Booking was really easy online, booking form asked if any special occasion which it was, my partners birthday.
restaurant called ahead to advise the card machine wasn't working rather than tell us
Table was ready when we arrived.
Friendly service, helpful advice.
Food was delicious and piping hot.
When they brought the desserts out they had written happy birthday on the plate and a candle in the cheesecake and sang happy birthday.
Definitely recommend this lovely restaurant
Lovely restaurant with fresh hot meal served.. tasted delicious and the staffall lovely and friendly. Will definitely return also a birthday meal and they did this how nice xx
Can't rate highly enough! . Staff were friendly and attentive. The chef took the time to explain about the different steaks and even gave us all three choices of the sauces to try. Food was absolutely delicious. We weren't rushed at all and ended up staying for hours. Thoroughly enjoyed it. This was our first visit and we will definitely be coming back.
Came here for birthday meal.
A couple things on menu were already not available by time we got there (6pm)
Staff was generally decent and attentive.
Food quality was great and would go again!
It took us a while before we managed to get the bill and then they forgot to take off our deposit on the bill however (although this was quickly sorted)
Although I see on other reviews when a birthday was mentioned seemed like staff put a little bit of effort on the dessert. However with mine (and it was told to them on day as well as when booking). There was no candle or writing or acknowledgement which made it feel abit sad.
The food is fantastic! We opted for the Tomahawk steak special and, it was perfectly cooked! Probably one of the best we’ve had. We also tried the prawn cocktail and asparagus for starters, both of which, we’re delicious.
We enjoyed a bottle of Chianti which complimented our food perfectly.
The only downfall for us was the table we were seated at. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet and we got seated right next to another table (the tables are very close together) in the middle of the restaurant. The restaurant soon picked up and we were surrounded by larger parties which made it feel less of an intimate dining experience for us.
That being said, the restaurant is presented well, the food is to die for, and they have a greats selection of drinks.
Thank you for an enjoyable evening!
Delicious food, attentive service, lovely cocktails, will definitely be back
Celebrated our son's A Level results this evening amazing food, fabulous attentive staff... definitely will be back!!
Excellent food, cooked to high standard. The risotto is testament to chef skill. Desserts are light and sweet. House wine is very palatable with the fish. Service is on the ball. All staff alert and attentive, and head staff very welcoming and appreciative. Atmosphere very good and location is next to Heaton Park which makes this overall a perfect winner. Happy to have eaten here and highly recommend it. Italian done right.
We hosted my sister’s Baby Shower over the weekend at L’Aquila. We had a private dining room and there were 27 of us in total. The room was lovely and available to us to set up a few hours earlier. The service was amazing, all of the staff couldn’t do enough for us. And the food was amazing, all came out at the same time and was hot. We had a set menu but there were plenty of options. I would definitely recommend L’Aquila and we can’t wait to go back in two weeks for one of our friend’s Baby Shower’s.
Visited regularly now since the restaurant opened, tried many dishes from seafood, steaks and pasta and has been consistently of a high standard as is the wine list and cocktails, we also attended with a large party on a busy Saturday night in December, the restaurant was full with many large parties and I have to say the service and quality was still exceptional, which speaks volumes of the place. Always a warm welcome too from fabulous, attentive staff and a lovely family.
Warm and friendly staff who couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome, great service, great choice to choose from from starters to mains to desserts. Great choice of drinks and cocktails. We will definitely be going back soon.
Visited here as soon as we could as its only a 5min walk from our house and we were intrigued to see what they had done with the old pub. We were not disappointed, the place looked beautiful inside. The food matched, traditional old school Italian menu. We enjoyed the scallops to start, then I had the prosciutto and mushroom pizza, followed by tiramisu for dessert. The pizza was delicious, lovely thin dough and fresh toppings. Also enjoyed a latte with my tiramisu, very good coffee. Service was excellent and we'll definitely be back.
Such a beautiful restaurant to have locally. The staff are fantastic. Explained the dishes which was to die for. Excited for oue next visit x
We booked a table for four for my daughters birthday. The environment and atmosphere were very pleasant with really comfortable seating. Service and food were excellent, I would highly recommend this restaurant. 👌
Thank you for a lovely evening. The food was beautiful and the staff were all very helpful & friendly. It is by far the nicest Italian restaurant in Prestwich. We live nice and local, so we will be back soon to enjoy more food and drinks, thank you again L'aquila!! 😃🧡
Wow! The food here is amazing, we went for the first time and it was so good we went again the next night. Highly recommend the steak Al pepe, and the meatball starter. Staff were very friendly and extremely welcoming, the food was well prepared and seasoned. Cannot wait to go again, our new favourite Italian restaurant!
Great food didn't have to wait long for food meatballs for starter were the best I've tasted & the steak was done perfectly so had a great night 👍
