Fabulous evening with the family celebrating NYE. Food excellent and great atmosphere. We’ll be back soon….

Have been a few times. But this visit was by far the worst. Appreciate it was NYE and busy but they couldn’t find our reservation at first. We were then seated and ignored for 20 minutes to order a drink so we had to call someone over. We ordered food at the same time as didn’t want to wait any longer. Table at the side of us left as they waited too long to be served. Food came, was below par, no Parmesan or black pepper was offered, my lasagne hardly had any meat in it at all, didn’t sent back as didn’t want to wait any longer. Were told by server that two staff members had not come in come hence the chaos just a shame and ruined our NYE meal out. Staff were completely ran off their feet.

We came here for new years eve with friends as we have dined at L’Aquila sereval times before. However this is the first time weve been since the spilt with the prestwich branch. From when we sat down to leaving 2 1/2 hours later we was really disappointed with our experience. It took over 20 minutes to get a menu (which we had to ask for), they also didn’t ask if we had any allergies. It then a further 20 minutes to take our order (which again we had to ask the waitress to take our order). We also had to get our own drinks from the bar. The starters were wrong and we only got half of it, we had to keep chasing for the other half which was a cold reject from another table! For our mains, we ordered 4 different pasta dishes, which we’ve previously had from here before. The spaghetti carbonara was tasteless, gooey and left my stomach churning. The farfalle pasta dish looked and tasted like it came from the toilet and we was really disappointed as this has been our favourite pasta dish whenever we’ve dined here. The “fillet steak” within the dish wasn’t fillet, the broccoli was rock hard, the pepper sauce was watery and there were no pine nuts. The young waitresses were friendly however they moaned constantly to paying guests about the chef walking out earlier in the day. They were also acting unprofessional, laughing when trying to stick the balloons back to the ceiling when there were tables to be served and tables to be cleaned. We also weren’t the only guests who had issues as atleast 3 other tables got up and walked out. The only positives from here is the singer was brilliant. Unfortunately, this will be the last time we dine here at the Sunnybank L’Aquila and will stick to the Prestwich restaurant.

Great food and service was fair it was a very busy night and the staff did really well to keep everyone happy and get the food out without too much delay. We will definitely be returning.

Gorgeous place, gorgeous food, gorgeous waitresses ❤️

Always a great time in this place, whether it’s just a few drinks or a meal. This time was food and as normal was delicious! The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is always great and the owners lovely and spend time with the customers!

Booked for lunch on Saturday. Dodd was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive Highly recommend

Although the night started off with abit of a hiccup it ended up being an absolutely amazing night. I booked my table 2 months in advance to watch a very close friend perform there. I booked a table of 8. When we arrived we was greeted by the very friendly male host. We sat down and placed our orders for food and drink, 2 people on our table were not eating as they simply did not fancy anything. Shortly after this a blonde lady from behind the bar came to the front to speak to the host, she then turned around and shouted “who books tables in a restaurant and doesn’t eat.” She then came to me directly and very rudely said “why are you not eating, you know we’re a restaurant?” I calmly replied, “we are eating” and gestured to my knife and fork which the waitress had placed on the table. My friend asked why she was being so rude and she suddenly changed her tone of voice and said “let’s start again” blew us a kiss and walked off. This interaction was very rude and very unprofessional.. but that doesn’t reflect on the rest of the staff. The host, the bar staff and the waitresses were all absolutely amazing all night and in the end we had an absolutely amazing night. The food was stunning and the cocktails and entertainment were unmatched. I would love to return one day and hope that we start off on a better foot.

The food is always very good and plentiful, the restaurant is always lively, the staff are welcoming and the service is great. We have been many times and we will be going again soon.

Lovely evening in this welcoming place - great service, warm and friendly and delicious food.

This is the second time I have eaten at Crowded House, Bury. The inside and outside of the restaurant is well decorated. The staff are very attentive and friendly. There was a good selection of drinks, quite expensive but this is often the case at restaurants. We selected the fish platter, duck and lamb kofti which was very enjoyable. It was a very pleasant experience.

1st time customers, my god the food is second to none . Could NOT fault a thing . The girls were brilliant, couldn't do enough for us . Definitely will return (VERY SOON )

Wonderful evening Fabulous food and drinks Amazing service Brilliant entertainment and atmosphere Thank you

Definitely the best food in town Always a great menu and lovely atmosphere

Wouldn’t rush back, Garlic bread was lovely but had to send my main back as the sauce was like water & tasteless. Remade my dish and it tasted nice but had quite a few shells from the king prawns in it which completely put me off.
