The best restaurants serving Italian food in North West

I used to go there in the past and food was better ,but yesterday took the grandkids ,and the food was very disappointing for 130 pounds .I had penne pollo Di fungio which had 3 small pieces of chicken ,spaggeti was not cooked properly(i had pasta not penne) drenched in wat felt like 2 kg of salt and drenched in a brown sauce with lots of mushrooms, wen the menu says chicken cream and mushrooms and wine why does it turn out brown?,my wife had carbonara ,also very salty,spaggeti very hard,and again very brown, bear in mind we didnt it meant to b white pasta, i thought carbonara meant to be creamy white, and ended up eating a lot of garlic bread ,which was also very soggy, very dissapointing overall will not be returning in that restaurant again.staff were good,there wen u need them ,,

Food and service great as always, make sure Francesco is your server 🇮🇹

We visited this eatery after leaving another local restaurant due to bad service and what a lovely greeting we got from the owner and shown directly to our table. The owner asked if we had been before and when we replied no he explained how the service operated. He informed us as to the set charge as the tapas is all you can eat for a very reasonable set price. We tried just about everything on the menu and it was all cooked and prepared beautifully. Very nice place with very nice staff.

The best meal me and my partner have had in a while whilst dining out. Everything so tasty would definitely return. My favorite Italian restaurant so far.

Went with some family on Tuesday night for the first time. Had a brilliant night and the food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meal, from fresh salmon to lobster ravioli! The staff couldn’t have been friendlier - they were supposed to be closing and didn’t rush us to finish our drinks. Whilst we aren’t local, we will definitely return. Thank you again for a great evening.

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

Had a fantastic meal on Sunday - the seafood pasta especially was the nicest pasta I’ve ever had. Thanks to Pilione for looking after us and making it such a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend visiting if you want the best Italian food this side of Italy! 🇮🇹

We ordered some ‘gluten free’ pizzas here. 2 x pizzas. 2 x gluten free garlic breads and 1 x gf pasta. It was the worst pizza take away we have ever had. We ate about 1/4 of the food and we are not fussy at all. The base was so dry and chewy and ridiculously crispy it could have taken a filling out. The topping was not even decent. I ordered 1 x tomato and 1 x cheese garlic bread and we got 2 x cheese just to top it all off. The pasta was watery and tasteless. If you are a coeliac avoid here like the plague. They have absolutely no idea at all. They didn’t even want to try to isolate the food. I was told upon ordering that the pizzas would be in a shared oven which is fine. I understand that. We get that everywhere but I asked the girl are they put on a tray and I was told yes. Then I turned up and they were literally put in with the normal pizzas on the oven floor! Absolutely no concept of wheat cross contamination at all. I asked could they be put on trays and I was told no they were already in! I was met with attitude about how the whole oven will have wheat in the air. We are aware of that but at least TRY not to have the underneath of the pizzas where cross contamination mainly takes place isolated from where the wheat pizzas have been. Had the food at least been enjoyable I wouldn’t have gone out my way to write a review but it was awful. I can think of better ways to waste £35. We couldn’t even get half way through. It was terrible. I ended up making my partner egg and chips for tea it was that bad. They seriously need to just not even get involved in the gluten free pizza game. It is not their forte. The normal pizzas look good but their GF offering is inedible. Don’t lure people in under the impression you can do it. Take it off the menu and stick to what you know or buy in the bases like dominos and put them on trays!!

This afternoon I went to casa italia and I ordered two hot chocolate. I already know this place, and as soon as I entered no greeting, no one seat you in the table, all the tables are creammed each other and the lady seated us in a small table where I was tight with someone sitting behind me, but very close to me that I barely move. So I moved to another table myself. The hot chocolate came and it was good, but not too good as the Italian hot chocolate must to be tick and the hot chocolate I had was pale and milky, but the taste was good. The price for two hot chocolate was exaggerate 8 pounds. No customer service at all, no prices displayed in the items they sell and all the tables were dirty. It is a small place. It is not difficult clean 4 small tables and if you do this job, you must have a good customer service. I work in a restaurant and I know very well the job. This was my third time in domus italia and things hasn't change. I won't come back

We had our wedding reception in their private dining room . 26 of us fitted perfectly. The tables were decorated beautifully. Blair, Joanna and Gilda looked after us faultlessly with attention to detail to make our special day even more special. The food was amazing and hot .

I ordered from Ulverston Eats. They unexpectedly cancelled my order and closed the takeaway option. Poor.

Excellent cuisine and service every time we visit 5 stars 🌟

The food delivered was not as described on the menu... the "sauce" they put over my lamb was horrible, I didn't even want sauce. The lamb totally cooked through and none of the fat was trimmed before cooking. No chips as described, only about 5 half's of small roasted potatoes. Perhaps they should ge shown how to clear a table correctly.

This restaurant is fantastic, and we were served by Amanda who was funny and very helpful. We had the Torino dish, which was shared between us as a couple, and it was half Bolognese and half Carbonara, what a fantastic idea. My partner is in a wheelchair and there is a small step and no wheelchair toilet, but as long as you take this into account, they are fantastic. This was our second time and we will be back again when we are next in town, for our third serving of Torino.

Waited 45 minutes for two pizzas, no other courses. A large party were being served after we came in, we were repeatedly told to wait another 5 minutes. No drinks or complimentary dishes were offered. Other tables were served food before us. However, pizzas were good.
