The best restaurants serving British food in Smithills Bolton North West

Is Cafe Italia under new ownership? We went today and didn't recognise any of the usual staff. Nobody greeted us at the door although staff were hanging round. I then asked if we could sit anywhere to which a guy said "yea, anywhere". We sat there a good while before anyone attended to us. A guy who I think was "the main man" was busy chatting and two waitresses just stood there. Eventually we ordered our usual, a shared pizza, chips and salad. The pizza hardly had any cheese on and was soggy and greasy in the centre and the lettuce in the salad was limp and had started to yellow. The chips were OK. The guy at the next table sent his meal back as it was luke warm. It arrived back, presumably warmed up, but a few minutes later he called the waitress and told her it was not what he had ordered. It was spaghetti and was supposed to have sausage and tomatoes in it but apparently had neither. The 2 waitresses were dour with no smiles for anyone as was the 'main man" not sure whether the restaurant has been taken over or whether it was just "Monday staff". I won't be returning in a hurry.

Was crowded out of my table because owner family wanted to sit there. I'm have a painful disability so I sit away from main isle. Even though I explained I was told I would be better sat in the main isle. No disabled facilities at all one to avoid

First time visit and definitely will be back Mothers day treat from my family and it was fabulous staff were very attentive surroundings pleasant and restaurant is well run and friendly Menu was exactly what I was hoping for lots of choice. Food was excellent and well presented and really tasty. Thanks for making my Mother’s Day extra special.
