The best restaurants serving Italian food in Elton Cheshire West and Chester North West

We (2 dinners) arrived around 2 pm for lunch, quickly seated and opted for the 3 course fix price lunch. Ordered our drinks, waited and made our choices, order taken. Reminded server about drinks, waited ...drinks arrived. Starters arrived 5 minutes later. Calamari nice with garnish. Garlic mushrooms with bread. The bread was burnt on the base, the garlic was far too strong ( I cook with fresh garlic in my kitchen, there is a balancing act that needs to be correct, not tasting it until the following day) no check from server to ask if food ok. Dishes cleared away.... asked for another round of drinks. Took quite a while for drinks to arrive. 1 bar staff 2 servers.... 1 guy drinking at the bar. Mains arrived eventually, chef forgot to put the pot of tartare sauce on fishcake plate, asked for it, waited, asked again, sauce arrived. Again heavy garlic on the pasta linguine. Picked our desserts choices...with a coffee. Dessert arrived no coffee, reminded staff, asked for bill, bill arrived. The servers had gone for break and bar staff was left to give coffee. Coffee was cold we were fed up chasing staff. It was now 3.30pm The bill was folded over with total showing and l went to bar to pay. Not happy, I know this brand and eaten elsewhere with no issues. Paid bill and left, checked bill much later when emptying receipts out of wallet and a 10% service charge had been added to the bill for 2 dining. My fault I guess for not checking receipt properly, I'm used to 8 dinners or more having a service charge. Not 2 pensioners, who normally tip if the food and service was good, this was not worth the £5.37 tip or "service charge". Bread burnt, no tartare sauce, cold coffee, heavy hand on the garlic mushrooms and pasta linguine. We were thinking of returning, however there are plenty of places to eat in the area.
