The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

Went with the family for my sons birthday. Jennifer was fab! Friendly and so attentive. Food was amazing. Thanks for a nice night x

Loved my experience at juniper; food was lush. Special thanks to Patrick who looked after our table, he was class! Would recommend 💓

We were a group of 7 friends, celebrating a special occasion. We had a fabulous meal at Pacinos. We had 2 courses each and all the food was freshly made and delicious. The staff are all lovely too. We will defo be back.

So we moved up from London in August 2023 and have been wanting for tasting menus since, its out couples thing. Danoi was our first "'tup Norff" menu post getting settled. The restaurant is all about the tasting menu. Of particular note is the wine pairing which picks up very nicely on the on the soil and water properties of the Tuscan region paired really well with great food. In general the premium wine pairing is worth going for - we tried both Classic and Premium on our visit, we noticed only one exception here. Of particular note for us was: The La Vellutata (Potato Veloute/black caviar/white chocolate) paired with 2021 Langhe DOC "Nascetta" - this was the classic collection exception - it was excellent and especially pulled on undertones of glacial run off water filtered by CLay and Glacial deposit - took me back to mountaineering, a great memory. The Beef Tartare served with a mustard Gelato was a new taste for us and both loved it. The pairing with the 2015 Langhe DOC "Quatr Nas" made us both pause to appreciate what we had just had. Another pairing worth a mention was the Ox Cheek paired with 2016 Barlo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" The cheese course is technically fantastic but for me was too much, we should have shared one between 2. It was worth being stuffed senseless though for the pairing of the 2016 Barolo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" Overall a fantastic experience. We did also visit the family's Gelato shop the next day, also worth a visit and really made us see where the Mustard Gelato came from - a great extra detail forming an overall fantastic experience.

Booked this for my birthday today as I had heard so much about it. It was so disappointing. It was Mad Friday (I blame the parents) Atmosphere was non existent. Half the tables were empty. Food was very poor - we all had pizza and it was the worst I have had in a long time. I am on Slimming World and was prepared to blow it for my birthday as a treat, I am so disappointed. We are trying all the restaurants in town and so far this is by far the worst, we won’t be back £90 for 3 pizzas (small tart type, mine was very doughy), 1 chips, 4 beers and 2 glasses of wine

Walked in and we were seated immediately. Food was excellent and service was friendly and fast. Loved the selection and atmosphere.

Good fresh quality food. Not massive portions but was perfect for us as we don't have a big appetite. Trio of cheesecake dessert was nice but lacked on the biscuit base. 3 courses with 2 large wines £90. Very nice for a treat.

Es mi absolutamente favorito 10 / 10 La comida y el personal muy encantador y la comida fantástica Chips de Corgette Pan de ajo con quesos Y lasaña Mi restaurante número 1

Gem of a place! Authentic and lovely food. Great staff and atmosphere! Love this place

We went for our works Christmas do but decided to eat off the main menu and not the Christmas one. I had rump steak, it was awful, I left half of it as I couldn't chew it or cut it for the amount of fat that was in it. Aldi steaks are better. I asked for mustard to go with it and when I checked the date on the tub it was 2 years out of date! The tiramsu I had for dessert started off nice but half way through it was tasteless and mush! Obviously frozen and defrosted! Will not be returning!

Amazing restaurant, fabulous place ,best Italian around . Family restaurant with the best service , couldn’t do enough for us . I will certainly be going again .

Was disappointed for our night out on a Saturday First we had to ask can we order some drinks Food was ok but the pasta dish I had which was chicken and chorizo it was hunt the chicken very minute pieces in the dish the Seabass had very little on the plate and expensive for what it was. Ordered a bottle of wine for the table which came unopened and we had to ask the girl can we have it opened then brought us a cork screw for just to do it till we said please open it for us. No atmosphere and only 3 tables had dinners on them

Arrived early and was greeted and lead to our table the food was delicious the staff was fabulous and the surroundings are amazing excellent and very reasonable priced will make it one of my favourites

Lovely service and atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. Great portion sizes. Food packed with flavour, only niggle is the iceberg lettuce (rocket & water cress shoots would have tipped this to a 5*) and no aioli with the corvette flowers, but lovely flavours running through all dishes.

I rarely visit in the week, but after today’s visit, I will definitely be making another weeknight trip! La Scala is my favourite local restaurant anyway, because the service, food and atmosphere are fantastic! Another great evening, dining from the early bird menu - pate and calzone; incredible food!
