot. Above and beyond for sure. Thank you Linguine and see you tonight at 8pm for 2! (I can taste it already ;) ) Melanie

    Very welcoming staff, the waiter canโ€™t do enough for you. Compliments to the chefs as the food is AMAZING. Portion size & prices are great, the presentation and quality of meal was 5* for us. Great food & staff thank you.

  • 5/5 Umayr A. 1 year ago on Google
    Was the first time we visited Linguine and we were a little worried going in with two kids under 4 as the restaurant was full and compact. But after mentioning we'd like the starters served ASAP, surely enough they arrived not long after and staff were always on hand. The food was tasty, portions were good, and was reasonably priced.

  • 4/5 Laurie S. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here for our Works night out. There was about 16 of us and we all got the early bird service. Service was decent, and we were made to feel welcome. Food was good quality, the mussels in lemon butter were delicious! Price was very reasonable considering. Good atmosphere and I can see why it is highly recommended. I would definitely go back with the team. My only suggestion would be to serve pints rather than bottles!

  • 5/5 Jayesh M. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent. Hidden gem in Sale. Food and service is brilliant. Food is delicious. Their homemade Tiramisu is something you can eat all day long. Very cist. Will be going back.

  • 5/5 Phil J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, good portions, very attentive and friendly staff. Early bird special provides excellent value - highly recommend and will return.

  • 5/5 Roxie C. 10 months ago on Google
    Our first visit most certainly wonโ€™t be our last. The staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming to say the least. The food was next level. Iโ€™ve been looking for a decent Italian for a while now and to find this one just on our doorstep was a wonderful little surprise. We most certainly will be returning in the not so distant future for some more fine dining!

  • 5/5 Terry C. 3 months ago on Google New
    We (8 of us) enjoyed Christmas dinner at Linguine for the first time. Service was well organised, attentive and welcoming. All 3 courses were absolutely delicious. Starters - We tried everything from the homemade fishcake to the chicken terrine and butternut squash soup, all of which were fresh and really tasty. Mains - the turkey was melt in the mouth, the sirloin was outstanding and the salmon to die for. Dessert - everything was amazing, in particular the homemade cheesecake. All the staff were friendly and happy. A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Day meal. At ยฃ60 per head, the experience represented extremely good value for money. Well done and thank you.

  • 5/5 Hollie R. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a lovely little Italian. Delicious pizza and pasta, very good service! Was very impressed, we popped in on the off chance but thoroughly enjoyed. The pasta sauce was amazing and the people were so accommodating.

  • 2/5 Antonio A. 2 months ago on Google New
    Finally got to visit here recently and looked really forward to it having read all the great reviews. But wow, what a let down to say the least! Poor food; taste and quality was average at best (thatโ€™s being kind). Odd staff who are inattentive and careless. Not the cleanest of restaurants either which is further confirmed by an unpleasant smell in/on the way to the toilet/walking past the kitchen. And to wrap it all up not one Italian person in sight staff wise so zero authenticity overall!

  • 5/5 Angie G. 3 months ago on Google New
    This is a fabulous cozy place. The early bird offer menu till early eve is a must! Zana is so caring of my mother Maria and invited her for Christmas. Always full so book, and great atmosphere, we'll be back!

  • 3/5 rachael n. 5 years ago on Google
    Fair prices for average to nice food, service from the only waiter during our dinner was terrible, kept waiting and over charged for soft drinks, had to complain and was dealt with but in an embarrassing way, would rate 4-5 on food and restaurants otherwise

  • 5/5 Sam S. 3 years ago on Google
    Oh wow. . . This intimate space is by far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to! I'm not a fan of Italian food, but the options available suited me perfectly! Would recommend anything seafood (prawns in particular) and for sure the steak! (The T-bone special was to die for!) Please give this place a try!

  • 5/5 mahius19 4 years ago on Google
    Early bird menu is crazy valie for money, service and friendliness was top notch, they made an error on the bill that was quickly sorted and we got free shots on the house. My only regret was that we couldn't leave a tip since I had no change in my wallet. 10/10 would dine again

    From the moment you walk in you are looked after. The staff are excellent, regularly checking up to make sure everything is good, the timing of the service is spot on. Aneese the main host is superb. Then the food is spot on, presentation satisfaction and portion for the price is perfect. I would highly recommend this lovely place

  • 3/5 Christina S. 4 years ago on Google
    Saturday 8th February 2020. I booked a table for 9 friends for my birthday for the early bird menu. Although the food was fabulous, we were disappointed by the service which was rushed to say the least! Before we had finished the desserts the bill arrived and then our coats!! We felt as though the staff just got us out as fast possible! Will not return.
