Sicilian Wine Tasting Dinner Reviews

This is a fun activity in Manchester

Enjoy a relaxed Sicilian food and wine pairing experience at Sicilian NQ in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

The evening begins with a welcome glass of Prosecco and a Sicilian aperitivo, followed by a selection of four good-quality Sicilian wines—two white and two red—carefully paired with traditional regional dishes. Dessert is accompanied by a Sicilian liqueur.

This is an informal dining experience, not a sommelier-led class, tutored tasting or technical wine lesson. The focus is on enjoying authentic Sicilian food and carefully selected wines in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The experience includes a chef-selected set menu. The same menu is served to the entire table, and guests do not select dishes from the à la carte menu. Food substitutions are not available.

Award-Winning Venue

Sicilian NQ was named Best Neighbourhood Bar & Bistro 2023 – Central Manchester and is a proud recipient of the prestigious Marchio Ospitalità Italiana.

Established by the Italian Government, this certification recognises restaurants that authentically represent Italian culinary heritage, quality and hospitality around the world.

“Food is good, especially if you like pistachio. Good size portions. Describing it as wint tasting is pushing it a little though. You do get 3 types of wine and they are very generously sized glasses. However, for ‘tasting’ I would have expected more smaller course with paired wines. Also no description of the wine style, background, etc. Friendly staff and enjoyed the meal.”

“Hosted by a very nice lady who had us booked for a different time from that reserved but who graciously agreed to accommodate us. No evidence of a "wine expert to start the evening with an introduction to Sicilian wine" but we were presented with a nice class of Prosecco before being proffered a food menu and then being asked what sort of wine we'd like. Both courses of the meal appeared fairly instantly for two of us , and both were (at best) below average - in fact we couldn't finish them. This was not a wine tasting course, it was a voucher for a fairly poor meal. Pity - as it was supposed to be a birthday present!”

“This wasn't a wine tasting. I would call this a Sicilian meal with wine. We were poured some wine but not given any information so we didn't learn anything about the wine. The restaurant was very small and there were other diners so the staff were very busy. There wasn't a dedicated wine tasting teacher. The starter was good, the main was very bland and the desert was the best bit.”

“It wasn't a wine tasting at all! We were poured 2 glasses of white and 2 glasses of red wine each and that was it. We thought we would learn about the wines but we're just told the names of the wines. We were served an okay dinner but the whole point of this was to have a wine tasting.”
