About L’Aquila

Housed in a distinctive black and white half-timbered building on the edge of Heaton Park in Prestwich, Italian restaurant L’Aquila opened in May 2021 on the site of the former Parkside Hotel. It’s been transformed into a smart new venue with a ground floor restaurant, a large bar area, an upstairs function room and a brand-new outside space. L’Aquila is also very much a family affair with both father and son closely involved in the day-to-day running of the business. Expect a traditional Italian menu with a modern twist. Lots of pizza, pasta, fish and meat choices with popular dishes including the Spare Ribs for a starter and the 28-day-matured Fillet Steak as a main. The food is accompanied by an ever-changing selection of natural, organic, biodynamic wines from small Italian producers, local craft beers and sustainable soft drinks and spirits. Open from 5pm every day except Mondays and from 3pm at weekends.

Been going here for a couple of years now, but last September we moved to a new house a couple of miles away and we haven't been as often as we would have liked. Took the grandchildren there on Saturday night and we all throughly enjoyed the meal. The different meals were all cooked to perfection, the staff were welcoming and pleasant as usual and the service was excellent. I can honestly say, my family and I have never had a bad meal in here ever, even had my 70th birthday do in here and it was excellent. By far the best meal in Prestwich. People might complain about the prices going up but L' Aquila have the same costs as a family but on a higher scale. Good quality food for a reasonable price.

Very nice food. Hot, tasty and well presented. Staff very attentive. Only downside is over priced drinks.

L’Aquila has become my favourite local restaurant in the last two years! The food is excellent, I love the starters & pizzas especially - an interesting variety to choose from. A great menu overall. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly and helpful, plus the decor and atmosphere add to the comfortable, pleasant environment.

First time we have visited, and i cant recommend this place enough. The food was out of this world. By far the best italian food in the area. The staff were amazing, happy to chat and providing excellent service. Thanks for an amazing evening. Cant wait for the Unsworth restaurant to open.
