Prezzo Italian Restaurant Manchester Media City

You're in Salford Quays now, surrounded by glass buildings and the BBC, and Prezzo slots in nicely amongst the suits and weekend families. It's got that dependable chain energy—you know what you're getting, and frankly, that's not a bad thing when you fancy uncomplicated Italian without the theatrics. The menu's straightforward: decent risottos, proper wood-fired pizzas, and pasta that won't embarrass anyone. It's the sort of place you take your mum to, or grab a weeknight dinner before heading to the Lowry. Nothing revolutionary, but the food lands, and the service generally keeps pace.
