They have a gluten free menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are very careful with coeliac disease and made sure my food was cooked separately.

I went to eat at Zizzi, the place is very nice, and the food was delicious. They have gluten-free pasta and pizza, which is a plus because one of my relatives is celiac. The only complaint is that the restaurant was almost empty, with only 3 or 4 tables at most, and they took a long time to bring us the food.

Booked by my daughter who’s Coeliac as this is one of the few places she can eat in Manchester. We ate our way through much of the menu, all of which was great, of course daughter could only have the GF options. Left room for puddings which we agreed were delicious. Washed down with a large jug of sangria the restaurant ground floor is popular and bustling - even at 6pm on Saturday evening - so best to book. Staff were very friendly and attentive

I really only go to Mowgli and the cocktail bar in the middle and I absolutely love both. Mowgli has a great selection of food including vegetarian and gluten free options and the cocktail bar has 2 for 1; cocktail all day everyday. What is not to like about them. A bit pricey, but it is the centre of Manchester.

This restaurant gave me the worst experience ever. Never ever go back there. Don't waste your money to go to this place. I went there on Easter sunday and on the menue it is clearly said 2-4-1 cocktails Sunday to Friday all day long and after I got the manager to explain to me why I m getting charged twice for drinks, she told that because of Easter sunday the offer doesn't apply which should be explained at the beginning and staff weren't even aware of that. I have lactose and gluten intolerance and after placing my order, I was informed that they can't accommodate my dietary needs so I asked for refund to go elsewhere and the rude manager didn't even want to give my money back. I'm so disappointed.

Me and my partner went to Pizza Express earlier this evening and it’s safe to say I will not be returning. Our food came out at the same time but there was a clear difference in the presentation and size. My partners pizza took up his whole plate, had plenty more toppings and looked more edible. Mine on the other hand was a whole different story. The pizza was no larger than my hand, barely had any cheese and the pepperoni was burnt to a crisp. I believe this is because of my celiac which is unacceptable considering this is an autoimmune disorder that cannot be helped. The service was unsatisfactory, this may have been because the restaurant was busy, but no guest should have to wait 15 minutes to get the bill considering there were plenty of waiters around. Despite this, we were seated fairly quickly, the food came out not long after we ordered and my partner enjoyed his pizza and dough balls very much.

Molly was attentive, always making sure we had drinks and giving us information on the new cocktails (which sounded amazing) the so 90s cocktail is one on my favourite now . The manager was so helpful with my gluten allergy and so many options . Thankyou so much .
