Searching for somewhere that'll make the day feel extra special?
FEW cultures celebrate mothers with quite as much gusto as the Italians. The matriarch is traditionally the heart and soul of the family – the one who holds it all together, sorts out the problems, and invariably keeps everyone fed and happy. If that sounds like a lady you know, why not celebrate her in classic Italian style – with gorgeous food, gifts and complimentary fizz at Don Giovanni, just off St Peter's Square?
All ladies who dine will be treated to a free glass of prosecco.
On Mother's Day, they'll treat all ladies who dine to a complimentary glass of prosecco. And every mother will be given a special gift to take home. What's more, guests dining in the afternoon will be treated to live music too.
Don Giovanni is always a beautifully dressed restaurant, with crisp linen table clothes, fresh flowers, and smartly dressed staff. It manages to feel both relaxed and special at the same time, so it's ideal for a family celebration.
Rather than offering a limited menu on Mother's Day, they'll be serving their superb a la carte menu, letting you take your pick of their fine Italian dining.
Options range from fresh fish to locally reared meat, to salads, pizza and pasta. Go for wild Scottish monk fish pan fried with cherry tomatoes and clams, or sirloin steak with rocket and parmesan shavings.
And save space for a classic Italian dessert such as their vanilla-infused panna cotta topped with winter berry compote.
Why not treat mum to a cocktail after dinner? We recommend the Sgroppino (home-made Limoncello, citrus vodka, sorbet and prosecco) as a light, fruity palette cleanser.
Don Giovanni will be busy on Mother's Day so make sure you book a table in advance. If your mum is a fan of Italian food, she'll be more than impressed.
Don Giovanni is on Oxford Street, just off St Peter's Square, Manchester city centre.
