Good Italian, not expected here in the small one. City. Food is great, service is also great. We were there with 7 people, reservation is better, the restaurant was very busy

Booked at table for 8pm but had to wait until 8.35 to be seated. Food was good however only ordered mains and never got the chance to order desserts despite waiting from the table being cleared at 10pm to 10.45 - we were never asked if the food was OK or if we wanted any desserts, the staff just started to clear tables around us so we paid the bill and left - extremely.poor customer service!!!

I hate when a restaurant claims it's authentically Italian and it's not. I don't expect much from a restaurant, just great food and value for the price I'm paying. This experience was below standard. It was around 5.30 pm when we arrived, the staff was around the entrance/bar area and the restaurant was empty (it was Saturday). One lady was lovely, warm and welcoming throughout. She had an Italian accent and she's the reason we've given 2 stars for the service. Too many red flags I'm afraid overall, we won't be coming back. 1. We've sat in the very corner of the restaurant and almost throughout our stay there was a strong tobacco odour coming through, we had no idea where it was coming from (the front door was open, so that could have been the reason). 2. We've ordered 2 water bottles and were given glasses with ice, lime and lemon, which would've been lovely, but there was an awful aftertaste while drinking, so we had to ask for new glasses. 3. I ordered minestrone soup and it's one of the easiest soups to make, but it was a tiny portion with al dente vegetables, tasted bland and loads of brocolli chunks swimming on the top. It was truly the worst minestrone soup I have ever eaten. 4. We also ordered pizzas that took forever to arrive. Once they arrived, they tasted ok, but the pizza base was like a dry dehydrated pan fried pancake with toppings on. I've never seen anything like it! If you know anything about gastronomy, Italy and if you're a food lover-it will be clear to you that the food in this restaurant isn't to a standard. In fact, Italians would be very ashamed with the lack of quality and taste. 5. Lastly, we weren't warned or told about we could potentially get a parking ticket if we don't fill out our registration plate number in. We had to find out ourselves once we went to the toilet, as a sign was put up on the toilet wall. 6. The staff seemed uninterested, chatting and standing around the restaurant. The price was too high for the quality and portion sizes and we left feeling frustrated and hungry. What a waste of money this experience was!

First time, it didn't disappoint. The food was very tasty, but a little bit expensive of taking the size of the portions into consideration. The service was good, but a bit slow, considering the restaurant wasn't full and we had to gradb the attention of the waiters to clean our table and order out deserts.

Must have got the staff on an off night judging by other reviews. Food was nice but Manchester prices. Staff were blunt and rather cold apart from the cheery guy on reception. Was a Thursday night so not packed. Maybe why the atmosphere was non existent

This place is family run and really deserves recognition. If your considering trying out a new Italian give this place ago and support your local independents. You won’t be disappointed

Went in early Sunday evening with my wife a grandson, we were treated pleasantly and were all pleased with our various pasta dishes. Another point of interest for me, was a woman came up to me asking questions about myself for a couple of minutes assuming I was a member of Romani’s staff. It turned out she meant the owner. I told him as we left; we both laughed reflectively. Great place.

If you're in the mood for some amazing Italian food, look no further than Romano's in Longton! This cozy little restaurant is a hidden gem that is sure to satisfy your cravings for delicious pizza and pasta. As soon as you step inside, you'll feel right at home with the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is tastefully done, with beautiful murals and traditional Italian accents throughout the restaurant. Now let's talk about the food - it's simply amazing. The pizza here is hands down the best in the area. Each pizza is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection in their wood-fired oven. You can really taste the love and care that goes into each pizza, and there are plenty of toppings to choose from to create your perfect pie. But the pizza is not the only star of the show here. The pasta dishes are equally delicious and flavorful. The seafood pasta that your girlfriend had was absolutely amazing - perfectly cooked pasta, flavorful sauce, and fresh seafood. You can tell that the chefs here really know what they're doing when it comes to Italian cuisine. Lastly, the service is fantastic. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to make recommendations or answer any questions. Overall, I can confidently say that Romano's is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious pizza and pasta. So, if you're in Longton and looking for some amazing Italian food, head over to Romano's - you won't be disappointed!

First time we've been, was very nice place, people and food. Reasonable prices. Would go back. 2years later. We have kept going and always enjoy it. Lovely food and staff always pleasant. Never had a bad experience and desserts are lovely. Took a wheelchair last night and it was still great and good disabled toilets. Staff listened to what we needed to be comfortable. 11/04/2023 Last time we went was last year as we are now finding the price’s expensive and have to keep it to special occasions. If there was a Tue-Thur set menu as an offer I would go more but with there not we have gone for a different restaurant to keep the cost down. I really enjoy when we go and the food is lovely.

Garlic bread was like a poppadom , the main and sweet was nice however we were rushed by staff to both eat up and drink up, glass taken away whilst still had some in. We were going to finish with coffee but gave it up as a bad job. We were even told people were waiting for the table. We left before our food had settled feeling rushed and safe to say none of us will be returning. Food itself ok but customer service bordered on rude. We want to eat and enjoy our food not be rushed like it was school canteen. Not for us.

We went on 23rd April and although i wanted a later time, they could only fit us in earlier at 6:30pm..Very friendly staff and polite, although they probably came over too much to ask about more drinks and desserts, if i want anything else I'll ask..The garlic bread with tomato was very tasty..Neither if us had alcohol but the lime and soda was nice.. GF had a salmon pasta dish that she loved, but for me it should have been a bigger portion.(too small) My main was a spicy sausage dish, very disappointed but i did eat it and at nearly £16 i think overpriced. Lets just say it had an unusual taste. May go again but not my 1st on list.

Sorry to say but I had a really poor experience here. The noise in the restaurant was overwhelming to start with. Maybe the wrong time to go as it was very busy. As a result service was slow, we had to ask to make our order three times before someone actually came to take it. So just shy of an hour to get our food order placed. Then I can't say the food made up for it. It is a shame as I had heard good things about the place.

Cheap and cheerful but expensive prices. Asked if someone can take our order after waiting 15 minutes and was told they weren't ready yet! Special starter £9 consisted of 5 prawns in a watery tasteless sauce on a bed of wet lettuce leaves and very poorly presented. £18 main of pork, again not well presented and still had string on it. £30 bottle of wine spilt down both glasses when poured by waiter. Very sloppy. Comparable prices to an expensive a la carte restaurant, yet food sub standard. Unfortunately will not be visiting again.

We went to this restaurant for my step sons 30th birthday .was the worst experience that I’ve ever had in a restaurant . The manager was the rudest man I’ve ever met in my like and has now customer service skills at all . Started with he would not add chicken to a dish This we accepted ,next up was can we have the garlic bread with our starters most people do not that he said and pulled his face . He then came with the starters and one was wrong we questioned him on this and started to shout he then removed the starter a came with the correct one the manager came to remove the finished dishes but was un happy when some was left he again started to shout . We all got up and left Beware

Absolutely appalled at the service we received tonight. A party of 12 for my husband's 30th birthday and we left before our mains even arrived. It started when we made a simple request to add chicken to a pasta dish to which we were told NO quite abruptly and told I cannot change his menu! I was baffled but accepted that he wasn't willing to add the chicken. Following this I had ordered a mushroom starter from the specials menu by showing the waiter the specials menu and pointing out the dish I wanted whilst requesting "please can I have the mushrooms from the specials menu". When the starter arrived it was the mushrooms from the main menu. I politely pointed out that I had asked for the mushrooms from the specials menu to which he argued that I had just said I wanted the mushrooms. I reminded him that I had pointed at the menu whilst ordering and he snatched my plate away and said he'd change them, which he did. The mushrooms arrived and weren't to my taste. He came to collect the plates and questioned why I hadn't eaten them so I explained that I just didn't like them as they weren't to my taste. He proceeded to shout at me questioning what was wrong with them and putting a menu in my face and pointing at me. By this point I just told him to take them away as I could feel myself shaking. I went outside to calm down and could hear him shouting, when I looked through the window he was shouting at my husband and then my mum who was sat next to my 91 year old grandad and my daughter who left in tears. He accused me of going to his venue to complain! On my husband's 30th birthday! I hadn't complained at any point throughout the evening. There was another waiter who apologised as did the chef which was appreciated. I have never been treated so badly whilst paying for a service and i am quite honestly still in shock. Needless to say, I would not recommend and will not be returning.

The food and service were below par. The special I had was borderline unpleasant. The calamari was bland and poorly presented. The coke was horrible draught stuff. The dessert was nice but clearly bought in. We were virtually ignored by the waiting staff who were joyless and abrupt. It's also expensive... I can get better food, drink, service and value for money at Prezzo. I won't be going back here.

Not gonna lie, it's not cheap here. But the menu is on the window, you know what to expect if you visit here price wise. My meal was £16.65 for a breakfast and a cup of tea. It was a large full English though, and the tea came in a pot, so it was enough for 2 cups. The quality of the food was exceptional. My only slight niggle was the beans were runny, not thick (you know when you always try to buy Heinz or Branston rather than own brand beans from the supermarket, you can tell the difference). But the sausages, black pudding, eggs, mushrooms were all high quality and cooked very well. Service was great, prompt and attentive and the food was cooked and served quickly. I was an early bird and first in at 0945 but by 10am it was already busy and to guarantee a table you should book in advance. Definitely would recommend trying here. If I was rich, I'd have breakfast here everyday.
