Food was ok. Pizza wasn't great can make better base at home with normal oven. Food wasn't terrible.... Wasn't great either. Can't recommend as there are so many other places doing better food for the price. Service was good, staff were very friendly, Shame the food isn't quite up to it.

Have not visited this restaurant for some time and was pleasantly surprised at the vast selection on the menu, good value for money and great service. It’s a great spot by the canal so if weather permits you can sit outside. Food was very tasty and the range of dishes offered included non Italian options. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and worked hard. If you park they will check with you and sort as the car park is monitored. The staff worked hard and I recommend you give it a go. I had a chicken dish with tomato, peppers and chilli, it was well executed and very enjoyable.

My husband called in to see if it was a dog friendly restaurant, he was told we could sit outside or get a takeaway. When he came back to tell me we decided to go to the local pub, however they didn’t cook on a Wednesday so we decided to get a takeout. We ordered a drink and whilst doing so we saw that there was a dog in the restaurant. We ordered food and when my husband went to pay he queried that there was a dog inside and he said he’d bern told they were not dog friendly, the waiter said they were the owners. This is very wrong. If it is not dog friendly it shouldn’t matter whose dog it is. Anyway we enjoyed our drink in the outside area and when our takeaway arrived, I was shocked at the small boxes. We opened them up and there was a small 9” pizza and I had a small meal of Kofta, it said with fries flatbread hummus and tasiki. In fact it was a small portion of fries a tbsp of hummus and tasiki and a half pita bread. The koftas were awful very dry and flavourless. The pizza my husband tasted nice but extremely small for the money. The only good thing was that we got 20% off but still at the price we felt extremely dissatisfied and certainly would not go back.

What a great little restaurant. Italian cuisine with that attention to unobtrusive service that usually only exists on the continent. We dropped in on a scorching Thursday late lunchtime (2pm) expecting "sorry kitchen closed" and met with exemplary hospitality. Food is excellent, on a hot day the shady waterside terrace is gorgeous.

Surprised to see negative reviews about this lovely restaurant. Idyllic setting on the canal, beautiful interior, lovely food at reasonable prices. Great service. What more could you ask. We've only visited twice and on both occasions early evening but have left happy on both occasions. We all commented that the restaurant definitely has a Turkish vibe and if the owners are Turkish maybe steer away from the Italian theme and serve good Turkish food instead / as well. We will return tho for Italian or Turkish cuisine !!

Not impressed at all. Ordered an item without mushrooms yet mushrooms found. This could have been excused but this happened last time I went. Simple request that couldn’t be made. I pointed out that should someone have allergies they would be in serious trouble. I personally will not be returning nor recommending to anyone. A friend had the steak and was very disappointed. Further to this the gents toilet was blocked and not clean. Such a shame as the place looks good with nice location.

We arrived and we're shown to our table and given menus. We waited ages for someone to ask about drinks. While we were waiting i overheard the waitress telling another customer there was no asparagus. When she eventually came to take our orders this wasn't mentioned and i ordered the chicken pollo which contained asparagus and nothing was said so I thought I had misheard her. The meal arrived minus the asparagus with no alternative and was really bland and tasteless. We all had different meals but all said the same. The staff were really miserable with long faces. We then had to wait ages for the bill and then they didn't bring the card machine so we all got up and went to the counter where we paid and left. Definitely would not go back.

We have been here before and had an enjoyable meal but sadly this wasn’t the case on this occasion. We went early evening on a Tuesday so it was understandably quiet with only two other tables occupied The starter was nice enough we had the sucuk and halloumi We ordered spaghetti bolognese and a lasagne and a garlic bread for mains The spaghetti bolognese was a plate of congealed, overcooked pasta and what looked like a whole jar of passata dumped over some cooked mince. It tasted of nothing but tomato’s and was nothing like a traditional ragu. The lasagne was boiling hot on the outside and lukewarm in the middle, obviously microwaved, with the same tomato tasting mince and some very watery sauce, served with some greasy undercooked chips. In fairness the garlic bread was lovely but overall a very disappointing meal. After sitting for over 15 minutes, in an empty restaurant, waiting for our plates to be cleared we eventually got up and went to pay If you’re looking for a traditional Italian with classic Italian food done well, then I’d look somewhere else

It’s like the food is frozen. The pizza is undercooked. They don’t serve what’s described on the menu. Sauce tastes like it’s from tesco, mixed frozen seafood bag, risotto and pasta over cooked. Mussel shell in food and then 2/3 mussels closed.

Visited on a Sunday evening. Warm welcome. One of our party (of two) is a coeliac. Always a challenge with Italian restaurants. But, they absolutely catered and understood the dietary needs. As they were busy, we ordered some olives and bread to start. Without asking, they catered bringing a gluten free roll. Nice touch - if I was going to be pedantic, the olive oil and balsamic dip should have been served in two bowls. But it was very impressive. Mains arrived and both meals were excellent. Dishes were served with hand cooked chips and both options were really well cooked. Not greasy, just flavoursome and tasty! Desserts - we opted to share a gluten free (vegan) cheesecake. It was very nice. Overall, really impressed. Service was also good. Would recommend and would return.

We visited The Barchetta Restaurant on a Wednesday and even though at first (1700) we were the only ones in however within half an hour it began to fill up. The service was excellent very friendly and helpful staff. The venue has a lovely relaxing feel. There were children in and they were made to fell welcome. Don't know about pets as there weren't any in. The food was served piping hot and of a good size and arrived in good time. Drinks are also responsible priced for a restaurant. NOTE; Car parking is good but is privately owned, so be sure to make a note of your registration number to let the staff know as it is FREE TO CUSTOMER'S.

Considering it's a short walk up the canal for us, from Malkins Bank, it's somewhere we should come more often. This is the second time we've come for dinner. It wasn't really busy at all when we arrived and the staff were really attentive. When we left it got busier with a big reserved table, but the noise wasn't excessive. We paid up after feeling more than full after a starter and main (excellent portions), then had two espresso martinis out on the front tables. We had a really friendly, pleasant and polite waitress who had said hello before we had even got through the door! This is really a Sandbach gem worth visiting. We'll be back soon again we hope!

It is not often we write negative reviews, and the restaurant manages to sort out our perceived issue with the food. This restaurant has, for many years, been one of our favourites. We dine here every time we are in the area. The setting and the decor are excellent. The staff friendly and polite. The prices are modest. Sadly the food was not good. We ordered two main courses which arrived very quickly indeed which suggested just a reheat. The portions were on the generous side, but the quality was poor. Coffee to finish was very good indeed. The restaurant was almost empty which suggests a recurring problem. We do hope they sort it out and it once again becomes one of our favourite restaurants.

I agree with a previous contributor that the environment is Italian but the food seems more rustic than normal. The seafood pasta was served with spaghetti not linguine but I did ask before ordering and still went with it but they did not allow an alternative; most peculiar for an authentic Italian? The calves liver was presented in a bowl in large chunks rather than sliced thinly with herbs; we ordered two but only one left on a Sunday evening? Again, unexpected and the portion provided was immense! Sea Bass was ok, fresh and well cooked; the veggie calzone came on its own with a dollop of tomato sauce on top. No effort made to make it look worth eating either. We ordered house Red; fine. When we ordered another bottle there was no more available? House Red surely not? So all-in-all we had an enjoyable time here but certainly not up to normal Italian standards and some attention to detail is needed when presenting the food. We have been here twice before and the food this time was not as good as in the past but, having said all of that, we would still return just in case they were having staffing problems this time around.

Meh, so slooooooow. After hearing about the hype, I was really disappointed. The menu was, in my opinion, limited. Our first choice of main was sold out, at 7:30pm, hardly late for a Saturday evening. The suggested alternative a seafood risotto took approximately 45 mins and when it came it was saltier than the Dead Sea. The waiting staff were lovely, but too few and rushed off their feet.
