The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cheshire East North West

Takeaway is amazing hot and delicious. They are always accommodating with my requests. The new pasta is so good too. Keep up the good work

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!

They're all so lovely in here and service is always with a smile 🫶 Why this cafe stands out in this town: 1) Open on a Sunday with Dine-In 2) Dining area out back for nice days 10/10

Staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere to eat lovely food.

A brilliant place to get together as a family. The service is always so friendly and the food consistently tasty. Would recommend

We visited after a lovely afternoon at the Nantwich Food Festival, it was lovely to relax in such nice surroundings after the hustle and bustle of the town. Our food was delicious, we enjoyed arancini and whipped burrata to start, very generous portions and really tasty. Followed by ricotta and parmesan filled ravioli in a rich tomato and basil sauce and perfectly cooked salmon with spinach, baby potatoes and the lightest honey walnut dressing. Both were so good. Service was the only area we felt lacking. The older gentleman was delightful as always, the two younger maitre d’s were a little surly, no smiling and aloof, which was a shame. Our tip was generous and received without any acknowledgement - disappointing. Food excellent, service less so. A shame. Will we return? Absolutely, I hope that they take this constructive feedback on board.

Amazing gluten free pizza and fries. Would order from them again! :)

Excellent meal and service was spot on.

Enjoyed a really lovely meal cooked to our specification and delicious. Would recommend

Lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and nice atmosphere 👌

Had lunch here today. Superb food at a very reasonable price and great customer service. Only given 4 stars for atmosphere as very quiet as it is a Monday. Would thoroughly recommend and will be returning.

Gorgeous food beautifully cooked. Excellent and very helpful staff. My first visit with friends but it definitely won’t be my last. Would recommend.

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.
