The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

I loved this place, always visited when we stayed at the Cresta Court airport hotel down the road. Always a friendly welcome, fabulous food, incredible cocktails. We were so sad to turn up and find it closed. I've recommended this to lots of my friends. I hope it will re-open one day as it was really missed on our last visit

We’re regular lunchtime visitors. All the food is excellent and the baked potatoes are the best I’ve ever had. Delicious fillings and skin lovely and crispy. The wraps are superb as well and very substantial. The dishes come with a lovely side salad, sweet chilli dip and coleslaw. Night time menu is also excellent and highly recommend the meatballs. Our boys love the pizzas. BYOB is a bonus as well. Great service, great food and great staff. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Booked to go here tonight to celebrate granddaughters a level results only to find find they were closed .. . Booked 3 weeks ago , would have been nice to have been informed that they were close!!@ We went to Dolmus Italia and had a lovely meal were very accommodating and had a lovely meal. We'll recommend.

Very quiet on a Thursday at 7.30pm, only 2 other tables ( of 4 and 2 people). The food was very fresh and hot, friendly female owner. Very good value for money on the Groupon voucher for a three course meal. My only negative was that on my calabrese pizza there was excessive diced onion which was only just cooked and we weren't offered parmazan for our starters or pasta.

A hidden gem! We absolutely love The Italian and we’ve been several times since moving to Romiley in summer 2024. Delicious food which offers great value for money. The portion sizes are always generous. Can’t fault the service - the staff have always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. We love The Italian and will continue to support this fab local business!

The most authentic Italian food I've eaten in a long time. Served in a relaxed style, very generous portions and great tasting desserts.

Best ribs I've ever had followed by a fabulous lasagne. My hubby had the calzone, beautiful dough and packed with filling. Would be a regular patron if we lived closer. Mario is a wonderful host and his staff are brilliant, friendly attentive and not at all pushy but watchful for when you need another drink

My friend and I were visiting Crosby and decided to stop for lunch. Food OK but service awful. Young girl pleasant, can't say the same about the older woman who served our food. No smile, no pleasantries, i wouldn't say she was rude but her attitude wasn't. If you work in hospitality, be hospitable. A smile goes a long way. Won't go back.

Clearly very popular but despite being busy the staff found a table for our party of 4. Great coffee and a fabulous menu choice. The staff were very helpful, efficient and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Exactly what pizza should be! Great options, fresh ingredients and speedy to the table. All of it was great but the dips were easily some of the best pizza dips we’ve ever had - had to take the leftovers home.

I visited the Slice pizza at Oxford Road station (not the one pictured on here), and I'd just like to say what a lovely experience I had. I was greeted by a lovely young man wearing glasses, I think his name was Wilf. He was friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. It's really lovely to experience such good customer service. I would visit again in light of this. Pizza was also delicious. Thanks

Overpriced and rude staff, terrible atmosphere. Really trying to be a big city experience but the only thing that resembles a big city experience are the big city prices.

Although it is rumoured to be closed for redecoration many locals believe it will not re-open as planned. This is a shame as they served consistently good food.

I had high expectations after the previous reviews. We visited at 5pm on a Friday,which was happy hour and both ordered a lasagne and a salad after about 10 minutes this arrived,there was no bread or bechamel cheese sauce,I asked about the bread and was told that ,even though on the menu,you didn't get this on the happy hour which I wasn't told before and so didn't ask about the missing sauce,that some others had.I then had dessert and I wanted the Panna cotta which I was told they had,and then didnt, as I wasn't keen on chocolate or coffee,I had biscoffi cheesecake,which tasted ok but was very thick and heavy and stuck to the spoon,I mostly left this,which noone queried and I have never done this before.I was disappointed and not sure I will return.

Booked on line for 6 o clock on the 4th of January the restaurant was closed on arrival there was no mention of this on there web site why did they take my booking? Very disappointed.
