"I've been looking forward to visiting this place after hearing good reviews from friends - one who came with me - and left apologetic, vowing not to revist. After wating unattended for 2 or 3 minutes at the door, the manager/head waiter eventually showed us to a table. To cut a long story short, our food arrived with us 45 minutes after ordering it and there wasn't a waiter to be seen for the most of the meal - I tell a lie, the manager/head waiter seemed to be stood around acting too important to get his hands dirty by helping out. We never complained however there were a few people on other tables within earshot who did. With the restaurant being based opposite the Palace Theatre, Green Room and Cornerhouse Cinema, this place really needs to understand the importance of pre-show fast service. When it eventually arrived, the food was nice - my Duck Pizza was a wonderful take on Chinese Crispy Duck, although my Green Salad, which came without any dressing, was a little bit brown - no excuse considering they are based next door to Sainsburys!" - Neil, Manchester - 10/10/06 (visited on a Sunday evening)

"Tasty food with nice big portions"

I've been to Felicinis twice. The first time I had the Gnocci, which was obviously cooked the day before as I nearly lost a tooth! It was dry and hard and dripping in oil, it didn't sit well on my tummy and I left still hungry. The basil and tomato bread was nice as was our waiter and waitress, very polite. The second time I went I order the Pizza Rossa, it came complimented with a curly black hair, gross! I didn't complain as it was lunctime and we didn't have time, but I wish I had as the staff were quite inpolite and rude throughout the meal. I won't be going their again, 2/10" - Rosie, Manchester - 29/9/06 (visited on a Thursday lunchtime)
