Casa Tapas, Didsbury

Advantages: Great choice of food, brilliant prices, lovely atmosphere
Disadvantages: Service not too great

...too generous. Well, not Casa Tapas - the garlic bread was enormous and we were both served one of our dishes in a giant cast iron frying pan! We almost had to move to a bigger table there was so much food! We got: -garlic bread with cheese - garlic mushrooms - tortilla espanol - patatas bravas - pasta in a creamy mushroom sauce - chorizo - chicken in garlic sauce - meatballs I would highly recommend the pasta in mushroom sauce - that was ...

Absolutely Fab- My sister (23) , brother (18) and myself go there as our regular catch up place- we love it. Food is great, staff fab, prices what you would expect for the atmosphere, food etc. Quite loud- and busy- so maybe not great for younger children. Fully recommend. Barbara
