Reviews in Bolton

Went last night for a family meal. It's changed quite a bit since I last dined their. Excellent value £150 for 6 of us including 3 courses wine and drinks, nice ambience. The starters were good if just a little small. The mains were excellent good sized portions, the steaks were enjoyed by all and the pork belly nice and moist. A nice selection of desserts. Would definitely recommend to others. And look forward to going again over the summer months.

We keep on going back to the best Italian in the Manchester area. No point in going to any other Italian when we have this gem on our doorstep.

Great place to dine for choice of food, friendliness as a couple, or as a group. Lovely surroundings and plenty parking.

We attended as a group of eighteen on Saturday 10th April 2010 to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. The restaurant was extremely busy at the time with people waiting on the stairs leading to the bottom floor and all along the entrance as clearly the establishment had not turned people away. As the entire party of friends had not arrived by 8.00pm we were not allowed to sit at the table, place drink orders and neither were we given menus. By 8.15pm our table had been given away and we were then seated on the bottom floor. When our drinks arrived, to our disgust we found a dead wood lice in the jug of Mango Lassi drink. What was even more appalling was the response we received from the waiter who was obviously not disturbed by the event. His response was "S***" and "these things happen!". We then had to inform the floor manager who gave a shuffled apology and replaced the drink. The evening got worse as our orders arrived almost two hours late and even then we had to complain twice to chase up the orders. Having been seated by 8.30pm our food was placed in front of us at 10.45pm! Not once did the staff give us any information as to when our orders were likely to be with us. Neither did we receive any sort of an apology for the less than dissatisfying service. Our orders came partially wrong and again was bought to the attention of the waiter who was not in the slightest interested to rectify the situation as he was clearly too busy. Unfortunately the owner was unable to deal with the complaints effectively and was more concerned with where the wood lice originated from! To remedy the situation he offered to deduct a measly fifty pounds off the bill of three hundred pounds, which really was an insult to the way we had been treated. To make matters worse Mr______ did not offer any apology for the events of the evening or accept that the matter could have been handled better. Had the situation occurred at a more upmarket establishment in Manchester the outcome would have been totally different. What began as a happy occasion turned out to be a complete "Sizzling"? disaster.

Very good value restaurant, we just live round the corner so we are very frequent dinners, staff are very attentive and meals are delicious! Highly recommend

Wonderful place, fantastic food, service very good, the surroundings are very Italian. A pleasure to visit...... typical friendly Italian hospitality.

Coffee OK, sandwiches nothing special. Parking difficult, off a very busy roundabout, and elderly may struggle to walk up the very steep hill. If its to eat in...much prefer The Retreat 1 minute away on Chorley New Road. If its to find something a bit different as an ingredient, its OK. But I'll stick to M and S for my parma ham thanks.

Have been to Nam Ploy, but the cuisine is not Thai, more like chinese, i was very dissapointed.

EXCELLENT PRIDE OF BOLTON IT IS!! WILL BE BACK!

i have been to sunar gaw many times and the friendly staff make you feel so welcome.... the food is amazing and cheap. all my family love it

Me and my missus decided on giving Madison`s a try one Saturday night. We went without booking and the place was packed out but luckily they had a table for us. The interior was very modern and people in the place where dress from smart to casual After looking on the menu we both were spoilt for choice, we liked everything on it. Prices were very reasonable and a lot cheaper than most places in Bolton. It took us around 20 minute to narrow it down to 3 mains each, at the end I went for the lemon sole Al Normandy with prawns mussels in a garlic cream sauce and it was to die for, It was so fresh and tasty superbly, I'm a very big eater and takes a lot to fill my appetite, but the portion was huge, I had to leave some. My missus went for the pork fillet and she said it was so tender and juicy. Along with our mains we ordered chips and we couldn't believe to amount of chips there were on the plate, there was about double the amount you would normally get and they were fat cut ones my favourite ones. We both had starters but wish we didn`t because we were so full we didn`t have room for deserts. Definitely a 10 out of 10

This is a regular Restaurant for us. Wonderful dinning experience everytime. Totally relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food as always whether its a Steak or Pasta. Cant wait for our next visit!! Where else can you get a quality meal with wine for under £50.00?

Visited La Roma for the first time on Saturday night 6th March without prior booking. Although the restaurant was very busy we were accommodated without a problem. Very, comfortable and relaxing surroundings in the bar and restaurant areas. Excellent venue, excellent Host, excellent, staff, excellent service, excellent food. What more can one say?!!

We visited Indigo for the first time on Friday night 5th March for my Birthday. We found the service and the quality of the food really good definitely the best in Farnworth, we will return soon.

A recent visit to Retreat left me a little disappointed! The venue is lovely since it was done up and the atmosphere is great. You cant fault the service from the friendly staff but when it comes to the food im afraid I cant agree with the other reviews on here! We went in a big group and every single person agreed that the food was average and disappointing when you take into account the other great qualities of this restaurant. The menu is very poor and everything seemed to come with Roast Veg (soggy) and Chili Rice (cold and dry) i had a huge tuna steak which was extremely dry and chewy. The price is reasonable and I will go back and give the new menu a try when it comes out but only because I live down the road...I wouldnt make a trip to come here if I were you!

Hi I visit la roma at least once a week for lunch and a couple of times a month for dinner, i held my birthday there. Wonderful fresh food and wonderful staff! x

Went to La Roma for Valentines, service was fantastic and the food was second to none. Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant, in a lovely setting with a great atmosphere. The restaurant also has a relaxed, comfortable bar area to enjoy pre meal and after meal drinks.

the food here is great, the service is too. seems like nothing is too much trouble for the staff. the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. two thumbs up!!
