About the restaurant

Ciao! We are a family ran independent Italian restaurant specialising in rustic traditional Italian home-cooking.

Owned and managed by Ferdinando Mercogliano and family, we have been at the heart of the Romiley community for over 38 years.

Customer favourites include our fresh pasta and proper Neapolitan pizza, but you will also find a whole range of items on our menu including traditional Italian antipasti, grilled meats, seafood, risottos and more.

Everyone is welcome here! Our noisy and lively atmosphere is reminiscent of old school trattorias in the backstreets of southern Italy and we pride ourselves on our friendly fast paced service. We have also recently opened a ground floor section with more of a laid back bistro vibe compared to the bustling chaos of upstairs.

...and of course, how could we not mention our popular Earlybird Offer?! Any pizza or pasta dish is available here for just £9.95 from 5 till 7:30pm, everyday except Fri-Sat and Mondays (we are closed Mondays)

We had an excellent meal at Home last night. The staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. We had Set Meal B, which was so tasty - especially the sizzling beef! Good sized portions, which left us feeling delightfully (but not over) full. I particularly appreciated being made a fuss of due to our meal being so close to my birthday. A sweet dumpling with a candle and lychee liqueur, which was lovely. We chose Home because of the positive reviews and it certainly did not disappoint. We will certainly go again if and when we return to Manchester.
