The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bolton North West

We visited as a table of 8 for a works do. Great food, portions are huge and everyone's meals were tasty. We all had starters and mains with drinks and it was very reasonably priced. Service was fast however could be a bit more friendly and remember to smile. Other than that would highly recommend to visit

Easily the best pizza in Bolton by a mile. Not your standard pizza at all. You know the ones, tastes like sugar and identical to everywhere else. Well that's not the the case here . Really high quality tastes like it was made from scratch.

Went for my sons 21st and can always rely on the quality of food.Never fails,friendly staff,lovely atmosphere and food AMAZING even though I always order same thing.The ribs just fall off the bone and cannelloni is the only one I have tried with tasty meat and spinach. As for the garlic bread so thin and yummy just dont eat too much or will be full of main meal,although do allow you to take it away so had a yummy tea today x

Lovely place to eat and meet, friendly helpful staff. Keep up the great work

My favourite restaurant, staff are so friendly, excellent food, great 🍸

Been going to frances for over the 20 years always been consistent and good...but it has changed recently ...the last three meals have been terrible ...overcooked, pre prepared conjealed and bland.... Such a shame that a business with so much reputation can go down hill so fast....won't be eating there again...sorry Franca consistency is the key...

Came in for my 30th birthday, all the staff are really nice, professional and polite. Service was excellent and the food where even better. Would 100% recommend

We came here for a wake, the staff from the off Were fantastic and helpful all the way through the afternoon the food was superb and very plentiful they kept bringing food out whilst we wanted it. So thank you for making a sad day into a very special one for us.

I passed this restaurant every day when I was on jury service and loved the flowers around the front door. Last night my husband and I finally got round to visiting. It did not disappoint. The food wasn't cheap but it was incredible quality and worth every penny. The service was great, very attentive. My husband was tempted away from his usual calzone too. The only thing we disagreed on was whether the tiramisu or creme brulee was better and lets face it, this isnt the worst choice we could have. Will definitely be back

SO disappointed with our recent takeway. Used to be such a great pizza/paste place, always hot, fresh and authentic. Tonight, our pizza looked incredibly unappetizing, covered in orange cheese (presumably cheddar) lacking tomato sauce and with mimimal, low quality toppings. The pasta was supposed to have a bolognese sauce however was nothing like this and seemed to have been made with turkey and was inedible. A complete waste of money and really shocked at the decline of a once fantastic pizza takeaway.

I am italian worked in italian restaurant for 40 years. I went to leo' s to try i it was from when i left and worked 25 years ago aprox. The food it's excellent well presentet and testy. Service it was very good despite i was served by a young girl called laura but! she was very polity and attentive. I had a very welcoming by Alby wich i think she is the manager. Overall i went home happy with food and service and i think this small restaurant deserve a good revew . Grazie

Stayed here for one night, comfortable clean rooms. Good food and well kept beer. Fantastic walking in the area.

We’ve been here several times and it never disappoints us.The beef lasagne is to die for and is the nicest we’ve ever had. It’s very local to where we live and the he prices are very competitive in relation to other places.Keep up the good work guys!

April 2023 Very disappointed in my experience at Prezzo. My daughter who is 7 ordered a child's menu spaghetti and informed me she had metal in her mouth. Spat the metal out and yes there was a big sharp piece of metal in her food. Very large lump. Very concerned this could have been very dangerous if she had swollowed or ingested the metal. Informed the waiter. Had to ask for the plate to be removed and new food ordered. No apology from the chef or senior management which I would expect from a serious incident. No concern or reassurance provided for my daughter that was very distressed from metal hurting her teeth. Extremely concerned about the experience.

so I went here at lunch time when it was quiet which makes the events even more inexcusable as they weren’t exactly rushed off their feet .. when seated we ordered two drinks which took ten minutes to arrive which was slightly annoying since the barmaid was on her phone .. we ordered the tuna meatballs for starters which looked lovely BUT it all went wrong with these not even 20 minutes after eating them .. halfway through our main course ( my friend got the lobster risotto which was a frozen barley-there lobster accompanied with mushy flavourless rice, which in itself was worth a complaint but on this occasion isn’t even on the scale of the problems with the starter) I started to get a rash and began to feel all sweaty, my friend also was the same as she came back from the toilet and looked purple I’m not joking. .. in absolute distress we ordered the bill which again took forever and st this point I feel like I’m having some weird reaction and have anxiety and want to get to a pharmacy ASAP .. we finally get out and head to the nearest pharmacy and get allergy tablets .. go home (was planning on a full day out drinking but this place RUINED IT-thanks for that) and after a few hours laying on the couch (and a few trips to the bathroom) I became angry when I realised we suffered food poisoning SO I rang the place up (expecting a full refund since I’d been sentenced to the bathroom all evening on its behalf) was very polite at first and I kid you not the manager began to sweat at me and subsequently put the phone down on me .. I’m talking full on obscenities. I have contacted the council to get this place checked as I believe I suffered food poisoning.
