We chose La Sirena having been before, for a pre Christmas family meal. The food was a bit slow coming but hey plenty of time to catch up with family over drinks. When it did arrive the food as always, superb and plentiful. The staff were very pleasant and accomodating. I would recommend this eaterie for lunch and dinner.

We’re fortunate to live near to La Sirena as it’s our favourite restaurant in Leigh. We’ve celebrated birthdays, school awards and new jobs here over the years and every time it’s been fantastic. The staff are so friendly- always really kind and engaging with our children who absolutely love the experience. The food is always amazing, and the service is exemplary. See you again soon Armend and team!

My daughter chose La Sirena for our family meal to celebrate her twentieth birthday. We were greeted warmly on arrival and shown quickly to our table (we'd booked which was good as they were very busy). Despite being almost full, service was attentive and efficient and everyone was friendly. The food was sublime, from the garlic bread pre-starter (enough for 4 of us), through our mains and onto dessert. Once they knew that it was her birthday, my daughter was made to feel special and, as her parents, that made it special for us too. The ambience is nice, not too noisy but enough going on to lift the evening, the food delicious and the service wonderful. Well done La Sirena, we'll be back.

Went to this beautiful little restaurant for the first time last night with a friend who is a regular and certainly wasn't disappointed. Really lovely decor and the food, service and prices were second to none. All absolutely amazing. 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 wines and 2 coffee's for £54.00! Staff were lovely and compliments to the chef too as the food was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this lovely little place enough.

My partner and I visited this restaurant for the first time. We were met by the owner and waiter Almon who was the most genial host and went out of his way to accommodate our requirements. My partner is GF which they cater for so there was plenty of choice. I opted for bruschetta with Parma ham and Parmesan slices with rocket and balsamic vinegar. I couldn’t believe how large the portion was! My partner had the olive selection which was also large. Second course for me was lobster ravioli and again a much larger portion than expected, my partner had whitebait which was also a sizeable portion and tasted like it was fresh from the sea. The mains arrived by which time we were stuffed! We soldiered on with mixed seafood tagliatelle (hers was a GF pasta). A rich lobster bisque covered the dish which contained lobster, prawns, mussels and clams and it was outstanding! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Looking forward to going back soon.

Our family’s favourite restaurant! We went for a birthday meal last night it was very busy and they had mistakenly booked us for the following day. I don’t know how they managed it but they found a table for us with no fuss and made us feel very welcome when it must have been stressful for them as I am sure they were fully booked. The food and service were wonderful as always and they turned what could have been a very disappointing night into a celebration.

We were looking for a new Italian restaurant to explore and having read the reviews thought we would give this one a try. Really glad we did - if our first experience is anything to go by then we have found a winner!! The food was excellent, generous, tasty well presented and hot. Each of the four of us had different dishes for starters and mains and all of us enjoyed them all. The service was also excellent, attentive, friendly and efficient. All in all a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be coming here again. A big thank you to Almond who looked after us and Fernando who is a great character and kept us entertained.

The Salmon was delicious I’m told as was the chicken millianese and pasta. All meals were lovely presented and very tasty.

This was our first visit to La Sirena and it was perfect. We had the three course lunch for £16.95 the choices are amazing three of us had the melon and one the whitebait the melon was really lovely as was the whitebait and there were at least three other choices. For mains three of us had the chicken Milanese with the spaghetti bologneise and I had the pomodore sauce and then one of my sister in laws had the salmon which came with a mushroom sauce broccoli carrots and slice sautéed potatoes, you can then have a dessert or coffee. I was the only one to have dessert which was chocolate profiteroles which were delicious. We were all really impressed with the ambience of the restaurant Armand who served us was polite and friendly and brought out a birthday cake on a decorated plate that my sister in laws had got for me - nothing was to much bother. The bill with three rose wines and a couple of tonics was £91 an exceptional price thank you.

A pleasant little restaurant, with nice staff. Food is fairly good ; we had mussles to start but they were over cooked although a very nice flavour, and a nice sauce, I had steak dianne, enormous portion and nice flavoured demi glace sauce, but again a litttle over cooked, my yardstick for any restaurant I visit is would I go back, and in this case, yes I would, but make sure before hand my steak is not over cooked. Myself and friends all had a pleasant visit and a good time. so 7/10 for me but I'm sure they can do a little better. Adrian.

This restaurant only opened under this name last month and appears to have a new menu etc. It was formally called II Palazzo and from the dates of the reviews below they all refer to the "previous" restaurant. Service was Ok but instead of the large dining room shown in the photos we were all packed into tables set out in the former bar area with about two feet between tables. Food was Ok
