Pizzeria Italia in Sefton

Absolutely brilliant experience. Very polite staff and lovely family owner business. I did not have a booking however was warmly greeted from the beginning. Personally, I am gluten free and find it hard to eat at restaurants as they are not very considerate of my preferences. However, this time everything went smoothly as I was immediately presented with a list of alternative options for my allergy and the food was divine as expected. The penne al pollo was an 11/10 and the chocolate Eton mess was perfect! I got the Merlot which was precisely poured for me ; it was rich and smooth. Will never forget this fabulous little Italian restaurant.

This restaurant is beautiful! Beautiful interior and amazing service I didn’t book but the staff were brilliant of fitting me in! The food is delicious I would highly recommend the Italian style chicken! It sounds as good as it looks. The food is incredibly fresh and full of flavour. I would highly recommend great environment and it’s an amazing restaurant from the moment you enter and leave! Highly recommend and worth the money and affordable for all.

Had a fantastic meal at robertos . Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Lovely atmosphere inside the restaurant. Our meals were gorgeous very tasty and hot and presentation was 1st class. Could not fault this place will defiantly be a restaurant I will visit and recommend. Fantastic family run restaurant.

This is the second time ive visted the restaurant within two months as decided to give them another chance after an awful dining experience first time (friends request not mine), second visit was equally as poor will not return... Mains were being served before the table had been cleared well 2 mains as had to wait for others. A basic is to clear the previous course before next seems like no communication between restaurant and kitchen and chef sends dishes as and when they wish. Seemed very rushed like they just want people in and out. Nothing annoys me moreso when eating out at a restaurant and dishes are served at various times and the party not eating as a whole. Its not rocket science to plate all food together and deliver at once, as a chef its your job. First two meals were delived by the time the fourth had been served 15mins had passed and nobody ate as a table. Why send the first dish if the others aren't ready. Asked waitress where other meals were and she had been told by the female headchef to take dishes and others are on way which appeared, close to 15 mins from first, waitress was very polite and apologetic to her credit. The chef seems unable to cook a steak as requested and had to return again (same first visit), how can you continually get a steak wrong? The pizzas and garlic pizza with cheese were tasty so i was told but was about all that was good about visit. Wouldnt recommend. A solid 1/10 so many better Italian restaurants in Southport to visit!

Went for dinner on Saturday night, myself and my wife. The one thing that gets my goat is when both dishes aren't served together, my wife's main dish came out before my own and she had to wait for my pizza to arrive. Its not hard people to get this right especially when there is only two people to serve. My wife's dish was lovely she said, my pizza was a little well cooked on the base for my liking. I would have like to have a pizza cutting wheel instead of making do with a next to blunt knife. But apart from the above not a bad experience, the place is nice inside and the staff very helpful.

Staying in the Premier inn we decided to have our 53rd wedding anniversary dinner in Robertos, as we had eaten there before when food and service were excellent. This time the food again was very good and a credit to the kitchen staff but unfortunately ,everything was let down by the very young, although pleasant, untrained staff. . Waiter didn’t know what brandy was and the waitress forgot to put our coffee order through among other things including very loud music. We will not be returning and feel sorry for the kitchen staff who do a wonderful job. Failing to train staff competently is a poor use of resources.

Very nice place, clean , really nice food and very polite staff.Fairly priced. Would recommend to try if visiting or living in Southport.

Had a great meal here today 17/03/24 the restaurant is spotless, you can see 2 chefs cooking in a clean well maintained area. We shared a cheese garlic pizza, both had cannelloni & both had tiramasu, 1 pint peroni & 1 lage white wine total cost under £58. Could not fault anything the food was delicious. Staff were very nice, polite & professional. Would recommend a visit & we will return on our next visit to Southport.

Four has a brilliant meal here last night. Food was lovely and mushrooms amazing Staff friendly Will be returning

My wife and I went here for an evening meal and it was great, a nice quiet candlelit dinner. I had the lasagne. The staff were really pleasant and it was good value too.

Visited on a Monday night. It was quite quiet but don’t let that put you off. Ordered a bottle of wine, garlic pizza bread and two pasta dishes (lasagna and chicken arrabiattq). It was absolutely excellent and far exceeded expectations. Came to a very reasonable £52. Staff attentive and quick. Highly recommended

Our first time visiting Robertos and it was fantastic. The place is cosy and yet well presented decor wise. The food was brilliant and tasty. The flavours and combinations were amazing and we all enjoyed the dishes we picked. Service was excellent and friendly. My family and I will definitely be returning and we have already recommended friends and family members to give Robertos a try as we know they will not be disappointed!

I went to Roberto's one afternoon after we had gone bowling. I was with two friends. Unfortunately I have Celiac disease and lactose intolerant. So I asked for a tea but could I have any other milk like oat or soya. To which the reply was no sorry you will have to have water which I had to pay 3.95 for. Then going through the menu I asked what I could eat in it to which no one was sure. I asked to the BBQ ribs starter who’s are normally GF to be told sorry there are no starters on the menu you can I ?? So I proceeded to ask what could I have and the reply was one pizza with prawns and the same for the pasta. I hate prawns so I needed up paying 16.95 for a salad and a glass of water. My friends who was with me did enjoy there but I had to sit and watch them eat and enjoy cups of tea. The waitress were lovely but I will never recommend the place or go again. My friend who did go once a week hasn’t been back either. I have sent a complaint in but the only response I’ve had is sorry the staff are ill and on holiday so we can’t ask them. This is from the 1st September.

Dined at Roberts’s tonight while staying at the Premier Inn opposite the restaurant. What an excellent experience from the greeting at the door, to the prompt and friendly service, to the excellent food, to the professional chefs. We used to dine at the old Roberto’s when it was on Lord Street but that was 20 years ago and it was a good choice tonight to have a bit of nostalgia. A very genuine place to eat could not recommend it enough.

If you're looking for good garlic bread here ask for garlic on your bread. It was very bland and disappointing. Lacked salt & butter. However, main courses of carbonara and cannelloni were very good value. Good portions. Attentive service too.

We went off the cuff for our tea on a Sunday around 6pm. We didn't get starters, just main and dessert. Mains, carbonara and spaghetti and meatballs. Carbonara was lovely, nice portion too. My dessert was fudge cake and ice-cream, warmed, cake was over done in microwave so all fudge melted away from cake, and cake ended up a bit dry, the ice-cream was cheap vanilla. My partner han meatballs which again was nice and good portion. His dessert was apple and blackberry crumble, came in a small pot, the apple was nice he said, but the crumble was anything but, I tried a bit and it was soggy and thick, looked like it was uncooked and soggy pastry almost, nothing crumbly about it, and I've made various crumbles and eaten a few over the years, this was the worst. We had 1 cold drink each. This came to around 50 pounds. The service was ok, one young male staff was so slow in his movements around , also no eye contact on serving our dessert, the other staff were ok so overall reasonable. Did not complain about desserts just left nearly all of them on the plate. I would go again for the pasta but no dessert .

Stayed at the Premier Inn over the road so booked Robertos simply due to it's location. Excellent choice. Food was hot and very tasty. Lots of choice, could have chosen lots off the menu. Good value, good service. Would recommend.

Really helpful and accommodating staff; we were a party of 13 and had been badly let down by another restaurant. Roberto's booked us in at very short notice and even served our own cake which had been prepared for my daughter's 50th birthday. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Despite the large party size, we weren't required to pre-order any dishes and the food was served promptly and was of good quality.

We have just visited Roberto's for our lunch after a walk with our dog. We had an excellent meal, my husband had Lasagne and I had the best Penne Arrabiata I have had. Tatiana cooked my meal. We have been going to Roberto's for many years, todays meal was the best. Thankyou to all the staff today

What a fantastic lunch at Roberto's today with my family staff fantastic and so polite food are just amazing and 5 starts to the cheff as the food was so tasty 😋 will be back defenly

I have been to Roberto's many times and the food and service has always been excellent. However, this evening (16/4/23), my partner and I went for a meal, getting to the restaurant around 19:15. Closing time according to Google is 21:00, so knew we had...

Well what can I say, the service in this place is spot on. Food is amazing and staff are very attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice, cosy Italian restaurant with the best food around!!

All of the staff are lovely and the food is amazing and completely worth the price. Highly recommend.

Main courses were excellent - taste amazing, portion size great. 10/10 Service was patchy- when our main courses were eventually cleared we weren't asked about desserts/coffees and had to ask for menus. 6/10 I suspect part of the problem was a shift changeover. The desserts...

Never again. We have been to Robertos on a good few occasions traveling over 30’mins usually but the food today was so bland the £17.95 Italian chicken resembled frozen Bernard matthews chicken roll the cheese cake was melted whipped cream (not set at all was...

Unexpected visit, amazing service, so attentive, spot on. Rare these days, food matched it, so impressed, will definitely be back and recommend anyone to try Roberto's out. Can't believe I've not been here in years, loved it. Thanks team, keep up the great work!!!

The portion size of the ravioli was minute it was more like a starter than a main course. We felt hungry as we left and felt it was not value for money

Our second visit. Where to start? Let’s start at the starters. I ordered prawns wrapped in Parma ham. I was given the wrong prawn starter. Queried with a member of staff who was clearly annoyed with me and told me there were 2 types of...

Went recently and ordered carbonara and tiramisu. Pasta was over cooked and eggs scrambled as if they were added into a piping hot pan. Tiramisu tasted very strange. Used to be our regular but no more!

Nicely decorated restuarant, but wouldn't travel out of my way to go there, food was average. Starter of bread and oil was cold baguette (seemingly out of the fridge). Mains were bland. Staff were polite.

The best meal and service that I have had in a long time. We had not booked but we were accommodated and the service was great

Went with two other couples. We all had lovely meals, good value for money and a nice atmosphere. Staff were good, efficient and friendly. No complaints

We took a large group of kids to the Vue cinema for a birthday treat followed by Robertos. Can’t recommend enough. The staff were so helpful. Our food was serviced quickly and was delicious. We pre ordered which makes sense as we didn’t want to...

Had a great meal there tonight. Full marks for food, service and ambiance. Would be delighted to return.

We only stopped for an afternoon coffee but were so impressed by the welcome and the fact that our dog would be welcomed, that we booked a table for two nights. This turned out to be a great decision as the food was excellent on...

Outstanding service and food. Authentic and great to see chef in the kitchen and at the pass. Food all freshly prepared and served piping hot. Served with freshly grated Parmesan. Definitely recommend.

Wow! This is a popular place - and for good reason. We got the last walk in table on a Friday night and whilst it was a reasonably long wait for our food (30 minutes) it was well worth it! The staff were rushed off...

Tuesday evening in Summer hols, so busy! Made for a great atmosphere. Our waiter, Sunny, was run off his feet, but that didn't stop him smiling and laughing with us during our visit. He made our evening so relaxed and comfortable. Gorgeous, fresh food (again),...

Visited with my boyfriend, best pasta and best burger either of us have had in a long while! The service was great and everyone was really friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone living in or visiting Southport.

Best burger I've had for a long time. Service was good without being obtrusive. The staff were friendly and I liked the ambience. Definitely a restaurant I felt comfortable in, dining solo. I shall certainly be returning before too long.

Wonderful service, fantastic food. What more do you need? Perfect for families and couples and also caters for gluten free.

Avoid at all costs. It cost us over £60 for 4 meals. Burgers came out Cole. Cooked, but cold - so the meals aren't made fresh! Pizza was tasteless and even the chips were cold. 4 cokes came to more than £15! Service was awful....

Booked for a table of four, Two adults and two kids! When we arrived they scrambled about to get us a table and acted as if they didn’t no we were coming. Once we were seated at our table we then waited 15 minutes to...

The food was very nice, it was busy since it was good Friday but they served us swiftly. Our waiter Sonny (I think) was very funny and chatted up my mum and nan, made the experience very enjoyable. Thank you :)

Fantastic place and restaurant great service with a smile , me and my boys really enjoyed the food and chief was a friendly guy who help my son try his first mussels:-)

We always love a meal out at Roberto's. We especially enjoyed.being served by Sunny tonight. We highly recommend Roberos for both the food and service

Exceptional food and amazing service! Such a lovely friendly atmosphere in this family run Italian restaurant. My daughter and I visited mid week for dinner, the pasta dishes are the best and such good value. All the staff are helpful, friendly and professional always making...

Easily one of the worst places for food in Southport. Waited 40 minutes just for someone to come and take our order and only got asked if we wanted drinks once and we were there for over two hours. Over £15 for an unseasoned carbonara...

Arguably the worst place to eat in southport. Poorly managed and staff have no clue on customer service. 30min wait just to take our order. No water for the table, no napkins, no cutlery for mains. The wait for food was laughable and the staff...

Friends booked this restaurant for an evening meal to celebrate a birthday. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and tidy and the decor was nice and very Italian. Tables were laid out with glasses and cutlery with a...

Servers were lovely and polite, have to mention Sonny too, very outgoing and enjoyable to chat to!! 5 Star service, 5 star food. Had the spag meatballs and spag carbonara, followed by tiramisu and Eton mess. All served within 10-15 minutes and felt at home....

All staff are lovely, both visits sunny/sonny has been absolutely lovely. Breath of fresh air. Great food and atmosphere

Had a great meal with my friend, we’ve been here a few times and it never disappoints. Staff were very attentive. Our main waiter, Sonny, was lovely and so was the food. We will definitely come again.

We waited 30 minutes for our order. Prior to this I specifically asked for a lemon slice in my coca-cola. Forgot! Even worse was the forgetting of potatoes and veg with the rack of lamb my sister in law ordered. Completely missed. The food is...

An excellent restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, attentive staff and very generous portions. I had the salmon and it was like a double portion. I would definitely come here to eat the next time I visit.

Stayed at the Premier Inn across the car park and walked over here for an evening meal. Good selection of reasonably priced food and a nice feel to the place. Very friendly staff. Even the chef came out to chat to us at the end...

Had a lovely meal with my dad. Sonny looked after us and I really enjoyed meeting him, very pleasant and attentive! Food was very nice! My ricotta cheese and spinach ravioli was lovely and had room for dessert which was brownies! Very good! And very...

We came here as a family with children, initial feelings from the décor is that you are entering a chain restaurant, but reading the press cuttings on the wall it would seem this is a long established restaurant in the Southport area. It wasn't too...

I would definitely recommend this family run Italian restaurant. The food is freshly prepared and such good value for money. The lasagne is the best I’ve ever had! The staff are very attentive, nothing is too much trouble. They really put the customer at the...

First time visitors, pre-cinema lunch. Starters - Halloumi fries were very good, Pate, good size portion but not a great taste. Mains - Lasagne was basically mince and bechamel, could see very little pasta in it. Linguini Alfredo - Bland, really bland. Garlic bread was...

We always visit Robertos' for our pre Christmas night out. Beautiful surroundings- fabulous food. Service fantastic , we love the place. Best Lasagne on the planet !! Always feels special.

If I was a chef here I would be upset, all the effort made to put the food together really well is spoilt by service staff that hang out at the bar and chat. I:ve been three times in 2021 and every visit has been...

Visit Robertos, an Italian oasis opposite the Premier Inn hotel. We called in early evening as the restaurant started to fill, the atmosphere was warm and friendly. The staff were attentive and very friendly and allowed us time between courses to make for an excellent...

Amazing place , from the attentive staff to the lovely atmosphere one of the best places I’ve been for a while. And the food was cooked to perfection, the prawns to start and sirloin as a main both cooked exactly as requested and the peppercorn...

One of the nicest Italians I’ve visited, the food was exceptional, the staff extremely kind and helpful. I would highly recommend visiting here if in the area

I can’t complain about the food, it’s excellent, but the service is utterly dire. The staff love to make you wait…. And wait. They’re well practiced in ignoring customers.

this restaurant was an amazing find on Ocean Plaza where we were staying at the Premier Inn. The food was amazing and the restaurant made you feel that you were in Italy. Don't expect fast food, sit back and enjoy a glass of wine while...

Only called in here for a latish pizza, but loved the place. Stylish and modern looking decor added to a welcoming atmosphere. Pizza was very good. Would recommend.

Expected a lot considering how highly it was rated on here yet got very little in return. The food was extremely average and it takes a lot for me to say that being a pizza/Italian cuisine lover. As for the service, slow isn’t the word!...

Lovely place and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu The food was delicious Thank you

Decided to treat ourselves to a meal at Roberto's seeing as we could see it from our hotel across the way. We were not disappointed. The service was unobtrusive, the food was divine and the portion sizes just right. I chose the spinach ricotta ravioli...

Once again Robertos and it’s staff have contributed to a large family outing, by making it an amazing experience! From the warm welcome, fabulous staff and exceptional food our visit today has reaffirmed my love of family run restaurants. If you want great food, excellent...

Amazing food. I just wish we lived nearer to go here more often .Service was great. Not one bad word to say If you go to Southport you MUST eat here

We stayed at the Premier Inn across the road from the restaurant and ate at Roberto's for 4 nights. Great choices on the menu and then staff were very friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit and the quality of the food was first class.

Found this restaurant by chance and what a gem of a restaurant it is!! The food was absolutely superb and cooked to perfection. Lovely staff who were friendly and attentive, we will return!

We visited Roberto's three times whilst we were on holiday, very friendly, brilliant food, great atmosphere convenient location.

Relatively basic Italian restaurant. We were with 3 children under 8 so it helped them find food which appealed to them. Sizeable outside terrace at front of building. Ice cream good value for children. My pizza was tasty and well cooked.

Where to begin. starting with staff, friendly,helpful, and knowledgeable. The food was excellent very good portions and extremely tasty. This is hands down the best Italian mainstream restaurant I’ve visited. I can not fault it in any way what’s so ever. The location is Ideal...

Booked table for 7.30pm went early to have drink outside ordered at 7pm and still hadn’t received them when table was ready. Ordered starters at 7.50 and they came at 8.46, main course was then another hour after that.Not only us who had to wait...

We booked a table for 8 and everyone was impressed with the food. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a realy nice Italian feel about it. The staff were pleasant and helpful . The food was amazing we had a vegetarian in our party...
