The best restaurants serving Italian food in Nantwich South and Stapeley Cheshire East North West

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.

Lovely evening at Olea for a private party with family and friends. Could not fault anything. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The atmosphere was perfect. All friends and family sent compliments. I would totally recommend a visit

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of 11 friends. Firstly we were asked to pre-order as a large group which we did but I don't think this works for tapas. The food was tasty, well cooked & presented nicely, cannot fault the food. However, the service was terrible, despite there being a lot of Staff on duty, we felt ignored by them. The restaurant was not busy but the staff were pretty much not there. We were ignored when arriving, one friend waited 20 minutes for a gin & tonic on arrival, when chased, response was rude not apologetic at all. We were not asked if anything was alright until we had finished, nor if we needed anything else and did not have the opportunity to order any more drinks than what we ordered on arrival as no staff came near the table. We would have had a lot more drinks if able to order so the restaurant missed out here. Turns out the young inexperienced staff felt no need to be present in the restaurant to respond to our needs but were more concerned with what appeared to be socialising and eating around the bar. There is a lack of supervision of the waiting on staff, hence we purposefully left no tip. Sadly despite the food being good & the ambiance & decor being lovely, we will not visit again as the staff are so inattentive. Sadly despite Sadly despite
