We were greeted at the door by a friendly waiter who showed us to our seats and after a few mins took our order. The food came at a fairly quick time, we weren't waiting too long and the food was piping hot. Everything was delicious and I cannot fault it. It's just a shame the place was fairly empty as it's a wonderful establishment and should be bustling with customers! Go visit this place!

This family run restaurant used to be The Half Way House pub. It has been beautifully transformed…read moreinside but keeps its original appearance from the outside. There is a small car park and room to park on the road outside. The owners (one of them is a Premiership Referee so look out for the odd famous face) live in the Bolton area and can often be seen working in the resaurant. It is my favourite place to eat. From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel welcome. There are 2 Italian waiters who speak excellent English and are more than happy to help you pronounce the items and even teach you some Italian. The menu is extensive with daily specials. There is a good choice of wine. There is a small bar area that you can retire to after your meal. The food is reasonably priced and freshly prepared to your specifications.

I really adored this restaurant. It's ran by the type of people who REALLY give a darn about what…read morepeople think of them, their food and especially their service. The staff will joke with you as if you were their friend, they'll make a fuss of you, compliment you and recommend EVERYTHING on the menu. No seriously, don't ask for a recommendation because they say everything - and you can see why when it arrives! You have to go for the full shebang here - Starter, Mains and Dessert. Don't you dare not order one of them! You'll miss out! I opted for Duck for the mains - I love Duck, it's my favourite meat to have for a dish - and it was exquisite. The sauce was definitely homemade, with a tangy orange finish presented with shavings of orange peel. I loved the attention to detail with the dishes even with the restaurant HEAVING. They don't lapse and they don't forget. Main dishes (meat) come with sides of roast potatoes, green beans, carrots and broccoli (chef's choice of seasoned vegetables). The roast spuds had soft centres and crispy coatings - delish! Roasting done right. For dessert (see pictures) I ordered a lemon sorbet accompanied by the sweetest toffee sauce drizzle in the shape of a flower! Again, presentation is clearly a key aspect here. Loved it. Being a Tuesday night and celebrating my Dad's birthday, you wouldn't really expect a lot of people at a restaurant for starters on a Tuesday night (wrong!) and you wouldn't expect every other table in there to be there for someones birthday right? WRONG! EVERY single table was there for a birthday. No joke! They crank up the birthday music every time! I'd meant to make a cake for this occasion but I hadn't had time. I asked the waitress if it was possible to wish him a happy birthday and add something special to his dessert. If you look at the picture I uploaded, they wrote Happy Birthday in sauce and added extra strawberries to his cake. As we were leaving, the staff practically dressed up - wrapping us up in our scarves and holding our coats as we put them on. They joked with us about bringing more people and which football club we supported and made everyone feel very wanted and valued. I do love good customer service and this place has it, under pressure, and doesn't cease to surprise.

The owner was very welcoming and gave us free garlic bread as starters which was needed as the green lipped mussels for starters took ages to arrive which they were well aware of and in the end they served us our antipasti without the mussels. Once the muscles arrived, they were big and worth waiting for. We all ordered different mains and they all came out together. The seafood dishes looked great with lobster on top but the steak looked a bit drab drowning in the sauce and one of the pasta dishes didn't look appealing but tasted great. The service was great all night and we had numerous wait staff looking after us and they were happy to take photos of us etc. When we ordered our dessert one of the wait staff was extremely proud to have made two of the dishes - the panna cotta and the creme caramel. I ordered the panna cotta, although the consistency was thicker to what I am used to it tasted delicious. Despite how busy the place was for a Sunday night we didn't see any celebs. I can understand why people keep coming back as the owner makes everyone feel welcome and you feel as if you know him as he wishes and hugs everyone as they leave. Ample parking over the road but you have to navigate through broken glass to get into the restaurant.

This is the first time I've eaten at La Roma, but I eat at San Marco (their sister restaurant in…read moreBlackrod) all the time. The menu is the same, they will make you any pizza you want and the pasta menu is amazing! The portion sizes are super human, so all pasta options come as half portion sizes, and they're just enough! The staff are so lovely and remember my dads order each week! beef cannelloni every time and swears by it! (And he is difficult to please!) The pizzas are all thin based and freshly made, and as I've said, you can pretty much chose your own pizza of you don't fancy what's already on the menu. Today I opted for prawn tagliatelle and the rents each had a pizza each. There wasn't a scrap left!

The pizzas are divine, I would highly reccommend the calzone as a main... or as a sharing starter a garlic bread with tomato (or cheese if you prefer) and it is a must to ask for a side order of the spare-rib sauce - all the locals do! The spare-ribs are mouthwateringly fingerlickingly good! I love the atmosphere created by the owners, Santo and Rios - the open kitchen with Italian accents flying around and the down to earth approach of service - it's not fancy high class service it's just real! For a true Italian experience you must visit Don Luigi.
