The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cheshire East North West

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

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!

amazing food, great staff highly recommend . The food is very fresh and delicious.i recommend to anyone who lives near.

We would love to thank Felipe for the wonderful service. Thank you so much for making our birthday celebration memorable, Felipe managed to get the whole restaurant to sing happy birthday. Fantastic food as always. Thank you.

On a very busy Saturday evening, the staff were attentive and personable, and all of the dishes served were very good, hot tasty, and well presented. We shall be returning. Thankyou.

Visited for New Year Eve lunch and were not disappointed. Great service, great atmosphere and delicious food. I had the hake and my husband had a pizza, both were cooked perfect and we throughly enjoyed our meal. The menu is very varied and plenty of choice. We can’t wait to visit again.

A tad delayed in collection but expected on a Friday evening. Food was delicious. Next time I will dine in

Lovely food and brilliant service.

The food was ok ,but the person that served me with the bad clothing i did'ent like how he spoke to me when i sed i book a table for 2 no need to be sarcastic, i would of walk out but it was my wife birthday ,and watch out for thier high service charge,

We arrived just before 7pm and it was crowded in the bar area with people waiting for tables so we got a drink and joined the chaos - no order, no queue just people standing so we assumed someone would shout table booking names out to ensure people got seated as per their booking time. How wrong I was! 7.43pm we were finally seated - because the maître d' seemed to have zero system in place nor respect for booking times and was just picking people he liked the look of it would seem. 8 couples were seated before us, all of which had told us they weren’t booked in until 7.30! At this point I had spoken to the maître d' and another member of staff twice to advise our booking was for 7pm and both times I was greeted with a smile and then they would pluck another couple from behind us that had arrived after us. It was a really, really poor start to our night and we were so hungry. So, so hungry. So hungry….. imagine our disappointment when we were finally seated to see a reduced menu! No mention of this on the website or social media or on OpenTable. Not only was the menu reduced it was pathetic, and I heard several other diners complaining around us of the same nature. Nothing on the menu was appealing to me so I opted for the Fillet. Being a steak connoisseur I was excited as a fillet can never be a bad option and I loveeeee steak. So in my 16 years of eating steak in restaurants, I’ve officially found the worst. It was chewy, bland and cold. The chips were anemic - my partners were over cooked. It was impossible to get a member of staffs attention to send it back, I waited around 15 minutes to get someone’s attention but by the time someone came over to check I just wanted to eat up and leave so I picked at the chips, left the steak and waited for the plates to be cleared so I could raise my complaint…. 25 minutes after finishing our plates were finally cleared. I raised my complaint and was met with ‘oh well we’ve sold loads of steak tonight and not had any complaints but I’ll tell the chef’.. great, no offer of a replacement or something to fill my absolutely empty stomach at this point (now 9.15pm). We asked for the bill, paid up and left. Left in such a rush we didn’t realise we’d paid a service charge!!!!!!!!! For what service?! Our night was ruined, I was starving so we agreed to call it a night and go home - our original plan was to go for a few drinks after as we don’t ever get time together due to our jobs and last night was our only opportunity having both finally got a night off to spend time together and it was ruined because you decided to over-stuff your restaurant, under deliver with the offerings and not provide any recompense for the poor experience. Judging by other reviews, I can see I wasn’t the only person who felt this way. You should refund those who have raised complaints and take this as a learning curve - limit your couverts, honour table bookings, so not prioritise walk ins (not once was our name taken to see if we had booked) and stop being greedy.

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!

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.
