La Famiglia in Liverpool

La Famiglia in Liverpool offers an exceptional dining experience with a distinct touch of Sardinian hospitality. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, which feels both cosy and authentic, reflecting the family-oriented nature of the establishment. The menu is a delightful journey through traditional Sardinian cuisine, with a variety of freshly prepared dishes. Highlights include homemade pastas, rich sauces, and beautifully presented dishes that burst with flavour. The fettucini pistachio was particularly memorable, with a creamy pistachio sauce that perfectly complemented the fresh pasta. The service was another standout feature. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they serve, creating a welcoming environment where you feel well taken care of throughout your meal. While it may be slightly on the pricier side, the quality of the food, combined with the attentive service, makes La Famiglia well worth a visit. Whether you're a fan of Italian cuisine or simply looking to enjoy something a little different, La Famiglia delivers a truly satisfying and memorable experience in the heart of Liverpool.

Very good Italian cuisine. The brothers-in-law know their way around the kitchen and do a good job. It was nice to talk to my compatriot Krzysztof. Ps. I was hoping that Arsenal would win against Manchester United, but the score was a 1-1 draw.

Lovely meal, lovely staff, great atmosphere

Reservado en línea para 6 adultos para la cena, después de leer comentarios. No nos decepcionó, la comida y el servicio era excelente. El personal era muy agradable y atento. ¡La mejor pasta que he comido! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Very friendly and welcoming. The choice was very good and the meals were excellent

Fabulous little find. Very authentic. Fairly priced and great food. Would highly recommend 👍

Fantastic service and great food. Second time here and now our favourite Sardinian restaurant 😉 Amazed to walk out and see queues outside Casa Italia when this little gem is literally yards away

Esperamos unos 45 minutos para que el personal viniera y tomara nuestro pedido, seguimos tratando de llamar su atención, pero ni siquiera nos dieron contacto visual. Normalmente me hubiera ido, pero como era un sábado por la noche sabía que habían luchado para encontrar una mesa en un restaurante diferente. Otros comensales en mesas cercanas también estaban tratando de llamar la atención del personal. Ni una mesa cerca de nosotros tenía comida. Cuando finalmente conseguimos nuestra comida fue decepcionante. Era muy soso e insípido y no valía la pena el dinero. Habría disfrutado más que esto. Definitivamente no volvería aquí de nuevo

Visited with my Husband and Daughter for my birthday meal. This was an authentic Italian with freshly cooked food at very reasonable prices, Goid quality drinks we will definitely return

I can’t understand the positive reviews. There were 4 couples in total during the time we were there and one left after looking at the menu. The starter of bread with toppings was good but the main pasta courses were poor. The recommended seafood pasta looked bland and rubbery and was tasteless. It consisted of very large tubes of pasta, calamari and some prawns and mussels with an ok sauce. The other pasta dish was average.

Disappointed 😢food not tasty pretty high price for the quality and service. Not worth it , I will not go again

Lovely place,great food,superb staff,reasonably priced, recommended

My friend and I visited La Famiglia on a Saturday early evening. It was my first visit to this eatery. Upon entering, the staff was welcoming , and they directed us to a nice table. We didn't book in advance. However, that wasn't an issue. The restaurant is very cosy inside with a relaxed atmosphere. Regarding the food. We ordered a selection of starters and main courses and a desert. Every dish was really tasty and freshly cooked 🍳. We both really enjoyed our meal and the service from the staff was great, very friendly and helpful. If you're in Liverpool and fancy authentic Italian flavours, I'd highly recommend visiting La Famiglia, I'll definitely be going back, as I really enjoyed my meal 😀

Beautiful food from a small menu but plenty of choice to satisfy. Lamb cutlets cooked perfectly and seafood pasta very tasty. I recommend you try it should you have the chance.

We visited La Famiglia for the very first time on Friday night and I can't believe we've never been before!!! From the moment we stepped in to when we'd finished our gorgeous food & wine the service was first class. The staff were all super friendly and really easy to talk to (and have a laugh with too). I ordered the meatballs as a starter and I can honestly say I've never had meatballs like them.....they were unbelievable and my main of Casercce all' Arrabbiata was just as nice too!!! My girlfriend ordered the Paccheri Mare for main and it was the best pasta dish she'd ever had......her words not mine :-) We've been looking for a new Italian restaurant to try where there's great food and you can also sit and relax in a nice atmosphere and we've 100% found it, I can't wait for our next visit!!!!!

Ended up falling into this wonderful restaurant by a quick Google search, whilst visiting Liverpool for the day for my mums birthday. The service and food was faultless and would really recommend this for any italian food lover in Liverpool. Will definitely be returning next time in in town.

Place found by chance. Very nice, I highly recommend it. Everyone is very kind and nice. You are the TOP keep it up.♥️

Visited on a quiet and cold evening. Few diners in this award winning family restaurant. We enjoyed the food and service so much we returned the following evening. Lovely Italian dishes and so much nicer than your typical chain restaurant style. Keep doing what you are doing so well! Good value for money and we'd definitely recommend.

Such a lovely restaurant. Food and service was amazing

Nice food and service. We especially like the homemade pasta.

This place is so good. Terrific service, tasty food, great wine, and lovely dessert. The meatball appetizer is topnotch, and the 3 different pasta dishes our party sampled were also very yummy. So glad to have found this place. Highly recommend!

Well I went here today with my wife and my daughter, I think we have found an absolute Italian gem !!! The service and food were, in Italian FANTASTICO !! we highly recommend you go there , thank you to our waitress, and the chef. We will definitely be coming back !!

This restaurant is in our opinion a great place with exceptional attentive service. The food is high quality and delicious. Not the cheapest but here you get what you pay for and in this case it's fresh ingredients and very well cooked. Next time we are in Liverpool, We will certainly call again in here.

This is a lovely family-run Italian restaurant that serves up good food with great service. We had three courses each, which included Calamari, Bruschetta, Gnocchi, Branzino, Brownies, and Seadas. We loved the food, but we recently had Italian elsewhere that we seemed to just be wowed by, which is why we consider it to be satisfactory. Portion sizes are adequate, any less, and it wouldn't be enough.

I went to the La Famiglia restaurant on Friday 6th December with some old work colleagues. My Bruschetta Sarda starter was delicious. My main course was Caserecce All’ Arrabbiata which again was excellent. The service was relaxed which was perfect as the weather outside was terrible and we weren't in a rush to go on anywhere else. A very pleasant and cosy evening.

Very poor from start to finish! Waiter unfriendly! Food over cooked . Very disappointing evening

El personal muy amable nos recibió y procedió a darnos un servicio cálido, no invasivo pero atento y comida de excelente calidad. Muy recomendable

Very nice place. What tempted me the most was good cuisine, I could already see in the photos that food is important to them, not only how it looks but how it tastes. There was something convincing about what they had shown in the photos. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Everything was super good, served very efficiently. The staff mostly consists of people who also speak Italian, which additionally gives the whole place the atmosphere of a cool Italian restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Estamos aquí ahora con mis dos sobrinos y acabamos de terminar nuestro encantador almuerzo (16 / 11 / 24 ). Nuestra cena fue encantadora y el servicio fue genial. No dudaría en volver!

Was lovely meal although no tiramisu only complaint was the amount of fruit flies all over the wall and flying around us while eating!

Fantastic food, friendly environment, family atmosphere. The Italian jerseys on the wall add a lot to the mood. The serving girls are extremely kind and friendly, they welcomed us as if we had known each other for a thousand years. The pastas are so delicious that we have been there twice and will go again! ;)

Almorzar menú entrantes de mejillones y albóndigas fueron muy buenos plato principal dejó mucho que desear. La lasaña era principalmente salsa de tomate / ragu - lasaña 3 capas estaban empapadas y húmedas e insípidas. La lubina estaba seca y demasiado cocida las patatas se recalentaron duro y sin sabor muy decepcionante, ya que esperábamos reservar para 20 personas para una celebración de Navidad para una futura reserva. Cuando informamos a la camarera no había pena ni nada. Muy decepcionante 😞

Very good food. We had Fettuccine Pistacchio, baby octopus curlurgiones, and the traditional dessert seadas !

La comida es increíble, el servicio es encantador y el ambiente tranquilo increíble es genial para la noche de citas y la cena familiar. El menú del almuerzo se ve fabuloso sin duda volverá

Visited after seeing an echo article labelling it the ‘best Italian restraunt in the north west’ I wonder how much they were paid to write that… Server forgot our wine until we reminded them and also forgot a side we ordered with the main, and we was Charged for a more expensive bottle of wine than we ordered. I haven’t experienced such amateur service in a long time, especially considering they add on a 10% service fee. Small flies are all over the restaurant also. The food itself was decent, but pretty small portions for the prices what they charge. There are much better options elsewhere.

Aquí para cenar con 3 amigos, fue una noche de jueves. Dos de nosotros habíamos estado antes, yo y otro no. LF fue mi elección ya que había oído cosas buenas, pero también como había leído de sus inclinaciones a los platos sardos, en lugar de los italianos habituales. Había visitado la isla algún tiempo antes y realmente disfruté de mi visita allí. Empezamos con chuletas, pan carasau (que no había visto antes en el Reino Unido) con carne de aceituna y queso, mientras leíamos el menú. Para empezar, me decanté por la Bruschetta Sarda, con Fregula Sarda como principal, y el Affogato al Caffe como postre. Para lavar esto, un V&T como aperitivo, seguido de un par de botellas de un bonito rojo siciliano. Toda la comida, bebida, era encantador, y el servicio de primera categoría en todo. Con todo, una buena noche, aunque con un toque extraño. El lugar en sí es agradable, rústico, y estábamos sentados en una esquina. Poco después de que nuestra comida llegara, sin embargo, nos molestaron un montón de pequeñas moscas que flotaban a nuestro alrededor... Nos mudamos de mesa, pero parecía que solo seguían, y se quedaron con nosotros un rato, aunque no toda la noche! Asumo que esto no es la norma, me río de ello y dije que volvería aquí. Sin embargo, mi amiga la otra vez dijo que no lo haría.

Excellent food and very good service. Despite being extremely busy, the staff were welcoming and very attentive. Along with a lovely, warm atmosphere, this restaurant provided a perfect end to our trip to Liverpool. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine at a reasonable price.

Excellent food and service, but there were a lot of very small flies which were a bit annoying.

Great Italian with Sardinian specials.

Impromptu visit, using a voucher. Arrived after 2pm,so missed lunch crowd so very quiet. Regardless, we felt welcomed and enjoyed a fabulous meal, each cooked to perfection. Indulged in desserts, the tiramisu fabulous! Coffee was strong, punchy and fab. Authentic feel at this Italian and good menu. Offers very decent 2 course lunches for £15, as well as paninnis for £6. Certainly enjoyed our first visit here and won't be the last!!

En gömd pärla. Ligger på en tvärgata, men det är absolut värt att leta reda på denna italienska familjerestarang. En varierad meny, som erbjuder äkta italienska smaker. Deras luncherbjudande är ypperligt! Två rätter till förnämligt pris. Rekommenderas starkt!

Really lovely staff and great grappa!

The food were awesome and fantastic. The most popular cuisine were a must try! And the service is superb. We enjoy the night!

Amazing pasta, pizza, good service, good ambience and the pricing is reasonable. What else could you ask for?

Great place staff really friendly food was lovely we had the special lunch menu which was really good value for money been a few times now can't fault it

Excelente atención y mucha empatía. Los platos exquisitos todo muy representativo de Italia. Los precios muy razonables

Had a lovely meal after seeing the Vivaldi immersive light sho w. Excellent range of food and specials. I liked it the first time and this was a 2nd visit well worth it. I will go back at some point soon.

Amazing as always great food and amazing service. Unlike any other restaurant in Liverpool Definitely a must try 😉😉😉😊😊😊😊

Very good food. I ordered some Paccheri Mare and Tiramisu and everything was on point. Good product and well made. Great value for the price.

Excellent and good quality food. A very nice restaurant.

I will start on a positive note. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and friendly. and there was no waiting for our meal or drinks It was lunchtime and the schools were off, but we were the only two in the restaurant for most of our stay. We ordered from the specials menu @ 2 courses for £14.99. I ordered the Meatballs followed by the Lasagne. The portions were a good size unfortunately! I was warned to be careful as both dishes were piping hot. They were both lukewarm to almost cold. The meatballs were bland, unseasoned and a weird mushy texture. The Lasagne looked hot as the sauce was bubbling, but the actual Lasagne was again, lukewarm. I have had better from a supermarket own label tbh. My friend ordered the Calamari, they looked like they were bought from a supermarket, pale and microwaved. The bass was ok, but again lukewarm and the accompanying potatoes were almost inedible. We usually go to Casa Italia a few doors down, but thought we would try something new. i am not sure where these other 5* reviewers were eating, but I can't recognise it. We won't be going back. Sad.

Delicious pasta, but the sauce had no taste.

Was excited to take my friend here after reading glowing reviews…she loves Italian. She ordered meatballs to start, they were cold, but she let that go. She then had the lasagna that she thought looked like and tasted like a supermarket one plopped in a bowl….I had the seabass that came with what looked like roast potatoes, but they were cold and tasted strange, like leftovers. no we didn’t complain as we were just so disappointed. Maybe when there is an offer on the food is a bit inferior..it was a quiet Tuesday…who knows.

Very friendly as soon as we arrived,attentive,great food,lovely ambience,highly recommend,a must if you are in Liverpool

I wish I could give more stars to this fantastic restaurant 🤩 so friendly & welcoming from start to finish. Food is so delicious that words doesn’t give it justice but most important it is really authentic Sardinia cuisine. Every dish was creative and comes with different and nice presentations, full of flavour and nice taste combinations. The wine list is great and the service was very kind and attentive. My new favourite spot in Liverpool, highly recommended 🙌🏽💯🙌🏽

Lovely restaurant, the lunch special two course menu is very good value. Been a few times with my husband and mother and alway had a great meal, lovely friendly service would highly recommend.

Excellent Italian food reasonable price, good host , would visit again cosy atmosphere. Tucked away off Victoria Street

I would first just love to say a big massive thank you to the La familia team you made my daughter’s birthday night so special. Nothing was too much trouble, your service was impeccable, food was fresh and very tasty everyone enjoyed it so much. Also I have to say your wine was beautiful too. We will definitely be back very soon ! Once again a big massive thank you 😍x

Very nice service. Great, delicious food prepared by the best chef in town! I RECOMMEND!

Another amazing visit to our favourite Italian in Liverpool. We love it here. 👌🏼

There was not much left on the menu and the food disappointing

Felt like at home! I enjoyed the dinner at La Famiglia. The service, the food and the atmosphere are incredible. Next time I’ll be in Liverpool I will definitely go back there.

I had dinner at La Famiglia, it has been a very nice experience, all dishes are delicious, I highly recommend the Porceddu and the Culurgiones! Pure Sardinian experience! The 2 waitresses have been very professional and coming constantly with a big smile to make sure that we had a great moment! It has to be highlighted! The place is very cosy and makes you feel in Italy. I highly recommend this place! Thank you all

This wonderful place is not part of a chain. There is a real chef. The food is all real. There is a charming waitress. A proper welcome. The menu has a Sardinian influence (which appears to be more than a design choice). The wine list although limited has the classics with a fabulous Bovale (from Sardinia of course). They do a full range of food from salads through sucking pig fabulous Tagliata steaks, good fresh fish to delightful pasta. Faultless in its understatement

Picked at random for a quick and quiet family dinner while visiting family at the municipal hotel. Turned out to be amazing food at great value. Will absolutely be back next time we're in Liverpool! Please visit La Famiglia if you are close by, you won't be disappointed.

Loved it gorgeous authentic Italian food will return

Went here for the first time and will certainly be back. The food was amazing. The service outstanding.

wonderful little family restaurant near top of Stanley St award winning sardinian Italian food at reasonable prices really nice staff and gorgeous food reccomend

Gorgeous food and the best staff! Love Sardinian food 🤤 Went back after 2 yrs, chef Nino is brilliant and Claudia who served us was so lovely. This is a place you have to go back and try everything!

Went for a family birthday, great night and Service would definitely visit again 😎

The staff were brilliant, extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and myself meal was descent enough untill we were recommended the tiramisu for sweet. unfortunately it turned up in a tiny little jar with literally only half a dozen little spoonfuls, we were both very disappointed as it wasn't even that good apart from the cost of such a minute helping. I wouldn't say the portions were vague for money, so I don't think we'll be recommending this restaurant.

My friend and I came across La Famiglia while looking for somewhere to have dinner after a theatre trip. Lovely restaurant with lovely friendly staff. Good choice of dishes on the menu. I chose homemade lasagna which was absolutely delicious. My friend had soup to start then Gnocchetti Sardi al Ragu as his main. He highly recommends it. We shared a garlic bread too. Very reasonably priced. Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere. Will absolutely be returning.

Friendly staff. Clean and tidy.

Cheap and good quality Italian cuisine for Liverpool

My girlfriend and I went to this place two weeks ago. We had a great time, truly run by Italians, not like many who only have an Italian name. Excellent pasta, we also had the roast chicken which was cooked really well. We found ourselves just as the name says in FAMILY. We will happily return.

The great service made our first visit to this hidden away gem.

A wonderful little restaurant just off a busy street. We're so glad we found this as it was the best meal of our city break. The stuffed pasta options that we got, ravioli and tortelloni, were amazing. Service was polite and attentive. Brilliant little spot.

Sadly we didn’t particularly enjoy the food. It was alright but a bit basic and lacked taste across most of the dishes we ordered (seafood pasta, burrata pasta, pizza, lasagne). The pasta was also too hard, more than what you’d call ‘al dente’. The burger and tiramisu were nice so no complaints there. I’d recommend Cucina di Vincenzo instead for Italian food in Liverpool.

Lovely meal. We will be back. 🙂

A charming restaurant. We visited on a Monday evening and were warmly welcomed. There is a good choice of food and drink, supplemented by the specials board. We enjoyed our meals, all freshly made and of good quality. We ended the meal with espresso martinis - one of the best I've ever tried! Highly recommend- if I was local, I'd be a regular!

It's underground so the signal is a bit poor, but Wi-Fi is available. I had pasta for the meal, but there are many types of noodles such as flat noodles and gnocchi depending on the menu ✨ The owner was also friendly and nice.

The food was great. The service at the end left a little to be desired, as we wanted to pay the bill and the waiters pretended they didn't see us or said they would bring the bill but they didn't.

Great meal and service, from Georgia.

Talk about judging a book by its cover…….we went in tonight for a family dinner 2 adults and 2 teenage boys with no booking. There was 2 free tables and we were told the only table they had was a high top breakfast bench with 4 stools. After 20 mins we had to ask for menus and basically beg to be served. We then asked could we avail of the empty tables which was denied even though they were suddenly available when a table of 4 people also ‘walk ins’ arrived. They were automatically served before us also. Throughout the night the ‘manager/owner’ behind the bar continuously looked down his nose at us and dismissed our requests until it came to us paying our £200 bill which obviously shocked him. At this point he then apologised for the ‘table mishap’ and wished us a good night. He obviously thought we were a waste of a table for him but I guess he thought wrong. Poor service food was ok definitely would not recommend or would not return. Would advise said man to work on his people skills.

Amazing restaurant, super clean with a very nice staff. The food was excellent. I hope I could come back again but I hadn't the opportunity. If you like (actual) italian food, that is for sure the place to go !

This place could be so much better, the staff are brilliant and very welcoming, it is a Sardinian Italian welcome that is really warm. The lasagne was really good, the risotto was a bit bland.

Very very very good!!! Perfect!!!

Came for my birthday, and was not disappointed with our recommendation from the hotel. The staff were professional and friendly. Good as authentic and very tasty, atmosphere was terrific, my sister in law is Italian, so I got happy birthday sang to me in Italian, a truly wonderful evening, the wine was good also 🍷need to return asap

We visited here for a family birthday on recommendation from an Italian friend and it did not disappoint. Superb home cooked Italian food using top quality ingredients. We all had starters, main and dessert with Wine and it was special. Thank very much we will definitely visit again.

A proper authentic Italian restaurant. Real food cooked by a real chef. Excellent value for money too. Highly recommended.

Really good food serving its purpose and the service itself made it even better. It was quite late, but they didn’t rush us through the dinner, and we even squeezed down a dessert. A really delicious tiramisu.

A brilliant Italian, great food at a very reasonable price! The best cannoli I've had in a long time!

Very busy family run Italian.Food was very tasty the pork meatballs for starters were very nice😋

Bedienung sehr freundlich, das Essen hat gut geschmeckt.

Lovely restaurant great food good value. Easy to walk past on the way to the shopping centre.... Don't ! Go in even though it doesn't look busy. Lots of families and couples of all ages were in and out throughout our visit. Looking forward to going again .

It took more than 20 minutes to order our food and we had to ask for our drinks to be served after 1 hour! Then we had only had bread to eat and half of it was so hard it was inedible. Then the food came and only the ravioli was tasty. The gambas had no taste at all, just the serano ham they were wrapped in. The waitress apologised and said we would not be charged for the service. As if we were going to give them a tip! The least they could have done was offer us the drinks for free! Will NEVER visit again!

Food took a long while and half of it had already gone cold. Not much meat on the lamb, chicken was dry and hard like stale bread.

Really enjoyed the roast piglet, well cooked with a delicious sauce and a rare dish to find. Service was very warm and friendly too.

Lovely food in a traditional environment. Great staff and good service…

Couldn't fault great staff and fabulous food
