The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

I went with a party of 12 at lunch time. The staff were lovely and food came quickly. Garlic bread between us. This was nice. Then starters. I had the pate. It was ok. Then for mains I had the risotto. It’s was extremely salty and I couldn’t eat it. The price was ok. We used the lunchtime menu. And it was set prices. £20 per person for 2 courses. I wouldn’t rush back though

First time visiting and we were very impressed. We managed to get a last minute table on a Saturday evening (highly recommend booking). The food is incredible and portions are great sizes. The service was possibly the best service we have ever received in any restaurant. Everything about this place is great, they really have attention to detail. I would say this place is a must when visiting Windermere!! Thanks for a lovely evening.

We have been here many times and it never lets us down. Service is friendly and the menu is authentic. My Dad and I had a laugh or two with the waiters and there is also a very good choice of wines by the glass. The 40 minute bus journey for us definitely justifies the experience. A la prossima!

Thanks guys for brilliant food and great service whist we’ve been back home for a few months. One of our favourite restaurant in Southport and the food is so good. Been coming here since it opened and we have never had a bad meal. All the staff are so pleasant and very attentive. Look forward to returning November for a few months again. We’ve missed la Tabella a lot especially Friday nights . Thanks guys

ad to ask for them back to use. Food portions are a little smaller but the food was ok/nice. What really left me feeling disappointed is that I asked to purchase several gift vouchers for family for meals as Xmas gifts, the waitress seemed really pleased with this and said she would send the manager over to sort this, only for her to come back and to be told I had to pay for them by cash? I'm not sure if this is the norm or what could be a valid reason for this, but I didn't have nearly £300 in cash on me. Suffice to say they lost out on a nearly £300 purchase because they wouldn't take a card payment.

Food is really good, perhaps a tad too much salt. Like the choice and the staff and owners are very welcoming. Would highly recommend. Not for kids though.

Our chef was Lewis very polite and absolutely gorgeous food, highly recommended. Won’t find a better pizza in Accrington xx

This restaurant was recommended y our hotel The Queens. The waitress who served was a lovely young girl very attentive. We both had a pasta dish which tbh we were underwhelmed 😥 my husband’s didn’t have much chicken in it and my prawns were overcooked. We were as the title of my review quite shocked to be charged for a few extra chillies 🌶️ £2 as there was no mention of this. We thought it was a bit petty. We both had ice cream sundaes which were very nice and made fresh. Our bill with a £29 bottle of pinot Grigio was £92 which wasn’t great value for money. All in all we wouldn’t book here again.

I was blown away by the flavors here! Each dish was carefully prepared, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the evening special.

First time visiting with family as a recommendation. Food was spot on (bonus of 50% off for a limited time too). Partner had a fillet steak which was huge, whereas I opted for the Chicken and Pancetta. Each portion was well presented and we had the best server (didn’t catch his name but he was a great character from Bulgaria/Portugal). Very welcoming place and we’ll definitely be back! (Although we didn’t have any pizza, they looked amazing and the garlic bread was awesome!)

We have been to this restaurant at least three tines a year, because we like to go to others for a change but I can honestly say the food and the service is absolutely amazing just going to book for our first night of the year. By the way I'm gluten free and I miss out on nothing.

Food is unbelievable! Staff are even better! Francesco especially made an impression- he was super friendly to me and my partner on Valentine’s Day

Precioso italiano con un gran personal. Comí la bruschetta vegana para empezar y un espagueti Napoli con setas y calabacín para un principal que era muy sabroso.

A family-owned Italian restaurant with a service in the style of McDonalds. Often quicker to turn over a table than to serve the ones already there. Two chefs at peak time on a Saturday night putting one dish through the pass at any one time. Loud groups of people and cramped back to back seating. Needs some work.

Lovely service - friendly and helpful. Really good food. Found ourselves in Bolton and tbh there aren't alot of places to choose from but this is a gem of a place. It was very busy though so book. Parking close by.
