For some reason since growing up I've always thought of this place being a little scruffy (outside view) and I don't really know why. But I heard from a friend that kids can make there own Pizza, so I decided to try it out one night with the family. Once inside I noticed to my surprise that the restaurant was busy and apparently is always busy. It has a very Italian feel to the restaurant with most of the staff either being or looking Italian. 1st up while waiting for a table was a round of drinks at the bar. x1 Bottle of Peroni, x1 glass of white wine & x1 glass of pure orange juice = £9.20 which for me I found expensive (this is Oldham after all). There was live music in the dining area which was nice & all the staff where very nice and made time to have a bit of fun with our daughter. We ordered the "Make your own pizza" for the our daughter which came with a fresh dough pizza base and a tomato sauce with 3 toppings to choose out of a selection. We choose Sweetcorn, Ham & Mushroom. A hat is also given to the child to wear while making the Pizza. Myself and my partner had a X2 starters & X2 mains. The starters were nice but nothing special. And we both had Pizzas but if I'm really honest if I had gone to any kebab & pizza shop on Yorkshire street and ordered a pizza I'm guessing it would have looked and tasted the same. I wasn't really impressed with the food i ordered (maybe the other italian meat & pastas is be better ?) In the end add another glass of white wine and the bill was £40 which I thought was over priced for what we got. Would I go again. Yes but I don't think it will be for a while.

The staff are polite and welcoming 2. They'll book in large groups without a blink of an eye. 3. The food is affordable and very enjoyable! 4. It's just across the road from some semi acceptable bars and pubs where we can get our groove on after! I love their pizza bread with tomato. Always fresh aAnd crispy with a great mound of garlicky, tomato goodness on top! I'd also definitely recommend the chicken in tomato sauce if you're looking for something tasty but a tad healthier. Will definitely continue to frequent this place whenever I'm back in town- it has a special place in my heart due to the many memories here.

Nicely situated just outside of Oldham town centre and approx 100yrds from Oldham central tram stop this well presented family run bistro is outstanding! The very second you enter your greeted by the head of the Bissolati family, Paolo! His warm welcome and cheeky charm for the ladies and flamboyant men will have you chuckling in minuets! Shortly after being seated Paolo will always head over and ask how you are and what you've recently been up to whilst hinting and suggesting his favourite dishes! You can not visit The Old bill without starting your meal off with the sexy garlic mushrooms as a starter! Words can't start to describe the taste the second they hit your palette (and I'm not being rude here) :P For main wether it's, pasta, pizza, chicken, lamb or stake you want the flavours of every dish will leave you wanting to come back the very next evening for more! The English Cuisine with and Italian twist to it will keep you firmly in your seat! Dessert and or coffee is a treat for the eyes, that's if you've room for dessert after your meal... Paolo offers an early bird menu at The Old Bill! Also due to it's popularity, often services on a weekend night are split into two! Book early if you plan to come and not a few nights before hand :)

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!

We generally have a drink at the bar while we waited to be seated and they have a few different cocktails available. You can also look at the lobsters in the tank but I always feel mean on them so I don't look at them! My favourite starter here are the scallops, I could eat them everyday! My favourite main course is the Mushroom Stroganoff which is absolutely delicious although I can't usually eat it all! The desserts are always really nice, we love the cheesecake, and we get an extra piece each to take home! Bad point: I had the King Prawn main course once and really didn't like it, I couldn't eat it and sent it back, it's strange because I love King Prawns but it must've been the way they cooked them or something. They offered me something else but I didn't really want to wait while they cooked something else so I shared my boyfriend's pizza. I was very disappointed when the bill came and they hadn't taken my main course off, which cost £17 or even knocked part of it off. We'd both had three courses each, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water and I felt that taking some off for my main course would have been a nice goodwill gesture but my boyfriend wouldn't let me question it with them. Every restaurant I have ever eaten in, if anybody has ever sent something back, then they haven't paid for it, they might have taken something off if we'd questioned it so I won't hold this against them really. Sul Lago is just through Daisy Nook if you're coming from Ashton, you need a car or taxi to get there, I wouldn't recommend walking through there at night! Overall it is a gorgeous restaurant and I can't wait until we go again.

The place only opened fairly recently and since then we have been there at least three times. The pizzas, pastas and chicken dishes are amazing. The sangria is so good and contains so many fruit pieces. The staff cannot be mire helpful nd a me, for four people is around £150 pounds give or the drinks prices. The garlic bread is a favorite of mine and I for one could eat it all day. The only problem with this restaurant is that if you come from Royton the chance of seeing one of your neighbors is quite high, unfortunately means you have to say hI to people you barely know! The menu is extensive and has a good choice if different meals for anyone. ID you are planning on going you definitely have to book as it gets so busy, however this does bot shop there being exceptional service ad no delay in receiving your orders. They have a good range if desserts as well, ID you have room! Although hee you will not be as stuffed as at the restaurant own Rochdale rd nervous high barn junction. K realise that you could go to belivista or some fast food restaurant for a fraction of the price but I would say that if you want an Italian Mel to be worthwhile going out fir and with fenominal taste I would certainly recommend mazzo. Another bonus of mazzo is that if you are from Royton it is within walking distance and f not there is a huge carpal across from the entrance to the restaurant. The menu may be the same but I think there is enough choice to keep it going back for more.
