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

We have eaten at Lorenzo’s a few times and the food has always been amazing and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. I booked to come for a meal on New Year’s Day (my wife’s birthday) through the website (which was incredibly easy to do). We arrived slightly early to find out we had the whole restaurant to ourselves - there were no other bookings. Lorenzo went that extra mile and it made it an extra special experience for us when he could have quite easily cancelled the booking and had the day off. The food was sublime and the Gavi was great. Lorenzo’s hosting skills were second to none and as well as cooking our beautiful food he came and talked to us- it was magical. If you’re in Frodsham and looking for a place to eat- you couldn’t beat Lorenzo’s.

Chef Rob Owen Brown runs this unique street food operation from Easter weekend to the end of October each year, Thurs -Sunday 4-9pm or thereabouts. It's situated in the grounds of a lovely marina in rural Cheshire, there are moored narrowboat here and wide open spaces for a long walk through the fields if that takes your fancy. The mainstay of the food that Rob cooks here is pizzas, but oh what pizzas they are! Thin crusts, charred and full of flavour with loads of different topping to choose from, believe me I've tried them they are delicious. He also offers a changing specials menu which could be almost anything. I've seen game offered, katsu chicken wraps, half a roast chicken with rosemary and garlic and loads of other things too. There's always puddings, waffles sometimes and cheesecakes. You never quite know what's going to be going to be on, but it will be worth a visit and be delicious. This evening I had roasted sea bream with Mediterranean vegetables and garlic potatoes, it was fabulous. This is such an unusual venue, it's hard to give a realistic view of it. The food is amazing and next to the food cart is a re-purposed narrowboat ( out of the water) which serves as a mini pub. Loads of wines, beers on tap and bottled too, spirits and a comprensive range of alcohol free drinks. If that isn't enough there's glamping, camping and a lovely onsite cafe. Just come, it's amazing xx

Food was fantastic however rhea the shared owner was rude, unreceptive and overall not the experience we were expecting so shall not be returning

Dreadful. Gave us a ‘forfeit’ charge due to being loud, and 2 of our 20 table not being able to attend. Both ladies had contacted the restaurant in advance to advise, and had paid a £10 deposit for security to Artezzan which should understandably be kept. An extra forfeit-charge of £30 plus rude staff - how about you just don’t take large parties? Just a suggestion. Oh and the food was awful.

I will set the scene. It is 3.00pm on a Thursday afternoon. Only 1 other table dining at this time, and they were clearly about to leave. We are staying in the area on business and have walked past it many times. A day off and a stroll out to try after reading the reviews. So we are, what I assumed to be an unexpected welcome table for 2. Wrong. We were shown to a table for 2 at the back under a speaker. We were given menus, and a drinks order was taken. No draught beer, only bottles, in an 80+ seater restaurant? The drinks were delivered promptly. After 15 minutes, yes, 15 minutes, I got up to go and ask if there was any chance of her taking our order? The order was actually taken while I was in the loo! The food was delicious. Salami pizza and salmon tagliatelle. A complimentary limoncello was served with the bill. Will we return? Doubtful. Even though we are here for another 3 weeks.

The best food I ever had, friendly staff, good atmosphere.

Booked in advance to come here on Friday night 7.00 with my partner ,we where waiting at the door while the manager got tables for other people ,we where left high and dry 30 mins basically at the door and he didn’t give any thought for us even though we had booked previously ,I can only describe the experience as organised chaos ,rude obnoxious staff also we had no option but to leave as we Wernt given any attention at all giving tables to customers who hadn’t even booked previously disgusting behaviour ending up leaving you all should be ashamed of yourselves inc rude customers who couldn’t wait , also the lighting was dark and customers seamed rowdy loud wrong place for birthday celebrations load banging of pans ,it’s not a nightclub ,manager seamed more interested in filling the place full of unbookings ,do not book because the manager doesn’t take you seriously or care and has an aggressive attitude towards his customers at all would much rather give tables to anybody on the streets the restaurant was far from quiet and had the wrong sort of people dining in there 👍 1 star 🌟 poor customer service, poor attentive behaviour towards customer bookings and losing genuine customers doesn’t seam to bother them !! Wont ever be returning you where lucky I gave 1 star review 😔

A lovely meal - all dishes were really great. Fresh salad, tasty food. Also, fantastic service from Kate who was excellent. Thank you

A friend's birthday at this pizza place! The staff was friendly and accommodating, even letting us bring our own cake and lighting it for us without any issues. The atmosphere was great, and the pizza was delicious. It made for a memorable celebration — highly recommend!"

Spent the evening enjoying a meal with my family for my Birthday and Mother's Day. The atmosphere was buzzing. The food was delicious and staff were excellent. We were kindly offered a complimentary glass of proseco for my Birthday. I would highly recommend and will be back.

Luis was absolutely fantastic. My partner called him in advance to book a table to suit his personal needs. Luis offered us a few different options and was so kind and understanding. I can’t praise him enough. The hospitality was extended by his colleague Daisy who was also lovely and catered to all our needs. Recommend an Ameretto Sour :p

Veenos is perfect for a great wine and bite to eat.Pratima was a perfect host explaining the menu and wines selection.As it was mid week the offer was a bottle of wine and free grande platter. Both wine and food were excellent. Thank you Ellis!. Lovely evening thank you ladies.

We were a group of 7 friends, celebrating a special occasion. We had a fabulous meal at Pacinos. We had 2 courses each and all the food was freshly made and delicious. The staff are all lovely too. We will defo be back.

So we moved up from London in August 2023 and have been wanting for tasting menus since, its out couples thing. Danoi was our first "'tup Norff" menu post getting settled. The restaurant is all about the tasting menu. Of particular note is the wine pairing which picks up very nicely on the on the soil and water properties of the Tuscan region paired really well with great food. In general the premium wine pairing is worth going for - we tried both Classic and Premium on our visit, we noticed only one exception here. Of particular note for us was: The La Vellutata (Potato Veloute/black caviar/white chocolate) paired with 2021 Langhe DOC "Nascetta" - this was the classic collection exception - it was excellent and especially pulled on undertones of glacial run off water filtered by CLay and Glacial deposit - took me back to mountaineering, a great memory. The Beef Tartare served with a mustard Gelato was a new taste for us and both loved it. The pairing with the 2015 Langhe DOC "Quatr Nas" made us both pause to appreciate what we had just had. Another pairing worth a mention was the Ox Cheek paired with 2016 Barlo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" The cheese course is technically fantastic but for me was too much, we should have shared one between 2. It was worth being stuffed senseless though for the pairing of the 2016 Barolo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" Overall a fantastic experience. We did also visit the family's Gelato shop the next day, also worth a visit and really made us see where the Mustard Gelato came from - a great extra detail forming an overall fantastic experience.

Why did this place take an on line booking, confirm it,, AND NOT Tell us you were CLOSED!!!! Angry. Cost us a taxi fare and a ruined evening
