Very disappointed. Went there for father in laws 80+ birthday. First things first - service was exemplary. Two younger guys serving us didn’t put a foot wrong and were extremely courteous and chatty. So customer service 100% Atmosphere - not a lot they can do about it but we were in back room and sat between two tables of 10 and 12 respectively, both tables having clearly consumed a fair bit of alcohol and incredibly loud. This was a shame… Food - sorry to say but authentic Italian this is not. The pasta was badly cooked, under cooked indeed, hard and oddly crispy/burnt on the underneath. Three of us had carbonara and none of us finished because it was not nice. I had rigatoni with salmon and prawns. It was beyond bland and hard to revive even with pepper or chilli. There was no flavour to my other half’s arrabiata either. And that’s the reason we’d not return - The food. It was sub par, badly cooked and bland. Sorry guys you need to do better… And it wasn’t particularly cheap. Two of us were not drinking - Six people the bill came to over £240. A real shame.

The setting’s not really my cup of tea to be honest… it’s a bit basic, no frills, but the place chose us really as we came out of The Wheatsheaf opposite after finding out that they only served roasts on Sunday lunchtime. But how surprised was I when the pizzas came out- the best pizza I’ve eaten in years. Seriously. Authentic Italian pizza base, delicious toppings. I was very satisfied and would return time and time again if I lived locally.

We had a really nice pizza and a couple of drinks, when we had finished the meal and the minute we had paid for it, the waiter sold the table and asked us to leave. The people who were told that the table was available asked if it was ok and I said not really but we will leave. Very poor service

We had a fabulous takeaway with spaghetti puttanesca and the Rigatoni della nonna. Both dishes were really tasty and large portions, I should have probably saved some for the next day but it was too delicious. Great service when we came in to order and we were offered drinks whilst waiting that added to our evening out. We can't wait to eat in and are already planning our next visit.

A first visit to this Italian restaurant in Sandbach. It looks quite small from the outside but somehow is larger inside stretching back a long way. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The food is very tasty (multo gusto) . The pasta dishes we had were reasonably priced. The polpette in rich tomato sauce is very good. The wine list looks very interesting with one bottle at over four hundred pounds!!! However I suggest the Barola will be very nice and more affordable. I definitely will visit again.

My food was far too salty and inedible. It's actually a health risk to make someone's dish so salty and the chef should know that. I left half of it. I felt very ill when I got home and my blood pressure was up. There was tacky supermarket Christmas music blaring in our ears. Sorry to leave a bad review, but it's not cheap so they should be able to get it right. I lived in Italy for 10 years and know what my dish should taste like. I didn't complain because if you complain in a restaurant a) you don't know what they will do to the replacement dish and b) there is always an awkward atmosphere, and it was a special night out. Won't be going back.

Every meal was excellent quality and staff were lovely . However if prices differ from the menu then the customer should be advised in advance. Cheese cake without the fruit compo but instead with a scoop of ice cream came to £10.50 - they added a £2.50 surcharge. Removed from raised but it’s the principle. Also if you go there in winter avoid the table right in front of the entry )exit door it was cold. Despite having a plug in heater it was still cold when door opened which was frequently as you would expect with a busy restaurant. We asked to move but this could not be accommodated, as busy . My friends sat on the side of the table with their backs to the door otherwise I would not have been able to stay to eat it was so cold. On this basis I will not return again for a while!

Very impressed with this cosy restaurant in Sandbach. It's not so large and it does get busy, so booking ahead is advised. The staff are very frindly and welcoming in a way only Italians can be. Our food was excellent. We started with the Halloumi Fries and the stuffed mushrooms and they were both very good. For main we chose the Rigatoni Portofino (with prawn and salmon), and the Pollo Calabrese in a beautiful sauce with olives and a touch of chilli. Again both mains were spot on. Washed down with a bottle of Primitivo and a glass each of fine Grappa to finish, the bill was a pretty reasonable £90. This was our first visit, nut it will not be our last!!

We have been going to Raffaeles for many years, the food, service and entertainment have always been of the highest quality! This is why when my partner and I got engaged, we knew straight away that we would pick Raffaeles to host our Engagement Party, and it did not disappoint! Salvatore was accommodating from the outset, allowing us to help with picking the menu, the drinks that we’d have on offer, clearing out all of the tables for dance floor space and accommodating a singer/dj in the front room. The atmosphere that was created with all of this was an absolute night to remember. Every single person at Raffaeles last night played their roles to absolute perfection, all of the staff were amazing. The food was out of this world, nearly every person at the party (of which there were 40) complimented the food massively, so a big thank you to the chefs!! An overall amazing night, one to remember, and we hope to do further functions/parties there in the future. If you are ever wondering where to have an event, then look no further!

Visited on a Saturday night. The bruschetta starter was nice but not over generous. We had chosen the salad as a main, we have had this salad when it was a starter, it is a mix of leaves, walnuts, cheese, apple and honey dressing. Very tasty and a generous portion. On the occasion we chose the addition of chicken. We were expecting a pan fried chicken breast ! We received a salad in what looked like a cereal bowl. There was about 2 pieces of cheese and a chopped chicken breast. The chicken was tasteless and was like a cooked chicken breast from a supermarket. Very disappointing. We don't normally have a dessert but we're still hungry. The staff are really young so it really wasn't appropriate to take it up with them. Having second thoughts about going again.

It reminded me so much of the amazing food we have sampled in the Italian lakes & on the Amalfi coast. Fabulous flavours, so fresh & tasty. The refreshing, authentic taste of Peroni on draught was my drink of choice. Although, I am now looking forward to our next visit to sample their Italian red wines. Grazie mille 🙏& a presto

A real gem of a find. The food is top notch beaten only by the wine. They’re great with kids and I’ve enjoyed many meals there. They do a dessert option that’s to die for. It’s called ‘grandma’s desserts’ and it’s a glass cabinet with what they have available. Try something that the staff recommend, you won’t be disappointed. They seem to be a firm favourite with cyclists, families, couples, friends. That should tell you everything.

Someone was seated at our table when we arrived, and the manager kept saying ‘2 minutes more’, ‘2 minutes more’. Five of us were stood at the bar for more than 10 minutes and no one offered us drinks, or an apology. So many staff, yet three different waiters took our first drinks order at different times, each one forgetting things. There was no communication, or professionalism. Food was tasteless, and overpriced. Pasta was clearly not fresh as advertised, was undercooked (not al dente) and the sausage was full of gristle. A £20 fish stew tasted like tinned mackerel, and a £19 baked salmon was over baked, white, and accompanied by the saddest beans and two potatoes. The worst ‘Italian’ food I’ve ever eaten, and generally one of the most poorly run restaurants I’ve ever visited. And I’ve spent 15 years working in them. Manager was unhelpful when we raised concerns. Was going to go for desert but decided against it considering the absolute trash they pass as authentic Italian.

I ordered a takeout pizza. Honestly when I got home and saw the result I was hugely dissatisfied. The ingredients were not generous at all, with next to nothing on it. The presentation was poor, I thought the dog had put it together. The price for this was too high - I won’t be going back for another.

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of 11 friends. Firstly we were asked to pre-order as a large group which we did but I don't think this works for tapas. The food was tasty, well cooked & presented nicely, cannot fault the food. However, the service was terrible, despite there being a lot of Staff on duty, we felt ignored by them. The restaurant was not busy but the staff were pretty much not there. We were ignored when arriving, one friend waited 20 minutes for a gin & tonic on arrival, when chased, response was rude not apologetic at all. We were not asked if anything was alright until we had finished, nor if we needed anything else and did not have the opportunity to order any more drinks than what we ordered on arrival as no staff came near the table. We would have had a lot more drinks if able to order so the restaurant missed out here. Turns out the young inexperienced staff felt no need to be present in the restaurant to respond to our needs but were more concerned with what appeared to be socialising and eating around the bar. There is a lack of supervision of the waiting on staff, hence we purposefully left no tip. Sadly despite the food being good & the ambiance & decor being lovely, we will not visit again as the staff are so inattentive. Sadly despite Sadly despite
