About Olio Didsbury

Olio Didsbury is a family run Mediterranean restaurant at 747 Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, where the food is cooked fresh. The menu spans mezze, pizza, pasta and kebabs, so a table can mix styles in one meal. The Olio meat platter is a hot platter from the kitchen, and sea bass comes either grilled or pan-fried. Desserts include baklava alongside other puddings. As guests leave, the team hands them complimentary almond biscuits, a small parting gift that closes the meal.

Customer Review Summary

Salt and pepper chicken draws the most repeated praise, singled out on the weekday set menu and likened by one diner to the Chinese style, though that same reviewer found it a bit dry and wanted it cooked for less time. Close behind are the platters, with the meat platter and a hot platter both called incredible, alongside grilled sea bass, salmon linguine packed with salmon, and halloumi fries. Diners also mention garlic mushrooms, ribeye steak, mezze, pizza and kebabs, and several finish with baklava, tiramisu or sticky toffee pudding. Many describe generous portions, fresh cooking and quick service, and one notes that a menu with this much range still had everything cooked well. Staff are called friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere chilled and warm, and one reviewer likes the new outside seating. One diner was handed complimentary almond biscuits on the way out.

    “Had a fantastic time at Olio Didsbury. The food was genuinely delicious, beautifully presented and packed with flavour, and the whole place has a really warm, stylish and welcoming atmosphere. It was especially nice to experience the restaurant as a guest of the owner, who made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. Great food, great vibes and a lovely setting in Didsbury — definitely somewhere I’d happily come back to!”

    “Went for a meal after a birthday day out for my sister. We ordered a variety of dishes including mezze, pizza, pasta and kebabs - they were all incredible. Sometimes a menu with range means something isn’t done well, that was not the case here. Everything was cooked beautifully and was delicious. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive. I would highly recommend!”
