Aquila Nera Ristorante in Stockport

This place has amazing food with very reasonable price. They don’t add service charge so you can save some euros there. Staff are nice and friendly and overall this place has an amazing atmosphere. This restaurant is closer to the station so it’s quite convenient to get here. Overall quite impressed with the quality food, the price and customer service.

This restaurant no longer exists. Is closed

Very quiet but the food was outstanding

Tasty Italian snacks. Good food too.

A hidden gem on petersgate in Stockport. Always good food even with the 11.95 special Monday to Thursday. I don't really want to share this place but it's too good not to. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Pop into the petersgate tap afterwards for a fine selection of drinks.

Wish I had read the previous review. Ribs were identical to the cheap microwave packets from the supermarket. My daughter’s seafood dish was cold in the middle. (She is Autistic and was getting agitated so wouldn’t let me send it back). My Canelloni however was nice - so was the garlic bread. 1 large glass of red wine and 1 coffee and a small saucer of olives and the bill was just short of £70. Again, couldn’t question because of my daughter’s issues and we were going to a show afterwards so didn’t want to spoil our night.

Started off looking for a cafe to get a sandwich this lunch time but found this place. Great lunch menu, food and service were excellent. Thanks.

Avoid the ribs, for £9 you expect more than a plate of bones with gristle on them, they were sent back. 2 meals were served cold and were sent back. The food is mediocre at best, there are far nicer Italian restaurants in Marple and Hazel Grove. Won’t be back.

Decent Italian Restaurant in the heart of Stockport. Have been to this restaurant several times and have always had quality meals. On this occasion I opted for the starter of fried squid which was lovely. My main course was the Calzone, which was massive and even defeat me, but was freshly made with excellent Italian ingredients. A great place to eat if you’re in and around Stockport Town Centre on an evening and want good food at good prices.

A family dinner when everyone decided to try out the pizzas - they were delicious! Just the perfect size and lots of toppings to choose from. The desserts were also excellent - Tiramisu was home made and also the cheesecake are both highly recommended. Definitely worth a visit

Aquila Nera ristorante and pizzeria what a hidden little gem. First time in here today and wont be the last, cant wait for the next visit.

We wanted a (fairly) quick lunch and had the two-course special. Lovely subtle flavours, and the service was excellent - really helpful and friendly. That makes a big difference to how much I enjoy a meal. Very good value too and I will certainly go there again.

Visited pre a theatre visit to the Plaza . Small very friendly Italian, lovely food and very pleasant service. Staff were very helpful and there was a nice atmosphere. Good value for money and great tasting dishes…will be returning

I very rarely leave reviews and I have left positive ones before. This restaurant was selected to take my mum out for a birthday meal. It was just awful. Ham in cabanara was the cheap packet cut ham you buy from super market. The lady when j explained replied well nobody has complained before then walked straight away. We wete then made to pay a service charge as we didn't want to make a fuss. Really awful place

We hosted a charity night and ordered 20 pizzas to our distillery, which were delivered piping hot, fresh and were absolutrly delicious1 Great service, would definitely recommend this hidden gem.

Amazing food hospitality is amazing, Friendly kind and they go out if the way to make you feel great Highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent food, friendly staff, couldn't be better.

This is the best place the food is perfect service is perfect i love this family restaurant.

Was in Stockport for a meeting and left it wanting a nice meal with a big glass of wine to relax before getting on the train. Could not have picked a better restaurant than Aquila Nera. Came in at 2pm but that was no problem. Ordered off a very modestly priced lunch menu with plenty of options. Starter of bruschetta was excellent - might be first time I've appreciated how important the rubbing of garlic on the bread is, gave a perfect flavour against the sweetness of the tomato and sharpness of red onion. Main of cannelloni with a bolognesse filling and surrounded by a lovely tomato sauce. And a big glass of good Nero d'Avola. I left Aqiila Nera well fed and happy.

Simply good food and responsive service

Bought a groupon and tried to book online no available dates until June. Tried to book over the phone to be told you have to do it via the groupon app and they are fully booked anyway. Called in tonight to see if there were any tables they were empty but they still refused us a table. Not very good business procedure. Very disappointed as the restaurant itself and the good is lovely.

Very good service perfectly cooked steak.

This was our first visit. We were not disappointed. The food is superb. The staff deserve a mention. They are very attentive. Could not fault anything. We will definitely be returning.

First time here. Used our Groupon deal and the food was excellent. Staff really friendly. Will definitely use this restaurant again.

The food was quite good and the service was good. Would recomend.

The service was brilliant and the food unbelievably tasty!

Fantastic food great service will definitely be going back

Nice waiters & waitress. Food is good and the place is quiet for a family or friends diner. Price was also good. Though you can have pizzas and pasta almost everywhere it's worth the visit.

The restaurant was full on entering, which was a positive sign, but slow service. It took an hour to have the starters brought to our table. Plus the drinks order took a while. All meals were ok, but nothing special. Waitress did apologise for the slow service. Possibly caught it on an off day.

My go to Italian Restaurant. Consistently good, which is why I return time and again.

Visited as a couple a few days before Christmas. Restaurant was very quiet, much nicer inside than I had imagined. Food was lovely, probably the best tomato garlic bread I've ever tasted. Service was good. They got one of our orders wrong and were very apologetic about it. Will definitely be returning soon!

Food was amazingly good . Service was great. My new Italian to go to

Amazing food and staff. Love going here ever since I moved to Stockport. Hopefully it's a business that remains after all this madness.

Love this place. Will return time and time again. Highly recommend. Service. Food. Ambiance

Really enjoyed the dinner time deal, great value and sevice

Lovely atmosphere and food was amazing. The best mushroom risotto I have had.

First class. I've not enjoyed Italian food this much outside Italy. Staff friendly and efficient. Everything is very clean a pleasant atmosphere

Amazing food and fab atmosphere!

Excellent food and friendly service 👌

I was really impressed with this restaurant! The food was excellent, the staff were great & it is really lovely inside. Great for a very pleasant evening meal.

Great food and friendly service. Recommended.

Lovely place first time we've been. Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely food ,very tastey great price on the lunchtime menu good portions size very good service .

Absolutely brilliant, deserves more attention. Brilliant staff, better food

Lovely food as always go in quite regularly and the owner is very welcoming and pleasant and quite good prices

The best Italian in Stockport in my opinion, would highly recommend. Food is delicious and the staff are lovely. Really can't fault this restaurant at all, really nicely decorated inside as well and very clean.

Excellent. Nice food, service with a smile. Will definitely go again

Amazing free house with a great selection of beer and other beverages. A nice place to sit and talk.

Absolutely incredible food, with nice drinks and lovely staff ! Couldn’t have enjoyed the evening more !

Great food at a very reasonable price, service excellent and very friendly

Really disappointing. Literally no meat on the ribs, sauces were thick and gloopy, waitress forgot the drinks .. overall quite dissatisfied

The food here is first rate good prices friendly service

We went today for food. This was our first time but won't be our last. The staff are lovely and welcoming, the food tasted amazing and the portions huge. We have been looking for a great Italian place to replace our old favourite, I think our search is done

Very few vegan/vegetarian options, but nice atmosphere and good service.

We ate here for the first time last night, it definitely won't be the last. Tasty food at good prices. The staff we polite and friendly, we've already told everyone what a great place it is.

Fabulous food nice atmosphere! Reasonably priced

We go alot, our favourite Italian

We love this place, fabulous service, amazing food, all the drinks you'd want...always top notch. Try the meatballs, they are so tasty and fresh.

Great service and staff. Little issue with the order. But sorted very professionally.

Lovely restaurant. The service was impeccable, everything was spotless and the food was amazing. A note to remember is that the portions are huge. For the money charged you would think that the portion sizes are reasonable and for the starters this is true. The mains are where it gets really big. I received twice as much salmon as i was expecting. So in summary: absolutely amazing, just make sure you bring your appetite and wear stretchy trousers.

This spot provides excellent service as well as yummy menu. My favourite place ever. The meals served rapidly and the prices were fair. Highly recommended.

Exceptional spot to eat food when in a hurry. Their service is rapid, prices are convenient, good vibes. Will come visit again

Just had a takeaway from here and had to ring them to tell the staff how fabulous it was! Probably the best takeaway we have had during lockdown. Highly recommended

Excellent food prepared cooked and served to the highest standard .

About as much kerb appeal as an office block, but within hides a superb dining experience. My wife and I tried it a few months ago on a whim and weren't disappointed. A month later we brought the family and they all loved it too.They have a website and Facebook page so you can view their menu's and opening times. During covid they offer a take away service which is also pretty good.Disabled acces is good with normal parking and electric charge points outside and just around the corner is a big car park for Stockport centre.The restaurant is quite large with plenty of space between tables during covid.Never checked to toilets.The portion sizes are a little big and always freshly cooked using local produce where they can. You can take away left overs too which is nice.Staff are friendly and attentive.The only fault really is with the decor. Nice inside but bland by the door and front windows.

Doesn't look anything special from the outside but the food is Fantastic.

Lovely food decent polite non pushy staff shining review for both food and hospitality 🙂

Great place, with a nice peaceful atmosphere for a chill and tasty meal.

Great food and service. We had the lunch deal and it was brilliant

This spot never disappoints. They serve excellent food for affordable rates, there no long wait even when the place is loaded.

Came on a Groupon in August with another couple and wow we weren't disappointed.In a central location in Stockport right near the food hall, there is also parking right outside if needed.The restaurant opens up to be quite large inside and well displayed.We had a mixture between us, this included meatballs and garlic bread starters, pasta and pizza mains.The portions and quality of the food was outstanding with service to match, well worth a visit.

Great lunchtime menu, very good priced x2 course meal in a trendy style restaurant.

Low quality of food, not really authentic Italian. Authentic food like pizza needs woodfire, for the rest all food seems frozen.

lovely food and excellent service

Fabulous food again tonight and amazing staff making sure everyone is safe and enjoying their meal out.

The restaurant is great and spacious, the menu was delicious and the rates were very inexpensive. quickly, effective service and very attentive staff members. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

I constantly arrive grabbing some food in this place. I love the efficient service and well prepared food. 5 stars from me.

Fantastic little gem, the food is amazing and excellent service & they do great set menus at affordable prices. I highly recommend this restaurant 🤗👍❤️

I often walk past the restaurant but thought I'd try it for a change and I wasn't disappointed ! Excellent fresh food , warm welcome , very courteous staff !

Great quality food and also really good value...£13 for 2 courses early bird. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back...would definitely recommend 😊

Lovely little restaurant. Friendly staff and delicious food. Well worth a visit!

Took my family as it was my daughter's 2nd birthday. Had to choose from the lunch menu as they had a chef for lunch and 1 for evening. I was disappointed as I really wanted a steak, however the food I had was lovely. The starter garlic mushrooms lovely and risotto for main was nice and creamy. We took a cake and the waitress put some candles on it and happy birthday came on. Lovely afternoon thank you

Absolutely fantastic food and wonderful service!

Very tasty and interesting pizzas

Called in for set menu, fantastic value, family business, great service, nothing was too much trouble.

I eat here a lot since I work close by. I like how their service is always awesome and they keep the place well organized regularly. Rates are fair and they serve large portions.

Great value for money,staff friendly,nice atmosphere, consistently good food.

3 of us went on a business trip. 2 of us in the team thought it was the best Italian they had ever had and the other thought if it was definitely one of the best meals they had had in a while. Well done. Will be returning next time we are in Stockport

Nice restaurant. Good value if you get in early on an offer. Best of booking if you want a table in the main part of the restaurant otherwise you seem to be put near the entrance in the window. However this is a quiet table which is sometimes nice. Good quality food. Clean restaurant and staff are OK.

We came to this restaurant for dinner. This spot was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very successful. we were warmly welcomed by the crew and we had a great feeling. The meal was tasty. We loved this place very much and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We recommend this place to all.

Perfect, staff are welcoming and goes beyond the services I was excepted. I will be returning again.

The food was really well prepared and presented! A favourite place to visit when in town

we had a late lunch some chose the set menu others a la carte . We all loved our meal servic was great nothing too much troule . Although it stated close at 3pm we were not rushed at all and it was almost 4pm when we left

Not wishing to sully the good people of Stockport but I fail too see how Aquila Nera achieved 4.5 After being brought the wrong starter we were presented with Cozze Alla Crema, not as you may expect, shallots, white wine, cream but cream, saffron and garlic, creating a very sticky sauce which you were expected to eat with your hands. When we asked for a finger bowl we were presented with a stainless steel sundae cup:. See picture below. No lemon slice. My girlfriends fingers were stained yellow (see picture). To which the waitress replied " I cant see anything wrong with that". The filet steaks were veiny and the home made Tiramisu was a joke, thin, tasteless and clearly frozen, ice crystals in the base and water oozing from it. Later that evening Allison got stuck in a toilet cubicle (Door handle broken off on the inside), and needed rescuing by a patron. Upon mentioning this to finger bowl girl the reply was " your own fault for using that cubicle” (the other didn't have any paper).... After complaining to the manager..."She's only 17 what do you expect". In all a very disappointing evening. The only good thing was the garlic bread and the Barbera D’Asti at £20.50 a bottle, although finger bowl girl did not offer me the opportunity to sample it. JB’s advice, give this place a wide berth. Do not follow the 4.5 rating. Probably OK for a pizza as the garlic bread was good. Just don’t get to adventurous..... oh and take a survival kit when using the toilets.

Popped in by chance before going the the Plaza. Food was excellant, would highly recommend. staff great too.

Wouldn’t remove the service charge when asked as it was policy to charge. Even though I was leaving a tip

Just visited this restaurant, food good but a couple of issues no way of cleaning fingers after a mussels, Which are always messy.plus tagliatelle Mariana was described as having baby octopus none evident.when commenting on it didn't seem to be received well.wil think hard before going again

Stumbled across this Italian in Stockport From outside looked clean and menu appeared reasonable Service was good, staff attentive and friendly however I’m sorry to say food was disappointing Starter if pate was average at best. Soggy bread and salad on plate poor certainly was fresh Mains of Seafood Risotto at first looked delicious. Plate was very hot and food was piping hot. This was very clearly either cooked, completed or indeed reheated in a microwave. Side salad again wasn’t fresh tomatoes were off. Olives disgusting All in all very disappointing Food doesn’t do decor or service any justice at all

Service was good however wasnt sold on the food. Mushroom risotto was bland but not awful. Very disappointed with the tiramisu. No flavour. The base wasnt soaked in alcohol or coffee flavouring. The others I were with liked their food though so it could just be me being picky.
