Malia Italian Restaurant in Bury

I was recently on a date in Bury having a few drinks and we decided to get something to eat. Before I continue let me explain that this was a first date and I couldn't believe my luck, this girl was incredible, unbelievably gorgeous, funny, easy to talk to the whole package and then some. More amazingly she still seemed happy to be out on a date with me. I was punching harder than Rocky when he fought the Russian. Way out of my depth and desperate for things to go well. I don't know Bury all that well but had recently done some work there for an Italian gentleman who took me for an authentic Italian pizza after work one evening. It was the best pizza I've had in my life no contest so seemed a no brainer to go for a pizza. When we arrived at the restaurant I had previously been to it was closed. I was devastated and didn't have a clue where else to suggest. We walked a little further up the road and spotted Meliá. After having a drink at the bar Michael found us a table and I soon discovered the restaurant we was in was the same restaurant I had been to before only in a new premises. Everything about the night was perfect, the food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere and most of all the company. It was certainly a night I'll remember with a smile for a long time. Thanks to Michael and all the staff at Meliá for making me look good. Fingers crossed we'll be back sometime. 😉

There were plenty of little restaurants in this area but this one stood out as being a bit more classy. We called in one lunch time and there were only another couple in but it still had a nice atmosphere. I loved the decor and the service from the lady was friendly and attentive. My husband had the prawns and I chose the mussels in tomatoes and garlic, I have had these before in other Italian restaurants but I must say the sauce on these mussels were the best I've tasted. Well done.

Had lunch here today. Brushetta and pasta dishes were fantastic. Service was great, thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

The food and wine were simple, great quality, authentic Italian (I've spent time in Rome and Bologna). A delicious platter of grilled fish, perfectly cooked fresh veg. Great homemade bread, tasty, perfectly seasoned callamari. My only complaint was service was a little slow but this is a new restaurant finding its feet so I'd DEFINITELY return! When it arrived the food was worth waiting for and the service was friendly and kind.

we visited Bury last weekend and visited this restaurant. From the welcome that we got from Gabby to the end of the meal everything was perfect, Great environment and wonderful food. Worth a visit.

Thought we'd give this place a try and glad we did. I'd recommend booking on a Saturday night as it does get busy. We were shown to our table and given the menus. Unfortunately we did have a wait to order a drink. However, order was taken for drinks and food and can't complain. The food was delicious, fresh and piping hot. Very well presented. Gabby is a perfect host, very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Went in for the first time yesterday .we were served by Gabi who was so pleasant and friendly.The food was excellent and the place itself is spotless and has a lovely relaxed atmosphere.. Couldn't fault it in anyway ,thank you too to Arturo the chef for the beautiful food he made. We will definitely be going back
