Description
Bold, flamboyant and unmistakably fun, Circolo Popolare Manchester is the Big Mamma Group’s high‑octane Italian celebration in the heart of the city. True to the brand’s signature style, the space is a maximalist dream: think walls stacked with bottles, lavish interiors, buzzing energy and a soundtrack that keeps the mood sky‑high from lunch right through to late‑night plates. It’s designed for groups, birthdays and big nights out, with an atmosphere that’s as much part of the experience as the food.
The menu is pure Italian comfort cooking, served with theatrical flair. Handmade pastas, towering bowls of truffle‑laden classics, slow‑cooked meats and outrageously generous sharing dishes all take centre stage, alongside pizzas made with carefully sourced Italian ingredients. Desserts are equally over‑the‑top: expect indulgent sweets designed to be photographed almost as much as they are eaten, especially the restaurant’s famously dramatic tiramisu service.
Circolo Popolare is owned by the Big Mamma Group, the cult restaurant collective founded in Paris and now loved across Europe for its joyful, produce‑driven approach to Italian food. While it’s not about Michelin stars here, the restaurant’s reputation is built on atmosphere, generosity and quality ingredients flown in directly from small Italian producers. It’s loud, unapologetic and perfect for anyone who likes their dining experiences big, bold and seriously good fun.
