The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

We have the privilege of living close to this restaurant so visit regularly.The food is always delicious, fresh and piping hot.The garlic bread is AMAZING. The portion sizes are very generous too. I just wish I had a bigger stomach to be able to fit more than one course in!!

Love it when a catering van comes to a camping site, so was really pleased to read that Magic Mountain Keswick pizza van was arriving on Friday. We preordered a Chorizo and Truffle Dream and arrived a few mins before collection time and they were just preparing them both. We’ve eaten many pizzas and have to say both of these were up there with best. Perfectly cooked with a lovely thin base and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed 👌🏼

After a day out at Blackpool Zoo we were looking for somewhere nearby for tea and, very fortunately, chose here. What a stroke of luck! Eat is a five minute drive from the Zoo and we managed to park immediately outside the restaurant. It's a small restaurant with lots of Italian themed artwork on the walls. We're a family of four with children aged four and one. Both children had penne pasta with Napoli sauce, which was a mild tomato based sauce. That was from the kids menu, which included chicken strips, Margherita pizza and spaghetti or penne bolognaise. Us adults had tortellini in crema (pasta in a creamy sauce with ham) and penne al salmone (pasta with a lovely creamy tomato sauce and pieces of salmon fillet). We had garlic bread too. Everything was delicious. We also had puddings. I had a rum baba and my wife had profiteroles. Again, they were delicious. It's a family run business and the lady that served us was lovely and friendly. She even asked if we would like our meals after the children had finished theirs, which we've never been asked before, despite eating out regularly with the kids. We're used to the chaos of us all trying to eat together, so we declined, but if you're spoon feeding a baby or have a really fussy eater then that gesture would be really helpful. We don't visit Blackpool too often as we live over an hour away but next time we're back, we'll definitely be visiting here again!

Being here earlier in the year, loved it x hubby surprised me with a little sneaky night away & we got a pod😛 img always wanted to stay in a pod ! Was super clean the shower was amazing & at first thought it would be could but boost the heating up was red hot!! The bedding linen etc were exceptionally clean honestly I can’t wait to go back!!! The staff, the locals are really lovely people ….. my only concern is I’m writing this & Steve & team get so booked up I won’t be able to get a room xxx we’ll find guys x bagel of a place x ❤️

The best kept secret in Lancaster. I’d heard a few people talk about this place so we decided to treat ourselves. We were not disappointed! This has made me never want a Pizza Hut/ Domino’s or Papa Johns pizza ever again. Freshly made with love and the best ingredients by the loveliest couple. We had a pizza salami and pizza empties, both delicious and they didn’t sit heavy like some pizzas do. The base was crispy and light. We sat and chatted for a few minutes whilst we waited for our pizzas and they are so kind and friendly. We weren’t sure when we drove around the industrial estate but we trusted ourselves and got to the right unit and knocked on the door. It was like a tiny piece of Italy in this small unit. Amazing!! We will definitely be back.. and telling no-one about this amazing place 😂🤭 so we can keep it to ourselves! Kidding of course!!

Food was so nice! We wish we’d tried here sooner. Parking right outside. Staff were lovely. Definitely be back soon x

Great visit! Friendly staff, great value, service and amazing menu! Didn’t book in advance but had a warm welcome and our dinner was delicious!

What a brilliant venue - came here to see Jamie Webster. The sound system was amazing, the staff were really friendly despite being so so busy!

A great Italian restaurant. The fresh pasta served is second to none! Extremely tasty and this has to be the best pasta in South Manchester. We were served by Adam who was charming and very knowledgeable.

Third time we have visited Ornellas, and every time it gets better and better, the food is amazing. You have to book well in advance as it’s that popular but keep an eye on the Facebook page for cancellations. This time I had the, Slow Cooked Marsala Beef Short Rib with Creamy Parmesan Gnocchi, it’s the most expensive thing on the menu, but it’s well worth it, for £19I can’t recommend this place highly enough..

Flavours you can’t quite put your finger on … absolute winner! Pasta but time to rethink smothering it in cheese as these gorgeously umami rich dishes are rich by in flavour and texture.

We were served by the charming Erin who knows her business. Her mum was trained in silver service and she must have passed on her skill set because our every need was catered for. The early bird special is a bargain but theres no compromise on the quality. All 3 courses were delicious and nourishing. After trying the Caribbean food in Droylsden we will be back to sample the ravioli in Hollingsworth

First timmers here. The food was excellent. I have never had a chicken breast skewer so succulent. Excellent and attentive but not rushed. All in all an excellent evening and thoroughly recommend

Great wines, lovely platters and cocktail. Great service, very helpful on choices. Highly recommended.

Great Italian food. Lovely staff. Top venue. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Quick service also.
