We booked after a recommendation and were not disappointed. We were shown to our table quickly. Starters and main course for all 4 was an excellent standard. The duck Wellington was superb. The carpaccio starter stunning. Service was good and would recommend this place as excellent food and good value for money in a city centre restaurant.

I've visited olive press many times this year and would recommend it to anyone! If you can get a voucher for 40% off the bill this place is an absolute bargain! Service is always excellent-if you are looking for an Italian in Manchester which doesn't seem too much like a chain and isn't too crammed I would look no further.

After first eating here a number of years ago, and having raved to all and sundry about 'the best pizza I've ever eaten' I really wanted to make a return visit.

A night out with friends and colleagues. Good range of cocktails - some unusual ones but all excellent though the service was a little slow.

We ate here on Bank Holiday Monday and found the food to be bland and lacking in taste. The surroundings and staff were pleasant, however the disappointment was in the food: the sea salt and rosemary garlic bread lacked flavour although the marinated olives were good. The wine was ok, we chose the Italian Sauvignon and although it was served... More

This is an excellent restaurant near to Deansgate in Manchester. The food is very inexpensive and the amount of choice is daunting. The risotto was absolutely the best - there are various types of risotto to choose from and I had the crayfish saffron risotto - delicious. Good service and very pleasant atmosphere and they have lager on draught.

We had our anniversary meal here this evening and it was lovely from start to finish, food was great and we will be returning before our next anniversary.

went for my daughters birthday party with 20 others. First rate staff and management,they could not do enough for us.Lively but not s much that you cannot hear the peron next to you. Food very good value for money.
