Italia - WIRRAL

Nice restaurant with friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Food was very uninteresting and it lacked the quality of a genuine trattoria. Very much an Italian restaurant for English tastes.

We were lucky to find this great little Italian close to where we were staying in Port Sunlight village. Nice welcome and table found without reservation. Menu included nice specials as well as pizzas and pastas. Good quality food and the house wine, both red and white were very nice and excellent value. Lovely choc fondant for dessert. A great evening.

Booked a table via WhatsApp as instructed by the restaurants website. Arrived at the arranged time and “greeted” by a rude woman (possibly owner or manager? who said she had no record of our booking and I had not spoken to her. Kept interrupting me when I wanted to explain about the WhatsApp message. We required a high chair which I had made them aware of on the booking. No high chair available, rude lady then proposed we propped our 1 year old child on a cushion- clearly doesn’t have any concern about customer safety and only concern is making a profit. Told her we would go elsewhere. Such a shame because we have previously visited this restaurant and enjoyed our meal and time there, however due to how rude this woman was, we will not be back, would not want to give her our custom again. Also, waitress (who was very sweet and tried to help us appeared to be looking scared of her, possibly walking on egg shells around this rude and disrespectful woman. A message to this rude woman: learn to respect your customers and staff as your business is nothing without them.

Food not as good as expected, for example starter was poor ....ordered garlic prawns and what arrived was very small prawn/shrimps that had not been seared or marinated, they were served in a bowl of melted butter with 2 slices or thick dry white toast!!!.... Soup was edible but lacked flavour..... Not a good experiences based on food served. Would not revisit

We visited this restaurant for a date night after driving past it for years and thinking it looked adorable from the outside. It wasn't good. The food was hot and edible but not amazing. The mayonnaise came with a film on like it'd been left out too long and the bill for two of us was around £90. There are better places for better value around this area. The lighting is too bright, it feels disorganised and noisy rather than cosy and intimate. We won't go back. The only redeeming feature was the serving staff who were chatty and pleasant but less focused on the serving and more on the chatting. It was so expensive for what it was.
