Amalia Italian Restaurant in Liverpool

Decent food for a reasonable price, service is a bit hectic though, all the servers constantly running round seeming very busy

The staff are lovely, very friendly and efficient. The pasta meals we had were delicious.

Really good service despite being busy. We had 2 Calzone, Pizza and Carbonara, all of the food was good quality and arrived quickly!

Enjoyed it here, the friendly service by Goska last Friday made it all the more memorable . Will call again

Very charming and atmospheric place. I recommend it.

This restaurant is the best I've ever visited in Liverpool. The service is super friendly, always asking if everything is okay. I'll be back in November!

Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly! The waiter who served us, Canario, was a genius.

Lovely Italian with delicious food. Only downside was that it was very.noisy, making conversation almost impossible. That said, would definitely recommend, and we would be happy to eat here again.

Great food and very friendly service well worth a visit

A unique restaurant with unique Italian food. If you want to travel from England to Italy, the food here will help - the pizza, pasta and everything prepared here. They also have a uniquely delicious, something like a flatbread with pesto. There was a slight delay in some things, but everything we ordered was worth it. There is no room for dessert, but when you visit it again, you will try them too.

Food is Always spot on , staff always good with our kid , reasonably priced too.

Good food and excellent portions, would recommend and certainly will go again

Worst risoto that I ate! Rice it was hard and row, not tasty! Plate, table, menu glass was dirty and greasy!!! Worst customer service ever!! I had to ask 3 times for a glass and the waitress forgot to bring! He got the bills and still forgot to bring the glass, after ask AGAIN, the water jar and glass was dirty, fork was dirt! Waiting 40 minutes to pay the bill cause the waiter forgot to back to my table with card machine. Everyone was rude. I just dont want be longer here! But first time there and I will never come back! I really would like my refund! And it was Not busy!! So no excuse

Fantastic food,great service,in a clean pleasant setting with a great atmosphere.

Authentic Italian restaurant run by Italians. Long wait on a Friday evening without booking but worth the time spent. Superb delicious food at reasonable prices. We left full and happy. If I return to Liverpool, I will be eating there again, it was a fun experience and I am in love with the with the lady who runs it.

Hmm so basically thought I’d book a nice restaurant for the family with it been a nice weekend in Liverpool, when we walked in it seemed like we had walked in to your local pub, loud , men dressed as old women, blow up dolls.. no exaggeration here!! Now I’m not one for a bad review but I suggested this place because of all the good reviews.. Firstly we had olives come to the table 3 times only ordered once! (Fair enough) We ordered a starter garlic bread .. that came out with one persons main (so we all watched her eat) … 20 minutes later the rest of our mains came (her turn to watch us eat) We asked for the manager as there was lots of confusion going on too many waiters and waitresses coming to table (not their fault) .. so the manager came very sincere about the mess that’s gone on BUT then the head chef I presume came out , and told us the first main was meant to have gone to another table that’s where it had all gone wrong , as he was “talking” (il get to that soon).. 2 more of the first main came to the table??? .. in all confusion the chef was getting really close to my partner and he was spitting as he was talking all over her arm and food , I could see she was uncomfortable, then he came to my side to plead his case to which I felt it on my arm also .. luckily I had finished my meal.. tbh it would of been no surprise at that point if GORDON RAMSEY suddenly popped his head around the corner.. In the end we did get discount and apologies, staff was great though can’t blame them , just very loud , rushed and confusing .. unfortunately won’t be coming back and dampened our first time in Liverpool ! …(hope it was a good read though haha)

I've been to this restaurant many times and have always had great experiences, especially thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case today. The service was disappointing and didn’t reflect the usual standard I’ve come to expect. I hope this was just a one-off, as I’ve always enjoyed coming here.

This restaurant is amazing! Great location, in city centre. A proper Italian menu. Fantastic atmosphere, with live music when I have been there. Tasty meatball, the calzone's dough was incredibly light. Prices are competitive. A mention to the staff: professional, friendly and they ran all the evening. They were at every table. They are great!!! Go there and enjoy this restaurant

Best Italian ever. Great prices. Big portions. Friendly service. We can’t wait to return!

Food was amazing and portions were generous, lovely food, thanks guys

Fantastic pizza and wonderful service, we'll be back

The fella with the big beard is a legend. Top server. Best Italian in liverpool

Amazing and authentic restaurant with delicious dishes. Definitely worth trying!!

En primer lugar me gustaría decir que metí la pata en la reserva. Pensé que había reservado la mesa para las 7: 30 y en realidad reservó la mesa para 7 por error. Apareciendo a las 7. 20 no era ideal y honestamente pensé que la mesa se había ido, El personal era fantástico y muy servicial y se las arregló para conseguir una mesa un poco más tarde. Muy agradecidos por eso, ya que el partido de fútbol también estaba en marcha y se precipitaron. La espera valió la pena ya que la comida era increíble 👏 El personal era fantástico y muy amable. No puedo agradecerte lo suficiente por hacer que sea una noche especial. Sin duda uno de los mejores restaurantes italianos de la ciudad. Muy recomendable. Sin duda volveremos en un futuro próximo bajo el tiempo de reserva correcto 😂 Gracias ☺️

Absolutely amazing restaurant, very very busy on a Sunday evening and the staff where Absolutely first class also finding us a table even though we didn't have a reservation....the food was first class, found my goto Italian when I'm in Liverpool......well done to everyone at Amalia .

Great food place the pizza was lovely and perfectly cooked the staff were friendly and kept checking if we needed anything great price for the food and lovely kind atmosphere😃😃

What a wonderful restaurant, the staff are amazing, so helpful, friendly and professional, they never stopped from the minute we entered until we left ,serving ,cleaning tables immediately and checking we were OK. As for the food, wow.both my wife's bruschetta, and my chicken croquettes were beautiful. My main of pancetta risotto was amazing as was my wife's sea bass. Lovely location, good atmosphere, I we couldn't fault anything will most definitely visit again when next in Liverpool.

Great food, lovely staff kept checking on us to see I we enjoyed the food, even never laughed at my special ginger child who messed up while asking for stuff

Este restaurante nos lo recomendaron. El personal no podría haber sido más servicial. La comida era increíble. A un precio razonable también. Sin duda recomendaría este restaurante italiano a otros, vale la pena una visita.

A nice restaurant with a simple menu (this is a good thing by the way. A few dishes done well trumps a million choices every day) The chicken croquettes were hot and crunchy and the spaghetti Bolognese was authentic and tasty.

Two of the waiters were very full on

Una joya absoluta de un lugar, escondido lejos del ajetreo y el bullicio de Liverpool One en una pequeña plaza linda y a solo 10 minutos a pie de la Arena. Aunque el Sábado Nacional estaba lleno a reventar y llegamos unos minutos antes de nuestra hora reservada nos sentamos casi inmediatamente. El personal era genial a pesar de que se precipitaron de sus pies, la comida es excelente, con porciones enormes, así que por desgracia no hay espacio para helados y toda la experiencia es sin duda relación calidad-precio. Se lo recomendaré a cualquiera que pregunte.

Servicio fabuloso, ambiente maravilloso, la comida era genial y auténtica. Gran hallazgo. Todo a un precio razonable y entregado con una sonrisa!

Comida previa al concierto, reservada con antelación, increíble, ambiente, el servicio fue excelente comida fue genial los tiempos entre cursos fue genial no se apresuró

Great restaurant! Warm welcome and impeccable kindness. Absolutely recommended.

Amazing atmosphere but unfortunately the food was a bit blant and lacked the authentic Italian flavours I expected. I expected better quality Quattro formaggi pizza.

Gabriel was a great waiter and it’s a lovely spot for a beer or cocktail

Our family of five visited Amalia’s Restaurant on Mother's Day. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, which was a bit long. Unfortunately, there were some mix-ups with our pizzas, and one drink was forgotten. The waiter mentioned giving us a discount, but that didn't happen. Also, it was quite noisy, making it hard to relax and enjoy our meal. The food came out quickly, which was good, but the calzones and lasagna were a little bland, and the sauces weren't very flavorful. The restaurant also seemed a bit untidy. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience and probably won't be returning.

We’ve been to Amalia a few times and each time we go, the standard of food and service is amazing. Real authentic Italian atmosphere that doesn’t cost a fortune.

Great place to visit, service was amazing and very attentive to our requests. Will Definately visit again!

Love this place. Family friendly, great food, professional and warm staff and great setting. Best Italian in Liverpool ❤️

We had a lovely dining experience at Amaila! The ingredients used tasted fresh! Everything we ordered was great.

Faustina was amazing, great customer service. I would highly recommend this place the food was great!

I haven’t had such a good pizza in a long time! 😍 I miss the taste of Neapolitan pizza, and this one brought back those amazing flavors! It felt just like being in Naples again. 🍕✨ Thank you so much – it was absolutely delicious! ❤️ I highly recommend it! 💯👏

A fantastic restauran with fantastic people. Delicious food, unbeatable service, in a quiet but central area and at a great price. Delicious pizzas and spectacular pasta. The staff....the best! Thank you!!!!

A wonderful Italian restaurant. Welcoming for families. We had pizza which was delicious. We also had dessert - I had the pistachio tiramisu which I loved, and my son had the chocolate brownie with ice cream which he really enjoyed.

Fabulous little restaurant this. We’ve been here a few times and never had a bad experience. Food is always lush, portions are really decent size and very reasonably priced as well. Their garlic and pesto pizza bread is to die for 👌🏻

We enjoyed a lovely family meal here. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will always head to Amalia when in Liverpool and we thoroughly recommend!

Amazing service and amazing quality food. Staff were friendly and helpful especially Goska and Jurgita Couldn’t recommend enough.

Had a solo weekend away in Liverpool and came across this gem. Lovely food and great atmosphere. Staff were very professional and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Amalia was recommended to me, all I can say is why did no one tell me sooner!! I took my wife and kids. The food was amazing my kids ate all there pizzas. Honestly the service and attention to customer service was amazing, they made my family feel so welcome and happy. I have to say special thank you to Goska (Bar Manager) and Jurgita (GM)I can’t thank them enough for the whole experience!! 5star plus all the way!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lunch time food before going across the square (20 metres ) to the Bridewell had the burger... beautiful. Friends had a risotto and two starters. All their food was well received, the starters especially. Did not get five stars because the music was too loud. Asked for it to be lowered, it was, but they said the manager might complain! 🤔

Real Italian restaurants with authentic service and menu - well priced too

Highly recommend eating here! The food is delicious and the service is quick and polite.

If i could give more than 5 stars, I would. The food is stunning. For me staff and atmosphere in place I eat is important. It feels very welcoming, staff go above and beyond, with smiles, making sure we have everything. Especially in our case they did. We came in last minute, they squezed us in between the bookings because it was busy, plus they made sure we had space to dine when more of our family from abroad joined us. They honestly couldnt do enough for us. My family went back home talking about this place for days and they still talk about it now. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We will be back very soon.

Truly the best pizza in the.world

We went with Juanma from Cartagena, and the experience was very good. Very close and friendly waitresses, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended are the noodles with shrimp and all kinds of pasta. The pizza with a very delicious thin base. An absolute success.

The seafood platter is fresh, vibrant, and served with tangy dips.

Such a lovely dining experience here today with my partner and 2 little boys. Staff were all so friendly, welcoming and great with the boys. Food was amazing- I can highly recommend the lasagna and the cheesy garlic bread and the boys loved their pizzas! Will definitely be back!

Lovely fresh meat balls and great garlic bread 😋.

Just on vacation in Liverpool, the calzone was a taste explosion, perfect dough, just great! Very nice atmosphere and great staff, the two gentlemen were great and were there to help! I recommend it 100%!

This review should be zero out of 5, this is the worst restaurant we have ever visited. Warmed up frozen bought in food, absolutely nothing authentic Italian whatsoever.

Slow service. Food was poor. Cold chicken added to pasta that seemed like it had come out of a packet. Very cold in the restaurant. Nothing cosy or honestly about the experience.

Very friendly staff attentive and welcoming food was fabulous especially the sea bass highly recommended Our waitress was so nice would definitely go back

Great atmosphere was my nephews birthday and they made a big fuss . A couple of our party were late due to traffic and they were great never made a fuss at all even on a busy Friday night

This restaurant has tasty food a good atmosphere but the service is a mess and the restaurant really misses the basics when it comes to serving in a restaurant. It’s as if staff receive no basic training. Really simple things are missed such as no small plates for starters without requesting. After starters, remove plates and provide fresh cutlery. But no we had main courses arriving with starters plates still all over the table and no new knife and forks. We had no salt & pepper on the table and did not get offered Parmesan with our pasta which is just a complete BASIC in an Italian restaurant. We had 5 people waiting on our table, why? There was no consistency at all no rapport built with staff it was a different person every time. In the end we were a bit worried to ask for things so just left it. The restaurant clearly gets very busy on football match days so it’s like they’re not too bothered about providing a proper service. I was so disappointed after not being here for years. It is uts me off returning sadly because I enjoyed the food. Get the basics right and this place would be brilliant.

Shocking. Ordered a calzone takeaway. Absolutely awful. Cheap ingredients thrown together. Order was outside of time stated so we decided to have a beer inside whilst we waited. £9.00 for two halves of Italian lager. Shocker. Avoid at all costs.

The food from here is absolutely delicious. The staff are all so welcoming and lovely, but the service is a little slow.

Great restaurant - very authentic and really friendly staff. The food was delicious and plentiful and the prices were very reasonable - starter main each and a double vodka each for £50.00! Really good value and highly recommended

Bland pizza and tasteless pasta. This restaurant is awful. The service is bad, the staff are rude. I never ever go there again. Don't waste your money.

Unbeatable service and very good Italian food

I ordered a takeaway pepperoni pizza, they gave me an uncut pizza with very spicy sauce base. I wish I could give them 0

We had a booking for 7pm & arrived at 7.12 due to train delays. The lady said that because we were late she gave our table away rather than honouring the 15 minute grace period as stated on the website they offer. We were then made to wait 50 minutes for a table with no communication of when we would be sat down. When we were finally sat down the waitress did not know what prosecco was and brought still wine, and one of the mains came 20 minutes after the rest. Wont be returning

Very tasty pizzas and pretty good beer. Also deserts were tasty too. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delivered fast. Prices are Okey. Would recommend.

Very delicious food at a decent price. Totally recommended, the only drawback I would say is that you stayed cold in the restaurant.

Always a pleasure to dine here, service is always excellent and the staff always seem so happy to help. Food is beautiful and authentic, good value for money. Been coming here for years and it’s always consistent in flavour, quality and atmosphere🙏

As usual the amalia is amazing enjoy folks

Nothing to write home about. Pizza dough was good, but the rest of the food was mediocre.

Absolutely delicious Italian dishes.

Lovely food in a quiet relaxed atmosphere. A little bit of Italy hidden in the centre of Liverpool.

My family and I visited for my 30th birthday meal last night. Drinks and food order was taken. Starters came in an ok time manner. However we waited an hour after our starters for the main to arrive! When the lady delivered our mains, she lent over the table to pass over some plates, which we thought was rude! Normally at an Italian restaurant you’re offered pepper and Parmesan etc, we were not offered as she walked away after dishing out our mains! I had to try and get her attention 4 times, she was attentive to the table next to us and was able to supply them with pepper and Parmesan, which we thought was strange!! The customer service was AWFUL! The food is also bland and tasteless. I ordered a arabbiata, which was not spicy!! The sauce was bland. The carbonara sauce is the same sauce which the shrimp and linguine pasta came with! We also ordered the chicken ceaser salad, which the chicken was dry and rubbery. We wanted to look at the desert menu however after waiting an hour for our mains for it to be very bland tasting we were put off. As soon as we asked for the bill, it arrived a minute later, shame our main meals didn’t arrive in a timely manner! Would NOT recommend this restaurant! I have no clue how it has so many rewards and some good reviews!! Also want to add the arabbiata dish was full of oil!

Great food, friendly staff and a great place for dog lovers! I had the Funghi Calzone and it was lovely

A super good Italian restaurant in Liverpool. A warm welcome and excellent pasta! I recommend

Been a couple times. Great food and friendly staff.

Food and service quite good. Unfortunately when it is busy the acoustics make it very noisy.

Food is great, quite authentic. Normally busy, so make a reservation if you can Might take some time to get the bill, but that’s normal, given how busy it is normally

Called into the cafe..not the resturant..perfect italian coffee , foccacia and canolis also on offer...bit of a little gem

Nice atmosphere, very good service, lovely food, had a lovely time with the family

Best pizza ever! You can write many words, many sentences but it's not necessary, because it's the best pizza without any doubt. We were there in the afternoon and the restaurant was full of happy people. We have to go back and try other foods.

We found this last minute after not booking anywhere in advance. And what a lovely place to eat. There was a good atmosphere as we walked in. We were served quickly and opted for garlic bread with tomato to start with a friend having the prawns. Both were delicious. We had a variety of mains. Everyone enjoyed the plentiful portions with only the mushrooms letting the side down. These seemed quite hard and leathery in the risotto. Other than that, all food was nice and so reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food beautiful friendly staff. Always made to feel welcome. Nothing is to much trouble. We go once a week and have done for 6 years. Best Italian restaurant by far

This large Italian restaurant was recommended to me – not far from my hotel so I thought I’d give it a go. It’s down a little side street off of Duke Street and has an affiliated artisan deli next door. Ate quite late so it wasn’t that busy – inside is bright and, on this occasion, fully decorated for Halloween – big spider etc. I don’t really do Halloween. Don’t understand it. The imagery is weird – spiders, cobwebs, pumpkins etc. But I don’t mind others doing it, so that was fine. Anyhow, the service was quick and efficient and there was a decent buzz in the room - various tables, families etc. The beer was a Scavelli draught – this was a decent lager. Not had it before. It was the sort of beer you want in an Italian restaurant. There was also Peroni in bottles. I like Peroni but I wanted a change. Change is important sometimes. The food menu itself is quite large, with the full plethora of things you’d’ expect – pizza, pasta etc. Also saw there was a burger. I ordered Mozzarella in Carrotza to start – massive slab of cheese in breadcrumbs with a tomato sauce – and the chicken and mushroom calzone for main. Tasty food – the calzone was fat and stuffed full of filling, small bowl of tomato sauce on the side, sort of like tomato soup, worked well. They do some sort of calzone challenge – I can’t imagine how large that must be, since my calzone was also on the large side. I don’t like my food to be a challenge though, so I won’t have that. I was full, but I had pudding anyway because they had pistachio tiramisu – this was lovely, with a decent whip of cream on top, but I should know better by now. Will I ever learn. Table to the right was having some sort of lively debate about politics – good for them. Real debate is rare these days. I would eat here again, I think. I enjoyed my meal but would probably moderate my intake and not have both a starter and a pudding. Big portions.

when for a pre theatre meal they offer a late lunch deal 12-5 good choice of items with an included drink we both opted for the pizza's which arrived promptly nicely presented and very tasty highly recommended

I had the meatball calsoni it was one of the best Italian dishes I have ever had loaded whith cheese and meet and when you ask for some parnesan they give you a massive bowl full not the little ones that you get in some Italians highly recommend

Medioker mat om man ska vara snäll i omdömet, den går att äta men lite med italienska stolta köket att göra. Känslan av en fabrik vid servering, placering och välkomnande. Vårt vin ställdes fram oöppnat med en duns på bordet, vi fick skruva upp och smaka av på egen hand då servitrisen skyndade vidare.

Fantastic Italian restaurant. We had the Risotto Funghi Misti and Calzone. Both recommended. Busy, friendly, great staff and good food. What more do you want?

By Far the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in the friendly reception is amazing and the food is simply delicious thanks to all the staff who always make us feel welcome 🙏

The food is fantastic! Came to Liverpool last weekend and booked a table and it was so good. When I arrived you could see how good it is as so many people eating and that was at 6.30pm on a Friday. This really is the place to go to for fantastic food. 10 stars from me! Amazing and thank you to the Chef

First visit and what a fantastic one it was. The staff is super friendly, the restaurant is dog friendly too and well the food yummy doesn't do it any justice. Fantastic all around

My favourite restaurant in Liverpool, I wouldn't go anywhere else ,fantastic food, staff amazing amazing atmosphere , go on treat yourself 😋
