L’Aquila Prestwich

About L’Aquila Prestwich

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. L'Aquila now has a new sister restaurant in Sunny Bank, Bury.
