Okay, we’ll admit it, an Italian restaurant on the first floor of a train station might not sound like the obvious place to find great ice cream, but Manchester isn’t a city that heeds to the obvious. Head up the escalator to Carluccio’s and forego the food in favour of some of the city’s most exquisite ice cream, authentic Italian gelato in this most Manchester of settings. The food itself is pretty good as well, making Carluccio’s an all-round champion.
