Reviews in Bolton

we have eaten Chinese food all over the country and in many places around the world but nothing can compere to the food served at this restaurant it is first class 5* and then some more they get it consistently right every time we eat in the restaurant we have take away and every time the food is excellent the staff are really friendly and helpful and always happy to serve you with a smile if you are considering eating here for the first time you will not be disappointed and you will return, Chinese delight is quite possibly the best Chinese restaurant in the north west and beyond . try it you will like it

We called into the Chinese Delight on an off chance 5 years ago on the same night as Ben and Angela took over this restaurant. This was the best off chance we had ever taken, I have traveled the Far East extensively throughout the 80s and 90s and eat in many of the worlds top Chinese restaurants like Hutong and Ye Shanghai in HK to Din Tai Fung in Taipei. What we can say is the good at the Chinese Delight is even better than these, and the hosts can never do enough for you. Don't let the location or building kid you, thus restaurant should be at the heart of chain town.

Fantastic friendly service in a newly modernised restaurant and the food is just as good

We ate here on our works do. I had fillet steak cooked medium rare and it was just beautiful! Peroni on draught at the bar is also a bonus. Great place and great food!

incentivised by the reward of a free bottle of house wine for reporting on our first experience of La Roma we returned a week to the day to see if our expectations would be met. The red house wine, a Sangiovese, was very nice just as the food we chose (a custom-made tuna steak and pollo marinato) were truly excellent. Combined with impeccable service our first impressions were confirmed as accurate rather than just a matter of good fortune.

My family and I regularly go to the Chinese Delight. Ben, manager and owner, runs a fantastic restaurant. I have always been a fan of Chinese food and have tried numerous Chinese restaurants in Manchester and the surrounding area but Chinese Delight is my favourite. The menu has a good variety including dishes that are unique to Chinese Delight. The food is wonderfully fresh and hot. My favourite dishes are fish based and these are cooked perfectly - especially the scallops and king prawns! Ben and his staff are a great laugh and very efficient. And an added bonus is that there is free parking. I would recommend Chinese Delight to anyone who enjoys good tasting fresh food.

My partner and I visited La Roma today for lunch and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch accompanied by a lovely bottle of Barbera. We were the first to arrive and were promptly greeted and seated at a table for two in a window alcove. By the time we left the place had become busier although it was not bustling and the clients were a mixture of couples and a group of friends enjoying the Christmas lunch menu. It was obvious that several of these patrons were regulars. The layout of the restaurant, a former pub, has been very well thought out with a light and airy main restaurant area, an intimate and cosy 'stübel', and a spacious bar area with comfortable seating with a theme of Italian racing cars and motorbikes with an actual Ducati in its midst. Our food was well presented, served in good time and absolutely delicious - my pizza rustica was one of the best I've ever tasted and my partner's ciabatta with roasted Mediterranean vegetables and mozarella (modified on request from goat's cheese) was equally enjoyable albeit it was initially served not hot enough for her liking - the waiter apologised and returned within a reasonable time with a completely fresh meal. It's not often these days to find Italian restaurants where the staff actually converse with each other in their native language which adds to both the authenticity and the ambience. The location may be a little off the beaten track with the river view marred by the electricity pylon cables stretching directly overhead but nonetheless we consider 'La Roma' to be a great find which we hope to frequent regularly.

la Roma has been the perfect place for both a quiet intimate meal but they are as good with larger groups. For the second year running all our neighbours go for a meal together and la Roma is without a doubt where everyone feels we get great food, great service and of course the best Tiramisu in the NORTH WEST!!!!!! Thanks to all the staff who stay friendly when we no doubt get a little rowdie towards the end of a long Italian feast!!!!

We strongly recommend a visit. Good homemade food at reasonable prices and looked after by a traditional landlady.

A nice surprise. Went on Friday a great selection of starters and mains. Cant understand why we haven't visited sooner. We'll definitely return.

hi i visited nam ploy last Saturday night,the surroundings,atmosphere was amazing.the food was the best Thai i have ever tasted,it was unbelievably fresh and tasty .i would only ever recommend nam ploy .the staff were really nice and efficient

Called for a meal last night. Our first visit since it changed hands. On entry we were ushered straight to our table without a chance to relax and have a drink at the bar whilst scanning the menu. When we received the menu the wine list was vary limited with no descriptions of any of the wines. That's the negatives over with. The staff were very friendly and polite and the food was prompt and delicious, My fillet steak was cooked just to my liking and the portions were just right,but the biggest surprise of the night was the bill. I have never had food and service of this quality for such a reasonable price. It looks like the new owners are a young couple trying to make a go of it. I wish them every success. Will I be going back? I've already booked!

Just enjoyed an absolutely fabulous meal at La Roma. Will be returning in the near future. Excellent food, service and ambiance. Reasonably priced, excellent friendly service and food to die for.

We used to go to La Roma when it was based at the King William in Bromley Cross and were very disappointed when Stefano had to move. We were delighted to find out recently where his new restaurant was and immediately booked for a meal. We were not disappointed. The food was even better than before, you are made welcome as soon as you enter the restaurant until you leave. We have a five year old daughter and she loves going to La Roma especially for the bread sticks and garlic bread with cheese. If you are an italian lover I would highly recommend La Roma for any occasion.

Sottovento has changed hands, but for the better! The menu is much better now. The staff can't do enough for you. There's no rush and the atmosphere is relaxed.

We went to Madisons for a friends birthday. It was possibly one of the worst meals I've ever eaten in a restaurant. The starters went straight from the freezer to the deep fat fryer, my main course salmon had been microwaved. mains were served with Aunt Bessies roast potatoes! The desserts were all from the freezer and doused in squirty canned cream. my children can cook better than that! And the staff treated it like a school canteen! The only saving grace was the singer who was the evenings entertainment. Shocking! never again.

La Roma is a relaxed Italian restaurant, the food is great & the service is always excellent (its our local as its within walking distance). If you like your food with a bit of a kick I would recommend the arrabiata. If you fancy something other than pizza or pasta, the Pollo Tricolore is really tasty. Its a lovely place to eat and enjoy before or after dinner drinks, with family, friends or for a romantic meal for two. Enjoy x

don't know whether I should do this as it could become too popular. Without question this place is one of the best restaurants in the country. Prices are unbelievable,food is superb, setting wonderful all it needs to give that finishing touch is proper napkins(I hate cheap paper ones)
