Situated in the heart of Manchester on 17 Trafford Road, The Stresa at the Ramada Manchester, takes its name from 'Stresa', a narrow strip of land on the edge of Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy. Although a touch inconspicuous from outside, it is very spacious and elegant from within, with emphasis on natural lighting and comfortable, minimalistic surroundings. The restaurant serves simple and wholesome food reminiscent of exotic dishes with ingredients sourced from local Manchester and Cheshire based food suppliers.

The kitchen team have come up with a varied menu that includes traditional tomato and basil brushetta; salads of king prawn and char-grilled chicken; contadina and Hawaiian pizzas, seafood calzone and chicken breast rossini. A variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian pastas and risottos are also available, among which is Stresa?s very own special oven baked meat lasagne. An assortment of breads and dips accompany the meal, together with various liquors and fine Italian wines, taking diners through a journey of genuine Italian hospitality.
