Much bigger than you initially think when you dine here. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Lots of people busy tables etc. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. On the downside, our booking was for 5 people not 3. No tables. Waited just over an hour for a table and a further hour for our meal. Certain menu items had run out. We were asked what deserts we would like, when we hadn't even had our main course!! A gentleman served us our food or shall I say 'shoved' our plates at us. He must have been having a bad evening. The young girl server's were extremely nice, removed plates and cutlery etc whilst smiling at us all the time, I must highlight their good manners and service. We were overcharged for items we did not have. However, I did say they were extremely busy. We had some cocktails and they were delicious! The food was also very nice. City centre prices to mention. We would go back for a comparison visit because the food was good when we eventually received it. Unfortunately, it was our first visit and found it to be extremely chaotic.

Nice ambiance on a Saturday night . Large group in very drunk noisy and rowdy staff did not control them but of a let down. Not sure if this is actually Italian owned or Eastern European owned . The steaks t bone at £27 quite thin but cooked of med rare . Side dishes ok . Starter ribs good with a chilli kick . I have been spoilt by going to a real Italian of quality DaSandros in Huddersfield but to be fair it deserves three stars no more . What made it good was the young female staff very nice . Note to people going I never tip unless I can guarantee the money goes in the servers pocket …. In this place they are told they will get a percentage and they never do ! So in my mind all the tips go to the owners which is outrageous. I will go again the cooks are good but I think Albanian, Hungarian or some other nationality behind the scenes not that it matters 5 percent of Indian restaurants are actually run by Indians ! Go give it a try food just above average , service good but crowd control zero and not a “real” Italian

I attended a 60th birthday party here. The staff were amazing. They dealt with all the orders professionally and went beyond. The food was fantastic and a range of dishes to cater for everyone. We all had a lovely time and will visit there again.

As far as I can tell, this is one of the premier restaurants in Rochdale. Always superb food, beautiful surroundings recently updated, always attentive and courteous staff who make the effort to smile and jolly the atmosphere. Cannot recommend this place enough. Although I've not been to many places in Rochdale because this place is so good, I would advise you try it, great for family(had Christmas Dinner here a few times) for a romantic meal as well as a gathering of mates. Perfect and top marks.

One of the best Italian restaurants around Manchester, we went in 5, the service was really fast. Kind Italian staff and professional in their work. We ate so well that we felt like we were in Italy. We will definitely come back.
