Thank you for the hospitality that I received when visiting your Media City restaurant last Friday for a pre-theatre meal. Food and Menu There is a simple menu that includes all the Italian and American classics that people love to eat. The choices are limited however it does cater for a range of diners from the Meat lover to the Vegetarian. In the Starters there is a Garlic Pizza Bread that is tasty with a great Garlic aroma. There is also American Style Nachos with Jalapeños and all the sauces to dip into. In addition, there is Calamari, Ribs and the Chicken Crunch too. In the Mains there is a great selection of Pizzas with good flavours. There are also additional toppings that you can add on for an extra charge. There is also a decent variety of Steak, Pasta, and Salad dishes for those that fancy them too. For the Burger fan there are some Beef Burgers and a Chicken Fillet one too. There is also a wide variety of sides that are a great addition to your meal from Chips, Sweet Potato Fries to Onion Rings and Garlic Bread too. For those with a sweet tooth then there is a selection of popular Desserts including the Warm Chocolate Brownie, Cheesecake and, Tiramisu that is creamy and indulgent to eat. If you like cold Desserts then there is Ice Cream and the Knicker Bocker Glory. For the Starters the Garlic Pizza Bread was tasty and moorish. It was soft in the middle with a bite on the edges. It was yummy. The Calamari was pleasant to eat but could have been cooked more as it was slightly rubbery to eat. For the Mains the Chicken Fillet Burger was perfectly cooked and it was beautifully presented. It was tasty and heart-warming to eat. The Salad and the Mayonnaise added more flavour. The Sweet Potato Fries were comforting to eat. They were crispy on the outside with soft fluffy Potato on the inside. I love how they are presented in a small pan dish. Cute. The Onion Rings were scrumptious. Their crispy batter was great on the outside with soft Onion pieces inside. It was a heart pleaser. For Dessert the Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream was heavenly to eat. The Brownie was cooked superbly. It was not hard to eat but it was runny with gooey and indulgent Chocolate. Yum. The Ice Cream was great too as it cut through the richness of the Chocolate adding texture. It was also stunning in presentation in which the Chocolate Brownie is in the middle of the plate with a lovely scoop of Ice Cream on top. Drinks They have a good selection of soft drinks which include all the popular ones to have. There is also a small variety of juices on offer too. However they do not serve non-alcoholic Mocktails. Service The service was good. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and accommodating. She gave us the time to choose our dishes. Her suggestions for food were spot on. It was good that the food came out pretty quickly and it was beautifully presented. Lighting and Access The lighting at this restaurant was pretty bright which allows for an enjoyable meal for most people including those with visual impairments. Entry to this restaurant is at the Holiday Inn Hotel to which there is a small step to enter into the building. Once inside there are stairs and lifts to get to the Mezzazine floor. This is where you will find the restaurant. There are no stairs inside as it is on one level. Furniture The furniture here is brilliant. I love the big tables which are spacious. The chairs are big and are comfortable to sit on. This gives a relaxed ambiance so that you can dine in style. Parking Parking is available at the Quayside Media City UK multi-storey car park (formerly The Lowry). If you are a Blue Badge holder then you will get 4 free hours when stamping your ticket. This takes effect from the time of arrival. Alternatively you can park at the Media City multi-storey which is closer to the venue. Pricing The pricing of the dishes at this restaurant are mid- range. However it is worth visiting once a while especially if the waiters are good, the food is tasty and that it is beautifully presented. If you love to eat Italian and American food within a relaxed atmosphere then head down to your local Marco’s.
Booked a pre theatre meal and it was first clas. Great food, nice atmosphere, excellent service from Jess. Would definitely recommend
We were staying in the hotel next door (holiday inn) and came for dinner. Service was amazing, we were served by Rada and nothing was too much trouble. A really lovely friendly lady and made our evening. I ordered Rib eye steak and salad with no tomatoes, came with loads of tomatoes not really an issue as I just left them (but a bit of a waste) the steak was delicious and cooked perfectly, blue cheese sauce was nice (but a tiny pot for £3,75 but never mind) My mum ordered the chicken fillet burger which she said was lovely but chips were luke warm she did enjoy it though. Dessert was the baked cheesecake it was nice but no wow factor and a bit bland. The sundae my mum had was just okay but had warm cream on top and over whipped and she didn’t really enjoy it. Overall just an ok meal, we was expecting a little more finesse for the brand of Marco Pierre White but felt it was very run of the mill and very chain like. We wouldn’t rush back to another MPW New York Italian.
The restaurant is attractive, with comfortable furnishing and is clean and modern. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The menu is very limited but we managed to choose a starter and a main, the starters were both good and served quickly, my main was the mac and cheese al funghi, which I didn’t actually eat as the pasta was very soggy, the sauce was not cheesy or flavoursome and the mushrooms were just dumped on top and not baked into the dish. My husbands pizza was perfectly fine but average. We felt that the food is overpriced for what it is, as it is very basic and not very authentically“Italian” and is a little like pub food. The drinks are very expensive but we are in centra Manchester so that was to be expected. The waitress forgot to bring my husbands beer but we were still charged for it when we got the bill. They did rectify this quickly however. All in our visit was okay but we wouldn’t visit again as we didn’t feel that the quality of the food was reflected by the price.
