CITYlife food &
Drink Guide 2002
Deservedly the winner of the CITYlife Newcomer of
the Year award 2000, Venetian Stefano Bagnoli and
his wife Julie continue to make Palmiro a required
destination for anyone who plans a serious Mancunian
culinary tour. The dining room manages to juggle a
certain bareness - softened by flowers - with the
drama of full on blood red panelling. Indeed it
looks a little home-made, and as such, sums up the
joy of a visit here. The whole place is
invigoratingly original, particularly the very high
quality food from chef Lisa Walker. The menu - which
changes monthly - is delightful, avoiding the cheap
and flabby food found on many Italian menus in town
, instead combining good ingredients (organic,
non-gm) in ways that work. A real customer favourite
is Sarde in Saor - a Venetian dish of deep fired
sardines with layered onions in agrodolce.
