Reviews in Altrincham

A very good and popular italian with a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. The kind of place you could stay all night (if there weren't a queue waiting for tables....) Only down side is there is nowhere to escape smokers. Certainly my favourite place to eat out without any pretence. Specials board is good, but I can never resist the pizza 'pastie' calzone which is excellent (I'm such a peasant...) If there is a birthday, everybody will join in with the sing-song - you know you're with a happy and comfortable clientele when people do that sort of thing. Not for the claustrophobic amongst you.

very good meal. ecxellent suroundings. lovely

super home cooked food. lovely staff. ecxellent location in the middle of a deer park. Loved it!

This long-established restaurant still retains its original wine-bar atmosphere, with under-sized tables, plank floors, and informality. Don't expect luxury or slick trendiness here, but do expect to eat well. There is an extensive a la carte menu -- expect £60+ for 3 courses plus modest wine for two - and cheaper, but more restricted fixed price menus. Food is carefully cooked and well-presented, and obviously appreciated by the relaxed clientele on the very busy Thursday night I visited. Yes, packed on a Thursday! The big let-down is the clumsy service. Well-meaning, friendly young people dash and bumble around, but a few well-trained waiters would do much to justify the prices.
