Top Best Italian Restaurants in Rufford

"Bella Italia might not seem like the most obvious choice for a bottomless brunch, but actually, their offer is pretty damn good. You get two courses and bottomless prosecco for £27.99pp, and you can take advantage of this offer every Friday to Sunday between 11:30 and 5. How about a bruschetta followed by a pizza, or a delightful pasta dish?"

"What: Pizza restaurant Rudy’s has proved popular with foodies, now operating a handful of sites across the northern region. At this Ancoats location, you can enjoy your pizza on one of a handful of benches outside of the restaurant, which are perfect for small groups. On the menu, you can expect to find the likes of margherita and calabrese, plus Italian classics such as tiramisu for dessert.Where: 9 Cotton Street, M4 5BF"

"Rudy’s is another great pit stop for vegans, with their specials board often providing a different dairy-free option every week. Rudy’s Neapolitan pizza dough is 100% vegan, and alongside their stunning marinara, any pizza on the menu can be asked for without cheese. No wonder they’re labelled the best pizzas in town."

"The highly acclaimed chain restaurant needs little introduction. With one in every major city, Blackpool is part of the tradition, celebrating Italy’s most classic and well-known dishes. With kids eating free at certain times, it’s the perfect place to bring the whole family, especially after a few hours of great entertainment."

"Vapiano are renowned for making their irresistible Italian meals from scratch, so you know that they're using only the freshest ingredients to make their veggie dishes. Dine on the crema di funghi and pesto basilico pasta alongside vegetable-topped pizzas."

"CFCCA is the UK leader in Chinese visual culture, with a reputation for debut solo exhibitions and a roster of internationally-renowned artists; impressive considering that, three decades ago, it was just a series of events in Manchester’s Chinatown. As Manchester’s Chinese population is second only to London’s, the centre’s heritage is particularly important; now represented in a new archive and library. Best feature: A vibrant events schedule, spanning film screenings to workshops and even Mandarin lessons"

"CFCCA reopens with a duo of exhibitions investigating and unpicking themes of belonging, identity and citizenship in a globalised and hyper-connected society. Housed in CFCCA’s Northern Quarter galleries, the exhibitions are just a few minutes’ walk from the Arndale Shopping Centre. Multiplicities in Flux brings together works by contemporary artists Grace Lau and Eelyn Lee in a dialogue around identity and belonging."

"Manchester's Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art will reopen both of its galleries on Wednesday May 19. Exhibitions Multiplicities in Flux and Autopsy of a Home, which originally opened in October, will be back until June 13. Booking is advised at cfcca.org.uk but walk-ups are welcome."
