Great place wonderful food great service best restaurant I know and I've tried a lot

Lovely lunch and catch-up with a friend. Very busy for mid week lunch, due to delicious food they make fresh every meal. 😋

Fabulous place for an Italian and not badly priced

Surprise birthday lunch for my friend, food was absolutely delicious, set lunch menu, ooh the mushrooms and smoked salmon pate, then tge pork and the cod, and a lovely surprise for her a slice of cake with a candle she was so so surprised. Staff were ever so busy but their attention was second to non. Certainly recommend Papa Luigi

Very good, one of my favourite restaurants

Delicious food, brilliant atmosphere and super friendly and accommodating staff!! And Monday special pizza and pasta for £6.95 is an absolute win !! I would say this is a hidden gem but everyone seems to know about it and if you don’t then you should!!

Great Food, service was soo rushed. CHECK YOUR BILL!!! Especially if a large group, they added things on, and 3 times I had to get this rectified! And the lady/Manager was not very apologetic, just like yeah whatever. Very Dissapointing.

Incredible food, served quickly and lovely atmo. Ferdinando the chef was incredible, what a talent that man has 😍 get yourselves down here for a 5* experience. The waiting staff are super friendly, and are always on hand if you need anything. Couldn't ask for a better experience

Very nice restaurant ☺️ Food was delicious and the service was great 👍🏻

Been going here for 28 years plus every Monday love it 😀

Great food,great price,great service..highly recommended looking forward to next visit.

Been going here for 30 years! Amazing Italian food, if you’ve not been you need to make a visit. Staff are so friendly & attentive.

As soon as we arrived, the atmosphere was a buzz! The staff were on hand right away to serve us. After getting drinks at the bar, it wasn’t long till our orders were taken. My daughter’s coeliac disease was absolutely no problem for the staff or chef to cater for and their options were lovely. As soon as we sat down, our starter came within minutes and all our food came out hot and well presented. The cuisine was second to non! It was our first time coming tonight & it beats their rivals hands down!! We have already decided what to we want to order for our next visit! The staff were very attentive and the restaurant was very clean and well organised!

Went on Monday night for their specials, great meal for the money. Excellent service from the young staff

As always a fab meal with great service and atmosphere 👌

Really enjoyed my meal and the rest of my group enjoyed theirs as well. The cannelonis came out still bubbling and were very good as well as the other meals. The desserts were also very good. The staff were helpful and service was relatively quick. The food was reasonably priced, especially with a £6.95 meal of pasta or pizza on Mondays. The restaurant was a little bit noisy as well as busy and it was slightly difficult to hear but overall a very good restaurant.

I know why its so cheap to eat here. My food was inedible, I didn't eat my starter or my main. Everyone on my table complained that the food was salty and could barely finish. I ordered basic food and was shocked you could go so wrong. Staff were kind and helpful but the atmosphere feels rushed to get you in and out to sit more people and honestly I am not one to complain especially as it was a graduation meal for a family member I didn't want to ruin the occasion, but as we all shared the same views we did mention at the end the food wasn't as expected.

Mondays are two for one, great value,

Decent food nice atmosphere and friendly helpful staff, the only thing I was surprised about and all of us said the same about how spicy the food was for an Italian but it was still enjoyable none the less

What a wonderful place. As a disabled person they helped me out greatly. We were not able to eat a full meal there as had already eaten so we chose two puddings to go with our coffee and lager. Tiramisu and chocolate fudge cake. Can honestly say they were the best we had ever eaten . Staff were also brilliant and even refused money I offered for helping me out so much. Cannot wait to get back to eat a full meal here in such lovely surroundings with such kind and warm staff.

Great food and friendly efficient staff....all at reasonable prices.

Have never eaten here, but only ever heard positive feed back. Cousins birthday, I do not live in the area so rang to order some bottles of bubbles for the table. Only writing this as experience was very upsetting and I am still shocked. I spoke with a lady, explained cousin having birthday dinner (I did get name wrong that table was ordered under) so wanted to make sure was correct table. She said I was loud and shouting. I have a loud voice (nodules on voice box). But its also naturally loud as well. I do not raise my voice, it is not my style also my voice loud enough. It doesnt need raising. We finally worked out correct table, I then thought she had gone to get payment machine. But she just hung up. So I called back, another waitress answered. I explained previous call and again asked if I could pay over phone for bottles of bubbles. I was asked to wait a moment whilst she fetched the machine. Whilst I waited I had to listen to what herself and the first waitress were saying about me. Won't lie, it was very upsetting and I'm quite a tough cookie. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional as well as hurtful. When she came back on phone I politely told her I heard all their conversation, she went quiet and apologised then asked if still wanted the bubbles. I politely replied 'I don't think so'. Not sure what to take away from this experience. At least cover phone or put on hold if your going to talk badly about someone who wishes to spend money whom you have never met............

Been coming here for years, on various evenings including Mondays, Saturday evenings & the odd week night, but the last few times the food hasn't been as good, it's like they are using cheaper ingredients, I've had most of the menu aswell, Garlic breads have been burnt, hardly any cheese on them, Calazone just tasted of onions & peppers with a watery tomato sauce, my lasagne I had the last few times was tasteless & I've had better pizzas from a takeaway, yes you pay for what you get, seen lots of staff come & go over the years, now how can you call this an Italian when not one single Italian actually works there, they are all Hungarian, so to me it isn't an authentic Italian restaurant like it used to be years & years ago, also for anybody visiting, please do not give staff tips as the management seems to keep them, I only got told this from a member of staff, so my overall impression is I won't be rushing back in a hurry. Sorry Papas but I'm just giving my honest opinion on my last few visits & what I've experienced

Great place for a get-together or a family meal. Food fantastic, what more could you ask for.

Had lovely wild mushroom risotto last Monday at just £5.99. Mondays are pasta, pizza and risottos all £5.99. Exceptional price and quality. Will definitely be back for more.

This has been one of my local restaurants since I have lived in the area (forever). It has always kept up its reputation of a lovely Italian restaurant perfect for birthdays and celebrations. I visited this weekend for an evening meal and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were lovely and provided a great service and the food was very tasty, with generous portions. My niece is a vegetarian and has quite a limited diet, they were happy to provide to a simple spaghetti Napoli and do have a note on the menu highlighting the veggie and vegan options are available. They have a lot of midweek deals on at great prices so I would recommend going in the week. 📸PICTURED📸 spaghetti Con Frutti Di Mare Pane All Aglio Con Pomodoro Spaghetti Napoli For more local reviews, check out my Instagram @niceatsuk

Lovely traditional trattoria, excellent and friendly service. Great food at very good prices.

Visited this authentic Italian again today, never fails to provide a high quality service. Friendly and attentive serving staff, relaxed atmosphere and modern decor. The food is always cooked to perfection with exquisite seasoning. I would highly recommend a visit, Reasonably priced for high quality services.

Perfectly acceptable, slightly expensive.

Had my first visit here last week. We were a group of 12, and we had such great service from start to finish. We had the Monday deal, which was such good value. I had the pasta deal for £5.95. The food was so fresh and piping hot. We shared some garlic bread between us, which were also lovely. We will definitely be back We visited again tonight in a group of 10. It was busier tonight, so some things weren't as good as the first time we came. We ordered 4 garlic breads, and only 2 came out, and we had to reorder the other 2. All our food arrived and was very tasty but we didn't have spoons so we had to wait for those. I know these are only little things x

The food was excellent.staff were helpful and attentive.

Consistently fabulous food, service and atmosphere.

Great food - both starters and main. Good price for the quality. Service was warm and welcoming throughout. Cracking desserts you can take home with you afterwards if you’re not feeling it there and then. Will definitely go again.

Just recently called up to place an order for collection, the receptionist who received the call and answered after we politely asked if we can place the order replied “yes 1 minute” and left me on hold for 10/15 minutes listening to her have conversations with other customers and staff members… if they’re too busy to take orders at that moment in time good customer service would mention this immediately

Was so good me and my friend made it our main take out now all I would add would be red salt

I have been dining at Papa Luigi's for over thirty years now. Food is always piping hot and tasty. Came here with my partner & her mum to celebrate a birthday. I had spare ribs, Pizza Mafioso and brownie. Delicious!

Fantastic service . Super quick without feeling rushed .

What an amazing Italian restaurant this is. Superb freshly cooked food delivered to the table by very friendly staff 10/10

Very busy, booking is advisable. Food and service very good. Although very busy not rushed .

Party of 7. Great pasta however the few mussels were all closed. The sea bass main was awful split sauce unpleasant taste on overcooked fish. Inedible roast potatoes and the whole meal was like leftovers reheated. This is the third time eating here and 2 out of 3 visits we were overcharged. This time nearly £60 was added to our bill. Still waiting for refund to show. Disappointed.

One of the few restaurants we have been to for a large family celebration. Everyone's order was correct,all food arrived at the same time and the service was excellent.We will definitely be back and recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Garlic bread with cheese is one of the best I've ever had.... Restaurant is really warm so was uncomfortable to eat in.. Staff are lovely! Food is spot on

Every aspect of our dining experience at this Italian restaurant in Wigan was flawless. The food was delicious, with each dish prepared to perfection. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy our meal. Overall, a superb dining destination for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine and impeccable service.Complimenti per il chef e grazzie mille Ana e Luca!

You can tell it's good as it always busy with a great attentive staff who spend the time chatting with you and delivering great service.

Went with 12 of my family for my birthday everything was excellent. Thank you.

Our food was fine. No problem. But if you're in the back area you have to keep walking out to the front to get wait staff for anything. And if a couple of people order fish at the same time, the whole restaurant smells of fish for ages because the kitchen is right next to the tables. They need stronger extractor fans.

Nice, simple Italian food. Very accommodating for a big group.

Just had Mother's Day Lunch at Papa Luigi's and we cannot fault a single thing. The food was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive, service was swift and very professional, all of which must be difficult to achieve during a busy service period!

Arrived at 6.15 for a booking for 6.30pm. People came after 6.30 had orders taken and sat. We had almost finished a drink by the time we were taken to our table at around 6.50/6.55. By 7.30 we ordered another drink. By 7.45 (only 50 minutes at the table) very much got the impression by one server that we needed to give our table up. I understand the restaurant was / is busy on Monday evening. However we had literally just finished mains, and was 5 minutes into our second drink. Sorry I cannot recommend the service. However food was OK.

Food is consistently brilliant 👏

Always excellent and well priced

Absolutely brilliant Italian restraunt. Me and friends who had recently got married, went there on a Monday to celebrate and the atmosphere was absolutely lovely, as well as the food! Value wise Mondays are cheaper, however to be honest I would go any day of the week because it's just worth it. This is a place where you would feel comfortable having a black tie event as well as a smart casual one.

Visited on many occasions and the standard of food and presentation is excellent.

Been going for many Years. Always fabulous 👌

Visited here a fair few times,it's my boyfriends and his family's favourite restaurant. We went last Saturday which was packed as it was weekend before valentines day but we were seen to promptly and the food we had was really good as it always is. Very reasonably priced too,my boyfriend tried the chicken parmigiano special and there was easy enough to feed two, I tried the penne isla which I'll certainly have again. Stuffed mushrooms are stunning and so was the cheesy garlic bread. Suitable menu for all ages,tastes and preferences. Highly recommend, the staff are brilliant too.

Lovely food. Good service time. Friendly staff.

Absolutely terrible will never return ripped off to say the least

Good food and a nice atmosphere 👌 03.02.24 We had take away for the first time and it was delicious 😋 and very hot. A pasta dish, a pizza and a garlic bread - perfect 🎉

We've never been before. Can highly recommend, the food, staff amazing. We will definitely be going back.

Just absolutely love this Restaurant, from the minute you walk in you are made to feel welcome by the wonderful manager and staff. The food is cooked to perfection, I sometimes go here with a friend or with a large group. Always an enjoyable experience. Denise

The food is mouthwatering delicious and full of flavour service was excellent had a great experience highly recommended Good value for money

Went with family for a birthday. I have certain dietary requirements, I checked my food when it arrived and it looked like there was cheese on it, I had a family member taste to check, she thought it was so I asked the staff she then very loudly daid it wasn’t, she went on about it for a while and the whole restaurant went quiet I felt embarrassed and made an example of. As the main arrived the staff went round with the cheese, sprinkling it over peoples food I said no and put my hand over my bowl as cheese can make me very poorly the member of staff then very loudly said I KNOW again making an example. We then ordered 2 drinks later in the evening we waited 40 mins whilst others drinks arrived which had been ordered after ours so we just told staff not to bother. I definitely will not be going back, I have a dietary issue and was embarrassed by the staff. Very disappointed

My wife and i went for Xmas dinner yesterday and the whole experience was fabulous. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all brilliant. Mica and his team worked very hard to ensure that everyone in the full restaurant were kept “ fed and watered “ throughout and they all did it with big smiles on their faces. Thank you to the whole team, we have already booked for next year !!

Amazing food and lovely staff would definitely recommend

Very busy but the staff looked after us very well, the food was ok and we had a good time.

First visit and would highly recommended. Seafood risotto was fabulous, as we're all my friends dishes. Good value for money too. Table was a little cramped with not much elbow room but hey, it is Christmas and very busy. Thank you, we'll be back.

I had the pleasure of dining at Pàpa Luigi's with a party of 24, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The portions served were incredibly generous, and each dish boasted a perfect balance of flavors that left our taste buds delighted. The presentation of the food was artfully done, adding to the overall dining experience. One minor drawback was the extensive menu, which, while a testament to the restaurant's variety, made decision-making a tad challenging. Nonetheless, this only speaks to the abundance of delicious options available. If I were to make recommendations, the seafood and steak dishes were standout choices that truly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, providing a perfect setting for a large gathering. The attentive staff ensured our party of 24 was well taken care of throughout the evening. Despite the menu's vastness, the service remained efficient and friendly. In conclusion, Pàpa Luigi's deserves every bit of its five-star rating. The combination of fantastic portions, exquisite flavors, and top-notch presentation, coupled with a cozy ambiance and attentive service, makes it a must-visit Italian restaurant. I look forward to returning for another delightful culinary experience.

Lovely visit food was delicious

Went for an early evening meal which was quite lucky as they have an early bird menu. Priced at £19.99 you might expect that the portions would be small, far from it. We all had superb meals. It's been quite a few years since we have been here but we will be going back VERY soon

Took 4 boys 8 -11 for a birthday treat. Staff were really helpful and considerate. The boys said it was the best pizza ever

Great get-together at Papa Luigis. Lovely meal.

We went on a Monday for the offer it was lovely food, the service was great.

Absolutely beautiful food at a very reasonable price with excellent service. My only gripes would be that the tables are a little bit close together and I only reluctantly left a tip after finding out that all the tips go to the management without the servers receiving a share.

Always fantastic. Monday offer unrivalled

Came for a work lunch, and the £15 3 course lunch menu is exceptionally good value. the portion sizes are great and the taste is even better. Friendly and responsive staff.

Big occasion Birthday and we had a lovely time great food. Only negative was the toilets weren't disable friendly hence she did not go due to her concerns which was sad for us. Other than that top notch

We have been many times. Love the place. We have never had a bad meal yet. The food is fantastic! Look out for the special's board, the staff are friendly and attentive and the prices are very fair. Keep up the good work all of you. Well done.

Really family focused dining early evening here. Food was tasty and there are good deals most days. We enjoyed our visit.

Excellent food. Lovely and warm environment. Staff friendly.

Lovely place! Lovely food, service and atmosphere. Great, hard working staff. Thank you

Visited today with a large family party. Service was a little catotic but the food was absolutely perfect. We had lots of different starters, mains and deserts, all were well presented and tasty.

Been here many times over the years. I took my boys and mum on Monday evening, luckily they fitted us in as it was really busy. They have an amazing deal on a Monday and pizza or pasta dish £5.99. the portions are normal size and they are delicious. I had the lasagne and a rocket salad. My son's had Bolognese and carbonara they both said it was really good. Mum had a pizza with chicken and sweetcorn which was nice but the base could have been cooked more. Overall a great evening , the staff are brilliant and the atmosphere was great with it being so busy. I highly recommend trying here and they do deals during the week, so a good opportunity to try it for a very reasonable price.

Fantastic restaurant can't fault it on anything, great food , great service in a great atmosphere

Really enjoyed the pasta dishes, also the garlic bread and pizza's

Loved the food and service, if I have one criticism it would be the cheese cake - it was basically mousse on a biscuit base, ie not real cheese cake

Before we was going to leave we ordered a pizza to takeaway for a sick family member and some ice cream before we paid and left, pizza came within 5 minutes waited an extra 10 minutes for the ice cream still nothing so had to order it again, also there was and offer on pizza and pasta but if you order it for takeaway even though you have been eating in they will charge you full price for it so don't do that just ask for a box to take it away.

Over rated like a cattle market,food very average bland

Best pizza around and bargain offer on a Monday night.

Super friendly staff & great food made this a lovely lunch.

Amazing!! Accidentally turned up very late for our reservation but staff were super friendly and got us sat down relatively quickly. Our food was great and priced nicely. Cocktails were lovely - I recommend the Apple of your (my?) Eye

Really nice food and friendly staff

Great food, great food, great prices. Got the lunchtime special, not disappointed. Will definitely be going again. Highly recommended

Food good. Service good. Quite noisy and was only midweek. If you are eating out as a couple ask for a quiet table

Had lunch menu very poor. Eight in our party. Three had Pate which after asking twice it arrived 10 minutes after everyone elses and arrived with bread that looked like it had never seen a toaster or grill. Do they waited again till browned toast arrived. Chicken stringy and tough. Pork tough as well couldn't eat it. Won't be going back sorry not good enough

Great Italian Restaurant for a nice meal on special occasions. Good selection of food on the menu.

The food has always been excellent and visited many times. Today we had the roast dinner and it was the worst we have ever had. Tiny frozen Yorkshire puds, processed roast beef and hard potatoes. All main main meals were way below par!!!

First visit. Won't be the last. Food was nice. Good service even though it was busy. Big portions

First time having a meal at papa luigis and it was amazing will definitely be back soon amazing food fantastic service and atmosphere and a good price andrea xxx

What a great restaurant. We went for lunch and wasn't disappointed. We only tried the special 2 course offering but if the rest of the food is anything like that we will be in for a treat when we go again
