Bruco, a gem in Ancoats, offers a warm welcome and impeccable service. With a well-thought-out menu, dishes like the "incredible food" and "best lasagne" steal the spotlight. The modern, cozy ambiance complements the "amazing" food, from arancini to tiramisu. A must-visit for a delightful dining experience.

£90 for 2 (including tip) for small plates and limited drinks seems on the expensive side - but the food was delicious. Service great, if a little eager to take away plates!

Really lovely restaurant. Great atmosphere, well decorated and the staff were very friendly. A great attribute to Ancoats eating scene. A couple of dishes were a bit ‘meh’. The tiramisu was a watery and not well formed. However, 75% were amazing. The short rib lasagne was incredible, as was the steak with cavello Nero. Solid 4/5. Just please make the tiramisu with thick cream and gran Marnier in a jar. Was a bit disappointing.

A fantastic addition to the Ancoats dining scene. Bruco has a classy yet welcoming and homely atmosphere. The food is exceptional. The menu is small, but perfectly formed. Fantastic drinks menu too. Can't fault it.

Dined at Bruco last night before heading to Co-op Live and can honestly say it was unbelievable! Each dish was to die for, shout out the slow cooked rib lasagne, arancini balls and prosciutto & peach. Can’t forget the tiramisu to finish, divine. Staff were lovely, very attentive and explained the menu when asked. Will definitely be coming back!
