The best restaurants serving Italian food in Wirral North West

We’ve visited the restaurant a few times now. Tasty pizza and friendly service. Perfect for a relaxed family dinner. I think the pizzas are slightly overpriced compared to my favourite pizzerias in Liverpool City Centre. I was also surprised to see that the takeaway menu is the same price as the sit in menu. If it was slightly cheaper (say 20% discount for takeout ) I’d be more inclined to order regularly. We’ll definitely still return as it’s still one of the best family friendly dinning options in the village :)

...I thought long and hard whether to review at all, but whilst I like good local restaurants, there are certainly better ones than this and at £90 plus for 4 you might be better spending your hard earned elsewhere in this instance... We went over Easter and it did feel a little Fawlty Towers when asking what wine they had to be effectively told they had two types - red & white, and that's it, two bottles of white, one of red. We ordered starters which took about 50 mins to come and they'd nipped out in the meantime to buy the Italian meats I suspect (we did see them go out and come back ten mins later). They also said that the focaccia was fresh but unfortunately it was far from it. The mains were woeful - we all went classic - Chicken Milanese (which used the wrong sauce), meatballs (which were actually Spag Bol), Parma Ham & Mushroom pizza ( the base was so tough you couldn't cut through it) and Carbonara (which to be fair was ok). In the end we laughed and put it down to experience but our friends decided to bring up the meatballs issue - the lady was apparently visibly upset but blamed the chef and didn't try to remedy the situation. They often say you know how good a restaurant is by how they deal with problems, and this one didn't... There's not a lot of alternative in Hoylake, but what there is significantly better than Bella Mamma's.

Este es uno de los mejores de la pizzería alrededor. Su comida es normalmente de alta calidad y rápido para entregar.

We had a family xmas meal for 5 adults a child and a baby. Our daughter was well catered for with colouring and activities provided and a kids menu with plenty of choice . Considering it was saturday afternoon it was very quiet which worried me. Unfortunately the food was very hit and miss , the menu had lots of choice . We all enjoyed the starters but the mains were disappointing , pizza’s were good apart from the gluten free option which my sister found inedible. Myself , my other sister and my daughter all had pasta which was watery and tasteless , they all had to be sent back . The staff were lovely and apologised and gave us an explanation as to why our pasta dishes were so watery . The pasta dishes were removed from the bill and new dishes were offered but we were put off by the taste and didn’t take them up on this offer . Sadly we didn’t have a good experience and wouldn’t go back based on the food but the staff were all lovely and couldn’t have done more to rectify the issues .

We now live in New Zealand but travel frequently back to the Wirral. We have been coming to this restaurant for 34 years! It is a pilgrimage for us, and we are never disappointed. We love this food and the friendly service. As vegetarians, we are well catered for, and the wine is perfectly matched to the homely Italian food. We absolutely love this place, highly recommended.

Nope. Don't. Mistake. Pepper. Milk. Avoid the lamb burger. Warm cream mushroom. Why try, when the word try means, make an effort to do something. No effort was made.

I really enjoyed the spaghetti bolognaise it was lovely

The food and atmosphere was lovely, have already booked to come again as it was so amazing.

It's a take away with tables, work might out,so a feq of us, food took long time to come, over 30 mins, was lovely food, would not eat in again to crammed, would do take away......

Ordered food, said 40 min delivery, waited over an hour and when I asked how long it would be they stuck another 40-50 mins on the order wait time . I phone regarding a small issue with the online order and was met with a vile man who clearly doesn't like his job very much, he proceeded to argue with me and say the food had been sent out an hour prior to the phone call and there was nothing he could do and that it was my fault. I explained that he had prolonged the wait time by 40 mins and from what I could see it hadn't left yet so the small issue could be easily resolved and he argued with that too, he then went back and checked and gave me the delivery man's number, the food hadn't left yet after all the shouting and blame gaming from him. Luckily the delivery driver was lovely and helped me with the issue with no complaints. Unfortunately the food was stone cold when it arrived and to be honest I'd lost my appetite after dealing with such a horrible person. From what I've seen on other sites I'm not the first person he's done this too.

I used to rate this takeaway highly and always recommended it and was a regular customer but the past couple we have had have been awful so unfortunately we won’t be ordering again. Tonight we waited an hour and a half for cold, greasy and soggy food. Last time we had meat from a kebab that was that tough it could’ve been mistaken for an old leather boot and a burger that would’ve made a good frisbee. So it’s a no from me

Still waiting for my food now 2 hours ! Poor service no one answers the phone when you call to se where your order is
