The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cheadle and Gatley Stockport North West

I absolutely love this bar !!! I have been in for the past two weekends, after a meal in restaurants in Gatley. The atmosphere, as soon as you walk in, is just so vibrant and the music is just brilliant.

I have been visiting this place for years. The couple that run it are so passionate about their food, everything is fresh and home made. You won’t find a better pizza anywhere and they do amazing lunch deals and sandwiches too, along with fresh coffee. Such a credit to Cheadle Village, would highly recommend.

We had a delicious lobster ravioli and prawn fettuccine. Portions were ample but not overwhelming. We had a very pleasant bottle of house white wine which was nice and cold. The proprietor was very honest in admitting that the tiramisu was unfortunately not homemade that day as the chef was on holiday so we had a good pistachio melt in the middle dessert instead.

Absolutely brilliant best fillet steaks we've ever had.

Our quest for good value lunches continues. And Piccolo certainly offers good value at £15 for two courses (and a tenner for just a main). And a goodly bit of variety – a dozen starters, followed by a range of salads, pizza and pasta dishes. It’s been there for years in the building built in 1841 as a Methodist chapel. So, bruschetta to start for one of us. Crisp, toasted bread topped with flavoursome chopped tomato and onion, drizzled with balsamic. That was followed by a very decent lasagne. For the other, fried squid rings in a crisp coating, with garlic mayo, followed by a Chicken Caesar salad. Good lunch

We celebrated my son's 18th at this restaurant and were so impressed with the quality of food, freshness of ingredients and divine taste! Which was topped off with the extra special attention and service given to is by our friendly waitress Sophie! Will definitely be returning here.

Went for a family meal out and booked for half 4. Starters for us all arrived after about 15 minutes... No problems at all. Then began the wait. And wait we did... Until 40 minutes later when the waitress came over to apologise for the delay and state they "definitely haven't forgotten us", and it's just a busy night. It was busy by then, but it wasn't when we arrived. Other people arrived, ate and left before we got our main meals. Pretty sure they did forget us! Mains arrived an hour and 20 minutes after we got there... Kids food was fine (thank god!) but the 2 adult pizzas were cold and burnt. Talk about juxtaposition! After another 15 minutes of attempting to grab the attention of the very busy staff, we finally got to send them back, complain and ask for the bill. And, wow. The waitress, said how sorry she was, then dropped "you must be so hungry!"... clearly missing a career as a detective, Sherlock Holmes then went to express our dissatisfaction to a manager, but not before asking if we wanted to take our pizzas home in a box... The pizzas we'd waited and hour and 20 minutes for and which we were trying to REJECT for being cold! The manager of course, could not care less. No apology, no discount offered on the kids food or starters, in fact she couldn't even be bothered to come to our table. She took the adult pizzas off the bill and that was that. So, all in all, a disaster of a visit. Slow service, a waitress who should clearly be given a job at CSI Cheadle, stone cold burnt food and a manager who couldn't care less about the satisfaction of the customer. It's pizza express, we don't expect Michelin Star food, but food that is hot is the minimum you expect really. We won't be returning, and I'd advise that nobody else frequents this venue either.
