felicini - Didsbury

Caroline (5 October 2008)

We went there for lunch on a Sunday. The Italian bread with balsamic was nice for starters; I ordered the special of porcini mushroom risotto for my main course. To say it was under seasoned is an understatement. The service was great; the staff were friendly, attentive, and pleasant, so I felt a bit shy about complaining - the English disease. I would go again, but I would not order the same dish, and even if I did, I would really complain this time if it was not seasoned.

We were looking forward to a meal to celebrate our daughter's birthday. A table had been booked the week previous. Upon arrival, the five of us were shown a tiny round table in the bar area which was less than satisfactory. We were so crushed that one of us could not move the chair one inch. A party of Chinese/ Japanese arrived and were shown to the next table, stopping us from moving at all. We called the manager but he said very negatively it was all he had available. There was no mention of the seating arrangements at the time of booking. We got up and left, a lovely evening and celebration ruined. Make sure just where you are seated when you book.
