Don Giovanni
Manchester’s oldest independent Italian restaurant, Don Giovanni, launched themselves onto Deliveroo this year amidst the pandemic with a whopping great big menu. They’ve got everything from a classic Spaghetti Carbonara to Lobster Spaghetti and Calamari. There is also Ravioli Aragosta and the indulgent Scaloppine Al Fung (veal escalopes with mushrooms and white wine cream). They also offer up a roast if you fancy that!
Sicilian NQ
From pasta to arancino and now pantry essentials, Sicilian NQ has plenty of perfect Sicilian delights. The deli stocks all sorts from Sicilian Farm Olive Oil, homemade pasta sauces, pastry treats and ready-made cocktails. You can also grab wine and Prosecco or build your own Christmas hamper for gifting.
Sugo Pasta Kitchen
Probably the best pasta dishes in all the land are available for delivery on Deliveroo at Sugo’s Altrincham venue – so if you’re in the area – you lucky, lucky sods. You can’t really go wrong with their classic ‘House Sugo’ – orecchiette pasta with a beef shin, pork shoulder and nduja ragu. Mega.
