San Rocco in Oldham

Disappointed is an understatement.Totally underwhelmed by the poor service we received. Ordered drinks,which arrived without the lime we requested,then starters arrived which were miniscule portions.I was given the pate without the onion chutney as they forgot,but no apology ,just shrugged it off.We then ordered another drink,no lime again and no gin glass as I'd asked for one! They just didn't listen which was so frustrating. On paying the extortionate bill I then noticed we'd been charged a different price for drinks that was advertised.. Felt conned! Fed up and won't be returning which is a shame as we've been going for years.

Lovely place, great tasty food loads of parking and large portions. Fruit flies were a pain but I guess it's that time of year. Will be going again soon

Our go to Italian! The staff are amazing. Food is delicious and a great price.

The food here is great. I have enjoyed it every time I have been. Unfortunately the service seems to be hit and miss. The staff are all pleasant but they are so busy, they don't have time to look after the customers properly. We booked a table for my birthday, waited over half an hour to get our table. Waited another 20 minutes to get our drinks. Then we waited 50 minutes between our starter and main course and we only got 2 of the main courses, the third was another 20 minutes later. I don't blame the staff as they are rushed off their feet, but I do blame the management for over booking and not having enough staff to properly look after customers. That said, the food is good.

Called in Sunday afternoon great food and service friendly welcoming waiters

Food was amazing, lovely atmosphere and polite welcoming staff

Food was dry, was very dark inside and not very well lit, portions weren’t great and staff seemed too busy chit chatting. Only one doing her job was the young girl on the bar and I had to stop and ask if she was ok due to the way the older Chinese bar woman was speaking to her, she was clearly young and flustered and wasn’t nice to see. Won’t be returning.

Delicious food, excellent service. Highly recommend 👌

Sadly the service charge appeared I don't like this I want to leave a tip that I want to leave. I also felt that our glasses were taken whistle the children were still eating and we all felt that we were being pushed out

This is my favourite resteraunt out of the many i have tried and the food oh my god it is amazing the vegetarian options are also great my girlfriend is vegetarian and she also loved the food. Price is reasonable too.

A nearly Empty restaurant.. No problem, being seated next to a table of 10 adults, 2 kids and a screaming baby.. A big problem when they could have sat us anywhere else, Couldn't even hear the background music for the noise. Place needs a bit of TLC as well, Extractor above head in restaurant very dusty, door in toilet doesn't lock, cutlery tired and scratched. Shame as the service and food was excellent

Treat from my mum, ordered lamb Ragu....awful, pasta sauce with some inedible meat and fat thrown in, same sauce that came with a chicken dish, told waiter it was awful, thought I was joking even though there were uneaten chunks of meat on the plate. Was then told it had been cooked for 4 hours...laughable, offered me one free pudding which my son had....cheesecake with a nice sloppy base...awful. I don't normally write bad reviews but when people insult your intelligence I think the honest truth is the best policy, hope I just got you guys on an off day but I don't think so.

Beautiful Italian food here. The restaurant is super cosy and has a really nice vibe too. Staff are friendly and attentive and the price was fair too. Highly recommend

We ate here for the 1st time today. The restaurant is super welcoming and homely. The staff welcomed us and very attentive and professional. We ordered the pate and the mushrooms to start and it was beautiful. We had the carne pizza and a cheese pasta for mains. Absolutely delightful. Definitely worth a visit you won’t be disappointed

My daughter got married here on Friday. Everything went perfectly. Food was good I had steak so tender. Waiters were lovely and the children were happy Playing outside.

Went at lunchtime, the place was virtually empty, so no atmosphere. The food was good and arrived hot in good time. Also the service was good.

Booked for a meal at 7. Lovely place with great atmosphere. Food looked smelled and tasted fantastic. Highly recommended We will definitely be going back.

Lovely restaurant, fantastic food and great staff

Great food and service , will come again

Needed a restaurant to accommodate 6 adults and 6 children at short notice early one Friday evening following a family gathering. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. If you’re looking for great value, delicious Italian food and old fashioned (friendly and attentive) service, look no further.

Decent food although roast potatoes were hard on this occasion .will visit again

What an amazing place! Food is always amazing. Staff are so friendly and amazing.

Great little Italian food great staff are great lovely inside aswell worth a visit

Overall really nice restaurant. We had the pate starter and although tasty, the texture was a bit dry. Would recommend the salmon, really tasty and the sauce was delicious. My husband had the fillet steak which was also good.Cocktail menu a little limited and overpriced in my opinion, however the staff are friendly and service was good with a nice atmosphere. They do add a 10.percent service charge to the bill, we paid it as the service was great but I do feel you should be informed of this before hand so you can choose if you want to leave a tip

Best Italian in northern England

We Went to celebrate my grandson's birthday The staff were fantastic The food was really good I would recommend

Food is top notch service was very fast staff are good..will defi visit again.

Pasta portions are very small. Considering that most profit is made on pasta in restaurant, one would expect decent portion for an adult.

Spent my youth here when it was the Red Barn and a carvery. Food was really nice and the service was great, really worth a visit.

What a beautiful evening we have just had at San Rocco! I searched high and low for an authentic Italian restaurant in the Middleton/Oldham area and I have found an absolute gem. The staff, the food, the atmosphere absolutely spot on. The food was served within 10-15 minutes of ordering (and we ordered all sorts - 8 of us). I had the filetto which was absolutely divine. 10/10 on all categories, really really happy and cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant. Fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scaled, bought-in catering. Find no pleasure in discrediting local businesses, but I’ve been disappointed three times in a row and am likely not to return. I’ve explored the menu over three visits; two of my dishes I’d put money on being frozen/vac packed and reheated, three compromising of identical components I’d suggest were falsely described. Lobster ravioli is simply terrible and sold at a premium. Tonight I had ‘slow cooked lamb ragu pappardelle’ that I’d put money on being the same bolognese used in all other dishes. It was mince meat, and not slow cooked… you can tell the difference when it’s done low and slow vs a generic, reheated raw tomato sauce. Other dishes have also been a let down. I’d advise sticking with pizzas and tiramisu, as you can tell they are done in house and relatively well. Also the Sunday lunch option is pretty good, and you can’t complaint at the quality for cost on the set lunch menu. Service ok, if not a little curt, but I’d put that down to personality over a standards issue. Stick to Sunday lunch and pizzas. They should abandon the poorly done Italian classics. Running a reduced, better quality menu wouldn’t leave me regretting paying an over the odds bill.

Italian restaurant, the food quality is very good and worth tasting, the environment is nice, and there is free parking.

Ripped off never again, Service charge what's all that about, should be ashamed of yourself. I'm surprised you didn't charge for parking

Delicious food. Atmospheric decor. Nice service. A nice place for a family meeting or dating. 😊

70th birthday dinner. Staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Fast efficient service despite there being 20+ people in our party.

Fabulous food. Amazing service. Gave 4 for atmosphere only because it was a bit cold where we were sat. Definitely going to go again. I had lamb an it was gorgeous.

Lovely evening staff couldn't do enough and food was spot on everything come out for our large party together and piping hot went above and beyond will definitely be returning

We picked this restaurant for our son’s birthday celebration. The staff were polite and friendly. Very cold inside the downstairs part of the restaurant- food was good, everyone enjoyed their meal only issue is portions are quite small. The waitress who served our table was lovely.

We came here for a meal on Valentines Day and despite the restaurant being full, we got seated straight away as we had made a booking, which is always advisable anyway. The drinks order was taken as we got seated & the food order was taken not long after. Despite it obviously being one of the busiest nights, our 3 courses all came in good time with no long waits and each course was very good. The only negative was that we ordered our Fillets medium and they were more towards the well done stage! This wouldn't have happened at Bellavista The atmosphere is very nice and even with a full restaurant we could still hold a conversation across the table 😀 We will definitely return

Lovely atmosphere staff are always friendly cannot do enough for you they always go above and beyond. Food is always amazing never had a complaint!!

Genuinely the worst meal we have ever had and was no surprise we could get a table for 12 people straight away. Atmosphere is absolutely awful through out. Ordered chicken with parm and chips brought me out RAW the server even checked the food and told me not to eat it as it was raw , sent this back to the kitchen no apology. My partner ordered salmon linguine through out the whole dish there were 4 tiny peace’s of salmon we asked the server if this is how it’s mean to come she agreed it’s not correct & brought the manager out. Another sever when we sent the food back was shouting near the steps up to the second floor and waving his arms round at us sending the food back. The bill came and they still tried to charge for the raw chicken we had sent back to the kitchen. We questioned another item on the bill and as it was a bottle of wine and we did not recognise the name was told by the lady behind the bar “nice try “ when we asked to take the service charge off and advised we would rather tip the lady that served us we were told the tip is to go behind the bar to be split across the rest of the staff who did not serve us. We were also advised to leave a review after my partner said he did not want to as it would not be a good one he was advised to still leave it as there having lots of issues with the kitchen I would never step foot back in this place

I made a last minute booking for 11 covers at San Rocco this Sunday. The service and venue were both great. Sadly, I won’t be returning due to the food. One of the ladies in the group ordered the Parma ham wrapped chicken, which was still raw in the centre. She unfortunately ate some of the chicken before realising. We also ordered the salmon linguine. Usually in a salmon linguine at a customer would get 60-100% of a salmon fillet. Instead there was 2-3 1cm slithers of salmon. The pizzas were okay and the other pasta dishes seemed to be okay too. We only stayed due to the nice atmosphere and good service from the front of house. The kitchen really needs a reshuffle, because raw chicken is unacceptable and shouldn’t be ingested.

Food is delicious staff are so friendly and make your evening even better the proper Italian experience

Nice food, nice place, decent prices...

Arrived early 5.30 pm so not busy, food was delivered fast, garlic tomato bread for starters very nice, 1 chicken and mushrooms in sauce nice, 1 chicken pasta small amount of chicken and a little dry, a bit more juice needed, staff friendly. Would visit again

Food is terrible king prawns never seen King prawn and portions sizes well to small what you pay for it

Good food in really nice restaurant, worth to visit

The food was excellent (fillet steak with peppercorn sauce for me, lamb shank for hubby). Deserts were amazing. Service was superb. It was early so not too busy, but a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Very friendly staff and great service

Good service and friendly staff. The only downside was my wife's sea bass being overcooked which made it too dry. Mine was fine but the fillets were bigger.

We had the Christmas Spwcial Menu. Meal was lovely. Staff very friendly & looked after us very well

We all had a Going evening I'm cialeac So can't have gluten they looked after me Lovely meal

Sorry to say food wasn't good I had seabass skin was burnt ,over cooked ,husband had a ribeye steak asked for medium got a well done one and was dry ,on the good point service was good.

Service was slightly erratic, but, there was 26 of us. We had fillet steak and it was perfect

Amazing food great service and good prices ever time I come here

The food was average at best. The service was okay, but what really did the damage was when we said we didn't want to pay the 10% assumed gratuity charge. I personally feel that tipping is a luxury and a courtesy from customer to staff. Their wages get paid like the rest of us. Simple as. When we paid everything around the gratuity fee, we were asked why we hadn't paid the remaining said gratuity fee and "why? Was there anything wrong with the meal/service?", asked the gentleman. I responded with words to the effect of "I'm skint". He proceeded to turn his back in a mood, not say anything and walk off. Arrogant as f if you ask me. If we wish to tip you, it's our place to do so, not your right. I won't be going there again.

Good food, great service, drinks a little expensive.

Fantastic service always and completely really great food to have. Everyone enjoy yourself and treat yourself to pleasure.

Love it here our third visit We went with our son on a Sunday evening. Although there was a noisey party on the next table we enjoyed our food immensely and will be back

I came in yesterday evening, the food was alright. The table staff that served us was fantastic, but the atmosphere took a turn when some sort of argument started happening in the kitchen. Some guy with a hat and glasses was shouting and swearing a lot, coming in and out of the kitchen area and into the service area. Not sure if this is a regular occurrence but I won't be returning to find out.

Really nice service, really nice food and really good value for money. Fully recommend

first time visiting here and loved the lay out of the restaurant , the service was excellent. The meal was ok and other family members enjoyed theirs so think it just crossing the right meal for me. Definitely recommend. We went on a Thursday

Delicious food,friendly staff, and beautiful interior!Highly recommended 👌

Been a few times, cozy restaurant with amiable staff. The food is excellent, had a tomahawk steak which came with five different sauces last time, one of the best I have ever had. Reasonably priced too, so will keep coming back!

Not brilliant, the food was only ok, very quick service so doesn't appear to be made freshly ☹️. Staff morale seemed quite low.. I wouldn't visit again.

An amazing evening. My parents 60th wedding anniversary. 12 adult 3 kids. Food beautiful, service brilliant, price amazing. A perfect evening. Thank you for making my parents anniversary even more special. 5* +++++

Lovely food, nicely priced, service was amazing and accommodating to my mum who's disabled! Would return again when in the area!

Attended for a birthday meal in October another more recently and honestly the food was not great. I have also attended this establishment just for drinks on occasions with family and to be honest it's not a place I would recommend now to take children, actually I would not recommend this place at all as recent happenings as in today watching a woman get slapped by a rowdy stranger left me sickened beyond belief and staff there did what?....Nothing

Just moved local and thought we would give it a try for tea Tues night, on booking i did see the earlybird offer which was a possibility, when we arrived we were greated and seated by a nice happy guy, menu on the table was only the main one, the staff did show us the specials board that my partner ordered from, but i had to give my order and specify its the earlybird menu, didnt feel comfortable speaking out as it wasnt offered to us at any point(but why pay more for the same dishes i was ordering) ..anyway moving on the staff 2 italian lads were very on the ball & very polite and the food quality was so fulfilling, we were already planning a regular mid week tea here, its been a longtime since wev both enjoyed an italian meal out and the bill was a pleasure to pay £66 for 4 alcohol drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains, g cheese bread, £6 service charge - grateful as we always tip Cant wait to come back with the family and try more dishes Elaine & Neil

Food was excellent, I had a glass of Malbec to go with it that was excellent too.

Such a lovely restaurant, great ambience & food, beautiful setting too

Lovely food and great service. The Smoked Salmon & Prawn Salad starter of the specials board was lovely as was the Rigatoni San Rocco. My dad had the Lamb Shank which was really nice and so tender that he never used his knife as the most just fell off the bone.

Had the lunchtime menu which had some great choices. Staff are friendly and efficient. I had lasagna followed by a trio of delicious icecream. My son had the sea bass, followed by chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream. All the food we had was well presented and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant, which is housed in a fabulous building with some lovely quirky features. Be perfect for family get-togethers.

Food was amazing,service was great no complaints.

Even though we had not prebooked, we were seated as soon we walked in. Staff were ok, but the food was bloody awful. I think the only thing that may have been fresh was the salad and the tiramsu(but that was ruined by the horrid cheap bottled chocolate sauce). They then had the audacity to be annoyed when we pointed out that there was an error on the bill (an extra drink) an we wouldn't be paying it until it had been sorted. Will never step inside this place again

OK restaurant with professional staff, tasty food, great wine selection.

Brilliant place to eat. Friendly staff, excellent service and good food. Would definitely recommend 👌

Lovely food served by friendly staff

Welcoming ,pleasant staff. The menu is reasonably comprehensive without being too ambitious. I asked for a dish not on the menu and the waiter did not bat an eyelid, and, the dish was prepared expertly. Prices are reasonable, staff are attentive without being cloying. Overall a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

By far one of the best places I’ve been in the area, delicious authentic food, lovely caring staff and the most helpful management, if you are after good food and Italian standard service highly recommend. We asked for some food for the baby and manager immediately gave us a solution of what you can feed a 9month old baby on diversification even though their kids menu is designed for kids of older aga. Thanks very much and will definitely be back even though it’s not as close to our house as I would normally consider returning to.

Lovely restaurant, starters are good portions , food excellent, staff friendly

I love that place, good food and friendly environment, suggest to try with family.

Lovely food good night for my friends 25th wedding anniversary 💕

Food was excellent very tasty the service was brilliant too definitely go again

Ordered parmigiana chicken partner had already taken two bites when we noticed it was raw chicken they had served us, their excuse was because it was cooked in foil, no matter what they did for us after that it is no excuse for serving someone raw chicken

Midweek evening meal with family. Pleasant friendly efficient staff, excellent food, not small portions! Had a goody bag to take home. (Always a bonus) thank you 😊

Delicious food, fantastic Staff, atmosphere and location top

Absolutely delicious food. Great service too. Not too expensive either. Will definitely be back :D

Decent pizza and a nice environment up the stairs.

On a visit to the area after a 3 hour journey we thought we would try the San Rocco … From the moment we arrived everything was perfect … Our waiter was absolutely first class and outstanding, nothing was to much trouble . He took his time helping my mother with her mobility issues . He was completely knowledgeable about the menu and Italian food & drink etc . The Food was exceptional and reasonably priced . Must add the Profiteroles were definitely my little bit of heaven … There is ample car parking spaces . Highly recommend and will 100% will visit again when back visiting Manchester family .

Excellent Italian food well presented and served by friendly staff. Recommended

4 meals ordered 3 went back absolutely disgusting not cooked and cold 😤

Beautiful place, highly recommend the ribs, all the staff are lovely and friendly ☺️ We came here for my mum's 70th and the staff were all amazing, really made my mum's birthday, can't thank them all enough.

Has the early starter menu, food was very good and service efficient

Probably the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Burnt chicken, under cooked calzone and I was told the oven wasn't working properly. Ruined my celebration and evening. I definitely won't be going back.

Birthday celebration last night at San Rocco, Chadderton. The food and the service was excellent. An absolutely perfect night. Donato and his team could not have been more helpful or attentive, nothing was too much trouble. We were a party of 20 people. The service was seamless, the food delicious and everyone was served together, not easy with such a large group. Fresh tasty dishes, including Lobster Linguine, King Prawns and Rib Eye steaks all cooked to perfection AND great value for money. I honestly can’t praise them enough! I would not hesitate to recommend them for any celebration. Donato takes care of everything and ensures everyone has the best time.

Lovely restaurant, lovely food.Good service defineately pay a visit again.

First time we been there. The food is amazing delicious and the staff are great too I loved the manager, he is very friendly and funny. Thank you for treating us like family. I really felt home. I'll visit again for sure. I really loved it.

Pretty good for the area, but not amazing. Most of the food was lovely, but the spinach tasted like it had been frozen. If you order the garlic bread starters, watch out, they're enormous! It seemed a waste of food when we left half to leave room for our mains.

The food and service was fantastic
