Went in with 12 friends for a birthday meal. All the team we're friendly and accommodating. Starters came out quite fast and we're piping hot. Main courses were also great. Good portion sizes and pricing was as expected. There was a high automatic service charge of put on the bill but the staff were quick to tell us it was suggested not expected. We did leave a tip but not as much as what was on the bill. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely restaurant and parking available outside but it gets busy so we parked just up the road Quickly seated even though we hadn't booked in a lovely booth, lovely decor and a clean tidy restaurant lovely friendly staff, had a small issue with my drink order but sorted out just fine 🙂 Food- Bruschetta peperonata to die for, very tasty and a good portion too. Husbands starter of Prawns looked delicious but I don't eat seafood but smelled lovely Mains- piping hot food 👌🏻 beautiful presentation and very tasty indeed. Ragu parpadelle amazing, husband really enjoyed his pasta dish too, I tried his, wasn't disappointed 😋 Desert of profiteroles beautiful but super chocolatey. Macchiato coffee lovely staff very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Brought home a garlic bread for movie night tomorrow and looking forward to it 👌🏻😋 9.8 out of 10, just lovely 😍

Many issues created here but sadly more by the staff! 1. Our drinks took 15 minutes to come, two at a time 2. Our starters arrived half an hour after ordering 3. One of our starters was burnt so had to be remade and came out after all of us had finished (group of 6) 4. Our mains took an hour to arrive after the starters had been finished 5. Our food was stone cold as were the plates/bowls (despite being warned they were hot) 6. No waiter or waitress came to check on our food so had to twice go and ask for service (drinks) 7. When finally taking our plates the waitress (bless her it was her second day) she asked how the food was and we explained that it wasn't very good but not a big deal and we wanted the bill. She then told another waiter who came to ask why it wasn't good and we explained, who THEN got the manager who then became less discreet in a disagreement with us that the food was not in fact cold as it was freshly made by the TWO, ONLY TWO, chefs, one with "52 years of experience and another with 30." While the restaurant gave us a 20% discount on our food which we were grateful for, however the sheer indiscreet bickering the manager gave us was more disappointing than the food. I recognise that he was trying to make up for the bad food, yet he honestly seemed to just 'butter us up' so we wouldn't leave a bad review. I've never written a bad review of a restaurant before because no experience has ever been this embarrassing. Apparently this isn't the first issue they've had with the food being cold as it's also mentioned in multiple other reviews up to over a year ago!

We are lucky to have Il Padrino on our doorstep, so we are regular customers! The food is fantastic, i’ve tried most dishes but my favourite is the steak which is absolutely ‘melt in your mouth’ delicious! My hubby prefers pasta which is also delicious. Great variety of wines too 🍷 Alberto and all his staff are wonderful and really do make you feel so welcome! Nothing bad to say about Il Padrino, it’s fantastic!

This was our first visit and we thought it was great. The restaurant is deceptively larger than it appears from the street view. We had two pasta dishes, a garlic bread and a house salad plus drinks. The portions were generous and the food was hot and fresh. We had good service.

I was looking for an Italian restaurant for a pre Christmas family meal and wow, what an amazing find! It felt so special from the minute we walked through the door and were greeted by Alberto. The decor is beautiful, the staff are all so friendly yet professional and the food & wine was outstanding, lots of choice and plenty of it to fill my hungry boys! My favourite dessert of all time is creme brulee and this was perfect, just how it should be, creamy on the inside and crunchy on the top! Definitely recommend it and we'll be back! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This will be my last visit to this restaurant, it was like Faulty Towers experience tonight. There was either no service or 3 staff asking for drinks orders. Waited an hour and half for our food, then servers brought the wrong meal for one guest, wrong drink for another, one glass for a couple sharing a bottle of wine, we were not asked if we wanted desserts and overcharged on bill. The food was good, but the service wasn't worth 1*. Shame it could be so good, with competent staff and good Manager. After reading your reply full of denial. How would we couldn't get our complaints heard, as the owner was too busy using his customers as his personal councillors. If I had the wrong restaurant as you claim, how do we know your chief is 72 years old. Your mark up on a bottle of red is £3 and the joints of beef you buy are £75. Because you stood there boring us all with it! 😣 You think your being charming YOUR NOT!

4th visit since refurbishment. Wow! This is a completely different place to what it was. The restaurant looks fabulous, the new guy, Franco, is fantastic, it matters not how busy they are, his manners and professionalism are second to none be that towards costumer or when he is speaking with staff. I will be honest, it’s been a while since encountering someone with passion for the industry, and this guy has it written all over him. Great job to Alberto for having found himself a great right hand. This Friday was amazing like the other ones. Grazie ragazzi, it’s a pleasure to have you in our town!

Wow! We found this restaurant by driving through Middlewich and what a treat it was. For me it was a vegetarian heaven. For a starter we ordered a vegetarian sharing plate and everything was not only made from scratch but yummy. My favourite arancini, mushrooms stuffed with mozarella and baked aubergine... it really couldn't get any better. To be honest the starter was so big that I hardly squeezed the main. I ordered quattro formaggi pizza and my husband had a chicken pasta. Everything was perfect. Not only food. The owner, waiters, decoration. Everything was beautiful. Even the price! If I had to give an improvement idea - the aubergine for the sharing plate either come in two separate dishes or be already cut in half. Only because I made a mess trying to share it 🫣 Also I apologise for the photo of the sharing plater.. I got so excited that I didn't take a photo when it came... few items are already eaten

The service was a bit chaotic either feast or famine of staff but they all did their best to look after us. We liked the interior and enjoyed our main courses but our positive experience plummeted when it came to the ice cream. There was a narrow choice of chocolate, strawberry or vanilla and we sampled vanilla and chocolate. Unfortunately the ice cream portion was unacceptably small and furthermore of poor quality with lots of ice crystals. it let down the rest of the menu. Our waiter apologised that it was served in a large glass. i don't understand why this ice cream was so poor but it is something the management could easily put right. the interior decor and main menu deserve better.

I haven't been in Middlewich for a while so I carefully checked this place online before making my way there - only to find it's closed for building work! Apparently it doesn't open for another month but I couldn't find that information before travelling. On top of that, it was now just after 8pm, which seems to be bedtime for cooks these days so after failing to get into two other restaurants I gave up and got a takeaway. This lack of consideration for the paying customers is all too common and deeply disappointing. Just yesterday I told someone that I planned to be in Middlewich for a couple of nights and looked forward to revisiting Il Padrino. Building work has to done, but not making sure online sources are not misleading potential customers is unforgiveable.

We visited Il Padrino in Middlewich for the first time to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday as a family. Coming into the bar area off the street was impressive, bright, modern, and well stocked. Up a couple of steps into the restaurant, very nicely laid out with good lighting. The menu was quite extensive, with many items on the list I have not seen before. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and nothing is too much trouble for them. They will tailor the menu to your requirements. If you want to add or remove something from the meal, they will gladly oblige, e.g, if you don't fancy mushrooms, they will leave them out if you fancy having broccoli, they will add it, no problem. Each member of my family thoroughly enjoyed the meal they ordered,even the children. I had sea bass fillets on a bed of prawn risotto that was amazing. My wife had the Pollo Griglia, of which I had a taste, and I can honestly say that it is one of the tastiest things I have ever had. We will be returning, and I will definitely be having the Pollo Griglia next time. Many thanks to the owner and staff for making my wife's birthday memorable. Thank you.

The food definitely didn't disappoint too, we had pasta dishes that were really tasty and fresh, our one year old couldn't get enough of the garlic bread and pizza (and from the taste I got that was really good too).

Excellent service, good prices, and great food. I visited from London for a Mother's Day meal after hearing good reviews, and Il Padrino did not disappoint! Highly recommend. We will be back!

We enjoy a visit to Romazzino and have previously commented that whilst the food has been excellent the service has been a bit hit and miss……not this time, both were fabulous. Our food was excellent, spaghetti carbonara with chicken and fillet steak, the carbonara was delicious, the steak delectable. The service was fantastic, our waitress (lovely young lady with blond hair, our booking was 6.15pm, 2/3) was fabulous, the food excellent as was the ambiance, lots of birthday celebrations as well as groups and couples having just the best evening. Highly recommended.

This is our favourite local restaurant. The staff are really warm and inviting. They made my favourite gnocchi dolce latte even though it wasn’t on the menu.

Had a wonderful meal for two tonight at Don Alberto in Holmes Chapel. We’ve passed many times driving home & finally dropped in. What a fantastic surprise - Lovely interior & ambiance. Well set out with good spacing between tables. Kieron announced he was looking after us. We had a seafood linguini & chicken carbonara mains. We arrived quite late - only an hour before closing but the guys were great & all the food was beautifully cooked, so compliments to the chef. On Kieron’s recommendation I’d sampled their own micro brewery Don Alberto lager & again all good. Pristine white cloth napkins was also a big tick. Kieron looked after us really well. Nothing too much trouble. He even gave us the details of the restaurants Spotify background music. When U drop in on a place & it’s this good it makes the evening. It’s a great little find for us & we should’ve called in years ago.
