IN a world of celebrity chefs and concept dining, it can be refreshing to eat at a restaurant that keeps things simple.

You'll find Al Bacio in between John Dalton Street and King Street, just off Deansgate

Al Bacio, the new Italian restaurant on South King Street, is just that – an authentic Italian restaurant ran by Italian chefs whose only aim is to serve you something you'll love.

The menu is bursting with Mediterranean ingredients: fresh seafood, the best of the market's vegetables, salads and herbs, and high quality meats. You can go for cicchetti-style small plates, pizza, or a full three courser. They have an extensive steak and fish menu, as well as lighter pasta dishes.

The surroundings are warm and inviting, despite that grand exterior. There's a bar area and a large, welcoming dining room. You'll find Al Bacio in between John Dalton Street and King Street, just off Deansgate.

Al Bacio is running two opening offers for Confidential readers – visit our Al Bacio page for more details.
