Went this evening for my brother's birthday meal. Excellent food excellent service and excellent surroundings. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Gluten free option wasn't a problem. Thank you so much. We will certainly come again and reccomend to our friends and family. Thank you for the biscuits and well done Leo on your second night x
A hidden gem.
Was never impressed with its predecessor Alghero. However Essenza is worth every one of the five stars awarded.
The place is immaculate. The welcome was warm the service impeccable.
The food was of an excellent standard. Arrived timely on hot plates and was presented well.
The specials were varied and reasonably priced.
The desserts were mostly billed as "home made" which I've experienced elsewhere only to discover they were mass produced cash and carry specials. Essenza on the other hand produced a gorgeous desserts that was fabulous and sumptuous!!!
My only complaint was the portion sizes were ridiculously large!!!!
We will be returning as often as my waistband will allow.
Sensational.
Visited on Sunday for 2nd time. Place was busy which was nice to see as it was empty as last time we went. Our server was a gem and I felt confident enough to go for the fillet steak with pepper sauce and all trimmings and it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was tasty. Really enjoyed it and the atmosphere so will be back again for more
We really like this restaurant and eat here quite regularly. The staff are lovely and the food is always good. Great place for a chilled out meal on a Sunday night when you can’t be bothered cooking.
Had a lovely family meal here. The staff were welcoming and really lovely with our children. The food was really fresh and delicious I highly recommend the cannelloni. We will be returning soon
The food here is good, cooked from an open kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing the meals. All the staff are friendly and courteous. The dining area is pacious. We enjoyed our meal and the ambiance of the restaurant. Thanks to all the staff.
The best pizzas this side of Napoli! Well, the best I’ve had in Lancashire at any rate. I struggle to get past the pizzas but the family assure me the rest of the menu is as good. The staff are super friendly and always make you feel genuinely welcome.
Have eaten here several times now and each time has been great. The food is of a good standard and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Hope to go again soon
Excellent! Food really good and really family friendly. The staff were amazing with the kids letting them make pizzas. We will definitely go back
Spot on. Excellent service and the food was second to none. Spotless. Been before when it was previous owners with our mum and returned again today in memory of our mum. Faultless 👌
Such quality food to be had here. Staff are all Italian including the chef so it feels really authentic. Would be good if you could deliver please 😋
We went after hearing mixed views. We were well impressed with the staff and the food. The only thing is the prices of drinks were expensive which ruins it or it would of been five star..
Very nice time had by all Impressive pizzas in particular. Friendly and welcoming place. First time eating here but won't be the last.
Took a chance & rang up for takeaway. So glad we did. Got a bit of s selection of pizza & pasta wow did it taste good. Considering ordering another tonight lol
Fast becoming a firm favourite in our family. Good food, attentive staff. Have also phoned up for a takeaway a few times and was brill!!!!
