La Nostra Storia

Cooking the way
nonna did it.

Osteria Vicolo was born from a simple idea — that the best Italian food isn't found in fancy restaurants with long menus. It's found at a kitchen table in a small village, made with whatever the season offers, cooked slowly and eaten together.

We opened in Manchester's Northern Quarter in 2017 with 28 covers and a handwritten menu that changes every week. Same philosophy today. We make everything from scratch every morning — pasta, sauces, bread — and we won't serve anything we wouldn't eat ourselves.

Why Vicolo

Made with intention.

🌿
Seasonal Ingredients
Menu changes weekly based on what's best. Local suppliers, Italian imports — the best of both.
🍝
Fresh Pasta Daily
Every strand made by hand every morning. We don't serve pasta that wasn't made today.
🍷
Italian Wine List
Carefully chosen regional wines. Natural, biodynamic, and classic — something for every table.

Private Dining
The whole restaurant for your party. Set menus, wine pairings, staff — we take care of everything.
What Guests Say

Parole dei nostri ospiti

★★★★★
"The cacio e pepe was the best I've had outside of Rome. Genuinely. The pasta was perfect and the atmosphere felt like a proper Italian trattoria — warm, noisy, full of life."

"We brought family visiting from Bologna and even they were impressed — which tells you everything. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip. Came back twice in the same week."

"Booked the private dining room for my wife's birthday. The set menu was incredible, the staff were brilliant and they even brought out a surprise cannoli with a candle. Perfect night."
