The best restaurants serving Italian food in Sefton North West

We've walked past Il Capitano many a time , it's always busy . I now know why , tbh I'm not the biggest pizza fan . We got a caprese salad and garlic bread starter . Which is basically a pizza base with garlic and cheese topping . It's got to be one of the nicest gbs I've ever had . We bothe went for pasta dishes for the main course . Both the con fungi and ravioli were 10/10 freshly made pasta , beautiful. Although we never had a desert , they did look very nice to . Deffo be going back

We had a family party at my home for my Mum's birthday and ordered a few platters of sandwiches and grazing meats. We were so impressed with the variety of food we were given, the quantity and the superb presentation. The scotch eggs are amazing! It was so easy to lay the platters onto the table and let our guests dig in. There were lots of oohs and aahs and very little wastage as everything was so delicious. I can't recommend these caterers enough. They are now my go to place for future occasions.

First time visiting so not sure what to expect, we got 2 slices of pizza and nachos, I got meat feast, wife got chicken & sweetcorn (with added onion) nachos arrived first followed by the pizza. Slices were about 1/3 of a XL at a certain ‘spot pizza delivery’ served with dips as well. Drinks were a bottle of zero San Miguel (only zero beer they had, but it’s one of the nicer ones) and 2x187ml wine. All came to £25 so not too expensive for Southport and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat outside on a glorious Wednesday evening. Well recommended.

Best restaurant in southport for Italian needs. I had the pizza and was by far best pizza Ive ever had. Girlfriend had pasta and that was 10/10… will definitely be coming back here

Pasta 51 Express was fabulous ! Freshly cooked Italian food in a market environment. Southport market is made up of a myriad of kitchens with central seating and a huge affordable bar in the centre . Can’t rave enough about the freshly cooked spaghetti bolognaise at Pasta 51 Express. What a hidden gem the whole market is and so competively priced! Well done Southport .

This is a great place with big portions of food we definitely recommend ! The staff are helpful and the food is of good quality .

The food is amazing at this family run restaurant the ambiance ia wonderful and staff are terrific i would highly recommend this restaurant

Came here with my family (partner and children) on New Year’s Eve. We got our table from 7pm till 1am and what a night it was!! There was a live singer on who was amazing. It was a 4 course set menu which included filet steak, and the food was 10/10. After the singer finished there was a dj on upstair, we had intentions of leaving before midnight with the kids but it was such a good night we ended up staying, to our suprise there was fireworks set off at midnight. The food, service and whole experience was perfect, I cannot wait to come back.

It's ideal if you prefer a nice quiet chat and a good selection of drinks.

Shut & doesn’t look like the pictures so no idea what it’s like. Suggest you drive by before deciding as I cannot say it’s still in business

Had a fabulous meal this evening with work. The lamb was an absolute delight! Our waitresses Shemeen and Ellen were very attentive and a credit to the restaurant.

Such a special place. Top quality food, truly delicious. But also a family run restaurant and so friendly. Totally recommend.

There was 3 of us and each order of drinks were different. Bar service was awful so slow. There was a girl playing a guitar and singing well if you could call it that it was atrocious so out of tune. We were glad when she packed up and left. Definitely won't be going here again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone either.

Excellent service ,staff very helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding. especially the special menu. Everyone else had a wonderful time , we will be back.

Walked in and we were seated immediately. Food was excellent and service was friendly and fast. Loved the selection and atmosphere.
