About This Pub

Ah, Damo – it's one of those hidden gems in Altrincham that I've heard so much about, and from what folks are saying, it lives up to the hype. Picture this: you're tucking into some proper Italian fare, like their homemade pasta or that signature lasagna, all made with fresh ingredients by a family-run outfit passionate about their craft. The staff really go the extra mile, being warm and attentive without making it feel over the top, which makes it ideal for a cosy night out or celebrating with mates. On the brighter side, it's got this lovely, relaxed feel that's perfect if you're after a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick pint. But, fair's fair, it does close up on Mondays and Tuesdays, so you might have to shuffle your plans around. And if you're hoping for a buzzing crowd, it can be a tad subdued at times, which isn't everyone's cup of tea. All in all, though, if you're in the area and fancy some heartfelt Italian dining, I'd say give it a whirl – you won't be disappointed!

Cons
  • It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so you'll need to plan your visit around that if you're keen for a mid-week treat.
  • It can sometimes feel a bit quiet, especially if you're after a more lively buzz, as one visit was described as peaceful with just a few tables.

Authentic italian restaurant! We came here a couple of days ago as a family and as soon as we arrived we loved it! The staff are very friendly and kind, even though the resturaunt was busy - it was still a nice atmosphere that you can enjoy your food in. I ordered the duck gnocchi and was blown away!! The flavour was amazing however a little salt was needed. The tiramisu was also perfect! Prices are reasonable and would definitely come again!

We came here for a birthday dinner, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Our server, Yamen, was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, always making sure our water glasses were full, our table was tidy, and checking in at just the right moments. The rest of the staff were equally impressive, swiftly clearing plates and maintaining a seamless, high standard of service throughout the evening. And the food—absolutely phenomenal. I’ve never been a fan of gnocchi, but the Gnocchi alla Papera (handmade gnocchi with slow-cooked shredded duck in a rich San Marzano tomato sauce) completely changed my mind. They were so light and tender, like biting into soft pillows—truly unforgettable. The Supplì Zucca were another standout. Rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It’s places like this that set a new standard of quality—after experiencing it, anything else you try elsewhere just never quite lives up to how it should taste. We had the best time and will absolutely be back!

Authentic Mama's pasta elevated by the 3 brothers at Damo's. Awesome food, but the bar is raised with the service and attention to detail. Always have a great evening here, whether its a family night or for business. The highlights have to be the beef tartare, signature lasagna and the choc fondant.... hmmm... back soon chaps! (p.s. and its halal too)

It was bank holiday Sunday and my family went for lunch. It was just us for best part of 2 hours and we loved the food, chilled pace since we were the only customers. We weren’t in a rush, they didn’t feel rushed considering we had starters, mains and dessert. Technically, they were on time. It was fine dining with customer service at its best. It felt like we had our own food experience. Right amount of fresh, wholesome delicious Italian food on our doorstep. I would go back in the evening to enjoy a lively atmosphere with great food.

We visited Damo for a friend birthday party and we were impressed by the quality of the food and the place itself. As an Italian myself, I’m extremily picky when it comes to Italian food and sometimes struggle to find authentic Italian cousine, but Damo met my expectations 100%, the food was tasty, nicely presented and the lasagna was one of the best I ever had. The restaurant staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed. I would def recommend visiting Damo for any sort of occasion and you won’t be disappointed!
