ONDA is a treat for the tastebuds. Long dark wood tables are shared by eager diners, as tapas-style plates of fresh pasta and other Italian dishes are ferried across the restaurant. This is the creation of ‘Gooey’, a celeb-endorsed bakery in Manchester that Lizzo herself is a fan of.
Their ‘New Season, New Kitchen’ policy ensures the menu is continually revitalised – as fresh as the pasta itself – meaning that each return trip will excite in new ways.
