Hale, Italian Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: “Home-style Italian dishes that are plentiful and utterly delicious” (“they regularly change the menu”) have carved a major name for this small, family-run venture near Altrincham Market, which also benefits from its “chatty and informed served”. “They have not got too big and arrogant – even though they have expanded to two sites now they have kept the quality, and I know as it’s two minutes from my house!”

Formerly a Piccolino, and popular with celebrity footballers, this restaurant is to be re-launched as the second Luciano in Gino D'Acampo's empire.
