San Giorgio — Restaurant in Tameside

I recently had a chance to sample the food from this restaurant. I will give this review with the caution that perhaps my experience was affected by the restaurant being busy and the food being delivered.

To start I will say well done to the owners that there aren't charges for local delivery and prices are less for takeaway than in house. Very fair!

My initial course was calamari which, had I thought about it, perhaps wasn't the best choice for a takeaway. The coating was a bit greasy and the squid a bit rubbery. The garlic sauce was tasty, fresh and there was lots of it. I had 6 squid rings and a bit of salad for £5.90.

We ordered coleslaw that again was fresh, homemade and tasty. There was a variety of crunchy vegetables with an ok dressing.

For mains we had the Calzone Classic and the Anziano pizza. The calzone was well filled with ingredients and my guest really enjoyed the calzone and the accompanying tomato based sauce. There was lots of sauce and it was flavourful.

I had the pizza. I've been eating pizza for 50+ years and used to work in a pizzeria. Maybe I'm too critical. My pizza was a disappointment. First they changed ingredients and didn't tell me. It might not matter to some but getting capers when you ordered olives could really put some people off. Secondly the ingredients that were present were pretty sparse (3 slices of pepperoni for an 8 slice pizza). Thirdly the pizza arrived lukewarm.

Overall I think the restaurant is good. I am pretty sure that the in house experience would have been better. If I ordered again I would probably just have the calzone knowing how good it looked.

I would suggest that the owners check on what is being sent out since there is a lot of competition for takeaway pizza. I couldn't rate my experience as any more than average which seems a shame knowing the...

The food is okay, no issues there. but the restaurant menus where very dirty with black hand dirt all around the edges, sticky, wine marked and one of the groups had a lot grease inside, my one was burned in the corner as well. The plates on the table given when you first sit down are all marked black (looks very much like dirt and not cleaned properly same as the cutlery) we spent around £120 and would expect better from the restaurant owner.

It's very little money to refresh your menus own menus, just send the files to a print company they arrive in 3 days. the plates really need a refresher. These two areas you interact with makes the place feel complacent and gives a poor experience / doubt in their food.

(All this mentioned all an expense that comes off the company taxes anyway our meal alone would cover towards this) (Again the food is...

We were deliberating where to eat as it was my birthday so wanted something a bit special. Made a booking quite late in the day on a Friday. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table with a warm welcome. My wife and I had different starters but shared them, along with a garlic bread. We had the same main meal, which was from the specials board. All the food was excellent! The portions were fantastic and trust me I was hungry. Had an amazing bottle of Italian Rose Prosecco to wash it down.

Could not fault the service. I think we were served by 3 people overall and each were pleasant and obliging.

First time eating here and happy to say it will not be the last.

Thank you, you made...
