French restaurant in Prestwich

“First time attending L’AQUILA and it was an outstanding experience! Emma made our visit truly memorable, and the food was absolutely unbelievable. I would definitely recommend it. My daughter, who is 11, said it made her day – such a family-friendly place! I Would maybe change music to fit experience other than that minor thing it honestly was remarkble x”

“Delicious food. Lovely service and great value for money. 2 young girls who served where very friendly and hospitable”

“This place is five ⭐ stars!! Afternoon event for a Holy Communion! Food, atmosphere and staff all amazing. A sense that they all enjoy their work!! Very clean and probably the best breakfast food I’ve had in years! Perfection!! Value for money also was a 5/5!!!! My son who has autism enjoyed his food and ate it so that’s a big compliment!!! We will be back!!!”

“Fantastic lunch today at this hidden gem! Lovely friendly service, generous portions and everything we had was totally delicious. The aubergine starter was gorgeous and the lamb shish perfectly seasoned and cooked. We will definitely be back!”

“What an amazing venue this is, recently moved from another location, there's an incline up to the front door but NO steps. I will definatley be going again, my initial thoughts were that you had to book a meal or a show to go in, but NO you can just go in for drinks like any other bar. There's big screens showing current sports events and if there's an evening performer on there are soundproof doors separating the 2 rooms. Great for a night out keep a look out on Facebook or Skiddle (event ticket app) for upcoming shows. We saw an ABBA tribute act and they were brilliant. There's plenty of seats. When you book your tickets you get a table all with a great view. A waitress will come round to take any drinks orders and pay by card so you won't miss any of the show either. Everywhere is spotless, there's plenty of places for a photo op, there's even a photo booth downstairs near the loos. And all the staff were lovely too.”

“Fantastic and trendy. They have a new menu which was epic. Also had a dj on while we were there and that mixed it up a bit, which was great. Fantastic staff and a cracking little place.”

“Lovely place, right next to Heaton Park metro. Only had a brew and a cake but it’s spacious, light and airy, with nice, big booths and a sunny back yard (looks like a good set up for DJ’s too) Coffee was good, sweet stuff was from Silver Apples, so pretty familiar and more than decent quality. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely head back and try some proper food and drinks soon”

“Enjoyed everything ☺️ The burgers were just right. Felt sorry for the lady staff member Lisa Ann yesterday she was run off her feet with everyone, and some customers had attitude (no need bit**s be kind) And TGI Fridays get more staff!! We will call again for sure”

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“We went on Saturday night to try the dinner menu and ordered a set of small plates. They were all excellent. I don’t even know which one was my favourite! But the tuna tartar, pea risotto, tempura, and the lemon sole were absolutely amazing. Do not miss the orange flavoured white wine from Mendoza Argentina. It significantly enhanced our experiences, highly recommended! The service was attentive, knowledgeable abs kind. The atmosphere also provided a relax and mellow environment. The music played was also the right volume (hate it when some places are so loud you just want to leave!) We will definitely be back very soon.”

“WOW! very impressed! Food was on point! Especially the Turkish sausage starter! The service was absolutely fantastic. Good banter from the front of house staff, they know how to help people enjoy their night! Lovely decor, really nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for a lovely evening! Best Turkish restaurant we've been to!”

“I attended a 50th birthday in the Cuckoo space. Very intimate and well presented space. We caught the tram to Prestwich and it was only a five minute walk away. Recommended for low key parties”

“We’ve been here twice recently because it’s just so good! The first time I had the Turkish eggs with halloumi and sausage, then the second time I went for the chicken and pancakes, both were amazing. One visit was around 11am on a Saturday and there was about a 15-minute wait, but definitely worth it. The other time we went a bit later and got a table straight away. You can book ahead, but they also keep some tables for walk-ins. Staff are nice and friendly and really good to accommodate allergies too”

“All the food, service and environment are excellent. Highly recommended to come over and chill. Lots of space to park outside the restaurant.”

“This is such a great spot for brunch or a drink, relaxed atmosphere downstairs and there's an upstairs and outside seating available. I have the veggie breakfast and I was skeptical at how good broccoli would be on an 11am meal but I didn't need to be! This breakfast delivered. The broccoli, the hummus the Potatoes each bit was tastier then the last!”

“Wow!!! 1st time we've ordered from Francos and it was gorgeous. Finally an authentic Italian pizza in Prestwich/Whitefield. Amazing ingredients and produce. Will definitely order again. Thank you”

“All the food is great, fresh made. I particularly like spam and scrambled eggs on bagel or jacket potato tuna mayo and cheese. Love this place”

“Great service and excellent food. It was our first time here and was really enjoyable. The meals were large and very tasty. Excellent value for money .”

“We came with 21 people for a work event The service was 10 out of 10 everyones different orders all came out together the food was outstanding Everyone there felt the same great atmosphere very accommodating And staff were great and friendly”

“The friendly owner's are very nice. The food for the 6 or 7 times I've been in the last 6 months is always very good, freshly prepared and piping hot.”

“Absolutely amazing place , I was really impressed with delicious food and very nice costumer services Definitely coming back here ❤️”
