The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

The Head Chef Maura is fantastic and professional at all times and even comes out and says hello which is a great personal touch. The bar manager India is amazing and one of the main reasons we come to the champagne bar and have been for the past 4 years, always professional and friendly and goes above and beyond for us.

Very friendly staff, amazing food and reasonable pricing. When we visited there wasn’t many other people and there was very fast service.

Is the microwave made in Italy ? Went here , worst meal I have ever had !!! Microwaved , or deep fried gloop

Got the combo mixed grill kebab can honestly say best I’ve ever had and I’d highly recommend it to anybody. 10/10. Nathan

I had never heard of this place before, but decided I wanted a change so gave it a go. Me and my partner both ordered pizza, chips and some other bits. The food came really fast and the delivery driver was excellent enough to not call me (before they have even arrived) and instead parked, got out of their car, rang my flat door and delivered to me then and there. MASSIVE plus, because waiting outside in the rain not knowing which car I'm supposed to be waving down is insanity. The pizza was a good change from the usual pizza available in Preston and we both really enjoyed it. It's similar to standard Italian style pizza honestly. Have to credit the pricing too, way cheaper than most places, especially as the food was great. Highly recommend, will be ordering again soon!

I go to the main post office every day more or less to take my bag of mail and i noticed a new takeaway next to roosters called COUSINS. The gentlemen who cooks their is actually a really good italian chef who was a head chef in a really busy good italian restaurant in chorley i ordered a pizza and i hate rubbish food but this was one of the nicest pizzas ive ever ,ever had in my life and i ended up having pizza all week as i couldnt get over how nice the pizzas are from their. It makes a nice change, I popped in for a burger today and it was just so delicious everything is made from scratch fresh pizza dough made the same day on them very premises with real mozzarella no carbage like most other takeaways and he does pasta dishes and spaghetti dishes which i have never tried. This is just what darwen needs in town a nice descent authentic italian takeaway doing nice quality fresh food cooked by a real Italian chef this is my new takeaway now always. No more dominos and no more driving to different towns for a pizza as hes open late and he even delivers to alot of locations outside darwen but i would highly recommend collecting at weekends especially as the nice gentlemen works on his own for now. For all you italian food lovers and pizza lovers i would highly recommend a visitor anyone who likes good food lovers to go and try and show this man some support in his new venture

We have been here a few times now, there is nothing that’s too much trouble for the staff always there to help and advise if your are u sure on what to have, And can give you good recommendations. As the saying goes “Enter as Strangers leave as friends..” this is true at this little gem of a restaurant. The food is always lovely and always has come out together when in a party which is a bonus... can’t recommend this place enough... it’s a must !!!

Excellent authentic Italian food in the restaurant in the Andrew Arms, Compstall. The food service is separate from the pub with a comfortable dining room. The food cooked by chef Vichenzo and served by his wife is Italian through and through. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful food at good price, which we will visit again and again. My pet hate is dogs in the dining room and there were none. I don't know if we were just lucky. Our favourite Italian.

Out of the many pizza express I have visited with my family I like this one the most. That's mostly down to the man that works there who has always made us feel really welcome even when it's really busy. He is fantastic. The food is as it always is. Good pizza and the kids deal is brilliant. Will be back again.

It felt like being at a restaurant from the 1990s. The waiting staff were friendly but the food was poor and expensive- too much cheese on the pizza which felt like a frozen one you'd buy from a supermarket. A brick of cheesecake for dessert.

We have been for a drinks a few times and the staff and place is great. The food looks amazing and always busy. We will definitely be booking for a meal very soon

Always amazing. Food is superb, staff are great. Owners are spot on. Location is really nice. Highly recommended!! Always an absolutely fantastic evening

Carbonara was swimming in sauce and garlic bread was cold. Disappointing wouldnt order again.

Totally disappointed with this cafe/restaurant. The 2 of us ordered a chicken salad each. 1 spring water, 1 cappuccino, 1 decade cappuccino, 2 Americano. Total cost £52.00 Ridiculous price, Total Rip Off. Will NOT be going there again. Definitely NOT recommended 🥲🥲

Had a lovely meal tonight and was looked after by Harriet, she was extremely accommodating. The food was fabulous we had mussels and garlic bread for starters and risotto and spicy rigatoni with a child’s portion of macaroni for Max, along with a double portion of chocolate ice cream. Very good value for money.
