The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bury North West

Good portion sizes and decent enough quality for a cafe. Would have liked some salad or something to go alongside the tuna melt as it was quite stodgy

Popped in for breakfast as wanted to put money in to local business rather than McD’s etc and the board outside stated 2 breakfasts and 2 teas £12 which seemed reasonable. The breakfast was well sized however the sausage was bland as was the grilled tomato. Bacon and beans were good. The pot of tea wasn’t the best. At no point did anybody pop over and ask us if we were enjoying our meal or if everything was ok. The decor was tired with marks on the walls and the door was filthy. We were in early and the place was empty so wasn’t as though the grime had built up in the day and would have took a minute to wipe it down with a damp cloth at least. Also the table cloth was stained. When went to pay it was £15.88 and not the £12 as advertised outside but couldn’t be bothered challenging as it was the missus’s birthday. Won’t be going there again as just not good enough.

Absolutely terrible experience!! Really wish that I had read the bad reviews first. I had been really looking forward good authentic italian food done properly after recently discovering this place. We made our reservation and arrived 5 mins before, after standing in a queue for over 5 mins, we were asked to wait outside until our table was ready which was about 15 mins.... It was busy and we just accepted it for what it was. After we were sat down it took a while for the most miserable life hating waitress to come to us and take our order. We ordered, drinks took a while, starters took longer than I thought, they were pretty good even though they didn't have what we originally wanted. Then....the wait began.......from ordering food, it took 1 hour for it to arrive, we had to shout the miserable girl to order more drinks.....they never arrived, she just went on to clean tables. we noticed that people who came in after us had eaten and gone...... all four of us were getting very bored, hungry and just sat there not in a good mood as we were just being ignored. We were just about to get up and walk out and then the food arrived.....well, some of it did. one of the kids had to wait about 5 mins longer for her pizza.....we then had to send it back to get it cut up for her..... After seeing all the pics they post and videos of their carbonara, i was really looking forward to someone around here who does a proper one (and wanted to compare it to mine) i was quite underwhelmed.....the portion seemed to be half of what other people had and what was in their pics and the guanciale was hardly cooked! The pizza was ok but nothing special for a margherita, a proper margherita should be a taste sensation (Rudy's are amazing), this was just average. The lasagne was far too hot for a child, took her ages to get it to an eatable temperature, the wife's pasta was ok, nothing special. Our drinks still didn't turn up but by this point we didn't want them, we just wanted to get out of there. Not once did they ask us how things are... I'm not one to complain about things normally, I just put up with it.....I wanted to but I couldn't get anyone's attention as they just seemed to keep walking past up with their heads in a different direction. I thought rather than lose my rag in there, I'll do it via their Instagram messaging just to raise my concerns. I did the day after and I'd say I was quite polite about it and just pointed out our poor service and we were disappointed. They read it and no response. I messaged again a few days later and the same again.......zero response. I then read the reviews and see that others have experienced the same. Seems like the owner/manager is only interested in the positive feedback and things on Instagram etc. I have told others about my experience and it has put them off going as they don't want to risk poor service and I will continue to do so. If they would have responded to my message I would have given it a second chance and put it down to being busy but to ignore people who have come and spent their money for absolutely shocking service, I cant get over that and hope it soon catches up with them and more people realise I'm more annoyed with myself that I didn't realise I had paid an optional service charge on the bill......fuming!!!!! Worse service EVER for what is in my opinion a very very overhyped place... Anyway, rant over, if you have read this I hope you don't go....or at least have a better experience that we did

A cosy restaurant , very nice food, warm interior design, also grazie mille to Elio for looking after us! Chiva Diamo!

Fabulous restaurant with lovely food and great staff. Sad to see it go.

The team really looked after us well, and we we a big group of 18 for my daughter's 21st. Sat upstairs, every person enjoyed their food and all meals arrived at very similar times. It was also Easter sunday - very impressed

Mrs P's Luxury Ice Cream and Coffee House is a hidden gem. We've called in on numerous occasions with our 4 your old grandson on the way back from The Little Lancashire Village in Rawtenstall. The approach to the shop is a little steep but there's a large free car park at the top of the hill that usually has spaces available. Mr's P's has a great selection of ice cream and sometimes has "guest" flavours available. On our most recent visit they were doing a Halloween themed flavour containing treacle, it was delicious. Our grandson usually takes ages to pick as there's so much choice! Seating is available if you want a coffee with your ice cream.

Went for a family meal staff were so friendly and fun and the food was amazing

A huge thank you to Davide, Eleanor and the team for making my mum's surprise party so special. You were incredibly accommodating, patient and welcoming. The food was lovely, too, especially that tiramisu!

Amazing food. According to the kids “best carbonara ever”. We loved the pizza too xx

Booked a table on line for my birthday. Myself, my wife and my son had a side order of garlic bread with tomato, pizzas, dessert alcoholic drink and coffee. The service was excellent, quick and friendly, the food was really good and I thought £115 with a tip was decent value. Highly recommended.

The food here is fantastic and the service is first class! The staff are professional and friendly and cater for a relaxed family or date night. We have eaten in here 4 times now and always had hot, delicious and fresh food!

Their 30% offer in feb post is misleading, to see how to get it you need to press on “more” on post so we were refused it, however chef / manager? agreed himself that it isnot the first time it is an issue. I commented on the post on instagram and was instantly blocked and comment removed. They also blocked me from the Elnecot acc, which I mentioned was fab (???). Their facebook has only good reviews on although only 86% recommend the Dokes - they clearly remove unfavorable ones on there. All in all it is crazy that reputable place like this has such a bad social media management and only allows good comments.

Will visit on family occasions 👍🙂

The restaurant interior was very nice and the staff (Sal) was extremely welcoming and looked after us. The food was better than I expected, the prawns especially!! The pizzas are a decent size and very tasty. The pasta looked and smelled good too. Overall, excellent. Will definitely be back 👌🏼🙌🏼
