   We loved the concept of shared meals. The arancini was amazing but the tiramisu was very underwhelming. One suggestion is that the restaurant should add 2-3 more entrees to their menu which use a variety of proteins, rather than just beef and pork. Overall we would visit again.

   2nd visit on a busy Saturday night and it didn’t disappoint. Great service and delicious food (mostly). Only complaint was that the arancini and ham hock were both cold in the middle. We still enjoyed our meal though.

   A total surprise hidden gem. The food is outstanding! Tucked away in Ancoats has a lovely stylish interior and does this best arancini!! The pork cheek is delicious and we had the Primitivo wine which was lovely. Highly recommend

   Nice food, would avoid the garlic mushrooms tho, and the service was a bit lacking due to missing dishes from our order, having to ask for more drinks not being asked about deserts etc however I would recommend the place and will be back

   This is a real gem in Ancoats, fantastic authentic food made from scratch, absolutely delicious! Great friendly service from all staff and great passion from the chefs! This was recommended to me by friends and I can absolutely see why. Don’t miss this experience.

   Going in with lofty expectations, Bruco ended up being alright. The food came out quite staggered which left me slightly disappointed. I would've liked to have been able to eat my flatbread with my steak! The taste and presentation was great, but due to a long wait between plates arriving I was left feeling unsatisfied. It felt like they could've done with one more server in there. Some options were unavailable on the menu due to a busy weekend, which is understandable. Bruco would be a good date spot, or for a dinner where you want to prioritise talking to your guest. Bruco was worth going to, but probably won't be a high priority for me to return to.

   Food was generally good, flat bread was nice as was the pork cheek however overall I was a little underwhelmed given the reviews. Not helped by sitting next to the only toilet in the restaurant. So people constantly walking behind my partner and I was then subject to looking into the empty toilet if the door was not closed.

    It was our first time visiting here and we really enjoyed the experience. The good was great and the service was even better. I didn't get the blonde waitresses name but she was really friendly and attentive. We would recommend and come back again :)
