The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

Thee Lucifer Sams are a hungry band and we take our epicurean adventures seriously. When a rehearsal gets cancelled for whatever reasons, we need to substitute that with food and drink. Though Al Dente has a pleasant vibe and friendly staff, our choice of food was very disappointing - a veggie pizza that looked no better than a Ristorante one you find in freezers all over the land - from the most drab cornershop to the biggest Tesco. We were hungry. We ate it. But a restaurant could and should offer something better!

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.

We try to visit often as we really love this place. the food, service and value are great. Highly recommended!

Passavo di lì quando sento profumo di pesce , e non conoscendo il posto sono entrato quella sera in cerca di qualcosa da mangiare. Sono andato via con: una bella porzione di fritture miste di pesce (il pesce spada? Inaspettato) , e un ancora più inaspettato arancino con i gamberetti che .. 5 stelle subito XD

I heard about this bakery from TikTok food bloggers. However, the experience was not good. I got a hot chocolate, a pastel de nata, and a cinnamon swirl. The hot chocolate was the tiniest hot chocolate I’ve ever been served. Like minuscule. Tre pastel de nata pastry was really hard and there was way too much custard in it. Sickly sweet and cloying. Also, the top was over torched and just burned. The cinnamon swirl, I’m not even going to start. Just no. I hate food waste and I still dumped it after two bites.

We went here with our friends from Stockton Heath. The food was really lovely and a great atmosphere. We were waited on by Anna who was very knowledgable about the food and the wines. She was also very friendly and smiley 😊

Absolutely delicious food, offering a great service, with lots of different, and healthy choices as well as the usual pies, sausage rolls - all home made I believe. A definite return for us

I raved about this place to my husband but we were both disappointed, they have changed the menu and I was looking forward to my previous chicken dish with mushroom sauce and pasta but it wasn't on and the replacement wasn't as good,my husbands chicken was stringy The service was lovely and the staff very efficient

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.

Perfect thin and crispy bases on the pizzas, best is town and great value for money. We go every week and always on point. Highly recommend

Carla was our waitress and she was so welcoming and helpful. Food was lovely and atmosphere was warm and friendly . Would recommend if you’re in the Albert Dock Liverpool area. Say hi to Carla as she is so lovely and will really look after you as she definitely made our trip more pleasant

We have been four times the first time I had cheese and onion each of the other times they had sold out of the pie Service and staff have always been first class We can not wait to return but for the cheese pie!

Ate here today with my daughter's and other family members and we can't fault it at all. We have eaten here several times and it is consistently beautiful food and always very good service. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

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

Fabulous tapas platter, absolutely delicious. Stupots offer a fantastic range of foods from sandwich’s to a Mediterranean delight! Delicious food, fantastic friendly service.
