The Olive Press Pizzeria Bar & Grill restaurant in Manchester is a few steps off Deansgate, was voted best working lunch venue in town, but it's great for pre-theatre and family meals, too. The dining room blends rustic Italian with modern style. Think exposed brick, farmhouse furniture and cool lighting and sleek bar. Only the freshest ingredients go into the classic and innovative Italian dishes, like handmade artisan pastas, stone-baked pizzas, grills and light dishes. The al fresco dining area is delightful. The Olive Press loves kids: dedicated healthful menu, make-your-own pizzas, and dinkified versions of any dish on the menu. Moderate prices, enthusiastic service.

Information for Groups

The Olive Press Pizzeria Bar & Grill is supremely well-sited for casual business lunches, after-work group wind-downs and parties for friends and families. There's no private dining room so groups are accommodated in the main dining room and don't miss any of the action. The moderately-priced Italian menu and mainly Italian wine list are crowd-pleasers every time.
