Usually you can't move for Italian restaurants, not so in Glossop. Now that the Restaurant at 54…read morehas changed hands, this is the only remaining "properly" Italian restaurant i.e. one that has an Italian name for starters. I came here for lunch and I would thoroughly recommend doing this. Their lunchtime specials start at £3.95 - that's cheaper than some Subways, or Mcdonalds or a little meal from Tesco's wrap range. You get the picture. Its cheap and it is a nice, sit down meal. What's not to like. They also do giant crispy pizzas with their 'Grande' for 4 at £16 and their 'Huge' for 6 at £20. Come on that is so cheap. Plus their open flamed pizza oven is authentic Italian. Bet you don't get that at Dominoes. They call themselves 'The Italian Food Experience' and whilst they may have a good local reputation this might be something to do with the aforementioned lack of real competition. I have had better at both independent chains like Croma and bigger sharks like Zizzi.

I had a lovely baked pasta dish (takes 30 mins) with taleggio, pumpkin and mushrooms (note the menu only has the oven and pumpkin bit in Italian for some reason!). Also outstanding was the wild boar ragu. Absolutely not your average Italian. Didn't try the pizzas but you doubt you'll go wrong with the pasta. Also had a decent calamari starter and an interesting fennel, orange and olive salad. Found the host a little odd, not particularly welcoming, but she seemed to have a good relationship with what looked to be a few regulars.

If you fancy something different and enjoy Italian food, then you should try here…read more It is best to go in the evening or have a late afternoon tea or something as I think the food can be a bit rich just for a snack at dinner and you will probably feel bloated all day after. Anyway, it is a typical Italian restaurant: big smiles, helpful service and great food. I guess that is all the important stuff ticked! I enjoyed the pizzas the most as they are homemade and full of fresh toppings. They also do my all time favourite meal; Spaghetti Bolognese. And oh my word, it is mouth watering good. It is a great place to go in groups or even couples. A rare find in Hyde, so go here.

The crab and carbonara pastas were delicious, but I was beyond disappointed with the bolognese. It's obviously the restaurants recipe and people must like it if it's still on the menu, but in my opinion is was very sloppy. I did not enjoy it at all. I ended up switching dishes with my husband (he ordered the crab pasta). We also ordered cocktails and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant is very nice. We also liked that many of the staff was Italian or my husband seems to think so, so that was cool. Next, we will be trying the location in Didsbury.

We went on one of the best evenings of the summer so even though it was Tuesday it was packed and service was very slow but we weren't too bothered given the pleasant weather and surroundings. Food wise we had decent seafood starters of crab and scallop and then bf had a calzone which he really enjoyed and I had tagliatelle with summer truffle - I went for large which was a bit of an error as it was massive but somehow I still managed to eat it all. It's a nice touch that the menus contain information about where all the ingredients are sourced - despite Piccolino being a chain you get the impression it's food and service first rather than brand (or quality food and service is the brand). I don't think you will have a mindblowing dish here but you won't go too wrong either.

Although we have been let down once or twice, over all the food has always been warming, the service is quick and the staff are truly polite and lovely! I'd say that once or twice out of +20 times isn't too bad! Tonight we went for an early Christmas Eve dinner (as I won't be in Oldham for Christmas) and it was yet again delicious. I decided to have the venison but changed the wild berry and port sauce for the diane - the staff accepted this without a blink and both the meat and sauce were cooked to perfection and the plate was well and truly cleared! We also enjoyed some king prawns, garlic pizza bread (get the tomato it's scrumptious!), and the flat mushrooms with tomato and feta - NOM NOM NOM! A great night had as always - we'll be back!
