There was nothing Spanish/Mediterranean about this restaurant. The decor is very bland. Playing motown music and even Green Onions! I thought I was going to an authentic Spainish restaurant but no far from it. Food was mediocre. Waitresses very lovely and friendly.

La Cantina in Widnes offers a delightful culinary experience, with its inviting ambiance and delectable menu. The restaurant's charming decor creates a warm atmosphere, complemented by attentive staff members who contribute to a welcoming environment. Carlos, the owner, is the heart and soul of La Cantina, bringing a personal touch to the dining experience. His passion for authentic flavors and dedication to customer satisfaction are evident in every aspect of the restaurant. Carlos goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel like valued patrons, adding a personalized touch that sets La Cantina apart. The menu boasts a diverse selection of dishes, showcasing the richness of traditional flavors with a modern twist. From savory tapas to mouthwatering main courses, each dish reflects a commitment to quality ingredients and culinary expertise. The wine selection is well-curated, enhancing the overall dining experience. While La Cantina's prices reflect the quality of the dining experience, the value for money is undeniable. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends, La Cantina promises an exceptional gastronomic journey. In Widnes, Carlos has created more than a restaurant; he has crafted a culinary haven where passion and flavour converge. Be sure to also check the daily specials board on the rear wall, my personal favourite is the Tomahawk steak (see pictures). Great value.

Twenty of us went to La Cantina, Widnes, to celebrate an engagement. The service from Paula and Carlos was excellent and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The menu was varied with choices to suit everyone. The prices were good too. Nowhere else could you get a three course meal at their prices. We have been there before, and we will definitely go again.

Top service and even gave my mum and dad a complimentary bottle of wine to celebrate their milestone anniversary. Mum is now in a wheel chair so it’s fantastic there is a lift to get from ground floor to 1st floor up to the main restaurant area. Highly recommend and will be looking to return again soon.

Fantastic choice of dishes for both a two and a three courses option. Both represent very good value for money. Nice choice of draught Spanish beers and bottles to choose from. Extensive wine menu as well as a wide choice of spirits. Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall, very impressed and definitely will be back for another visit very soon!!

We had a lovely evening here celebrating my sister's retirement. The food was freshly made and delicious, and the service was very good. It was a Tuesday evening so there weren't many people in, but we've been here before when it was busy, and the atmosphere was great. My sister also got given a bottle of wine to take home to celebrate her retirement with. If you take advantage of the early bird menu it will cost you next to nothing too. Definitely worth a visit.
