Reviews in Blackpool

Having been to Manchester my wife and I continued on to Blackpool yesterday, 28th September, to see the Illuminations. We live near Southampton, and came across this rather swish Italian Restaurant called SAPORI - told that it had just opened. It certainly looked a cut above the other restaurants in the centre of the town. Went in and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly greetings of the staff, especially the Italians Peppe and Ignaze who I understand are the owners. We had a fantastic meal - cooked to perfection. The choices on the menu were superb and at very reasonable prices ( went for the Early Bird. which proved to be really good value) Before we left we were given complimentary liquors which completed a really wonderful evening. Can certainly recommend to any one looking for an Italian Restaurant that has that little bit special. Look forward to a future visit when next we come to Blackpool.

My hubby and I ate here on thursday 23rd, great meal, huge portions, great prices and very friendly staff. What more can I say! would definitely go back again.

nice local shop, off the beaten track from tourists and worth the drive as nothing worth eating nearer sea front.

We had our wedding reception in JK's on Saturday and the food was out of this world. All the staff were genuinely happy to help i was so pleased with the way it worked out. We had such an amazing time and all our guests commented on how wonderful the food and staff were. If we were to have any future events we would definitely go back to here without a doubt. Thank you to Kerry and all the wonderful staff for all you have done and making our day so special,.

what is it with Italian chain restaurants not marking off on their menu which dishes are suitable for vegetarians? Had this issue at Zizzi, Strada and now Frankie and Benny's This makes the menus difficult to navigate, and makes me more inclined to go to Pizza Express or Olive Press where the menus are easier to read and large V signs to let me know which options i can have. Despite this I had a most enjoyable meal at Frankie and Benny's. Nice friendly service, great food and a wonderful restaurant.

We ate here on Friday night and although the food was lovely the vegetarian options were sparse. There are quite a few starters to choose from but only one main! I ended up having two starters and a side dish instead of a main which was fine but it would have been nice to have more choice - another 1 or 2 would be good. The staff are very polite and attentive but the atmosphere was missing something that I couldn't put my finger on. I would give this place another go as it's not always fair to judge on one outing and like I said - the food was lovely.

Visited Sapori after looking on Sugarvine for an Italian, wouldn't normally go to Blackpool centre but Sapori looked really nice and had good reviews. We weren't disappointed, the food was fantastic, presentation was wonderful, service was brilliant. It was a wonderful evening in a lovely restaurant with wonderful food. We will definitely be back and recommend it to our friends.

Went again last night - it's still the best., and it's still relatively quiet. Suits me.

fantastico! The decor and ambience is a welcome relief to some of the more 'rustic' environments in other Blackpool Italian restaurants. The diner is met with warmth and the service attentive. But maybe the best is the food....lovely to taste home-made and authentic cuisine. In fact the only difficulty with this venue is actually deciding what to choose off the far-too-tempting menu options!

This restaurant is now the little gem of Layton - we call here for our lunch and as we are working, we don't have much time so - we call for one of their takeaways - the food is always cooked fresh by Greek chef Spiros and served by the delightful Glenda. Even if you think you are not into Greek food give Go-Greek a try you will be pleasantly surprised how delicious and tasty Greek food is.

It was a dark stormy day in Blackpool (imagine that?) and we were wet and hungry. We got in the car and drove around until we found a place we hadn't been to on the trip, The Cottage. The four of us ordered cod and chips. The lady asked if we would like mushy peas with it and we all fell around laughing because we are from the South (not our fault) but as we were on holiday we decided to try it for the first time. The plates were large and the fish was larger. A huge scoop of chips were then kept in place by a wall of mushy peas. Didn't really come to terms with the mushy peas but the cod and chips were unbelievably tasty. We went back there a couple of times before going home to see if we could bored with it, but found that we couldn't, it was that good.

I go out to eat in and around Blackpool alot, My partner and I went to this restaurant last night (saturday 11th Sept). We didnt have to wait long to be seated at all - the food was fantastic as was the service, all staff were very friendly and we were made to feel welcome, a side from the food the best thing about Sapori is the decor and atmosphere. All in all a very good meal. I will be going back and cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic new look Italian restaurant in Blackpool. Totally remodeled with new owners and an Italian Chic feel. Food is great and chosen from an equally great menu. A credit to Blackpool. Good luck to you both Ignazio and Peppe.

we were introduced to ocean palace by my mam and dad 5 years ago and have gone there at least twice a year since. not bad considering we live in county Durham! the food is the best food i have ever tasted the staff are lovely and we always have an enjoyable evening there, we were there in July with all the family and will be there again at the end of September cant wait !!!!

was recommended country bbq by my boss who always uses them for his company functions, I wouldn't go anywhere else for lunch now, they change the hot food every day so you always get a change

Gorgeous wedding / birthday cakes as well as a host of other amazing offerings

always shop here, they are really funny and make an effort to get to know their customers. they do amazing buffets, we had them do our wedding and the attention to detail is awesome, it was reasonably priced but looked outstanding, highly recommended.

great staff and great food - really top notch
