The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cheshire East North West

I wish now that we had tried the food - we were a 'walk-in' and were seated quickly but after considering the menu we decided to try elsewhere - the ambience was a little lacking and the menu a little limited, especially for vegetarians. There was a table with quite loud children and as there was no background music or soft furnishings it was a bit grating. Plus we hadn't realised it was BYO for wine. At least one dish marked as vegetarian listed meat which always makes me a bit nervous. But will give it a go another day.

Shop side has good range of local products and luxury additions - cafe nicely laid out and welcoming. Wine & beer available. We had a late sandwich lunch - Brie & bacon was well filled and beautifully melting. Roast beef sandwiches were tasty and had epic horseradish and piquant crunchy salad on the side.

I came here with a friend for lunch on Saturday a few weeks back. I had heard about their fresh pasta and really wanted to give it a go! I ordered the fresh spaghetti with basil sauce & cherry tomatoes. The pasta was absolutely stunning, I've never had fresh pasta like it before! Texture was wonderful, and the basil sauce was great too! The venue itself is great, very sunny and bright with a glass roof, lots of space to sit! I don't believe that they're on the Capital Walk app, so you have to go up and order manually. Staff are very friendly and happy to talk about their food. Next time I really want to try some of the other pastas they have available, and a pizza! If you're in Congleton and looking for somewhere to eat, I highly recommend this place!

Really pleasant people good value for money

Great food and excellent service

Went in with 12 friends for a birthday meal. All the team we're friendly and accommodating. Starters came out quite fast and we're piping hot. Main courses were also great. Good portion sizes and pricing was as expected. There was a high automatic service charge of put on the bill but the staff were quick to tell us it was suggested not expected. We did leave a tip but not as much as what was on the bill. We will definitely be returning.

Had takeaway pizzas this time. All 5 pizzas were delicious, hot, fresh tasty, this is one of my favourite takeaways and restaurants.

We enjoy a visit to Romazzino and have previously commented that whilst the food has been excellent the service has been a bit hit and miss……not this time, both were fabulous. Our food was excellent, spaghetti carbonara with chicken and fillet steak, the carbonara was delicious, the steak delectable. The service was fantastic, our waitress (lovely young lady with blond hair, our booking was 6.15pm, 2/3) was fabulous, the food excellent as was the ambiance, lots of birthday celebrations as well as groups and couples having just the best evening. Highly recommended.

Always consistent food that’s gluten free and tastes incredible. The delivery always arrives early and the service is impeccable!

My absolute favourite restaurant, freshly cooked food, and beautiful wine. Such a friendly team who works and owns it. I have been going for 13 years and still my favourite restaurant my daughter also loves going and requests to go as much as me.

Had a wonderful meal for two tonight at Don Alberto in Holmes Chapel. We’ve passed many times driving home & finally dropped in. What a fantastic surprise - Lovely interior & ambiance. Well set out with good spacing between tables. Kieron announced he was looking after us. We had a seafood linguini & chicken carbonara mains. We arrived quite late - only an hour before closing but the guys were great & all the food was beautifully cooked, so compliments to the chef. On Kieron’s recommendation I’d sampled their own micro brewery Don Alberto lager & again all good. Pristine white cloth napkins was also a big tick. Kieron looked after us really well. Nothing too much trouble. He even gave us the details of the restaurants Spotify background music. When U drop in on a place & it’s this good it makes the evening. It’s a great little find for us & we should’ve called in years ago.

A high class restaurant, with a good choice of food, wine and cocktails. The service was a little slow, but suited us as a larger group. The quality of food was really good and I would recommend. A*

I had garlic bread for starters but there wasn't much garlic on the bread then, worst of all, I ordered a pizza and had to eat it with a knife and fork because it all slipped off the end due to having been frozen and reheated. The Tiramusu was very tasty though!

Quite possibly the worst chicken Caesar salad known to man. Sliced pre cooked chicken on a questionable sauce, the chicken was dry and tasted of wet dog. So was definitely reheated. My friends pasta was undercooked- extreme Aldente.

We used to love Ciao and was hoping for an amazing Italian. Social just lacked that friendly, Italian feel. Service lacks warmth and personality. It was quiet enough to take the time to smile at least and engage with the customers. Food is nice enough but cold and not presented brilliantly. Tiramisu had hair in it and rubbish bag left in the hallway as you walked to toilets. One of my little girls banged her head and the bar staff just looked over and carried on laughing and chatting. Ciao used to make the children feel special and that’s why they wanted to eat there! Food is expensive for what it is.
