Piccolo - Manchester
Piccolo is a popular restaurant, not only for its handy Arndale location but also for its glam aesthetic; you'll find black and white photographs fixed to shabby-chic, white-washed brick walls, lush green leather seats and golden lights framed by dainty cages. It's also famed for whipping up some delightful Italian food inspired by Positano, Naples and Southern Italy: everything from seafood linguine with wild red prawns, mussels, clams and calamari to calzone and affogato.
