The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bury North West

We order regularly from Lupo and it’s always fantastic…except today!! Not only was my food terrible when I phoned to speak to the manager he was rude and not willing to listen to what I said. Has now put me in a position as I feel like I don’t want to order from them again with an owner who doesn’t take criticism well.

I was recently on a date in Bury having a few drinks and we decided to get something to eat. Before I continue let me explain that this was a first date and I couldn't believe my luck, this girl was incredible, unbelievably gorgeous, funny, easy to talk to the whole package and then some. More amazingly she still seemed happy to be out on a date with me. I was punching harder than Rocky when he fought the Russian. Way out of my depth and desperate for things to go well. I don't know Bury all that well but had recently done some work there for an Italian gentleman who took me for an authentic Italian pizza after work one evening. It was the best pizza I've had in my life no contest so seemed a no brainer to go for a pizza. When we arrived at the restaurant I had previously been to it was closed. I was devastated and didn't have a clue where else to suggest. We walked a little further up the road and spotted Meliá. After having a drink at the bar Michael found us a table and I soon discovered the restaurant we was in was the same restaurant I had been to before only in a new premises. Everything about the night was perfect, the food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere and most of all the company. It was certainly a night I'll remember with a smile for a long time. Thanks to Michael and all the staff at Meliá for making me look good. Fingers crossed we'll be back sometime. 😉

We just had a delicious Diaviola pizza at Lombardis. The marinara sauce was really tasty and the salami chunks were really generous. We also had a slice of chocolate cake which was delightful. The owner was very friendly, we will definitely come back!!

Sadly we experienced an awful night here for my dad’s birthday. Dreadful service. We were told we weren’t booked in and left waiting around when we were. When they realised their mistake there was very little by way of an apology. It was apparently all a big joke! Then we were taken to our table which was so crammed that a lady was sat with her back to us between myself and my father. Our order wasn’t taken for forty minutes and the waiter went to other tables first and they actually ended up sending him over to us. One waiter came over and I smiled at him thinking he was going to take our order when he turned his back on me and actually walked off!

This place is a hidden gem within the Market and is not to be missed The food is all hand made by the owner and you can tell how much love and care goes into everything. The sharing platter is a must and I would also highly recommend purchasing some of the delicious Olive Oil that comes straight from the owners home town of Corato in Puglia.

Both out pizza and pasta dishes were prepared fresh as soon as we ordered, and all tasted amazing!! Great food and lovely service too, would definitely recommend!

Visited as a family of 8, great service from Mac! Food is excellent, really nice relaxed environment! Had little ones with us and they were kept happy with colouring pages and crayons! Hope to return! Fab birthday meal

Why did I not go there before?! Service is amazing. Food is just wwwoooowwww! Cosy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Fiona and Arber helped prepare a birthday surprise for Oskar. Thank you very much and see you soon.

Nice restaurant for a family meal.

Lovely mid week meal. Excellent food. Great service and ambience

Absolutely gorgeous meal. Service outstanding.

Been going since I was in my teens. Lovely food, cosy setting and an authentic old style family owned business.

Very friendly atmosphere Will be so sorry to see it shut down after going there for almost 40 years 😪

Both excellent food and service couldn't fault it. Nice atmosphere dropped a star as placed 3 of us on a small table by the firedoor against the wall.I was facing the wall :(

Great Garlic bread and chocolate fudge cake. Thank you.
