We stumbled across this while out as a family group of 9. The staff were super attentive and the food was prompt and delicious. Our meal was one of the best I have experienced in the last few years eating out in the Uk and overseas. I would highly recommend this place. I had the tagliatelle docelatte 👌 The Italian wines were very nice also.

We have been visiting Ciao Napoli for years and is always our go to! From our the children being toddlers to now in their teens and this is their fave Italian. Lovely little place, really cosy, cost effective, attentive staff who always make you feel welcome! By far the best food around, fresh and tasty!

Nipped in here last week, and despite being a cosy small place they always manage to do their best to fit us in for a table. Food is always delicious, this time the kids had pizza which they all loved, I had the chicken dish which was delicious and the steak looked great too. Always pleasantly surprised when the bill arrives and never feel I’m waiting at all when I need any service. Great little place for a really authentic bit of food, best in Bolton in my opinion.

We had ordered the Christmas menu 9 persons - we booked for 12-30 lunch. We were told on arrival that the roast potatoes weren't cooked and would be 90 mins ! He offered us chips instead ! The Turkey was dry and no flavour the veg was hard the chips were frozen ones , and the gravy was very salty . The attitude of the manager was he couldn't care less . Italian food they can handle, but traditional English Christmas lunch they hadn't a clue . I would not recommend .

This was a restaurant we hadn't visited for a long, long time and we've been missing out. It was a Thursday night in Bolton and we thought it would be quiet but it was packed and we were very glad we had booked. And it's no wonder it was so busy. They do a great value Meal deal for most of the evening which is a set price for a starter, main course and dessert. This seem very popular indeed. We treated ourselves to a couple of steaks though and they were wonderful. Cooked perfectly, high-quality and so big, we finished them off for lunch, the next day! We ordered a decent red wine to go with them and a nice touch was that they were out of stock of the one we ordered so gave us the next one up which was excellent. The atmosphere was really good and the service superb. It certainly won't be as long Before we visit next time.

It's not unreasonable, I feel, to expect an Italian restaurant to know their way around a Caesar salad, no? Well, apparently it is. I mean, the menu at this place indicates that they do (Fresh grilled chicken breast on a crisp salad, garlic croutons and a homemade Caesar dressing, finished with parmesan shavings) only it bore little resemblance to what they served A ball of mixed leaves bound in a gloop of mayo, completely unhindered by romaine lettuce, served with strips of cold pre-cooked chicken and sprinkled with powdered parmesan, all served with, get this, chopped tomato and cucumber. Yes, seriously. The Antipasto Misto to start was basically a few odds and sods from the pizza topping tubs served with a few strips of that most authentic of Italian cheeses, Cheddar. The hospitability industry claims to be on it's knees, yet if this place is anything to go by then that'll have little to do with Lockdown.

Ordered from CN via Just Eat. Went to pick food up for 7:15, which was the time promised. I got there and the food wasn’t ready. They told me to wait five minutes but I ended up waiting 15... as a result I got a parking ticket. Not happy that the food wasn’t done for that time. Secondly the risotto we ordered wasn’t cooked properly. The middle of the rice was too al-dente and almost raw. Staff were very polite though and apologised for the delay. The food tasted lovely; it was purely time and service that was disappointing.

Ordered a pizza, a garlic bread and chips via just eat and it was the worst takeaway I've ever had. The restaurant can't simply blame the delivery driver either because had the food been decent I would have forgiven the fact it turned up over an hour late and cold. The pizza was worse than a supermarket's cheapest pizza....flat, cheap plastic topping and not even coloured on the base. The pictures they put online are decieving to say the least. The chips were soggy and thin. It's quite obviously they don't know how to make a pizza base, it was a flatbread with cheese on it. First time I've ordered from here and will most definitely be my last. I'd rather buy a supermarket pizza on deliveroo before ordering from here

Where do I begin... As a professional chef working in a well respected Italian restaurant in Manchester City. I went for a pizza with chorizo and RED pepper. Well the pizza was more like a Tesco value flatbread, there was one sliver of GREEN pepper and to be fair the nicest part with the chorizo. So good one lads for dicing that and scattering it on the pizza. My partner had chicken and mushroom tagliatelle which was very unseasoned, there’s more flavour in a bag of ready salted crisps!! Along side, we had ordered garlic bread which turned out to be a great disappointment and absolutely not worth the price tag - the basics were even a let down!! To top it all off, there was absolutely nothing to wash down the extremely dry meal because my coke never arrived with the order. Only pizza and pasta at the end of the day, not something I would class as highly difficult.

Visited tonight with family. Had a lovely 3 course meal, service all fine until we asked for the bill.This was not itemised and came in a lot more expensive then we thought. When we asked for a breakdown it came in less but still more than we calculated. We questioned again as we picked from the 3 courses for £14.95 only told be told after that this offer was not applicable during "eat out to help out" so were charged full price less £10 per head.Disappointed to say the least and will not return purely on principal fact that this should have been pointed out or removed from the menu prior to ordering and not upon request for payment after.All the waitress could do was shrug her shoulders.Please check your bill!!

Visited Ciao Napoli on Sunday evening and took advantage of the 3 courses for £15 deal (What a bargain!)This isn't our first time eating at Ciao Napoli, and most certainly won't be our last. The customer service received from the waitress and manager where second to none. The food was incredible and all cooked to an excellent standard. The only con would be timings - the restaurant was very busy with takeaway orders and it was over an hour after arriving at the restaurant when we got our Pizza's - otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Thanks for the delicious meal and keep up the good work!

Pro's...Steak seasoned very wellAmazing garlic bread -half tomato and chilli, half cheeseMeal qualified for the eat out to help out discountCons...Manager seemed to rush us through the meal, service was quite abrupt at times Zero seasoning on the vegetables that came with the mains. Rubbish portion of potatoes, 3 tiny ones each. Chicken was supposed to be served in a piri piri sauce, not much flavour to it at all, definitely no heat. Tip automatically added to the bill, don't like that. I like to decide what to tip based on the overall experience. Summary...Only cost £25 with the offer but even with the same discount I don't think I would return. I would have definitely complained if it was full price.

Our first visit to Bolton town centre since March and after major difficulties parking we were more than happy with our lunch at Ciao Napoli. Their special 3 course lunch is great value at £9.95 starting with soup which today was delicious Broccoli and Stilton followed by a chicken dish with veg and a small Cannelloni. We finished with two Cappuccino coffees before settling the bill. Many thanks to all staff for good service and Angello in the kitchen. No problems with social distancing and felt 'safe' throughout our visit. Really enjoyed our meals and already booked again for Friday with friends.

StarterI ordered the mushroom starter Funghi Ripieni which is mushrooms with spinach and Parmesan in a tomato sauce. - This was really nice, the dish overall was lovely, it was tasty, and the portion size was perfect. I didn’t get a picture just wolfed it down without thinking. MainI ordered Spigola Al Aglio which is sea bass cooked in garlic, tomatoes, onions, butter and white wine on a bed of rocket. It comes with a portion of potatoes and seasonal vegetables. This was unbelievably tasty, I enjoyed every bite. The flavours really complimented the fish and the colours made it look appealing and appetising. I couldn’t wait to dig in. The sea bass is pictured, the vegetables and potatoes come on a separate dish. The portions size again was perfect not overbearing and after the starter and this I was comfortably full. My partner had the Pizza Americana (meat feast) and he really enjoyed that, tasty, decent size and freshly cooked. PriceBoth portions were priced adequately, for the quality I could not complain at all at the price. I’d happily pay that again. Again drinks are reasonably priced. There is a lunch and evening special menu with a 3 course meal on a budget as well for people who may want a trip out on a budget. StaffThe staff were welcoming, friendly and very attentive. Little things like noticing when your drinks glasses were empty and coming over in good time rather than waiting around and trying to get someone’s attention and drinks / food didn’t take long to arrive at all. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a fairly priced meal of good quality. It’s family friendly so good for families as well as a nice place to go for a date night.

I don’t often eat in Bolton but choose to eat here tonight as my little boy was at a pantomime and it seemed cheap. We arrived early for our booking and were seated straight away, had to ask to order drinks. We then sat waiting for our food order to be taken for about 25 mins, the place wasn’t busy at all and the staff were stood around chatting. Anyway we decided to leave and asked for the bill, the guy just said yes. He never asked why we were leaving or apologised, my partner said to him no one has took our order, he replied ok. My partner then said that they were lucky he was paying for the drinks. The guy just said thanks bye.

The fudge cake was wonderful, my house special cheesecake was nice but let down by canned squirty cream and topped with tinned strawberry’s. Shame, as everything else was very good.

This is a small, unassuming yet welcoming restaurant nestled in the backstreets of Bolton and might easily escape your attention. You would be well advised to give it a try. We did just that and were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed and chose from the set menu which was great value at £13.95 for 3 courses. The quality of the fare far exceeded what you might have expected for the price. Delicious, generous portions served piping hot by warm and friendly staff and washed down by a bottle of the easily gluggable house red. We will certainly be returning.

We went for a family meal on a Saturday night. It’s a small space but I think they make the best use of it they can and it was full so the atmosphere was really good – really “buzzy”. We all had starters and mains. Everyone found something they liked on the menu and all of the meals served were nothing less than “good”. I don’t eat desserts myself but those who did said the choc & caramel cheesecake was “excellent”. Prices were reasonable and staff were very attentive and pleasant on the night particularly the young man and woman who served us.

The website states you can book by email but I did not get a response to my initial email request and therefore, I phoned the restaurant two days later. I requested a table for 7.30 pm but offered to be flexible presuming the restaurant would be busy, based on the reviews I had seen. However, the manager accommodated my request and we duly arrived at the restaurant on time, on Saturday evening.

We visited on quite a busy Saturday evening. Staff were very attentive and food was lovely... Salmon and prawn starter was gorgeous. The only downside was that I felt it was a bit cramped. There were 14 of us and we all enjoyed it, which is saying something.

We enjoyed a very good evening meal at Ciao Napoli. It was early on a Thursday evening and there were about 12 other people dining. We chose to have the 3 course evening special for £13.95. Really good value. i had a plate of antipasti meats, fish and cheese to start, followed by a delicious Calabrese Pizza. My partner had Ribs followed by Pizza Pescatora. We both had desserts, mine was a very good Salted caramel Cheesecake. We had a sparkling water and a Diet coke to drink followed by a baileys latte and an Americano coffee. The bill was a very reasonable £38.35.

Went for a family meal and was told on arrival that there was a problem with the ovens. We decided to wait as an engineer was on the way. As we were waiting we were given complimentary drinks of our choice.

The food was lovely tasty and well proportioned and they have great deals on too. Unfortunately on the dessert we never got our first choices and what I did end up choosing didn’t taste that great I guess it could be personal opinion but it was a millle Feuille with custard filling it was very cold almost frozen and chewy like. The staff were great and attentive. I would go again and try another dessert.

We came to Ciao Napoli again this year as last year was near perfect. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. There weren't many tables filled and the food was only OK. There was a slight problem with the dessert and the waitress had a face on her when we politely mentioned that the added Chocolate Drizzle would be detrimental to my health. The final disappointment was at the till when a 10% Service Charge was added to the bill and there was only 2 of us. A bit naughty.

Came here for lunch midweek with friends. Food was average and service ok but lacked atmosphere. Maybe it's more of an evening restaurant as it didn't give us the urge to return.

I had booked a table well in advance for an evening me, asking about what they do for birthdays to which they said on the phone they can arrange balloons and cake and I said that sounds fine ok then as I told them it was a birthday meal.

There was 11 of us, not one person left a scrap of food. Delicious starters and mains!!! The lemon and lime cheese cake was the best dessert I have ever tasted.

As one of our favourite local restaurants we could not miss their Christmas menu, and we were not disappointed. Our starters included homemade chicken liver pate and mushroom/spinach soup followed by the well prepared traditional Christmas Turkey with the usual trimmings. The meals were delicious and well cooked by Mo and Angello. After a short break we enjoyed homemade Cheesecake and Tiramisu. The 3 course lunch menu at £15.95 was certainly great value for money and many thanks to Jose and the girls for their first class service. Look forward to many more visits in 2019.

Called in a couple of times before Christmas both on my own and with friends/family. I am pleased to say that my friends were impressed with both the service and quality of food even when packed out with hungry diners. Keep up the good work Jose and your merry band of of colleagues, see you soon.

Glad we booked a table because when we arrived the place was buzzing with a party of 20 orientals and later another party of 10 locals. We ordered our free starters, my prawns wrapped in smoke salmon and my wife's mushrooms in white wine sauce both delicious and well presented. We had our usual bottle of Merlot and for our mains my Filetto Diane was perfectly cooked with three veg and amazing gravy, my wife went for the Lamb Chops again to her liking. We shared a cheesecake and finished with liqueurs. The service as always was first class and our thanks to Jose, Diego and Viviana, not forgetting Chef Angello for our excellent meals.

Very highly recommended and I hope this now will be a regular dining place for me !

Took my partner on Sunday for the first time - I have been several times for lunch. Wonderful fresh, cooked to order food at a great price with good staff and cosy atmosphere. What is there not to like? No chain restaurant microwave nonsense here. Thank you will re-visit again for evening dinner.

We had a great time last year and the food and service is amazing! What you call proper italian food unlike these places such as Bella Italia they do not compare at all. Definitely recommend oh and the pizzas and meatballs are gorgeous!

Came here midweek and it was fairly quiet but slowly filled up. The food was delicious, we all had different, and the service was excellent. Not cheap but I wood say it was reasonable for the quality. Rather pay a bit more for quality rather than cheap and cheerful. There is a small specials menu. Only gripe is there is none of the nice draft beer they used to have.

Only people in on a Friday evening -very strange. Waiter did his best to make us feel comfortable but it was odd being the only ones there. Although food was good the vegetables included with the meal were very sparse. We would certainly have ordered more had we realised how little we were getting. There was also quite a long wait between courses -certainly wasn't due to the chef being busy! Overall a good meal though.
