Trip up to Wigan from Birmingham to see my sister. Absolutely amazing food and service. Mussels to start followed by king prawn pasta. Bottle of Valpolicella. Everything was delicious and can’t wait to return and try some other dishes. Restaurant was full on a Saturday evening at 5pm and it is understandable as we thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Excellent birthday meal with 11 family members, cannot fault anything, The food was delicious everyone enjoyed what they had and didn't have room for desserts! Good portion size there is a wide choice so should be something for everyone and the Sunday menu is great value. Ana, Armanda and the waitresses were efficient, professional and friendly and cannot do enough for you. The experienced barman Luca is a pleasure 😃 enjoy! As he says. Thanks to all the kitchen staff for a job well done on a busy evening. It is easily the best restaurant in Wigan we are regular customers as are our family and would recommend you give it a try.I Buon appetito

I was visiting a friend and went to her nearest Italian. What a find! High class-white crisp tablecloths, bright clean cheerful room, and I haven’t even mentioned the staff or food!!! All the Staff were welcoming and accommodating. Happy to change dishes to delight my friends young boy. We unfortunately had eaten well that day so couldn’t throw ourselves into the extensive menu and just had pizza! Ha - just had pizza- very light base and delicious, tasty top. I shared a pizza , because not overly hungry, this was no problem. Looking round at others food, it looked sumptuous and all those eating seemed to be really enjoying their meals. Older couples, an extended family party and various couples all happily tucking in. There was no loud music and we could talk to each other, exchanging pleasantries with guests and staff alike. The toilets were clean and light. I am planning on visiting my friend again- I won’t be eating much during the day and I ensure you my next review will describe at least 3 courses for each of us!! Delicious, not expensive, friendly very tasty. Mmmm We came in off the street, dressed for the wind and rain- we purchased little, yet were treated with respect and courtesy. Come I am sure they will make you as welcome, Prince or pauper!

We booked a table for 11 people at 7:15pm. I had to ring to add 2 extra diners as it was a surprise birthday meal. Arrived just after 7 to the place packed, no one spoke to us, offered us drinks or explained that we’d be waiting for our table. My partner asked how long at 7:15 to be told 10 minutes, 20 minutes later still no table.. eventually at 7:55 we were seated. The menus were put on the table, still no one spoke or offered drinks, we eventually got them over an hour after being in the restaurant. Food orders were taken although we had to ask several times for the Monday night pizza and pasta deal, there’s no explanation on the menu as to what is included. Starters arrived which were good and generous portion sizes. Main meals followed but these all came out at different times we had 5 groups of families, so you’d expect family 1 to get their meals etc oh no this was all jumbled and people not getting the correct meals. We had a 3 yr old with us having lasagne .. who puts an infants lasagne in a red hot skillet and serves it to said infant ? .. they do. My pasta meal had to go back because it was cold (it got nuked) but I have to say everyone seemed to enjoy what they had. Staff then started cleaning away tables around us, spraying table cleaner etc! We had to ask several times for the desert menu and then they were just thrown onto the table. We decided to pass on desert and asked for them to bring the Birthdsy girls cake out .. another ordeal and a 20 minute wait! I get that they’re busy because they have a really excellent offer on £5:99 for any pizza or pasta on a Monday night but that doesn’t excuse the lack of attention from the staff infact I’d say they where quite rude throughout the evening especially one waitress in particular, she definitely needs some customer service training. I think we would return again at some point just not on a Monday, I would have rated it 5 stars as the food was excellent however the service was really poor.

Regular diners here always had lovely meal and good service but today the calamari was insipid and the mayo had a dried rim, we let that go. BBQ pork ribs were cold in the middle lukewarm outside Sent back and came back barely any warmer on the inside, the lasagne was piping hot and lovely but when out as a couple you want to eat together. The lasagne and ribs taken back on return ribs still not hot ,the manageress comment was they had both been in the same oven at 400°, but didn't take into account the lasagne was already hot. We decided to share the lasagne as couldn't be bothered waiting and was brought a cold plate to share the dish. The manageress never came over and the staff kept apogising. We had a lovely bottle of wine but a really disappointing evening out. We could have had a complimentary limoncello, how condescending. Really we shouldn't have paid for the lasagne as by the time we had put half on a cold plate didn't feel like eating. We will not be returning ,terrible customer service by the manageress.

I visit papa luigis regularly and am quite sad to see a “gentleman” call a foreign waiter “dumb” due to him misunderstanding him. All the staff at papa luigis show great customer service and are all very kind and polite. It seems like some people have very little patience. Keep your discrimination to yourself, the staff try so hard to ensure everyone is happy and I think this comment calling a waiter dumb should be removed at the least. I hope this impatient attitude and discriminatory language doesn’t deter any customers who will otherwise enjoy great service and delicious Italian food.

Out for a birthday meal, all was fine until desert, first of all the waitress brought a special board and a menue card, another male waiter came for the order, Sorry the special board was not available, I asked for the menu card again, he brought me a specials menu card and argued with me that this was the available menu. I explained that I had not had a 'Special' menu I asked for fresh fuit salad, he said there was none, I had asked for a cheesecake but never got that just the bill, Nice restaurant, good food but a DUM WAITER

Good solid Italian food at amazing prices with attentive service. Your not going to get a view of the Nile Valley, but you can't always have everything. The place was packed on a Monday evening, owing to the value that is offered - there were at least two birthday parties in plus one other group. The phone was ringing regularly with punters being disappointed that they couldn't get a table, so it's probably best to book ahead at least a day before for one of the discount evenings.

What I mean by weird vibe is the male waiter took us to our table no smile but asked if we would like any drinks. another male worker came over with glasses on and assumed we were ready to order didn't ask if we were but was awkward so I said we aren't ready yet. He waited 5 mins came back and asked that time if we were ready and at that point yes we were. I started to feel uncomfortable as I felt an angry vibe from those two males or maybe a bit of a disorganised anxious vibe from them.

I ordered the cod and salmon fishcake...and I sent it back it was bland, tasteless and 95% mash potato covered in artificial orange breadcrumbs I could of got nicer from the chip shop next door! Slight redeemed themselves with the tortellini main course which was pleasant but nothing to write home about and the tiramisu to end was again bland and boring in flavour!

We used to be regulars here. We haven't been for at least six (probably nearer to twelve) months, and last time we were there, the food was not up to its usual standard. We mentioned this to a member of staff who we felt we knew quite well.We thought we'd give it another go tonight, in the hope that it had improved - it hadn't! In fact, if anything, it's gone worse. Our food was very non-descript, and the only word I could think of was 'cheap' - the food tasted cheap. Not one of the staff, at any point, asked us if our food was okay. Also, interestingly, the member of staff who would normally have come to check we were okay, avoided us after an initial 'how are you? Where have you been?' Embarrassed? I think so. Bye bye Papa Luigi's!

I went to have an early dinner with my wife and young daughter, we have been before on a few occasions. The Italian waitresses are always lovely with our 3yr old. We decided not to have the set 3 course meal as usual, so instead ordered a garlic bread to start and children's meal.For main off the evening menu I ordered the Sirlion or advertised Biscetta with pepper sauce and my wife ordered the risotto. My wife and little one ate theirs and enjoyed it. The pepper sauce was very poor quality and the steak was very poor, almost powdery when chewing. The young English waitress collected the plates and asked nothing and as I was with the litttle one I said nothing. My point would be if you are visiting stick to the regular set menu. If you want a steak visit elsewhere, in fact I should have known better.In at 5pm out at 6:15pm £55, the gentleman at the till informed me on leaving we had the wrong bill which I hadn't noticed without glasses so we could have paid more!!! Thank goodness he told me.

Visited here with my husband to celebrate our birthdays. Inside was beautifully set out and we were shown to our table straight away. We have been here before and have always had a lovely evening but tonight was different. I'm not sure if it was the number of 'Christmas Do's` going on but we felt really rushed and like it was a bit of an inconvenience for us to be there. We didn't have any chance to settle between courses as they were brought out as soon as we had finished the previous one. When ordering desert we asked for without cream but both of us received this. After we had finished our desert there were staff hanging around seemingly waiting for us to ask for the bill, not the relaxing evening we had wanted. We ended up having a three course meal in just under an hour which seemed really rushed. The staff themselves were lovely, it just wasn't the nice evening that we had planned.

We almost didn't get a table because of bookings later on in the evening but they set us one up and I'm so glad they did. I ordered the Pizza Romagnola and it was lovely, really good food. It cost us £21.40 for 2 meals and 2 drinks, which was unexpected as the standard was so high. Good service, good atmosphere, definitely will revisit!

Managed to book a table on the last minute, which was a relief after failing to get tables elsewhere. Had a warm greeting from the staff on arrival and shown to a lovely table in the window. The food was excellent and very appetising as were the wine and Italian lager. All in all a very good experience of a quaint family Italian restaurant.

Being frugal (tight) we tend to eat at PPL, lunchtime and benefit from the special offers for eating at that time. I often worry when eating anywhere on "special offer" that either the quality or quantity suffers. Certainly not here, the quality is excellent and quantity, well if you do get more of an evening I wouldn't be able to eat it. I live in the wilds of Scotland now, but every-time we travel down a meal here is a must and it hasn't disappointed yet as I am sure it wont for you.

Went on a Monday night for a family birthday meal. Arrived at 6 and the place was already packed. Good job we booked. The staff are warm and welcoming and very attentive during service, despite being obviously very busy. The food was tasty and well presented and excellent value. Papa Luigis could become a regular haunt.

We visited Papa Luigi's Italian Restaurant (Wigan) for the first time on Saturday 24th September, 2016. First impressions were good as the Restaurant staff were very polite. We ordered the 10oz sirloin steak which was well cooked and very tasty. It was well presented with the usual trimmings. The portions were very generous. The staff were extremely efficient and courteous. Overall an excellent meal and would recommend.

Took my daughter and boyfriend with family and friends for early bird menu to celebrate their fantastic exam results!! Restaurant as always more than lived up to expectations!! Looked bright and felt continental!! Early bird was amazing value for money with three courses and large choice!! Chicken was available with variety of sauces!! Deserts had to be shared as eaten too much!! Atmosphere was great for wide variety of ages from 6 to 76 years old!! Even the teenagers enjoyed the music and chatted rather than being constantly on their phones!! will definitely be returning!!

Staff always smiling and welcoming. The food quality and presentation is consistently good. Spinach and ricotta ravioli was delicious, with a lovely cheese sauce. The spaghetti bolognese was very tasty and a generous portion. The prices are very reasonable, even without the specials. Will definitely return.

Papa Luigi's this is my favourite Italian restaurant the manager is always willing to try and get you a table as it's a very popular restaurant . people tend to go back again and again. The staff are lovely and very friendly and will to help. The food is always piping hot and well presented I have tried many different dishes off the menu and have never been disappointed from pizza to risotto and pasties everyone seems to be nice also the prices of pretty reasonable so you can eat though even if you're on a budget

Very attentive staff, if a little over friendly at times but excellent food and plenty of it. I had a fillet steak and it was massive with no fat on at all, which is just how I like it. The rest of the food was cooked to perfection for me and we had a lovely evening. Will be going again.

Lovely food, great staff and very well priced. Monkfish and lobster dishes are incredible. You can't really go wrong in what you order but if you want to have something special get one of their lobster sauce dishes. Can't understand how other Italian Reataurants in Wigan are rated higher in trip advisor.

We visited on a Saturday evening without booking and were warmly welcomed; a short wait later we were served with an excellent meal. The staff were friendly and attentive; the food and wine were excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Papa Luigis - they are working hard to overcome the legacy of a previous restaurant on this site and deserve to succeed.

We regularly eat here as it it our favourite Italian in Wigan. We have never ever had a bad meal and it always comes to the table fresh and hot! (The cannelloni is my favourite) The staff and manager are spot on. Not too overbearing but not too laid back and will always go out of their way to assist. The restaurant is self is clean/tidy and definitely fit for purpose.... you are not seated that close to others which can make me feel uncomfortable. Can not find fault at all

Come here a few times with friends (not my choice) and everytime the food has been poor. First visit both myself and friend ordered chicken and peppercorn sauce that was it it came on a plate with lots of sauce oh and a portion of veg to share which equated to 1 and a half potatoes each and a few carrots absolutely nothing to soak up the excessive sauce on the plate. Second time i visited was a week day any pasta or pizza at a discounted rate. Ordered lasagne for the price was okay but food was not restaurant quality. Manager was very friendly and talkative he is the only plus point at this restaurant unfortunely

We came here for a mothers day meal a few weeks ago. Rang and booked first, staff were very accommodating to us as we had a new born in a pram, they gave us a table where we had space to fit him next to us on the pram. Staff were very friendly. The food was great and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit here again :)

I came here as I love Italian and was very disappointed in Francos. This restaurant was recommended to me so we thought why not try it. First impressions was ummm ok not a very warm welcome and it was noisy. But as the night settled the place warmed. Plenty of choice on the menus and the food we had was very good can't knock the quality.The staff were busy Italians always on the go but I guess once you become a regular they would treat you like family, it just seem that sort of place.The only negatives for me is that the main courses are very tasty and creative but the veg is not its just boiled and placed on a side dish. The desert menu is laminated card like a cafe in Blackpool shame as the deserts are really nice, it would be better if they scrapped the cheap menu. Overall I like it and would go again and may try the take away pizza they do next.
