Possibly the best small cafe in Stockport. Forget Laco's (slightly overrated) this place oozes Italian charm. The breakfasts are generous and tasty with reasonable prices. It's a hidden gem in stockports Northern quarter. Well worth a visit

Tucked away near Stockport Market Hall, this Italian gem is a delightful surprise. Their authentic Italian cuisine, especially the linguine, is consistently delicious. The chef's recommendations are spot on, and the homemade tiramisu is a must-try. I've enjoyed several lunches here and can't wait to return.

Rarely found yummy clams spaghetti and beef bolognaise pasta. If the clams were not sandy at all, it would be perfect. Pericle was very friendly and made us homely. Will eat there with my family and try more dishes next time! Recommended

Had some spare time so we went to explore Stockport. Discovered this cafe after looking up the long flights of stairs with a set of tables and chairs in the middle. Went to check it out - the menu looked good and it was busy inside. We ordered spicy meatballs and mozzarella ciabatta with salad (4.95), Cajun chicken fillet goujons (7.60), regular latte (2.40) and a pot for one tea (2.20). Food and drink came swiftly. They were amazing both the flavours and the presentation. My husband was happy that there was a kick to the spicy meatballs and the bread with the cajun chicken was garlic bread. Whilst I loved the cheesiness of the mozzarella and the super soft ciabatta bread. Both were decent portion size at a very reasonable price. Staff (a family, I assume) were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place. Their pasta looked very appealing after seeing other people having it. We'll definitely come back to try them next time. Ciao!

Lunch date with my wife, The service was good, we were given a reasonable amount of time to view the menu before the front of house man came to take a drink order while we decided what to order. The menu is ample with small to larger meals available, ranging from breakfast to full Italian meals to choose from, the waiting staff went through the specials available soups and mains. The man serving us had a strong accent so wasn't quite sure of a few bits of what was said. No big issue though, we ordered our food which arrived after a short time, the food was well presented and very tasty I had the chicken and bacon mozzarella sandwich with side salad, and a side order of garlic and pepper chips, my wife chose the vegetable soup and had a chicken and bacon w/o mozzarella ciabatta both of us were really pleased with our food. Thank you for a nice meal in a lovely little cafe.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff. We ended up spending more than we expected because we were having such a good time that we decided to order dessert and then coffee. Totally worth it, though.

Very under appreciated cafe/bistro. As it's halfway between 2 levels of streets it's a bit hidden. Very friendly service and the food quality was great with a lot of care put into the presentation of the Eggs Benedict I had. Brilliant value for money aswell
