The best restaurants serving Italian food in Wirral North West

Best gelato I've ever tasted and I've been to Italy a few times couldn't recommend a better taste anywhere

Went here based on the tripadvisor reviews - and the food pictures! Food looked pretty good. And it WAS good. Great food and fantastic staff, 10/10 would go again without hesitation.

Such a lovely all round evening, the staff were so available and professional, the facility is completely authentic and in pristine condition, the stringed orchestra was absolutely impeccable. We were treated by my Daughter and future Son in Law and couldn't have a more perfect evening. The food was 1st class but the main portion was too big ... as if that's a complaint! Stands up as one of the best nights out in Wirral.

Food was great, waiter was helpful and also good fun. But after the mains the wait for desserts was long and the wait for the bill too. Just spoilt what was a tasty meal.

Excellent as always! Amazing service! Kelsie is always friendly and lights up the restaurant. Can’t Recommend the carbonara enough!

I have been to Scrando's many times and it never fails. Whether you are on a pub crawl or a family looking for a place to eat that will actually accommodate kids (rare in Hoylake) then this place is a real gem. The menu is tailored to be American Fast Food but there are often specials in addition to the main menu, likewise there are often themed days that kids love added into the mix (see facebook). For those on a budget they often do deals and on this particular day when I went, my youngest ate for a quid which included a burger, fries and a fruit shoot. Likewise, we had the four beers for £12 deal which in the summer is brilliant value. It's one of the best eateries in Hoylake. Granted many will go to pubs or restaurants if they are going out with friends but for those that want a quick bite or looking for a place that actually wants kids there, this place is not to be missed.

Although lovely food, honestly I can't fault that atall. The cafe itself is loud, small and very over priced for what it is, milkshakes are nice but again over priced given that you can get the exact same in plenty of milkshake shops or waffle bars, nice as a one off but won't be going back

Pizzas, muscles and arancini balls. Enjoyable meal. Tasty pizza and my partner loved the muscles.

I've ordered several times and the quality is consistently good.

Excellent pizza. Tasty dough that was cooked to perfection. Great authentic flavour. Recommended.

Visited Villa Venezia with friends. As it was lunch time we took advantage of the small dishes which were in fact a very generous portion. The service was excellent with no waiting for our meals the staff were very friendly hope to return soon

Took my daughter and her friends to celebrate her 13th Birthday , so 2 tables , one for the girls , one for my wife and step mum. The staff were amazing , welcoming and friendly as always, the food was delicious , they allowed us to serve my wife's home made cake , sing happy birthday etc . Couldn't nor have asked for a better time , so a huge thank you to Est for a brilliant day

Perfect food Perfect service Perfect prices Perfect restaurant Perfect experience Steak and pasta out of this world Faultless

Bizarre customer service... We enjoyed excellent meals at Portofino New Brighton, over several months, but on this occasion we have have been put off from going there again. On the plus side, the food quality is normally excellent , and on most visits staff were attentive and helpful, but one of the young Italian waiters is unfortunately not good at English, and this impacts on service; he often has to refer questions to his manager, because he doesn't understand them. He doesn't even understand some basic restaurant terms, such as 'gluten' On this latest occasion though, it was the manager who took our food orders; his English is good, but the Sea Bass my partner ordered, came with a completely unrecognisable sauce, not one described on the menu. She also suspected that the sea bass was mackerel (or another different fish). When my partner questioned him, he was adamant that it was sea bass, but bizarrely said that "we sometimes change the sauces". Er, no....I thought, restaurants do not "change sauces" without discussion with the customer. The manager also offered to go to the kitchen to discuss the matter with the chef and he would " come back shortly" But he didn't return. At all, ever..... He hadn't left the restaurant because we saw him chatting to other customers at the bar, on our way out. At the same sitting, I was given Ravioli in a rather sickly cream sauce, instead of the Canneloni dish which I had ordered. I didn't complain because we had already questioned my partners dish, so I just eat the meal, which I didn't enjoy. So this restaurant has lost 2 regular customers due to what appeared to be odd, bizarre behaviour by the manager. I notice that Portofino, New Brighton, don't respond to any of these reviews; They obviously don't care, not interested. They should be . If you go there, be careful that the staff have properly understood your order, and reject it if it isn't exactly what you ordered , is my advice.
