And for lovers of traditional Italian food, you can’t go wrong at San Carlo."

"San Carlo is Manchester’s most famous and, some say, best Italian restaurant. Run by the Distefano family, it’s said to have one of the largest turnovers in the UK. It’s also the place to be papped and there’s usually a bank of photographers outside to prove the point."

"There are now more than 40 Jamie’s Italian restaurants, but the one closest to home is on King Street.in the city centre."

"Nevertheless, it’s a piece of Sheffield history so deserves a quick mention. This building was once home to the legendary Ward’s Brewing Company. The business closed back in 1999, but you can still see the sign and iconic archway at the end of Ecceshall Road."
