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!

What an experience food was amazing ask for the specials seafood platter was to die for Lucia the waitress amazing all the staff very welcoming x

Amazing tiny little place for lunch or breakfast. Outdoor seating is amazing in the sun.

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.

Booked late online, called in on our way home from Manchester show of Torvill and Dean on Sunday 4th May. Food was outstanding, great selection, wonderful staff and a beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Deliciously authentic Italian pizzas with a great selection of waffles too. Perfect for a takeaway with friends and also reasonably priced for the quality.

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.

We visited Casa Mia recently through a recommendation and hearing good things about this place. We had such a great time and have booked for a forthcoming event. We received such a great welcome from the Owner Lello & his Team and the fantastic service carried on throughout our time. This was a 3 course meal event and each course was beautifully described by either Lello or the Chef. We had an appetiser that was a small piece of bread with sundried tomatoes and olives and it was very yummy! Our first course was a beautiful dish that originated prior to Bruschetta! This was served with a creamy burrata and tomatoes and was so very tasty! Our Main was a rustic, tuscan beef stew with roasted potatoes and other vegetables and I really do love a stew and this was probably the finest I have ever eaten. Mrs K, being a vegetarian enjoyed the Vegetarian version with Quorn but was also told that if that wasn't to her liking she could choose something from the menu. Our sweet was a beautiful array of Chocolate, Raspberry sorbet and various orbs of different flavours that played a melody on our taste buds. As if this wasn't enough they also had a fab musician called "Lisa T" playing a range of chilled classics along with some of her own tunes. We had such a great night and we have booked the next event in the Calendar but I don't think we can wait that long so we will be going back in the next couple of weeks! Amo questo ristorante

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.

Just walked out without ordering. The place looks ok, quaint, independent, decent looking memo. Was shown to a table upstairs but after 15 minutes of no further attention was starting to get a bit annoyed. When the couple seated next to us had their order taken before us (and another earlier arriving party) we decided to leave.

Clearly very popular but despite being busy the staff found a table for our party of 4. Great coffee and a fabulous menu choice. The staff were very helpful, efficient and attentive. Would definitely recommend!
