The Italian in Stockport

Never had a bad thing to say about this place. Staff are welcoming and the food is great. Always looking for an excuse to go here!

Without a doubt, the finest restaurant in romiley.

So where do I start went here for the first time well wow I'm arriving we walked in and the smile from the young lady if you would like to head upstairs the staff will look after you and take you to your table we were early went upstairs and the charming waiter said the people at your table are just paying if you would like to take a seat downstairs we will call you when ready with on 5 mins we were seated at our table we ordered our food starters and mains and the starters came 15 minutes later well the garlic mushrooms with blue cheese sauce was to die for the garlic bread and tomato based garlic bread the best I've had in years no wonder the the place is booming the chefs and waiting on staff make the place amazing everything was sensational until it came to paying which left me annoyed asked waiter if I could pay the owner/ manager over heard and said card machines here his next comment from the manager was you pay me he is just a waiter left me annoyed that waiter was amazing and my only thought how ignorant to say that you wouldn't be were you were now with out that waiter or the rest of the staff. Remember you look after your staff your staff will look after your customers .

Great food very quick service and nice atmosphere

Had a brilliant night with friends and fam

Great little restaurant! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed

Delicious freshly made dishes, always piping hot and super tasty. Relaxing and fun atmosphere. Best Italian for miles around!

Lovely staff, discounted prices on a Wednesday, great atmosphere as full of families and birthday parties. Generous portions, beautifully cooked and presented. Good beers and wines. A great Napoli restaurant!

I booked a few weeks in advance for my mum and dad on a Sat evening. They can get very busy!!! Mum and Dad (who are very hard to please and impress) said it was the best Italian meal they have had outside of Italy. Enjoyed the food, house wines and atmosphere. Well done The Italian - we will be back as family for sure.

Been on many occasions the food service and ambiance as always top class.

Impossible to beat, superb food, very good value for money, wonderful atmosphere and superb staff. Alex and the team never fail to deliver at The Italian in Romiley. Superb!

It was quite disappointing. I was recommended this place, and they have a massive section for gluten and vegan friendly options, so I was quite excited to try.. They didn't have any vegan cheese in stock, so I didn't have a pizza and opted for a pasta dish. The gluten-free pasta was really overcooked and just tasteless. As I can't have cream based dish, I had a tomato base dish, but it literally was just tomato sauce out the jar with some mushrooms and a few chicken pieces.

I have been going to the Italian for years .Lovely people and great service atmosphere and food.Can not fault it .Just make sure you book as it is really good and gets fully booked quickly .Will be seeing them all again soon

Amazing place, the service was outstanding and the food was beautiful. Will definitely be coming back

First visit and won’t be our last. Very impressed by the extensive menu which offers lots of GF options. All dishes were fantastic with great taste and cooked to perfection. Staff were knowledgeable and recommended a brilliant white wine for us. Only critique would be the ribs. Pretty fatty but brilliant flavour and very enjoyable

It's an authentic Italian restaurant, cool and lively atmosphere, delicious food, fast excellent service.

First time here but looking forward to going again top class.

The food was lovely, good menu to choose from. It was busy as usual which was a bit stifling on a hot evening. Well done to the staff, especially in the kitchen for the great service

Great food & atmosphere, and the staff are good & friendly.

Amazing food boiling hot and the flavour and price is amazing you need to visit

Busy place. Good menu, fast service. Good range of drinks.

£4.50 for a diet coke. Hard pass!

This is the best restaurant I have ever been to. The pesto pasta is to die for. So is the garlic bread with tomato. The atmosphere is always loud and warm and our food comes to us within 8 mins. The waiters and waitresses are very nice and welcoming and the toilets are clean and hygienic.

excellent food, a lovely atmosphere, and attentive staff . very nice restaurant.

Delicious, affordable food in an authentic restaurant. What’s not to like? Pizzas, pastas, meat dishes. They’re also incredibly welcoming and accommodating of families with children. The restaurant will often be fully booked so booking a couple of weeks in advance is recommended.

The quality of the food and the service is 2nd to none. Highly recommend a visit!

Food was amazing! Prices AMAZING staff always have a smile on their face, highly recommend. Much prefer eating here then going to those "high end" italian restraunts in Manchester... food, drink and vibes in this place are amazing absolutely love This place x

Always liked this place, but their pizzas used to be just ok. Not anymore. Real fast baked Neopolitan pizzas that match Rudy’s. Don’t know when they changed, just glad they have. Got to be one of the best Italian restaurants in south Manchester and it does great offers from Sunday to Thursday. Great to see it so busy. So many delicious things to try, including an interesting cocktail menu. Lovely deserts that all look homemade. Highly recommended 👍

Absolutely brilliant place. Went for the early bird meal as a family of four. Service was top drawer and food brilliant. Will definitely return and recommend

Everything Amazing 10/10 always the best love it defo recommend.

Quality food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely superb… amazing food, great atmosphere, attentive staff, reasonable prices. What’s not to love. Thank you Alex, Ferdinando and all the team

Nice food, lovely ambience. Sea bass was lovely.

Great food great place highly recommend

Delicious food, would recommend

Authentic taste of Italy! Warm atmosphere, impeccable service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Very busy, but no problem on the service. Nice little restaurant.

Waited for over an hour after ordering 2 starters and 2 mains, asked 3 times about our order as people around us had finished 3 courses while our starters nowhere to be seen. The waiter arrived with a garlic bread that neither of us ordered. On that note we decided to leave and won't be returning, worse service I've ever experienced.

Our favourite place. Always very happy with service, food and atmosphere. Food is very delicious just like in Italy.

First time. The food and service was amazing always making sure you have been served my server called KAIF he was really nice and helped me with my pizza of choice. 5/5.

We dined here on our anniversary. Food is stunning and the portions are very generous. Staff are really friendly.

Very nice Italian resturant.. went here for my birthday and a friends birthday too all on the same night. Really good service food was fab. Very busy resturant but lovely atmosphere. Would recommend for a decent Italian meal..

Great authentic Italian Restaurant, food amazing, well worth a visit.

Great food and service it's just like being in Italy 🇮🇹 very busy and families just as it should be a lovely atmosphere but book in advance

Awesome, advisable to book. Best Italian restaurant in Greater Manchester

Had a fabulous family meal this evening service fast and efficient. Atmosphere was amazing it was so busy and the staff were very attentative without being over the top .will visit again soon

Fantastic meal, catered for 3 separate allergies with ease.

The best Italian in the area without question.

Best Italian restaurant in town :)

Just a fantastic place. Great Italian food. The staff are lovely!!

This place is is amazing food is fantastic, staff are fantastic, so tasty like being in Rome ,good portions size will be visiting this place regularly definitely worth a visit xx

Had a lovely meal here recently. The staff were lovely and the food was great. The cannelloni was lovely.

Great place for some Italian Cuisine! Food: Quality of the food was great. The garlic bread and pizza toppings were certainly nice. The base of the pizza's are good however not my favourite (they are in the middle between a deep pan and thin crust style). Service: The service was a little longer than expected after ordering our meals. We did have a group of 9 which may have added to the wait time. Could be improved. Atmosphere: Great atmosphere with authentic style decor and ambient music in the background. The restaurant is located on the main road, so parking can be tricky. There is the Romiley station car park or side street parking available.

Brilliant service, food and atmosphere. Sat night, they squeezed us in and it was wonderful. Our new favourite Romiley restaurant.

An amazing Italian restaurant! Everything was cooked fresh and cooked perfectly, I had the whitebait to start and the Tuna steak linguine, both were seasoned perfectly! The cocktails we had were also excellent! I am definitely coming back and recommending this place to friends!

My 1st time here, it's been recommended by quite a few friends and it has not disappointed. What amazing food, service and quality. Will definitely be coming back here!!! What a find!! Well done to everyone who works so hard here 💖

Had steak and pizza on a date night with my wife. Service was excellent and food was amazing.

Nothing but praise for this restaurant. Went early evening and it was already 3/4 full. A bit noisy but to be expected.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere

17 family members went to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday and we had a fabulous time food and service were all fabulous thank you so much 😊

Great choice for an authentic Italian meal

Went on Friday for the first time to the Italian after recently moving near the area and was blown away. Superb venue, service and food was delightful. Can’t wait to return!

Lovely place great food great staff great prices lots of vegan and vegetarian options too which I prefer

The food here is actually very decent - seems authentic as an Italian menu and I was very pleased to see lots of vegan options - keep it going guys! My one criticism is that it’s so manic busy that it’s almost impossible to have a quiet conversation or a romantic dinner..the restaurant runs ‘family nights’ so it’s a sorely rammed full of multiple families with lots of very loud children - so if you want a romantic evening just beer this in mind

Amazing food, great atmosphere and feel to the place. Service was amazing for my daughters birthday, 7 year old and she was made to feel like a princess. Thanks for making her birthday a special one 😊

Really lovely restaurant in Romiley that serves a,along food and cocktails. I love that they have a separate vegan menu which is excellent and contains some of the classic Italian dishes that vegans miss out in a lot. The cocktails are really good too. It is a family friendly restaurant but wouldn’t call it a romantic date night restaurant. The staff are really friendly and attentive. They gave great recommendation from the menu too.

The food was delicious, and the service was prompt. The desserts are especially good.

Disappointing experienced, really expected more from the rave reviews! Best thing I can say is the pasta was hot and house wine good.

Really lovely local Italien. They managed to fit us in on a busy night. But you are best of booking. Great value anytime but especially on there weekday deal.

Great little gaff, packed on a Wednesday evening, absolute testament to how good the food and drinks menu is in here. The BBQ sauce blew my mind, and the pizza was bang on. Great service from Igor, Millie and Eva.

Finally dined in after many a takeaway from here, and were not disappointed!! The food was absolutely delicious and the service is so friendly. Cocktails were fab and they were able to put certain things on/off each dish as they're all made to order. Lovely evening and we'll be back... a lot!

Not been for ages, don't know why as the food was amazing as always. My favourite Italian restaurant by far.

Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service AND 2 cocktails for £12 what’s not to like !! We love it here

We have wanted to visit here for a while and tonight we were near the area and thought let's go! Wow, it did not disappoint. Tuesday night and the restaurant was full, such a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant and we can't wait to visit again. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Great homemade soup Ribs are excellent Lasagne and garlic bread 😋 Would defo return 👍🏻

Been coming here for many years never been disappointed. Food is exceptional and great value for money. Staff are brilliant and pleasant and welcoming. We would like them to share the spare ribs recipe however I fear that I will never receive said recipe 🙂

We've been going here a few times now, and every time we go, the food is incredible. It's such a great place to eat with fantastic service and kind staff.. and with the current situation where all facing financially the prices are affordable and very very good for what you recieve.

Very good food, good service with a bustling atmosphere. Booking essential.

Table of 5 with ages ranging from 9 to 92. Great food as always, cracking atmosphere and great service. Thanks!

Always amazing food. Remember to book a table as it is very popular. Early bird is until 7 Sunday to Thursday. Just ask when you book.

Amazing food, top service and great place! I highly recommend it!

This was the best night's dining we have had for a long time. It came highly recommended and we now see why. Potion size quality and value all boxes ticked. And the service was very efficient and friendly. We have found our new goto restaurant.

We visited last night as a table of 20 both the food and service were outstanding. Even with such a big party our food arrived at the same time. Real authentic Italian restaurant so much better than a generic chain . Starters brilliant main brilliant and desserts were so good. They have a fantastic selection of cocktails and Italian beers very responsible prices and very family friendly thank you for making an important family gathering so special

Fantastic food, lively atmosphere, great staff. Always busy which is a 5 Star recommendation in itself.

Great lively Italian restaurant. Good food and good value.

We are fairly new to the area but have since been recommended The Italian as a must try by many of the locals. We visited last week with friends and again yesterday with family and honestly it is hands down the nicest italian food we have had for a long time. We ordered a mixture of different starters on both visits and can recommend both the ribs and meatballs are fantastic. For any fish lovers I had the Linguine Marinara on both visits and its was delicious. We went a bit more authentic/traditional on the deserts and had cannoli and tirramasu and then were so so good. Tasty food and great value for money and the servers very friendly and attentative. We will definitely be going here again

Great value but not at the expense of quality. Highly recommended.

Meal beautiful will be going again x

Love it here. The service and food are always fantastic

Such a lovely evening! Thank you for your hospitality x

A beautiful place, lovely food and excellent staff even though they were busy really excellent customer service.....👍👍

Great food and very attentive service. Thanks to the main man for my mini stove top coffee pot, also! That was a lovely gesture.

WOW, what an amazing place the Italian is, we are a family that loves Italian food. We have travelled to many Italians, our favourite was in York, but it has now closed down we also had another favourite more local to us but I'm sad to say I never thought I would this is by far the best!! we did ring and book, and I would recommend doing so as it's very busy most days. Staff were lovely, the decor is beautiful & honestly the food is amazing I really don't have anything negative I can say. Will now be our go-to.

One of the nicest Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! The atmosphere is really authentic and cosy, the staff were so friendly and service was speedy, and the food was unreal! 100% recommend.

Great food brilliant service lovely atmosphere

Outstanding venue, excellent choice of wines and food was all top tier. We came for our Christmas meal in a large group and they handled it all with ease. Phenomenal establishment. Bellissimo

Had sea bass and can honestly say it's the nicest I've ever had. Will definitely be going again.

Always a good meal never have any complaints from anyone in the party. Tasty hot food with nice friendly atmosphere.

Never been here before but its reputation precedes it and we weren't disappointed. The menu was extensive with plenty of mouth watering dishes to enjoy. The waiters were friendly and efficient. Although the place was packed, we didn't feel pressured to finish up. When the bill arrived we couldn't believe how reasonable it was - and that just topped off the evening nicely. A++

Visited for the first time, absolutely delicious food, lovely friendly staff and beautiful restaurant. Was super impressed, will definitely be returning.
