I visited here with colleagues for a mid-week evening meal. There are some great deals on such as early bird where you get three courses for £16.95. I opted for that as the options I was going to get for starter and main were on there anyway and it worked out cheaper to do that than order them from the main menu (plus I got dessert in the early bird price too!) Starter of fried halloumi was really nicely cooked and a perfect sized portion. My colleague had calamari but they felt it was a bit soggy for their liking. For main I had penne dolca vita which was really tasty, It was nicely cooked, had a decent kick and flavour and was suitably portioned. Dessert I had ice-cream which was fine. Overall we had a good evening here and the food was a standard expected of a good Italian restaurant. Service was friendly and generally efficient. Would recommend for a good value Italian meal

Went with a few friends for one of our colleagues leaving meal, the service was excellent, the food was delicious and very reasonable and because it was s Monday night and we ordered from the a la carte we got s bottle of wine free! A very friendly restaurant that I would highly recommend! Great menu choice! If anything too much choice, took us ages to decide as everything sounded amazing from pasta, pizza, Moroccan dishes to fillet steak! Something for everyone! Highly recommend here, it’s s regular meeting point for myself!

Came here for a special birthday meal. Waited 1.5 hrs for a pasta dish and a lasagna. Got wrong dish after waiting so long! Asked For bottle of wine got a glass, asked for a second glass of wine waited 15 mins for the wrong wine. Starter arrived, where ok - basic. 2 waitress’s on who where clearly not trained or happy! But not there fault! One asked if we would like the bill - we hadn’t even had any food yet! We left after 1.5 hrs and went somewhere else! Paid for what we had drank/ate! Music very loud and pop music - we asked if they could turn it down! Overall not a great experience at all, won’t be returning.

I have visited Il Padrino many times with my family and also with friends. The food is excellent quality and exceptional value- highly recommended! Service is friendly. Waiting on staff are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I am waiting for it to re-open after lockdown as I know it will be safe and food just as delicious. If you are in Ormskirk, pay them a visit as you won't be disappointed.

Found this little gem online was a bit spectacle at first seemed to good to be true this restaurant is offering 2 for 1 on mondays and bottle of wine on the whole menu. The food was excellent service brilliant relaxed atmosphere were else can you get this bargain we had starter main 1 desert two coffees and 2 glasses of lemonade all for £42 not forgetting the wine my partner doesn't like wine but he enjoyed this. I throughly recommend this restaurant book early to avoid disappointment. I wish to thank the manager and staff for such a lovely experience. We will be going back on a different night because I would like to try the pasta dishes and cocktails. As the menu is so vast I think we will have to go back at least a hundred times to sample everything on the menu just absolutely loved this restaurant

Our meals were adequate, but the service was so slow. There were only about 4 covers in, so no excuse. When the waiter finally came to take our order we had to point out that we hadn’t even been given the menu yet. Took nearly 15 minutes to take payment after giving us the bill. The waiter belied his youth by adopting a strangely old fashioned and, some might say, sexist way, of speaking only to the male and totally ignoring the female of our couple.

We are regular customers but will not return. Visited last night for a meal with family. Despite there appearing to be plenty of staff waited ages for drinks to arrive and for food order to be taken. Waiting staff paid little attention to customers, and chatted behind the bar, as such people were clearly struggling to get drinks and orders. After waiting an hour we were informed that they had 'lost' our order, offered no apology and waiter proceeded to argue when we complained. We left without getting any food with very fed up, hungry and upset children. Really disappointing.

Booked table for family celebration at 6.30. On time, after constantly chasing uninterested and insolent staff, placed order. At 8.45 told order was lost! Restaurant nearly empty so what did they think we were doing. When we complained, waiter basically squared up to me, manager stood to one side and did nothing. Used to be good but with this attitude is clearly about to close. Just avoid.

I come il padrino a lot and always enjoy it but tonight the service was awful! I do believe because the manager was not in but all the staff just hanging around the bar area. We waited for 35 mins and still no one came to take our order so I went to bar and mentioned we needed our order taken. As I came back I noticed table next to us had been finished their mains for over 20 mins and still not cleared. They took our order and still ignored table next to us. It wasn’t until our starters came out that the table next to us eventually got cleared. Then once we had finished our mains no one asked us for desserts or anymore drinks. Completely ignored and forgotten about which is so poor from a restaurant which I would normally view as good but I do believe the terrible service is due to no manager being in. I also want to mention how the restaurant was not busy. I have been here on much busier nights when the service has been much better.

Went here because of reviews. The food was terrible, starter of mushroom and mozzarella was dry and over cooked and very small. The side salad was old and brown - should never have been out in the plate. I had steak ordered medium well was very well done and dry and the chips had obviously been cooked in the same fryer as fish as you could taste it. The pasta dish again was over cooked and dry. We were also over charged on our bill. Would not go back or recommend. The only thing from all the good reviews is that the chef has changed.

Been here twice recently. First was lunchtime when we had pizza and pasta. Absolutely top drawer, tasted like they used really authentic ingredients, as if I was back in Italy. Very pleasantly surprised. Much better and cheaper than a few flashy Italian places in the area I could mention, but won't - some Italian restaurants make everything too doughy, so it just feels like you've got a mouthful of white flour.

We had a lovely meal. They have a two for one offer on Mondays, and included a free bottle of wine if we ordered two starters and two main courses, so even though we both had steak, it was very reasonable. The starters were delicious - we had the bruschetta and the ribs, which were gorgeous. We both had sirloin steaks, which were cooked exactly as required, had very little fat and the sauces were delicious. The staff were friendly and seemed to genuinely care whether we were enjoying our meal or not. The assistant manager was very attentive and gave us a free shot each of limoncello after the meal. I would definitely recommend Il Padrino and I'm sure we'll be back.

We live locally and this is our regular restaurant for date night. We have always had good service and food but tonight my husbands food just wasn’t up to scratch and he didn’t eat it. So we complained - told them we always enjoyed the food it it was not right tonight. Well there was nothing they could do - we suggested the chef try it - but we’re told no need they know it’s fine - But it wasn’t. As very regular customers we thought they would reduce the billl - no- we were told very sternly we had to pay - so did. The card machine is always broken but miraculously worked when challenged We are so unhappy about this as we love this place usually. Probably won’t go again now and as local people we will tell all our friends. Such a shame.

We came here on Monday 17th with 9 of us for my boyfriend's birthday with all his family. We booked the table 3 days in advance. I called again 2 hours before we where due to go to say there was a cake on the way to them for my boyfriend this was when they informed me no such booking has been made and we had no table down I said we definatley did he then checked with staff and then apologised saying they had forgot to write it down and that he would sort something out. I have been to this restaurant about 10 times now and never ever knew there was an upstairs as this isn't advertised. I turned up on crutches I can't walk on my foot as it's broken. He looked at me and said oh it's upstairs is that ok? I said well not really they didn't try to sort it out just basically said we had to go upstairs when it was there fault they messed up the booking! So all that was annoying I had to hop upstairs. But then the food here is always lovley so we stayed. The starters and mains where both gorgous I had baked mushrooms and clam pasta and both where lovley everyone loved the food so if it where just the food in question this review would be 5 star. It was the customer service and organisation that spoiled it. There was one lad I don't know the names but he tried to sort out the mistake safe by others and I felt sorry for him but there was one sister who walked off downstairs in the middle of us speaking trying to order drinks we had to ask him could he stand still while we speak! He then only brought one drink just forgot the rest we had to re order them and then one meal was brought out wrong and had to be sent back and they brought out something no one had ordered. Maybe it was out fault for going with such a large part on the busiest day because Monday is 50 percent off. What i will say is isn't be put off definatley go here it's worth it but if you are going in a large party make sure you state on booking if u can't do stairs and make sure to go any day but monday.monfay is fantastic because of the deal but might be more successful in a small group.

Wanted to take my wife out to celebrate my birthday 13/7. Booked a table for 1900.Steaks arrived at 19.46. Overcooked and toughish. Apologised to and told that our wine was free because of our trouble. Not so. Paid in full except for a Peroni lager that was free for our trouble. Been there a few times but no more. Disappointed.

always busy on Monday night as half price, when I booked I was told they needed the table back at 7.30, fine by us, not made a bit welcome when we arrived, waitress very curt & unfriendly, ordered a beer which didn't arrive. The main course came at 7pm, so we felt rushed.The food was delicious but I was too up tight to enjoy it. Dreadful loud music so couldn't hear each other. Some friends go every Monday & love it, but we felt very unwelcome.

We booked here as it is our usual go-to spot for special occasions; food and service are usually always outstanding. However, the past few times that we have been, we’ve noticed a few things have been slipping. On our last visit, for my sister’s birthday, my dad and sister both ordered a fillet steak with pâté, to be cooked rare - when the food came out, only one of the pâté steaks arrived (without the pâté), and then we were told that we had only ordered 1 (which we definitely hadn’t) my Dad was a little disappointed with his meal because the steak he received was a little overdone and there was no more left to replace it - not the end of the world, however, It would not have been so bad if we weren’t sat directly opposite to the kitchen and bar, having to listen to the arguing that was going on between staff. It left us feeling a bit awkward and in the way. After eating our food - which was mostly all delicious (as usual) - we discovered that on the bill, an extra meal had been added on, and when I challenged the waitress - who took our order at the beginning - I was told that it was correct, and had to explain repeatedly that it was not...it is simple maths, paying for 9 meals, despite there only being 8 in our party, isn’t correct (I can see from previous posts that this has been a recurring theme!). I hope that this was just a one-off as we really want to come back again to this lovely little restaurant, it’s usually a great place to eat.

My Husband and i was walking past II Padrino and decided to go in and have the Early Bird menu.On arrival we were shown to a table for two people,i noted as i was walking in there were only three tables so i thought we should get served quite quickly.Our order was taken,but we seemed to be waiting a long time for our starter,in the meantime another couple came in and ordered.We were still waiting for our starter,then the other couple were given there starter and we were still sat there.We then told waiter we have been waiting nearly 25 mins for our starter,he went to kitchen then turned up with it,no apology given.The waiters kept going to the front door to see if they could get anyone else in,they really should of been looking after the people who were already in there and waiting to be served.The mains were really nice and i wont let this put me off going again,if it happens again i won't return...

We went tonight with my parther, sister and my dad. We had 2 courses each 1 cocktail and 2 pints and it all came to 50 pounds! Monday is the 50 percent off everything deal and if you get 2 courses each you get a free bottle of wine and the house white is really nice. The lasagne is the best lasagne I have ever had and I have been to Italy! Honestly give this place a go it's amazing. The staff are lovley and there are italian waiting staff as well. Fantastic place gorgous food

What used to be a lovely restaurant has become a victim of it's own success. The food is still lovely, yet the service has just become a joke.

We have dined here quite often and left positive reviews but after our last experience we won't be returning in a hurry. We should have realised when the couple next to us waited an hour for there mains, our garlic bread starter took nearly 40 minutes and no offer of black pepper we had not quite finished when our mains came,

We booked for a family group of 16 which included three under 6 but wish we went to somewhere more family friendly. The menu has plenty of choice although the majority went for the specials board choices (around £25 surf & turf fillet steak). I had a prawn starter which was approx £7 for 3 battered prawns and sirloin main £16 (asked for medium rare got medium, was so hungry I just ate it, was ok). The chips were those thin frozen type which made the meal look average but by the time the food was served we were all starving as there was around an hour in between ordering starters and them arriving. So everyone ate the lot, don’t get me wrong, food wasn’t bad just underwhelming. The kids all chose the ‘make your own pizza’ option which was one of the reasons we chose the restaurant, assuming that they were child friendly. The menu stated that kids would also get to wear ‘chefs’ hats but they had none when we asked. This was a disappointment as we’d already told the kids about them, due to the long wait between ordering the kids were restless and 2 cried as they were so hungry, I also started to feel uncomfortable due to the other diners having to listen to the restless kids which I know is a nuisance when you’re out for a meal and they are not your own! We had to prompt the staff for kids drinks, deserts (they didn’t offer the desert at all, we definitely felt they just wanted us to go!), they didn’t understand the needs of a family with small children.

Second visit to this lovely little restaurant and didn't disappoint us. Fifty percent of all meals and a free bottle of wine on a Monday, make sure to book a table! The food was delicious and the staff, although very busy, were attentive and seemed genuinely happy to make sure everything was okay for everyone. The young girl, sorry I didn't get your name, was brilliant. Definitely will be returning.

Absolutely packed but as usual Joe had everything under control and made sure everything ran smoothly Having to train new staff as he went along. He went out of his way to welcome his guests and escorted them to the door as they left. A true gentleman! I hope you are well paid as you are doing the job of matre de, trainer, waiter jack of all trades. No, I am not his mother but someone lwho has worked in the customer service for years. Oh, sorry the food was delicious.

Went with Family for a get together, food was amazing very flavoursome and well presented. Service started a little slow but can't fault it, atmosphere great the only negative is the place was a little cold. Prices are very reasonable for what you receive on the plate, it's a must if you like good food.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Quattros for many years, visiting regularly with friends and family and spending thousands over time. However, after tonight’s experience, I won’t be returning. I dined there with my brother, who ordered a pepperoni pizza with chicken breast pieces. The bill came to nearly £100 for two pizzas, two garlic breads with cheese, two chips, and 3.5 pints of Peroni. I questioned the amount, and Paul, the staff member, confirmed the total before I paid and left. Afterward, I called to ask about the charges, only to be told that the chicken on the pizza cost an additional £20! This is completely unreasonable and feels like an attempt to overcharge loyal customers. To charge £20 for a few pieces of chicken on a pizza is excessive, and it has left me deeply disappointed. I’ve enjoyed many meals here over the years, but after this experience, I won’t be coming back. It’s a shame that a place I once enjoyed has lost its value.

Superb food. Lovely restaurant. Friendly service, but overcharged as one of the meals was from the 2 courses for £20 menu, yet the items were charged at the alacarte rate totalling £30.90. We only noticed when we returned home If you offer a special lunch menu you should ensure you charge the right amount. This added around 10% to our bill notwithstanding the tip we left . That said we will return, but will definitely check the bill.

What a great find. We came for an early tea as we were going to an event. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and we were given a very warm welcome. The service was perfect and the pasta was the best I’ve tasted for years. Really flavourful, delicate and piping hot. Followed by scrummy ice cream. Even a perfect pot of tea, and that’s rare these days. Prices extremely reasonable. Definitely one to visit again. Thanks to the chef and lovely staff.
