Excellent meal as previous visits

Excellent as always both food and service

Had a very tasty meal . All 4 of us enjoyed our choices of starters mains and one dessert shared by 2. Staff are very attentive and welcoming. Vito sets a great example to his staff. Thank you to you all.

Great food as usual. Just felt rushed, not given enough time to look at the menu and at least 3 people asking if we were ready. No complimentary shots this time either despite spending over a hundred quid.

Great food and good atmosphere at Cafe Italia yesterday. Lots of food choices and fab staff at this very popular venue.

I recently dined here and I was extremely impressed in every way. The beautiful interior created a warm ambiance, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was amazing—full of flavor and authenticity—making it a true highlight of the experience. The service was excellent, and the value for money was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning soon!

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Friendly and efficient staff. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant aswell.

Food was lovely, staff were brilliant. Thank you x

Wonderful meal for my son's 15th birthday

Returned with my partner and my mum for a Mother's day meal, after coming last year. It was the same result, fantastic food, massive portions sizes, ended up taking doggy bags home to enjoy the next day. After poppadoms, the mixed platter for 3 nearly wiped us out and we were ready to order our mains to go as it was so substantial. Mother had a chicken Korma, my partner had Tikka Masala and I tried their Indian version of lasagna. All of the meals were fantastic, the same as the meals we had last year, which was our main reason for returning. I think it was great value for a feast for 3 people

Arrived at The Pavilion with great anticipation, we hadn't visited the establishment before. I had had been told by a work colleague I was in for a treat. In reception we were met by a rather gruff fellow who acknowledged our booking but proceeded to sit other people who came in after us. After eventually being seated we ordered , starting with poppadoms and a chutney tray, very good. Main course I ordered the Pavilion special with Chicken, and my wife had the Bangalore Lamb dish. When my dish came it was mostly large chunks of onion, with 3 pieces of chicken. My wife's dish had overcooked Lamb, with frozen slices of banana. We complained, I carried on with my dish, my wife's meal was taken away then brought back still with frozen slices of banana, but know with Chicken in with the Lamb. Also the Peshawar bread was dripping in Syrup.Spoilt our meal completely, no charge for the mains, paid for everything else. Left hungry. This place supposedly won an award.!!??

We have enjoyed several meals at Cafe Italia, all of which have been great. In fact, its consistency of both service and quality food is why its one of our 'go to' choices. This particular weekend, they also had a brilliant card magician entertaining diners, which was an excellent choice and easy to enjoy in between food (much better than singers, that we've seen in other restaurants - in our opinion). Its great place and we will be back

I eat out a fair bit and in my humble opinion this is the best place in the whole Bolton area which includes Horwich and all surrounding areas for breakfast, the service and quality of food I find is just excellent. A great find.

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and good wholesome Italian food, which we felt was good value. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being almost at capacity. It is clearly a popular place and for a good reason - looks like they do amazing lunch specials too! Despite driving past this for several years, I'd never been and glad I tried it out - will definitely be a regular going forward.

5 star

We return to Cafe Italia on a regular basis. Not only is the quality of the food excellent but the costs are very fair. Service is always helpful and attentive.
