   Outstanding, we both had such a good visit. It was our first time and we were so impressed, I think it’s by far the best meal I’ve had in a very long time and I can’t faint any aspect of it, the atmosphere, the venue, the server Kya was extremely helpful and friendly and she explained everything is such detail, the soft drinks we ordered were gorgeous - orange and grapefruit soda! And last but certainly not least the food was just phenomenal and exceeded every expectation, we had room for dessert as well and the tiramisu and olive oil gelato were chefs kiss! Loved it and booked again for April this time with my partner- he is very excited!

   Great service with no fuss which we personally love. Food came out quickly, food was all really well made and fresh. Special mention to the crab tagliatelle which was outstanding and the tiramisu was very light, would definitely save space for this one. Would come again!

   Our friends had recently been to onda and said how amazing it was, So today we went with them! The food was absolutely incredible. Best pasta I’ve ever eaten. The pricing was really reasonable. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, really accommodating, pleasant and welcoming. We will defiantly be back again! Thank you!

   It was our first time coming to Onda and it did not disappoint! The staff were amazing and took the time to give recommendations and really seemed to know about the food. The service was quick but you don’t feel rushed. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the beef shin ragu and the focaccia; not to mention the tiramisu was heavenly. We will definitely be back. Huge thank you!!

   I've been wanting to try out onda for some time now and wish I'd gone sooner as this restaurant is a must for dining in Manchester and we'll definitely be going back again at some point. Located just off Oxford Road, it's close enough to the city centre makes it worth a short walk. We had as recommended by our waitress two pasta dishes and a pizza to share which was spot on, plus a dessert each. The sorbet is incredible BTW. Our waitress was attentive but not intrusive which is something that can spoil a dining experience for me as you can feel rushed to get on with your food and not enjoy the experience as well so a big thank you to her. My dining partner recently turned 40 and I asked if they could put a candle in his dessert which they did and added that little extra to the whole experience. Great good, very reasonable prices. 3 dishes, 2 desserts, 3 drinks around £85

   Fantastic experience. Great value for money. Our server was really helpful and approachable. Focaccia with trio of butters was great, my partner’s fave was the garlic and parsley and mine was the nduja. The beef shin ragu was our favourite item, but the vodka and nduja pasta complimented it well as we did half and half and neither was sickly or stodgy. They even managed to tempt my dessert hating partner to get the tiramisu which he thought was well worth it! The decor is great and we’re big fans of the open kitchen. The only minor issue, which is more personal preference, would be how close the tables are to each other. But even for an early evening booking on a Thursday night, it was decently packed so I can’t blame them for a little less space. Perfect date night meal because you can order a few things and split them. I’m blown away at the value and quality, when I compare it to other restaurants for a similar price. It took us a long time to get a booking that suited us, but we’ll be back in a heartbeat.

    Food is absolutely unreal and worth all the hype it receives online. Every single member of staff was so friendly. Service was quick. Prices very reasonable. Will 100% be back!
