Opening its doors in 1984, this small Italian dining haven in Manchester has a rich history and multiple accolades, proudly standing as an independent establishment. Located in the vibrant Ancoats, once referred to as Little Italy in the late 1800s, Don Giovanni pays homage to the Italian immigrants who embraced this Manchester community.
Made from the hearts of the families of Little Italy over three decades ago, Don Giovanni emerged as a forerunner of introducing authentic Italian cuisine to the people of Manchester. Here, you can lose yourself in an Italian journey where freshness, quality, and genuine Italian flavours take centre stage in every dish that has been crafted in an open plan kitchen.
Walking down Oxford Street, you'll witness the culinary spectacle of Don Giovannis through their recently installed marble window theatre. From handcrafted pasta to mouth watering pizzas and delicious desserts, each creation is a testament to the team’s commitment to serving up authentic Italian food.
Antipasti is the start of your journey at this restaurant, and there is a selection of antipasti and insalata dishes, which all serve as the perfect start to your main course. The pasta mains are all designed to fill up your belly with delicious, good ingredients. Each dish works well with the restaurant's seafood products such as lobster, salmon and crab to make for authentic Italian flavours. If you fancy yourself more of a pizza lover, you'll be delighted by the stone baked pizza menu, which includes all authentic Italian ingredients. When it comes to steak at Don Giovannis, each is cooked in a Josper oven at 400 degrees. This oven smokes and cooks each steak is cooked to perfection, from cattle locally reared on grass farms around the Macclesfield area.
