la Ricetta in Denbighshire

Another fantastic meal at La Ricetta. Smokies are a must to start ! A lovely bottle of white recommended by the staff. All three courses were outstanding, staff are all lovely. Thank you all for a great night

Visited last weekend for my parents in-laws anniversary Outstanding food,service and great atmosphere Genuinely super impressed and highly recomend

Food perfect have been here many times always great meal and atmosphere

Lovely place Beautiful food Excellent service Been many years since I have had such a beautiful Italian

I booked this restaurant as a special evening for one of my friends 90th birthday events. Well these guys went above and beyond saving us a lovely table in the window with Happy Birthday banners . The food was outstanding my goats cheese stack was amazing and all the pasta dishes excellent, We were too full to enjoy a sweet but these guys put a candle in an ice cream scoop in a glass and played Happy Birthday. Thank you from me I just wish you were close so we could eat there more often. Locals if you fancy try it you won't be disappointed. Oh and very reasonably!

Best spaghetti bolognese ever, high praise coming from my 4 year old. Definitely worth a visit. Great food, great staff, I would highly recommending visit them. Make sure you book a table though, it’s only small.

Went on a Thursday night at 19-30 hrs the restaurant was full, we went as a group of four. All four of us enjoyed our meals. Personally I found the Tiramisu not as good as I would have liked, no sponge fingers soaked in alcohol. We paid £110-00 and 3 of us had 3 course whilst the fourth had two courses, good value for money. Service wasn't rushed and was all the better for that. all four of us would go again.

Always enjoy a visit. Food is excellent and service professional.

Well what can I say, amazing food, amazing service, unbelievable restaurant. Always first class food and service. Thank you all for your hospitality, looking forward to next time ❤️

We were recommended this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food was lovely and the staff were really helpful and accommodated dietary requirements for an allergy and made a dish to accommodate this on request. It was also great value for money. Highly recommend.

The food is literally GOATED! Food like this should be illegal because of how good it is and makes you feel. The service is fast and efficient. We got a pepperoni which we could smell all the way from our seats when it was fresh out of the oven. The Leffe beer was pretty good too. 10000000000000/10. Would Recommend

Amazing food and fantastic value! Waiting in staff were super friendly and attentive. Been a few times and will continue to return.

We had a lovely family meal.the children really enjoyed their pizza and olives...the staff were super friendly and helpful..We really enjoyed the food, especially the pork and risotto.. lovely small but well run restaurant..

Unfortunately this place didn't meet our expectations. I asked for my steak to be rare and it came well done and smothered in sauce. No beer on draught, all bottles. Just not for us. Better places in the area for food in our opinion.

After seeing the good reviews on Google we thought we'd give it a try. Unfortunately this place was not for us. The best part of the meal was the tomato garlic bread. I asked for my steak to be cooked rare and it came well done and smothered in sauce, yuk. No check backs to ask our meal was. Not for us, and sadly we would never return.

Beautiful food and lovely service. A really gem of a place. Highly recommend the asparagus starter. All food fresh and cooked to perfection.

We were a table of six, orderered 11 different plates and enjoyed every single one. A fantastic experience and we can't wait to come again. Thank you so much!

Great food, ambience and service

Tasty food, good options! Tried a few different things and all really nice. Tasty deserts and starters too

Never heard of it, but Google insists I went there, so 0 marks. I've just found it's on Prestatyn High Street, I've never been there or passed by, the nearest I have got to it is when driving along the A528! I'm fed up with Google asking for reviews for places I've never been to, currently I have a list of nearly 20 places I've never been to but Google will not let me dismiss the place, or accept I never went there! ,

We went to this restaurant on the basis of recommendations. But the air quality was terrible as it affected my eyes. They need to sort that out to make it better. The gamberoni wasn’t that nice either.

First time visiting la Ricetta, read reviews before booking and booked for a family birthday, our table for five people was very squashed, I had to squeeze past three seats to sit in the corner and couldn't comfortably put my coat on the back of the chair as there was no room. The starters were nice mixed reaction to the mains, I had the pollo ricetta which was nice, pizza could have done with more cheese, one person liked the spaghetti bolognese, the other didn't, and the other person chose something with pesto and pinenuts which was,nt to his taste. Overall pricey for a meal that was not enjoyed by all, it was nice to try it but not really for us.

Friendly staff,good service just dissapointed with meal.

We had a really nice relaxed evening.the food was amazing, the staff were lovely. I went to Rome earlier this year and La Ricetta food was 100% nicer than what I had in restaurants there. Would definately book again. The cost was well worth paying for service and quality.

Absolutely brilliant meal and spot on staff...we will be booking again

We were a group of 16 golfers visited this friendly Italian restaurant. We had the restaurant after 9.30 ish all to ourselves. The food was fantastic, excellent service and not too expensive. We were well looked after by Jane and Jen. Would definitely go back if in the area.

A first class meal for our anniversary, the meal was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and the service spot on, the flavour in the smokies is unreal 👍👍 Thanks to Derek and Jane for fitting us in at short notice.

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Feels like you're in Italy.

Love love love this place small intimate excellent food

This place very kindly took our very large booking last minute and were fantastic. Food was delicious amd service friendly, highly recommend! Be warned though the spicy meatballs are very spicy!

Food was amazing, so fresh and full of flavour. we've been meaning to go for years and finally managed to last weekend. Would highly recommend,just make sure you book in advance.

Lovely cosy restaurant. Fabulous food and service and very reasonable. Never been before but this will now be our regular

Went for a meal there to celebrate my birthday. This was my second visit after few years ago which was a much better experience when they used to make a homemade pasta. We left very disappointed and wont come back to this place again! It was a complete waste of money. Food was tasteless, shop spaghetti undercooked, sauce bland and watery, spicy meat balls disgusting, made from frozen no flavour and full of tons of pepper. Mushrooms were swimming in a creamy watery sauce like in a pool, garlic of pancetta tomatoe salad was burning your mouth to tears. Left, Didnt finish our plates. My daughter said that I cook much much better! We were completely shocked!!! Update: you cant comment on my name, it is what it is, we dont choose our names and comment on it is very rude of you. I understand that you didnt like my comment but that what you need to work on and improve your cooking.

Whent there the chicken was raw avoid like the plage

Visited on Saturday night as we were up from Manchester for the weekend staying with our friend Rose. What a great choice!! We were greeted warmly despite being a little late, and shown straight to our table. Drinks were ordered promptly and we were very impressed with the quality and price of the house red. We had 2 asparagus starters between the 3 of us( they are massive and amazing!). Then we had the spaghetti gamberoni, bolognese and montradini- all were excellent and massive portions so we brought home what we couldn’t eat as they were too nice to leave! Have to mention the two young ladies waiting on, who couldn’t do enough for us ( including fetching a cushion for my husband who has hip problems and found the chair too low.) They are a credit to the restaurant- we will definitely be back next time we’re in town!!

We had two excell ent meals on two nights running. Relaxed atmosphere, with excellent Italian food and good wine. The service is friendly, efficient and attentive.

Food very good and helpful staff would go there again as plenty of choice

Great meal and some interesting and unusual dishes on offer. Friendly service.

Had a lovely meal with family lovely meal nice people will definitely return.

Food was amazing will definitely be returning

Cosy and intimate, our fourth visit since we discovered what was on our doorstep! Every time the service has been friendly and efficient, and the food very freshly prepared and delicious. The menu has something for everyone, from pizza and pasta dishes to roast pork, duck , beef and veal as well as vegetarian options. Be warned that you'll need a hearty appetite to manage three courses (and I'm no lightweight). The wine list is quite extensive, and the prices reasonable, although a couple of beers and a handful of gin brands are also available. Two courses for two people, a bottle of wine and coffees cost £60. Booking essential.

First time visitor decor very subtle and romantic service with a smile Let down by the food I had veal and found it very chewy My partner had salmon and said it was average Would probably go again but would choose other options

I called to make a reservation for same evening. Left very clear details. Nobody called back. Called in when the opened and just got “oh yeah, we haven’t checked the messages”. Why bother having an answering machine!

Came for a good Quality meal and left disapointed, The restaurant is in need of a refurb, the tables are shocking, old and very very sticky poor chairs also, the toilet is disgusting. The starters we had were amazing, goats cheese and the garlic mushrooms, that where our night ended, poor mains that were that hot we couldnt eat for a good 5 minutes because they had microwaved them, no way they could be that hot off the stove, and our mains were tasteless, side of garlic breads were good tho, the deserts were ok but nothing to rave home about, We used to love coming here but it will be a while before we return

Great staff, lovely family ran restaurant with amazing food

Really good local Italian I would defo visit again. Food very tasty.

Brilliant night with fantastic food and service, many thanks

After missing out on trip to Venice , the meal and atmosphere made up for the disappointed. The food was out of this world. Only problem everything looked good. Want be long till go again and next time will be a totally different choice. The staff made you feel welcome, and other customers who were obviously regulars were happy to offer ideas on what to have Only downside only open Wednesday to Saturday

Went to this lovely little place 24/2. Had garlic mushrooms 🍄 😋 bloody lovely and we shared a meat 🍖 pizza with Italian sausage, my god it was fantastic, the base was the best I've had, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back, thank you 😊

Always visit here on nights out very good usually but pasta was so overcooked and water logged my ham hock cabonara was just mush

Always wonderful food here and great atmosphere

Great food well cooked and presented brilliantly, warm friendly atmosphere and great service all at a reasonable price,

Staying in the area for New Year’s Eve and booked the last available table for 4. A super find. Very good service in a very welcoming and intimate restaurant. The food for our 14 and 16 year old children was excellent. We really enjoyed the food and the whole experience. Very good value for money. We will be booking again.

Very good food and wine. Cosy atmosphere. Need to book at weekends.

One of our favourite Italian restaurants, regularly stop over at Prestatyn just so we can go, lov were it

Firstly the service was lovely and friendly and efficient. Food was disappointing which was a shame after being recommended. Starters were particularly poor with main courses average.

Mouthwatering Italian food, a small restaurant with personal service and meals cooked to perfection, good choices to choose from the menu

Gorgeous food as always, lovely staff would definitely recommend

Our second visit to this wonderful restaurant. Our starters and mains were cooked to perfection and were well timed so as to have a break between courses. Lovely waitress who was so friendly. Genuine pleasure to eat here and can't wait to come back again.

Best place I've ever eaten in Wales. Food, service and atmosphere was amazing. My step-dad was super made up with his meal and can't wait to return.

Best place I've eaten at for a long time. Best food I've ever had in Wales. Perfect.

Went with our family for a birthday meal for my wife, brilliant food as always, great atmosphere great time had by all

Lovely little Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere and food was really good

Not as nice as the first time we went. The Garlic bread was tasteless the main was lovely but the pudding was not good. I had cheesecake and it was just a runny pudding didn't look like cheesecake at all.

Second visit to this restaurant. Been once before and it was good. Went tonight and ordered a dish. It arrived and we started eating. Noticed a strange flavour and found some kind of smoked meat which tainted the whole meal. The issue is that this smoked meat wasn't listed on the menu. We didn't say anything at the time as I thought I'd made a mistake and didn't see it listed. When I got home I was curious and checked the menu. It just wasn't there. I phoned the restaurant and was told nothing could be done. Didn't even offer an apology for this missell (gutted as I gave a fiver tip). It's a shame but I won't be going here again as they add mystery ingredients so you don't know what you're getting. I bet La Ricetta reply to this review saying we should have told them at the but again, we thought it was us who made the error. Bottom line is they should list it on the menu and train staff to apologise if they make a mistake like in this case. -----EDITING---- in response to below owner reply. Hi Jane, You've lost your integrity with your reply. First off, what would have happened if I was Muslim? Do you think adding pork without it being on the menu would be a good option? You could have been sued in that scenario. Also, yes I left a tip for the waitresses because this wasn't their fault. Though I admit I regretted it when there was no apology when we phoned about the issue late on. Bit of a snotty attitude on whoever we spoke with. Also, I've no idea what you're talking about when you mentioned asking if we wanted an alternative. It's a shame you just couldn't bring yourself to apologise because I would have changed this review but I've not seen anything regarding customer service that'd allow me to do this. We just wanted it to be acknowledged that putting unlisted meat in meals, is wrong, especially if it's pork. To add, I've contacted the food standard agency so there'll be some contact for you soon. I mentioned how devastating this would have been if I was Muslim. Update 26 Sep. How did the visit from the food standards agency go? I believe they've made you add the true ingredients to your menu? Though, the agency said you always tell the customer what's in the dish when it's ordered. Well, we both know thats a lie as we wouldn't be in this situation if you did. Its a shame the person we spoke with to complain that evening didn't have better manners.

Booked a table in advance and were given a lovely table by the window which was nice and bright. The service was excellent, the wine was chilled , the starters and mains were delicious and at a mid range price too. All in all tip-top....

It became a bit of a holiday ritual. I’d forget to ring in advance, then remember to ring the Italian the day before who couldn’t fit us in and we’d find somewhere else. This time I received a callback out of hours to squeeze us in and wow. Small, cosy, the staff and food are as good as you get. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Thank you!

Stunning food and excellent service and it was good vfm We will be back

One of the best meals and restaurants we have been to for years. Very friendly staff with great service, food cooked to perfection with excellent choices on the menu. Small restaurant in size but big on service, value and food choice.

Visited last night with my mum and cousin after hearing great reviews about the place and it’s safe to say the place is fantastic! The food was incredible and the service from the two girls was brilliant! I had the duck, my mum had the salmon and my cousin had the carbonara and each of us could not fault the food! Will 💯 be returning, thank you for a great night! 😊

Excellent atmosphere proper Italian food at a reasonable price were made very welcome cosy and noisy like all good restaurants should be

Every time we come to North Wales we have to go here. The food is sublime, service is brilliant and the wine is beautiful. A perfect little venue. I can't wait to live closer so we can go more often. Highly recommend.

Lived here for years , never knew this place existed, had dinner there tonight one of the best meals I have ever had , so pleased with it I’ve booked again for next week , what a gem of a restaurant

Very quaint restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The service was speedy and friendly. Food was lovely with large portions at a reasonable price. We'll be coming back.

Very welcoming , friendly service, good food, overall excellant

Really friendly cosy atmosphere and great food, had a great time, can't wait to go back.

Absolutely fantastic, the content service of the staff, we didn't feel rushed having nice break in between courses and to top it all the quality of the food, cooked to perfection and excellent presentation even down to a candle on the birthday boy ice-cream dessert, well done to all the team for making our evening so enjoyable

Small and cosy place. Clean tidy with a good choice on the menu. Service prompt and friendly, beautiful tasty food that's freshly prepared.

Don’t know if we caught this on a bad night but wasn’t great at all. Worst gripe was lack of seasoning with everything!! Literally they chef must have forgotten how to use salt and pepper! The ones on table were empty or blocked up! It...

This is the best restaurant I have ever been in . The food is exceptional and friendly staff. Needs a little bit of TLC. But after the last 12 months maybe they will do it soon. Dont want any of the character going just needs...

Group of six people all raved about their food; two thought it was the best Italian they'd ever had. Every dish was full of flavour and we can't wait to visit again to try more of the menu. Even better, the service was excellent. Many...

I like to be fair , this is a reasonably priced and nice little restaurant . However , we were left feeling flat after dining here . The service was brisk and efficient , I wouldn’t say particularly friendly or welcoming for first timers ....

Absolutely fantastic experience. The food was perfect and the team were respectful and accommodating with my son. We have already booked to come again.

Absolutely gorgeous food and reasonably priced and the staff were extremely friendly

Excellent food and atmosphere. A fantastic choice for gluten free food which meant that all our family members were very happy. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We found this lovely little local Italian for our wedding anniversary as a special treat whilst on holiday. Service was friendly and the food was great. The tiramisu and limoncello cheesecake were amazing!
