The Italian Club Fish in Liverpool

It's our first year anniversary on the 28.04.24 been married for 12 months ❤️❤️ we took a train into Liverpool and headed off to the, Italian Club Fish Restaurant in Bold street Liverpool, were our table for two was booked, I must say the food we both had was just amazing, so lovely, and the service from all the staff was a credit to the restaurant. Thank you so much everyone for making our first wedding anniversary a place to remember for the rest of our lives. Peace and Blessings.❤️❤️🙏 Sheila and Clive from Southport.😊💐🌹🌺

Stumbled across this gem of a restaurant in the heart of liverpool. Welcomed in by kind and accommodating staff. Started with 6 oysters and Prosecco- the fresh oysters were excellent. Next my father had the fritto misto - which he thoroughly enjoyed, although he said he could have done without the chips! but he’s weird like that. I had the cioppino - very filling and great flavour with tonnes of sea food. Wine was also delicious! Would definitely come again to try more dishes and would recommend to any fish lovers out on the streets of liverpool!

Brilliant food!!!! What a lovely cosy restaurant. Staff are lovely and very helpful. I had the fried oysters to start and my wife the Calamari and prawns. Both absolutely lovely. My wife said the best Calamari she has had. For main I had the mixed Seaford pasta, my wife the half lobster pasta both were really really tasty. Ignore the comments on not being fresh because it absolutely is !!! For dessert, the Nutella and nut tart, again amazing, first time here but will not be the last!!!

If you like seafood this restaurant is a real gem. The food is out of this world made even better by the warmth of the welcome by the fantastic staff. Whenever we are in Liverpool we make sure to eat here

Best around, honestly, you won't get better. We have been going here for a long long time and truly I can't say a bad word about this place

lovely Saturday afternoon here with my love. Oysters the highlight though was nothing that didn't hit the spot. All the team there were on point. will return soon

The food was very good but falls shy of excellent for the price. One of the waiters was great and the others functional. Slightly felt as though they were doing us a favour by being there and minimal pleasantries. The spaghetti was particularly good. The mixed fish grill lacked any real flavour. Desserts were nice enough.

The food overall is great, however, the seafood can better fresher. We can smell some of the clam. The prawn meat is not fresh, we just can tell. Overall it’s not so bad.

Good night, apart, from, food, large, king, prawns, where, very soft, and smelly ,the haddock looked great,but,smelt of amoia, I eat ,a lot of fresh fish it was disappointing, when you get served fish, which is out of date, and calamari, was poor frozen, you can't call your self a fish restaurant ,with poor ,quality, food, not a good idea,.

Great food and lovely staff 👌 good value for money.

Great little restaurant, with good service and a great choice of fish on the menu.

Great restaurant with lovely choices of fish. Not cheap but worth it.

Visited here with my husband midweek after many recommendations. The restaurant was quiet but had a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered swordfish for my main, I mentioned to my husband that it didn’t taste very fresh and one bite tasted funny so I left the rest. I was very ill all night, definitely won’t be visiting again!

Great meal. All 4 of us enjoyed our selections. I went for mussels and seabass, both very good, we’ll be back for another visit.

Lovely restaurant on the top end of bustling bold street. If you like sea food this is an excellent place to try. Food was brilliant, staff fabulous & very friendly, atmosphere was great. We loved everything, can highly recommend here. We will be back

very nice italian seafood restaurant. would highly recommend the oysters gratinate.

Visited here for Mother’s Day the starters were lovely the main wasn’t very nice the pasta wasn’t cooked and there was no fish in the dish, the server gave us dirty looks which was weird, we never said anything at the time I just don’t go back no smiles from staff miserable never again

Lovely meal out . Fish perfectly cooked and tasted great. Staff were very attentive. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great Italian themed fish restaurant We had the fish daily special and the moules both good Could have standard Italian as well Good service

Absolutely as good as I was told it would be!

Great seafood with Italian twist and good service

Excellent food. Wine list has changed, bring back the Vermentino.

Gorgeous food & vino..we’ve been here twice now & we’ll be back 100% ..lovely place to celebrate our wedding anniversary..

We 3 enjoyed a delicious range of fish dishes. Good service . Book ahead as the place gets busy .

Mixed sea platter is outstanding but scallops are not good enough

Just outstanding. Never found a fish restaurant to match this. Gran Fritto Misto is superb

This restaurant was recommended to us by our daughter and we were not disappointed The food was beautiful and pipping hot Great value for money Loved the ambiance and decor Worth a visit

Excellent Valentine's Eve meal. Really tasty Cozza alla marinara and Sea bass and Cod in batter.

Been before and will keep returning really enjoy it there

Usually great food but this time service was dreadful Didn't come for our drinks order ,she forgot we were there , then waited an hour for our second couse and the restaurant was almost empty Half the clams in our meal were closed so couldn't eat them and chef argued about the amount we said were closed when there shouldn't have been any on a £24 meal Then they had the cheek to add service charge of £6.55

Love this place. Menu is amazing. Plenty to choose from. Husband chose the halibut and said it was the best meal he has ever had. everything is so fresh and the service is proper old school, you leave feeling looked after. Worth a visit. We will be back. If you bag the window tables its a nice little view too. Busy corner of Bold st.

Excellent sea food with fresh fish specials. Our go to place for fine dining when we are in Liverpool.

It all started so well. Welcomed by polite staff. Seated before time. A good list of specials. We shared 6 oysters with Prosecco, perfectly fresh and not too big, followed by tuna tartar, again fresh and nicely flavoured. Then the mains, I had tagliatelle with prawns, the pasta was overdone and all stuck together, prawns were delicious though. My partner had the special Red Snapper risotto. The fish was actually slightly burnt, and the risotto was overdone. There were also some very chewy strips of squid, not really edible. The sauce flavour was too bitter. Sides of Samphire, too soft and overdone, and fries slightly shrivelled. I think the food was overcooked and left waiting. Finally, we had vanilla ice cream, a shot of expresso and Amiretto, lovely, but you can't really mess this up. Staff throughout were great. We complained about the risotto, and it was removed from the bill, and we were given a free glass of wine.

I went there a few days ago with a last-minute booking. Staff were helpful to squeeze in a party of four. I had high expectations, thinking of the Italian flavours we could have there. We ordered the hot skillet and the seafood platter. I must admit, if you didn't order the grilled fish of the day or pasta, the rest of the menu was all fried and tasted a bit the same. I would have liked to see grilled octopus instead of boiled and then passed through the grill. I also wouldn't bother with chips, just ask to swap them for salad. As for the oysters, you get only one variety, but the waiter couldn't tell us the origin which was a bit surprising. We ordered them anyway, but they didn't hold up to my expectations either. In terms of environment, I like the decor, but the restaurant gets quite noisy. This was probably down to loud customers, but it still made a bit uncomfortable trying to shout in order to have a conversation. I'm not saying I wouldn't go again, but I'd try on a less busy day and I would only order from the catch of the day next time.

I have to say my wife and I love this restaurant, and the food is superb. My only issue is the price of some of the dishes at Club Fish. I spent 15 years working in the catering as a chef, so I'm very aware of the GP on pasta dishes. However, there's GP, and there's taking the mick. I'm also very aware of the rising costs for restaurants, and the hide costs many customers don't see. Charging over £20 for a Carbonara is a little on the steep side. With a 2 course meal(2 x starters and 2 x Mains) for two covers, with a bottle of wine and one glass of wine coming to £140 (including service charge). This means Club Fish has now become a special occasion venue and no longer a weekend treat. As I've said the food is amazing, but you can get the same quality of food for the same price or less in and around the multitude of restaurants on Bold Street. Do try Club Fish, but check the prices before you book.

Great seafood, really fresh and well cooked fish. I had the halibut and 2 sides, with drink it came to just over £33. Really good service.

This is one of the best fish restaurants we have visitedin the uk. The fish is cooked to perfection and presented in well and the interior is very homely and unpretentious. The staff are attentive and polite without being overbearing and the food is honestly priced. The scallops were stand out perfection. We will return .

Very disappointing. Visited for the first time for my wife's birthday. She is a big seafood fan, so this should have been perfect..... BUT..... a number of issues: 1. No recognition of the fact it was my wife's birthday 2. The service was unbelievably slow - it took over an hour between our starters and main course 3. At no time did any of the staff advise us there was a problem We were given a 15% discount off our bill, but there was little appreciation of how bad the experience was. On the plus side, the Oysters were amazing. The rest of the food was ok, as none of it was very warm. Sadly, we will not be going back.

What has happened to The Italian Fish Club ? We went on a Thursday evening which unusually was far from busy, and the food was well, just average, certainly well below their usual standard. New Year Blues? Change of Chef? £25 for a very small portion of halibut with some cold chips for me and my wife got a child's portion of some mushy goujons. The staff spent most of the evening wistfully looking out to the Bold Street footfall hoping for more customers. They will have to work a little harder to retain their customer base, which up to recently was extremely loyal. I hope our disappointing meal was a one-off. We shall give the restaurant one more try, but after that......... probably not. Sad, it used to be our most favourite restaurant.

Great place for a lovely Italian meal

The food was amazing - absolutely loved it - definitely worth a visit

Stumbled across this place. The restaurant front caught my eye,very pretty. Myself and my friend had lunch. I had the vegan puttanesca! I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants,all I can say is this was the nicest Italian food I have eaten. Will definitely be going again❤️

A cosy place at the top of bold street, perfect if you’re wanting pasta and seafood. Their platters and ciopinnos are so good. Everything is full of flavour but not too heavy. They can run out of things (fresh oysters etc) so just be careful if you go a bit later on that some of the fresher/ special stuff may have been sold out.

Went for a meal evening time, at first the main host was great and helpful. We had a waitress with a very distasteful attitude, and came home in the night only to throw up the food that was had. Both me and my fiancé could not do anything the day after or move far from the toilet to be sick. Won’t be coming here again.

Perfectly cooked pasta, delicious fish, great service and desserts to die for: Cappuccino cheesecake and tiramisu, wow, utterly scrumptious!

Amazing food and service. The mussel pots are to die for. Some more authentic music would be nice. Some of the best seafood I’ve had in the uk.

Very expensive to expesive not worth it at all. The staff was ok the food was decent corect but deffiently not worth 280 pounds for 4 adults and teo kids that had just chips.

Been here a few times this year and had some of the best meals we’ve ever had, absolutely brilliant every time and every dish we’ve had has been amazing. It has fast become our favourite restaurant

Christmas Late Lunch with friends (Six of us) - Superb all round experience The restaurant looked great and our table which we had booked was in a great spot by the window. Service - fantastic. Attentive at the right level, timely and dealt with all our queries regarding the menu The food was suberb, a great selection, beautifully presented, well prepared and most importantly tasted fantastic. Good sized portions too, and certainly not overpriced Overall highly recommended for whatever occasion of eating out you want to enjoy. There was a slight query over one order, but it was sorted quickly, quietly and to all of our satisfaction - what more could you want from a restaurant - well done Maria and Gold Star Thank you Italian Club Fish for a brilliant pre-Christmas meal/occasion

Had our staff Christmas meal here last night and all I can say is delicious 😋 the food is out of this world and can’t say thank you enough we all left full and happy! Staff amazing as always thank you 🙏🏼

Food here was really good. The fish was fresh. We tried multiple dishes and we liked all of them. Highly recommend this place.

A year on from previous visit. Been repainted and a little too bright but food, drinks, staff still exceptionally the best!

Impossible to fault. Excellent food with great service in a lovely atmosphere. Fresh fish was amazing, and the sanfire with garlic and chilli a great accompaniment.

Terrible experience and a complete waste of a precious Saturday evening. We ended up walking out, having waited for over an hour for two main courses. Even getting a drink or ordering a starter of bread and olive oil took half an hour. None of the staff gave any explanation while we waited. or even looked interested when we said we were leaving. The couple next to us, from London, had waited for two hours, they said. So embarrassing for Liverpool, which has so much to offer. We were seated upstairs, which offers nothing like the downstairs experience, where previously we had lovely meals in the past. If you do book, don't go upstairs, it's so cramped, you feel like YOU are the sardine!!

Had an absolutely amazing experience for our sons birthday, the food was absolutely delicious, came piping hot which is a bit of a bug bear for me, could not fault a thing and we are looking forward to our next visit!

Staff shocking really thought they were a cut above the customer

Absolutely delicious and great staff

Food was hearty in portions and delicious. However there were a few things that could have made our experience better. -Despite having an 8:15pm booking, our table wasn't ready for us when we arrived and we had to wait 15 minutes. In addition, we had to wait over 45 minutes for our main courses to arrive, and had to chase the waiters. -A few of the menu items were out of stock which was surprising as it was Saturday night and we thought they'd stock up well enough for a busy night. All in all, would still go back again as the food was great.

Calamari a little dry, otherwise everything else is excellent! Authentic Italian, ingredients are fresh. Service is friendly! Must go!

Atmosphere and decor were very nice

I've been here 3 times on special occasions always great food and excellent service I've even recommended to my son who had the same experience.

Final meal for our trip to Liverpool. Had'nt booked, but they were more than happy to give us a table once one became available .. that turned out to be within 15 minutes. Roseario (hope thats correct spelling) was very welcoming and service and banter...

A very disappointing visit for what was meant to be a birthday celebration. The meal started with loud maintenance work being done on the bar which was very distracting. Prior to ordering our food, my husband asked where the fish was supplied from (he works...

Superb restaurant. If you love seafood and you're in Liverpool make a visit a priority.

Italian Club Fish - there for lunch. The place looked great and the food was really good. Huge portions - all great - until one of the waitress started making coffee using the espresso machine. Fine for a couple of coffees but this went on...

Fantastic Food and service ,small but good space!

We went as a delegation, 10 of us, and every individual had an exceptional meal, we all left happy and enjoyed the food, the service and the setting. I will recommend the Oysters and Fish and Chips.

Food 08/10 Portion 09/10 Food presentation 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Service 10/10 Food variety 09/10 Price $$$

I hade the special tonight , John Dory with clams and Fettuccine, I have never tasted anything so amazing! It was a Monday night and it was really busy too which was just great ! It’s the best restaurant in Liverpool

We wanted dinner before going to the Empire, walked up Bold St and ended up outside, we didn’t think they would be able to fit is in on a Saturday night with no reservation but they did! I was so happy as it smelt amazing!...

Me and my son walked in around 9.15pm after recommendation . We had a beautifully freshly cooked meal of lobster with spaghetti and I had sea bass. We both enjoyed very much and highly recommend it. Not the cheapest meal but not disappointed at all.

Excellent food with generous portions and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Will almost certainly be back again on next visit to Liverpool

I knew we needed a Reservation during The Open week at Hoylake, so I booked it in May. Good thing I did, as the place was hopping ahead of our 7:00 time. Got to our table a little late, but the wait was worth it....

Very good food, although it can get quite busy so the waiting time was a bit long.

As great seafood lovers, we had heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint. We had the oysters to start with a glass of Prosecco. Oh they were so tasty, beautiful! Then we had the seafood sharing platter. So much seafood on...

I had lunch here, it was very quiet. That is not a criticism, it just meant less atmosphere. Food was 10/10 as was service. Will definitely return, probably more atmosphere in the evening. But it is well worth a visit.

Family run business that really runs a great restaurant. Menu is varied and interesting...something for everyone. Food is creative and well prepared served hot. Seafood is FRESH. Wait staff is very friendly and efficient. There are lots of food options in Liverpool, just make sure...

Oh this is a terrific find. The place is small and intimate and the food is amazing. So much too, perhaps too much really as I hate waste. Prices were excellent, cocktails lovely and we really enjoyed our meals.

Very over priced food for what it is. Have eaten in many good restaurants. We spent £160 for two people and have never been so disappointed with the quality of food for the price . Very tastless food seafood terrible quality of seafood over rated and definitely would not recommend

We went for a late lunch and we were excited after reading great reviews. I’ve travelled in Italy and had some amazing fresh fish meals. This was nothing like fresh or tasty. The calamari and mussels were fine, but nothing special. But the prawns were...

Great food and lovely venue for a special farewell to a dear friend.

Yummy food, staff not as friendly

We were really looking forward to going to this place being seafood lovers and trying a few other great seafood restaurants. Unfortunately it didn't live up to our expectations, the two of us were seated on an extremely small table. We then ordered the seafood platter... which looked like a show stopper on a 'tiered' (massive) platter when it arrived, however had we known this we may have not ordered it, as for the duration we could not see each other at all, let alone talk as the tables are so close together. We found this very embarrassing!! Even the table next to us were laughing they had ordered the same but obviously there being more of them they had a bigger table. Perhaps the waiter could have pre-warned us, or perhaps knowing the table we were seated at, dished it up differently. We were also right next to the bathroom, with people constantly shimmying past through the narrow, tight space. As for the food it was okay, but definitely looked better than it tasted and the portion size wasn't very good considering the price and size of the actual platter itself. A very disappointing experience for a very expensive evening. Would highly recommend Cargo near the Docks for great seafood!

Top class. We had a fantastic lunch here. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. But best of all, the food was delicious. I had the Sea bass and it was really exceptional, so fresh and cooked to perfection. Washed down with a yummy house white wine. Dietary requirements well catered for. Being Gluten and dairy free I was well looked after. Won't be long before I return as need to try their Gluten free pasta! Highly recommended.

I have been here before, and the food was fantastic, so came back, and sadly it wasn't as good as before, seafood was overcooked, langustines had shells burned to charcoal and this time round, sadly, all tasted really, really blunt. Tomato and tartare sauce saved the main meal, but you have to pay for them extra. I will say though, tiramisu was delicious! Service was alright although didn't show any interest, when I pointed out the burnet langustines. Overall, we had great food and experience before, but this time round it was very disappointing.

Glorious afternoon! My sister hasn’t travelled abroad for some time but this is as close as she can get to holiday food in the sunshine as fresh as a daisy and with great service and attention to detail. We (a party of 4 including a vegetarian) spent a very happy 3 hours working our way through the well constructed and balanced menu. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Great seafood in a very pleasant restaurant, and with great service too. Not the cheapest but the food is worth it.

Went for dinner for my husband’s birthday after recommendations, never been so disappointed in a meal . We were seated up 3 flights of stairs , my husband is waiting for a new knee we were never asked if the stairs were a problem!! We...

First time visit to Liverpool and was recommended by local friend to restaurant. Lobsters and mussels not fresh. Restaurant manager & our serving waitress unfriendly and cold. The overall service we received was worse. We spent over 200 pounds on this lunch and totally impressive. My mom suffered diarrhea right after got back to hotel after this lunch. Compared to The Italian Club (the other one on the same street), so this “The Italian Club Fish” not recommended.

Tiny place with bold design and cozy atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious 10 out of 10, fresh seafood 👍🏻 and tiramisu ! A must try !❤️

Pasto perfetto pesce buono solo i tempi di attesa un po’ lunghi

A lovely gem in Liverpool. The food and atmosphere is excellent.

Excellent throughout, warm welcome, excellent service and food !! Decor and ambiance also ! Thank you can’t wait to return and will 100% recommend !!

Buonissimo, bellissima esperienza! Lo staff molto simpatico. La pasta buonissima, la cheese cake al capuccino é d’obbligo se passi di qua! Bella scoperta!

Been here several times and it is our favourite place. Food is outstanding, best sea food ever, you wonder be disappointed

One of my favourite places in Liverpool! Came here for lunch with my sister the other day - best way to start our day. We ordered scallops and calamari fritti. Then we ordered a pasta each as a mains. I asked if my pasta was...

The food was good But the service was not really good

Very nice atmosphere . Food was really good.

Having booked the Italian Club Fish in error having intended to book the Italian Club on the opposite side of the road, I was concerned that the menu wouldn`t suit two of my friends- neither of whom liked shell fish ! i need not have...

Fantastic restaurant, great service, my favourite Scallops were only available as a starter, the staff were asked if they could do Scallops wth spaghetti, the chef agreed to cook this meal for me and it was fabulous. Would go again, great atmosphere and service
