Babbo Cucina Italiana 1 Scholes Lane, Prestwich, Manchester M25 0PD

"We’ve visited twice this month and been very impressed both times. The manager is friendly and all staff are attentive. We’ve had a mixture of starters, pizzas and pastas recently and never had any issues. It’s a shame the place isn’t busier but for us it is a little on the expensive side so we can’t visit as often as we would like now the 50% off has ended."

"Adorable place, perfect service, delicious food. I’m satisfied 100%. Employees are very polite and friendly. ❤️"

"Lovely place we found as somewhere to eat on our way to a show at the Arena. Easy access off the M62. Food delicious, atmosphere and venue modern and fresh and the whole team really friendly. Food amazing. Highly recommended. UPDATE: We'll be going back as we've just booked another show at the Arena. See you again soon."

"So first time here. I ordered the liver pate was really tasty, but not enough bread for the amount of pate and jelly...my son ordered the king prawn starter, was okay but sauce was too salty so he picked prawns out and ate them without the soaked bread and sauce. Now here's the crux. I ordered a carbonara. Which is my favourite and i have ordered 100 times before in various restaurants. This time i was told by the possible owner of the restaurant, that the carbonara has pork. I said yes i know. My son and i are brown. I said i am Sikh. I know Muslims dont eat pork and i can only assume he pointed it out to ME specifically because he thought i dont eat pork. He then went on explaining that oh i like to make sure my customers ate happy and know blah blah blah. I watched people come in after us, order and not have the ingredients clarified for them. I didnt want to make a fuss because my son is only 12 and did not pick up on the clear racism, implying that if we are muslim we cannot eat the dish. Assuming we are muslim because im brown and my son is a haircut sikh. We ate our carbonara which he split into 2 plates as if he was doing us a massive favour (my son and i would just have shared from one bowl, as we had starters and neither of us are big eaters) but ok never mind. I was left with a feeling of unease and after that found it hard to relax. We ate and packed our dessert order, paid and left. I doubt i will go back, which is a shame, because my husband and other 3 children all live very locally and would have liked a good local italian. But as they all look like me and my 12 year old son, i dont want to be given unsolicited advice about what i may or may not be allowed to eat based on my skin colour."

"My partner and I went for our anniversary, the staff were really pleasant and attentive. Our food arrived really quickly and it tasted absolutely delicious. I had the rigatoni and my partner had the calzone, the beef in the rigatoni absolutely melted in your mouth it was beautiful, the dough on the calzone was so soft and perfectly cooked. My partner drank the house red which he said was the nicest house red he'd had in a long time and I had a Bellini (finally a place that actually knows how to make one!). Thank you to your staff for such a lovely night, the food, the decor, the drinks and the service were perfect."
