The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Lancashire North West

Very good authentic Italian food Service excellent Intimate comfortable atmosphere

I’ve visited a number of times, the food has always been excellent and the service has been just as good. I tried the sticky chicken for starter and it was amazing, followed by the slow roasted lamb which was great.

Visited this bar/restaurant with my daughter for a birthday get together. What an absolute gem this place is. Classy and clean interior, lovely ambiance and delicious food. Staff were incredibly kind and couldn’t have been more helpful. Have visited Ormskirk many times (daughter is at Uni there) but this was my first visit to the Old Post Office, definitely won’t be my last. Overall fabulous place! Thank you

The food is amazing and staff are very welcoming,polite and friendly. It's in a nice location and gives a warm a cosy vibe

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

Waited 30 mins to order when only 3 other couples in the restaurant. Food then took an hour to arrive and when arrived was so disappointing. Waitress did her best , our fourth time but will certainly be our last !

I’ve had 3 experiences with Luca at the buck and non of them were great. The first time we had booked online to visit on a Monday, when myself and my friends met up at the restaurant we were turned away and told it was shut on a Monday, this was despite being able to book online. Both other times when we have managed to eat we found the food to either be really spicy or just bland. The chicken Milanese and the pizzas are worth getting. The calamari although well presented was one of the worst I’ve ever had. The carbonara is bland and the hummus itself was nice but served with crudités not bread. I find the service is always slow in here (even when it was spitroast) we almost always get our food before our drinks. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless you were really stuck for choice, the Luca in Allerton is much better.

We have been here several times over the last few years as we love the food and have never had a bad experience with it. Our latest visit for my wife's birthday was a mixed experience for us. The food was superb as always but we were let down massively by the service. The staff are all very friendly but there appeared to be no management of the staff. There did not appear to be a server assigned to a group of tables rather each member of staff just served who they could. The problem with that is that none of the staff appeared to know what each other member of staff had done or not done and didn't know were tables were up to. We were left feeling abandoned and had to flag staff down to order more drinks and then subsequently chase drinks and also chasing staff to provide us with dessert menus. Overall a disappointing experience for my wife's birthday.

Our meal this evening was outstanding, service was excellent , can’t wait to visit again soon.
