Sul Lago in Oldham

Excellent family restaurant! Great tasting food! Massive choice of food. Friendly, attentive staff. Lovely welcoming and friendly atmosphere! Will definitely be returning!

My wife & I had a lovely Anniversary meal at Sul Lago. The food, service and ambiance is 5*. A lovely family run restaurant that has many repeat customers. Food is delicious. We would highly recommend. Affordable prices too which is always a positive. Thank You Aldo Amanda & staff.

Amazing food, great staff. Excellent.

Everything is outstanding about the place

Been going here for over 25 year, was their last night for the Mrs birthday and was amazing, food and reception amazing as always. Most of us had the Fillet steak medallions, 😋 amazing again and the service too. See you sson

Very busy night great service Linguini Ciro what a dish. Sea food with monk fish a must try. Going back next week with work. Can’t wait

Disappointed as this is a local restaurant to us, but it was very average food at expensive prices. Steak was bland , lobster ravioli overly fishy tasting. No atmosphere and decor needs updating.

Excellent Italian Restaurant-food was delicious and great prices--highly recommended 👌

First time and will not return! Not very attentive staff food over priced and calamari's are defo not fresh but frozen! Ding ding food! Not authentic Italian at all! Sorry

Wow. Just wow. I was blown away by the food and the atmosphere. Perfect for all types of dates and events.

Great food and friendly service. Arrived as part of a large group but the staff had it all in hand. 🌟

Really lovely, great food, friendly staff

Great food, have been a lot over the years and the quality has never dropped. Great service and good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience! The food is delicious and service is excellent, the staff really looks after you and you will feel in a warm and relaxed atmosphere! Definitely recommend!

The place is very nice. 3 star because of the fresh mussels starter at £10.95 it waz a disappointment. I was expecting for a fresh mussels not a green frozen mussels that is rubbery. I have mentioned this to the staff who collected the starter plate. I have attached the photo. Main course was good.

Sat 15th June we Attended with 2 families to celebrate two birthdays & Father’s Day, upon arrival staff were pleasant but then on being sat at the table it went downhill. I asked if the bill could be split (due to there being two parties and some weren’t drinking alcohol) and the waiter sternly replied “no”. There was an awkward silence due to the way he replied and realising he wasn’t joking I nervously acknowledged and asked if he was joking? The reply was again stern, “we are busy so not splitting bills”. He appeared rude and the restaurant wasn’t ‘that’ busy! (I’ve been in far busier and been served & treated better) There were 6 of us dining, 5 starters were ordered and 4 came together, the other one was obviously forgotten as we had to ask. When the main meals came out, one of our party asked for a spoon and it was promptly thrown on the table. We were only asked once if anyone wanted a drink throughout our time spent there, and it felt as if we weren’t welcome. The bill was placed on the table and we had not even asked for it….it wasn’t even late either! Very disappointing as this is supposed to be a renowned restaurant and we had travelled some distance.

Excellent place. Everything is perfect, the food, the atmosphere and the prices I recommend it 100%

Really nice great food and staff. Can't wait to go.again

Good service Low price Beautiful place I love it

Was a lovely meal went there for my birthday, cocktails were lovely, had the paradise linguine and tiramiso, and definitely in my top 10. Staff were lovely and friendly, highly recommended 👌

This place is a real gem beautiful location wonderful cozy atmosphere super friendly and helpful staff and the food was excellent anyone that enjoys Italian food this place will be your new favourite highly recommend

Fantastic place with really nice food

Fantastic food. Staff are amazing

Somewhat disappointed this time round, average food, slovenly service.

We had a birthday party for 65 people in the private room upstairs in Su Lago the staff were very helpful, food delicious and great service we thoroughly enjoyed it a big thank you to Aldo and all the staff. 😊

The Gluten free chessey Garlic bread is amazing , & the gf arrabiata pasta is by far the best I've tasted As always the service & food was amazing .

The food was great. The service was OK but not outstanding. The whole place was a little noisy for our tastes.

Lovely restaurant, amazing food

Once again everyone in our party had a superb meal. From the minute you walk in the door till you part company everyone is made to feel most welcome - a proper family gathering!

Great food just felt rushed at the end like they couldn't wait to get you out .

Just the best, with on site parking and view of the lake.

Group of 15 friends, enjoyed a good meal together, food was good and service was pretty quick, Atmosphere was enjoyable without being too loud overall 9/10 will definitely be coming back.

#RecommendedbySollyDj. This review is by an Indian guy who loves spicy food but can mange to eat and enjoy all kinds of food. Went with a group of 8 on 01/12/2023. 1. Food was really good. 2. Good selection of drinks 3. Service was very good and the waiters knew their menu and made good recommendations. 4. Loved the desserts. 5. Wine tasted good because the rooms were maintained warm despite -4 degrees outside. I would recommend the steak with peppercorn sauce. The pastries in the desserts was lovely. My colleague said that the Ferraro Roche was better than sex and mind you.. she is Italian. The lemon dessert is for you if you don’t like it too sweet. Location feels remote and slow down and find the parking which is ample.

Lovely restaurant and most staff welcoming and friendly. The garlic bread was tasty but the risotto was bland. The Parmesan cheese didn’t add anything to the flavour. Shame as the dish is quite expensive. Portion size was great, it just lacked flavour. Wouldn’t go again but I’d say try it if you’ve never been before.

Amazing food. Great place to eat.

Lovely food, service excellent.

Have always had previously positive experiences here, but felt let down this time. Had reserved a table for 6 and we were seated at a table set for 5 and squashed in a corner. Not great start, asked to move tables, waiter 1 was brilliant and went to look what they had. Waiter 2 came with menus we explained and he gave us what can only be described as a dirty look and said they had nothing, just as waiter 1 returned and moved us to a much nicer table. Small errors continued with one of the party not being served vegetables we had to ask. The food was spot on as always though. All staff where with the one exception were friendly and professional. Overall a little pricier than we recall but nice treat.

Very disappointed because the restaurant decor and ambiance is good but the menu and the food when it arrived is not worth the vibe. Also one staff member came across not very professional

First time at Sul Lago. Looking forward to a return visit soon. With thanks. M. Tiani.

First visit and we loved it. The food was excellent, the service was excellent., lovely sized restaurant with the right atmosphere. If I had to critisize anything I’d say the service was little too quick not much time to rest between courses, but it’s busy they’ll want to maximise the tables Will we visit again? 100%

Unfortunately, I thought this was one of the last few establishments in this town that kept the so called drug dealing, porn star martini drinking, diagonal man purse wearing, late 20s / early 30’s gangster ‘want-to-Be’s’ that talk in strange made up accents, OUT. They constantly used the word Cu*t, they were spitting yes!!! Spitting and Grebbing (there no other word to describe it ) from their table over the balcony whilst me and my girlfriend were trying to enjoy a lovely, expensive (it’s not the money that’s the issue here just to be clear) dinner, with a table of respecting old ladies on one side of this group and a family with young children on the other. I had to be asked to be moved inside away from them but unfortunately the other customers were too polite and had to eat their meals with this disgusting behaviour. It’s a shame as I have eaten here many times in the past and have spent a lot of money here but I will never step foot in the door again. It’s sad how a minority of ill mannered, uncouth clientele can ruin an evening for everyone else. Very disappointed to say the least. This is the first time I’ve ever left a review i eat out most nights, and this was just simply disgusting…….

Service food and atmosphere was perfect. My first time here but for sure not the last.

Food was nice but greasy been to much nicer Italians

We visit here fairly often, as we live locally but we have recently had two disappointing experiences that means we wont be returning. On a previous visit I had the seafood pasta which has been my go to dish but on this occasion it arrived dripping in oil. When I mentioned this to waiter I was told that this is how the dish is. But having had this this dish on several occasions I knew that wasn’t the case but I wasn’t offered an alternative and pretty much was told tough luck. However Our meal tonight has driven me to write a review which I wouldn’t normally do. My husband ordered the meatball pasta and within a few bites he said the meat didn’t taste very fresh. We all tried it and it tasted and smelt like it was well past its use by date. We told the lovely waitress and she said she would take it back to the kitchen. But no one returned to talk to us nor was an apology given. The table was cleared and the bill arrived. The male ‘Italian’ waiter was actually very rude when we were paying. Although The meal with the bad meat was taken off the bill I’m disappointed that an apology wasn’t given or reflected further in the bill. sulargos served sub- standard food tonight and their customer service approach to resolving this was extremely poor.

Had really high expectations as we were recommended by a colleague but service was poor from the outset, quite careless with cutlery. Then when my partner ordered a steak the sides were all dropped to the side. The pasta I had Rigatoni Dapice was extremely greasy, I had to move my pasta to one side for it to be edible, and there was a whole layer of grease on top. Prices are premium but the food and service most definitely isn’t. Took ages for the card machine to come when we were ready to pay. Wish we would have taken pictures to show everyone but was such a disappointing experience we just wanted to leave asap. Am under the impression this is a popular place in Oldham but I guess anyone who has had authentic Italian food would regconize this restaurant couldn’t be any further from that.

The service was bad, the waitress just threw the cutlery wildly and when serving the potatoes he dropped some on the table. The food itself was mediocre and it was expensive. We had to ask several times for the bill and the waitress kept forgetting about it. Overall very disappointed never going back. Not recommended at all as not worth your time or money.

Lovely evening, food service and ambiance was fab and was spoilt for choice with the menu, can’t wait to return

Exceptionally good food 😍 we will definitely be back!

Been here quite a few times over past couple of years. Place is always extremely busy and a really good vibe. Food has always been excellent and really good taste. I'd say its slightly on the expensive side compared to other Italians however still a good menu. Feel the only slight thing that let's this place down is the staff can be quite abrupt and make you feel rushed and can sometimes seem as if they not interested. However on the whole good. Will go again but will try different one first unless it's an invited occasion. Car park is large and has over flow altho can get quite full. I'd always recommend booking in advance.

Came again for a meal on Saturday night. As always, great staff, great atmosphere and food and reasonable priced 😄

Attentive staff and great food.

A lovely restaurant and the food was amazing but our only complaint was that the tables are too close together! We booked in at 7pm and it was quite relaxed with guests spread out, nice background music and the ability to communicate across our table. By 8pm the restaurant was so full and that loud we couldn't hear each other across the table! This really took the enjoyment away from an otherwise enjoyable experience. If we came back we would certainly book an earlier slot or risk a later one hoping its calmed down again

We arrived at 5pm as agreed , we ordered a pizza starter between us 1st class Racing downhill now , I ordered fillet steak with a Barolo sauce . It came paper thin no way it weighed 8oz and was burnt , the veg was pathetic. Potatoes that looked like chips I got 4 of them My partner had the chicken breast in sauce , it was stringy cold an horrific taste We told the waiter who’s response was “ would you like a sweet “ WIDE BERTH FROM NOW ON

We love everything about this place, great food, great service, and wonderful people.

Been Visiting Sul Lago for years and despite the arrogance of the owner (male), who thinks he's doing you a favour for allowing you to be eating there, have had many an enjoyable time there. However, on our recent visit, we arrived approx 30 mins prior to our reservation and, as we have done in the past, sat down for pre meal drinks in the bar. For the full 30 mins, a male member of staff continued to stare at my wife and I, almost forcing the fact that he wanted us to take our seat at our table. It even got to the point where he walked to our table, grabbed our glasses and started to walk away to the dining area before I told him we weren't booked in for another 10 minutes and we'd like to finish our drinks. The food, was, as always, very good, however, it was fast food. Starters, were quickly followed by mains and the meal was done within 45 mins. Sometimes a change is as good as a rest. Something that would help us keeping the boss man away from the dining room, his arrogance is infuriating.

Absolutely fantastic, food amazing, service amazing, everything amazing well done to all the staff for your service .

Food great, drinks quite pricey.

Visited with my friends, excellent food and service was amazing we sat in the balcony with a beautiful view of the lake! Will definitely be back !!!

I'm afraid this place is all fur coat and no knickers. We visited recently for my brothers birthday. We ordered drinks at the bar and chatted with the barman a bit, before being seated. Everyone ordered starters apart from two of us as we wanted to save room for desert, everyone who ordered enjoyed their starters; unfortunately, the night was all down hill from there. For main I ordered the filet steak in black pepper, cream and brandy sauce - medium rare. The steak came medium-well and the sauce was mediocre at best, I'd say the quality is close to what I'd expect at Wetherspoons. My partner ordered the creamy linguine with king prawns, crab claw meat, garlic and lemon juice, it was also mediocre, the pasta was a bit too "al dente" and the dish wasn't exactly popping with flavour. The wait staff passed us many times as we sat with empty glasses, I asked one of that waiters for a glass of lemonade which never arrived, I had to prompt the wait staff myself (again) to get another round of drinks for the table, including a £6 bottle of wine marked up at 500% (we looked it up). For desert I ordered the melt-in-the-middle fondant flambeed in Sambuca, the dish was delivered to the table by some guy who decided it was a good idea to play with my food for five minutes before I was permitted to dig in, he poured over and flambeed the Sambuca and stirred it into the sauce for me, a very pretentious and unnecessary show. What I can only assume to have been a Heinz chocolate fondant had been microwaved for a tad too long, as it was not melt-in-the-middle at all. The anise flavour of the Sambuca did not compliment the chocolate sauce at all, as I had suspected, but figured I'd give it a go anyway. I contemplated not leaving a tip by my partner forced me to leave one, so I begrudgingly left a small tip of around £13. The view was lovely.

Absolutely fabulous restraunt with a very extensive menu

Had a lovely birthday meal with my husband and two friends. The restaurant was very busy, but the service was first class. The food was delicious and the staff attentive. Thank you Amanda and Aldo.

What a beautiful venue, huge glass frontage overlooking the picturesque waterfront. Great photo opportunities both inside and outside. The food was fantastic, I’d recommend the lamb cutlets as there was plenty of lamb on the bones. It was so impressive that we returned from our hotel for breakfast. A huge Full English with the best fresh orange - freshly squeezed. I’ll be returning when I’m next in the area.

Heard great reviews about here and thought we’d try, we got stuffed in a corner and were pretty much overlooked unless we got their attention. Wine was nice, garlic bread with cheese and tomato wasn’t sliced and very sloppy so tearing it to eat it was messy and difficult. I wanted to get someone’s attention to cut it but it would have gone cold so muddled on. Ribs next. Just full of fat and bone, Hardly any meat. Lasagna was however very nice. Wife had Arriabata and also enjoyed that. Definitely room for improvement but still may be a while before revisit. Too many staff over caring for what appeared to be regulars and friends. Not good enough

Staff attentive and friendly but the food wasn’t great. The starters were nice but we had chicken in red wine sauce and it was tough and the meatball pasta was dry and a small portion. The veggies were nice but the fries / potatoes- not sure what they were - were tasteless. We wont return. It was pricey for a local ie not city centre - restaurant

Food is good and it's a nice place

lovely place, i have been meaning to visit here for a while now the food was beautiful and the service is good. if you want Italian food this is the place to go

Really love coming to Sul Lago. The food is amazing and so is the service. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended! The menu selection was vast and everything we ordered was delicious. Lovely ambiance and reasonably priced for such devine food. Wish we had room for dessert but maybe next time! Booked for 4pm on Easter Sunday for 4 adults and 2 children aged 1.5 and 5.

Four of us visited here on a Friday evening. We had booked a reservation in advance and we were shown to our table immediately upon arrival. Our waiters were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Our first course was served in good time and the food was excellent. They left a reasonable amount of time between courses, we weren't rushed and we asked for the bill. I have been to a few restaurants that obviously want to turn over the tables and therefore rush customers through. The restaurant was clean and bright. I will definitely eat here again and recommend it to friends and family.

This is the best italian restaurant in the area. The service is fab and the food. Most of the staff have been there a long time which shows they are treated right. One of the staff members stands out, Claire she is super friendly and fantastic at her job, thank you for always making us feel welcome.

Love the food...the cocktails ... everything...I go 1 a month love it there ❤️

Been coming here for a very long time, never had anything but amazing food

Beautiful food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly restaurant with lovely food. Our family have been visiting over many years and it’s always a pleasure to visit. New specials menu is good especially the new Ravioli with Italian broccoli and white wine and cheese sauce. Delicious food. Thank you.

Very nice restaurant, but very busy, think it was a full house! Staff still attentive and helpful, food was good, but have had better calamari. Would visit again, when quieter.

Immoral price of a kids drink - £4.50 for a fanta! location parking and setting all good, food was nice but to charge £4.50 for a kids drink should be criminal.

Fantastic food and excellent service

Absolutely amazing place. The service was top notch and the food was incredible. We're already planning when to go back

Once again fantastic food and excellent service 👌. Staff excellent. Very good value for money 💰 would recommend a visit to all

The restaurant was absolutely picturesque the food was amazing and the staff were friendly and accommodating,will definitely go again maybe next time as a date rather than family meal, although it was child friendly in a sense.

Very welcoming..staff friendly..garlic cheese and tomato bread the patty tasty...meatballs and cabanarra also enjoyable

We went as a group of 8, the food was lovely, the steak was the best steak my husband has ever had.

Gone down hill- food was average- like packet food not cooked fresh. Full of chavs in tracksuits.

Such a nice place and lovely food. Perfect.

A wonderful evening celebrating my birthday with friends eating exceptional food in a lovely surrounding and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A true Italian restaurant with a proper warm welcome and great service .

Amazing, went for my wife's birthday, service was great and food was fantastic, would definitely recommend!!

Always a warm friendly place with good staff to see to your needs.

A very enjoyable visit. Food was excellent but very busy, Friday evening, and service was slower than usual.

Never been before, don't know why when it's on our doorstep, but will definitely be going again. Lovely friendky restaurant, excellent food and excellent service from start to finish.

Fabulous food and service. I live only fifteen minutes away.

Excellent service, good food very busy Will definitely go again good choice on menu We did find the background music quite loud, made the restaurant noisy.

Went here last night with friends very busy food was excellent and service was excellent probably the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time will definitely recommend and use again 👍🏻

Although the food was exceptional, the main meal came far too quickly as we hadn’t even finished our starter! And we were given the impression of being rushed too. Some of the staff didn’t seem too happy either

Very pricey expected large prawns for the price there was more shell than prawn

A very nice Italian restaurant. Good food and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Delicious food with a great atmosphere

Stunning Food in a Great Location with very Professional and Attentive Staff 5 Stars , will be going again Soon 👍

Gorgeous place, amazing food and welcoming staff love this place

First visit and not disappointed. Service brilliant, food and drink remarkably fantastic, all areas wonderfully clean, can't fault it. 5 stars from me.

Absolutely beautiful great atmosphere and food was amazing

Lovely sunny evening on the back terrace. Service was excellent as was the food ! Not been here for years, and I was glad I returned.
