Reviews in Bolton

My hubby and I visited here for the first time on Saturday night... we booked for 9pm but on arrival there seemed to be a mix up amongst the (senior, not waiting) staff and on our way to our table we were ushered briskly back to the bar area by another guy as he 'has people waiting' ..? then left us to it for 25 mins before even offering us a menu ... the place was busy but not bursting - when we got seated at 935ish there were 4 or 5 clear tables. Anyway aside from that, which i found very rude but counted to ten as we didn't want to spoil a long awaited night out :(... the food was good, waiting staff very polite and pleasant. Nice to have a pub/bar area which was lively, for a drink after meal.

We've been here a few times in 2008 and everything was great, went in June 2009 and it seems as though there has been a change of management. The food is ok but not outstanding and a little bit pricey for what you get. Saying that ,the desserts are excellent. The staff seem friendly enough but one of them was not as friendly as the others. She seemed a little arrogant with customers and wouldn't smile at all. Food 6/10 Service 6/10 Price 6/10.

we love the taj mahal, great atmosphere, excellent food, not too pricey and the staff are lovely :) always have any family get together here and they always do us proud

A fantastic, well run, friendly Italian restaurant with excellent food and service in a lovely location in the Irwell Valley. I fully recommend La Roma whether it be an informal lunch time visit, a romantic meal, party time or with kids also. La Roma offers the all round package for whoever you are. We like La Roma so much that we don't consider any other Italian restaurant as most just can't compete.. ps The House Red is superb!

I have visited La Roma many times with my husband and baby daughter and we are always welcomed warmly by Stefano and his staff. In fact, every time my parents visit they insist on going to lunch at least on one day as they find the food outstanding value for money, beautifully prepared and always hot!

We and our family and friends have been eating at La Roma for over 9 yrs - 8 at the previous place in Bromley cross and now for over a year in their new home. The food has always been of a consistent high quality, probably the best Italian food in the area! The menu is varied, there is something for everyone, from our one year old grandchild who loves the pasta to some members of the older generation who love the plainer (they do it without the sauce for him) fare of steaks(the hard to please father in law!). Definitely recommend La Roma to lovers of good food, pleasant surroundings and very friendly and obliging staff!

What a beautiful setting for a great restaurant. Look out of the windows and greenery abounds. We went for lunch on my birthday. The service was second to none. The food was delicious- piping hot as I like it. The owner found time to chat to everyone. It was an enjoyable experience, which we hope to repeat this weekend with friends.

My family has been eating Steph's wonderful food for the last 10 years. We have travelled all over the world and still believe that Steph's garlic bread and pizza are the best. The food is always excellent, the service is second to none and the price is incredibly reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend La Roma Restaurant.

As a family we have been visiting Stefano & La Roma for over eight years and we never fail to have a good meal & a good time. Our children are always made very welcome and will always opt for here on a night/day out. The food is great and the staff warm and friendly - garlic bread to die for!!!! The new setting for the restaurant is beautiful with the river setting. I can't recommend Roma enough - if you're looking for an affordable Italian restaurant with great food and great atmosphere then La Roma is the one. Glad to recommend to anyone.

A picturesque setting outside , a warm cosy ambiance inside add the two main ingredients friendly,welcoming staff and the fabulous tasting food and there you have it the perfect recipe for dining out. Having visited many times since opening, as a couple, with children, large party with children and large party of adults the quality and standard of the food is as good today as it was on that first visit " Excellent " Being a vegetarian, at this restaurant is not a problem. If there is something on the menu that you fancy but it contains meat the chef is only too happy to adapt it for you. Anyway, I haven't got any more time to be sat here, I have to get ready to join a birthday party of 8 and where 's the party at ? Yes, that's right La Roma.

This restaurant is in a lovely location, surrounded by trees and overlooking a river. The Italian staff could not do anymore to help you. We had a bottle of Montepulciano, three courses and coffee at £50 for two, bargain!! The menu was brilliant, lots to choose from and when the food arrived it was fresh, really tasty and piping hot. We had Bruschetta and chicken livers to start, both gorgeous. We went for Canelloni and Penne all Arribiata for main, both delicious. For dessert, we had Torte della Nonna and Strawberry and Amaretto gateaux. (very alcoholic!) The service was brilliant and the food was so good we will be going again, you should too!

I live local to the restaurant and have eaten there several times over the last year. The staff are always pleasant and the beer is always cold (they have Peroni on tap with glasses to match!). The food is excellent value for money. My girlfriend nearly always has the rigatoni gratonati because its delicious. I am more varied and rotate my choice of pizzas which are always excellent. And you get an after eight mint with the bill! In summary a great location for an Italian restaurant which compliments the lovely staff and great food.

This has got to be the nicest Italian restaurant in the area located in the picturesque village of ringley overlooking the river Irwell it also has great car parking my wife and I sampled the spicy garlic bread and Fungi Trifolati and of course some Bruschetta followed by Pollo Sorpresa and Pollo Cacciatora with vegetables The sweets are homemade we chose Torta della Nonna which is “Grandmother’s cake” a traditional Tuscan dessert and homemade apple crumble washed down with the house red. The service food and wine was very good and we look forward to going again soon Chris

Great food at reasonable price. staff are friendly and helpful especially with children. This was my fourth visit this year and already planning my fifth.

We came across the restaurants website a while ago and only just tried it, as shame as we have been missing out. There is plenty of bog standard Italian eateries, however going of the dishes we had, La Roma's food seemed to be a notch up above the norm. The starters had a different twist to the usual items served up, pate stuffed mushrooms in filo pastry - deep fried, and stuffed tomatoes with tuna and crab in a sauce - very nice and just that bit different. My wife always goes for a Lasagna, this was the first one she had where the meat did not taste of cheap 'meat pie' flavor - it was very nice. I had pizza, the dough was crisp and thin, with a good, not overwhelming topping. We went mid week and found the service very good and friendly.

A wonderful relaxing experience! A refreshingly child-friendly restaurant set in beautiful surrounding. The food is the best italian we have ever tasted and the staff are very friendly[nothing was too much trouble]. Would recommend La Roma too everyone.

Fantastic food in a peaceful setting. A very friendly place. We have a young daughter & the friendliness of staff make going out for a meal so much easier. They even prepare a mickey mouse style pizza just for the kids with jug ears shaped dough. An extensive menu, but I cannot seem to get beyond the chilli garlic bread & prawn tagliatelle flavoured with fennel. Beautiful.

We had not been in the Wilton Arms for years as we considered it to be 'Pub food' in the worse sense. We recently noticed a sign outside that says 'under new management and home cooked food', so we gave it a try. What an improvement! the food is really good and as it says 'home cooked. Some of the dishes are equal to that in a restaurant and therefore, excellent value for money. There is also a good selection of wine & beers to choose from and the decor & the atmosphere are really nice.
