Reviews in Prestwich

We had a lovely meal, starter and mains, staff we very attentive and polite, I enjoyed the atmosphere, an old pup renovated into a lovely restaurant

Visited L’ Aquila for my wife’s 60th; drinks and food came promptly. We had the ribs, king prawn (Penne Taormina) and garlic bread, all cooked perfectly and white wine. When waiting to pay the bill a tiramisu with a candle was brought to our table and the staff sang happy birthday to my wife. Much appreciated, will definitely visit again.

Lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly and helpfull, food was good.

Excellent Sunday lunch as always

Lovely atmosphere, excellent food as always Excellent service Absolutely love it here

Great service and waitress went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely time. Didn’t get her name but she was a polish lady and lovely . Even brought out a cake with happy birthday on for my daughter off her own back . Will definitely return!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Atmosphere is great and the staff are amazing too. Nothing is any trouble for them. As for the food, it is absolutely amazing . There was 10 of us all had different meals and so delicious and presented beautifully. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant bottomless brunch, staff very friendly and attentive, food is delicious and hot, plenty of choice, as soon as the bottle of Prosecco is empty is is replaced, nothing is a bother, been several times and always a great experience

We visited on 33rd Jan. Food was amazing as usual and staff attentive. I had the linguine with prawns and my husband had the lasagne. Plenty of prawns in the linguine and the lasagne was extremely tasty. Starter garlic bread nice and crispy and creme brulee with a hint a orange was delicious

Absolutely amazing meal and service from Kevin and the team. Thank you for making my mums birthday so special. The food was delicious, the service amazing would highly recommend. Definitely the best restaurant around!

We only knew L'Aquila site from being a pub many years ago as I grew up in Prestwich. However, when we found that it was now an Italian and it was near my Mum's it was a perfect choice to have a small 80th birthday meal. It was a Tuesday so not too busy and the lovely young lady who greeted us gave us the choice where to sit. There were plenty of other people in there but it was still wasn't over noisy and the music level was perfect to have a nice conversation. The decor and fit out of the restaurant is lovely and extremely clean. The front of house team working that evening was extremely polite, fast serving, not to intrusive and were always doing something whether it be serving other customers or cleaning/tidying. We ordered multiple course including a special of the day and the food was on point. My Mum who's favourite food is Italian said it was better than any Italian she had been to in the city centre and said she would definitely come back. I always love a garlic bread with cheese, but having the half tomato/half cheese option was the dream. Even though I hadn't said it was my Mum's birthday the staff obviously noticed she was wearing a birthday badge and brought out her dessert with "Happy Birthday" in chocolate piped on it with candles. They then sang to her. This dessert was then taken off our final bill as a gift. She was extremely happy as were we on the overall experience. I would recommend here over any other Italian (we've been to a lot). It's also great of it's location if you don't want to or can't get to a larger city. Keep up the amazing work and kudos to all the back of house team who without the food would not be what it is.

I want to start by saying the food was lovely and our waitress was also wonderful and very knowledgeable and I would come back on another day to see how it is for a second time because of how lovely the food and waitress were. However, I've not rated it as highly as I would normally for 3 reasons: 1) They lost our booking/ someone didn't write it down. They did rectify this and still find us a table on a very busy evening. However, I'd booked this well in advance because I was on a strict time schedule (I'd allowed just over 90m for our meal for 4 people which should be very achievable). Unfortunately, sitting at the table 25m after arriving while they found us a table meant we couldn't even entertain a coffee or dessert after. 2) the time between starter and mains was over 30m, I assume because it was so busy and they weren't expecting us (not our fault) with 2 large parties in the restaurant, but again this compounded the fact that dessert/coffee wasn't an option. 3) A female member of staff (management/owner?) was openly very rude to our waitress at the bar we were sat next to when she was doing a wonderful job and that in turn made us all feel very uncomfortable.

There was a great ambience in the restaurant. The food was very nice and the staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Great night out! Food was lovely. Attentive staff, nice place

Beautiful restaurant, food was amazing, staff were very friendly, would definitely return.

We had a really nice meal. It was our first visit but we will return again.

Have visited this lovely restaurant many times over the years and have always been very happy with both the delicious food and service. The staff are always very friendly yet professional and the food cooked to perfection. Thank you to all the team.

Cannot fault this venue. Warm welcome, service perfect and the food is always full of flavour. I recommend to everyone.
