The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Lancashire North West

What a great find. We came for an early tea as we were going to an event. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and we were given a very warm welcome. The service was perfect and the pasta was the best I’ve tasted for years. Really flavourful, delicate and piping hot. Followed by scrummy ice cream. Even a perfect pot of tea, and that’s rare these days. Prices extremely reasonable. Definitely one to visit again. Thanks to the chef and lovely staff.

First time visiting with friends. Had heard food is good but service and atmosphere can be mixed. I can see why. Positives; menu differed from typical Italian fare which was good and there was a good vegan and vegetarian choice, plus an issue mix up with our table order was quickly resolved by (I think) manager FOH. Not so great was the atmosphere and also the attitude of a couple of members of staff who were slightly off hand and cold. I think we would return to see if the latter was a one off, as we did like the menu.

Really bad experience - waitress was so rude, judgemental and dismissive, immediately made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. My food was oddly oily which was off putting and led to it not even being eaten. The toilets weren’t stocked on either side of the restaurant. Usually a good place to go but likely won’t return after this time.

One of the best bars in Ormskirk

I visited here with colleagues for a mid-week evening meal. There are some great deals on such as early bird where you get three courses for £16.95. I opted for that as the options I was going to get for starter and main were on there anyway and it worked out cheaper to do that than order them from the main menu (plus I got dessert in the early bird price too!) Starter of fried halloumi was really nicely cooked and a perfect sized portion. My colleague had calamari but they felt it was a bit soggy for their liking. For main I had penne dolca vita which was really tasty, It was nicely cooked, had a decent kick and flavour and was suitably portioned. Dessert I had ice-cream which was fine. Overall we had a good evening here and the food was a standard expected of a good Italian restaurant. Service was friendly and generally efficient. Would recommend for a good value Italian meal

Turned up for a booking at 12 noon and they can’t be bothered to open. They even had the cheek to take a £10 deposit per person. Definitely wasn’t going to wait for them to be the only ones in there.

I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant, the whole experience was very disappointing. We waited 45 minutes for the table, 2 of the main pasta dishes were not available, several other tables had complaints, we waited another 40 minutes for the starters to arrive no one asked if everything was ok with our food, the portions were really small, 2 x2 inch pieces of what was supposed to be focaccia with the starter, cold main meals and really small portions again and no staff came to check if our meals were ok. Wouldn’t recommend.

Portions so small you'll be looking at the plate and wondering if it's actually edible, since you're guaranteed to be starving after finishing. I will never see a smaller pizza in my life. Very poor value for money overall.

Wonderful staff, nothing to much trouble. Food delicious 😋 We'll be back for my birthday 🎂 next week
