The 30 Best Italian restaurant in Bury

“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”

“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”

“Its very good place to eat in the stuff very helpful and friendly , the food really tasty”

“Been here 4 times and thoroughly enjoyed every visit. This is a really well- run restaurant and nicely appointed, creating a really pleasant environment to catch up over the well presented and really tasty food and well- chosen wine list. The steak, carbonara and lamb are all just delightful. Not the cheapest, but thoroughly worth it. I'll be returning regularly.”

“Really enjoyed our meal. Great service & reasonable pricing for party of 3.”

“This was an amazing find. It was a typically rainy Saturday afternoon in Bury and me, my partner and our baby daughter were seeking refuge and a bite to eat. We were greeted with great hospitality and swift service. The baby was hungry so we ordered her something with the drinks. We had calamari and caprese and from the first bite of calamari I knew we had made a great choice. We then shared the mixed fish platter which was absolutely delicious. Best Italian I have been to in a very long time. This place needs to be frequented!”

“Live around the corner from this pizza takeaway. It's not been open long so tonight we had the pizza takeaway and a garlic bread. First off ,real home baked pizza dough, second was the box was bone dry,no dripping grease under the pizza which was absolutely beut. The choice of garlic bread and pizza toppings are amazing. All in all.10/10 from me. New owners should be proud.”

“Love this takeaway. Pizza is delicious. Kebabs are full of flavour, not many veggie options but never had any complaint about food. Always delicious. Accidentally ordered for collection but they happily delivered to us in less than half an hour.”

“Without a shadow of a doubt, the best restaurant I have ever been to. Visited on a whim last night, booked an hour before they opened and were made to feel welcome immediately. A lovely little place with absolutely fantastic food. I'm not usually the adventurous type when it comes to food, but there wasn't a single thing I didn't finish. I honestly considered licking the plates! Each dish was a masterpiece, and if perfection is lots of little things done right then they nailed it. I cannot recommend the place highly enough, please go and show this little business some support, they truly deserve it.”

“Visited today, absolutely outstanding food. I had the chicken wrap which was so fresh and full of flavour, my husband had the lamb and beef wrap with extra spicy sauce and again it was full of flavour. We will definitely be returning - beat kebab wraps we have had ❤️”

“I’ve been going to Roma since 1999. That makes me feel oldddd, but other than the building becoming a part of Morrisons all those years ago, nothing else has changed. That’s a great thing. Superb coffee, great service, lovely staff, high quality deli produce and products, and the Tonno Bianco pizza is still my favourite pizza of all time. I’d always highly recommend this fantastic deli/cafe”

“The best Italiana pizza ever. It’s really good and the staff are nice and friendly. Best regards Jesper and Tina from denmark.”

“Enjoyed my visit here. It's fairly pricey, but (as you can see from the photos) the portions are pretty generous and the good is delicious. I had the ham/pineapple pizza, with the caramelised pineapple being a particular highlight. The truffle fries were also tasty. Worth a visit, a lovely addition to Prestwich.”

“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!”

“Working my way through the extensive and varied menu. Pizzeria Bella Italia never disappoints. Even if you can't eat pasta there is something for everyone. My favourite starter is their garlic mushrooms....omg so divine!!! Who'd of thought how delicious the humble mushroom can be when cooked the way Bella does. I can't fault the food, quality, staff, atmosphere and magic of this lovely restaurant in Bury. It is popular with all age groups and families as well as couples. I had mussels in garlic and white wine. The veg is al dente and beautiful. I always look forward to dining here as the food and staff make you feel at home and always welcoming.”

“Our first time here yesterday and I so wish we had visited previously. The service by Ricardo and the attention to detail and food was excellent. The monk fish as the main was recommended by Ricardo was perfect! Will definitely be going back - the prices for two with two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine just over £60 - absolute value for money and so reasonable.”

“Mezzaluna has become our favourite Italian restaurant. We love to bring more and more friends here, to try their wonderful menu! The staff are all so lovely and friendly, they even help you make up your mind when you're uncertain what to have! The facilities are clean and well kept, the atmosphere is cosy yet spacious. We look forward to every opportunity to come back! Our favourites are the carbonara and another dish with pistachios crushed and mixed in. Their desserts are freshly made on site and if you get the chance try their profiteroles, you won't be disappointed!”

“More recent visit: My partner and I visited Verona midweek and had a wonderful time. We were both spoiled for choice with all the amazing sounding dishes on the menu. The man who owns the restaurant is very friendly with a great sense of humour. It was a nice touch when he came over to take our order. There aren't many tables so I'd recommend booking in advance as it always seems busy, and I can see why! Took my mother for Mother's Day. Phoned up on the day and they were able to fit us in at prime time immediately. Food was served quickly and tasted great for a very reasonable price. Would definitely go again.”

“Really enjoyed our visit to Baci on father's day. The menu is really extensive and extremely good value. Service was good and our kids were catered for well. Will definitely return.”

“Just had the most amazing meal here! From start to finish, you felt very well looked after! The Pizza was probably the best I've had in a long time! My wife enjoyed the lasagne. PLUS WE WERE ENTERTAINED BY SIR ELTON JOHN! Cannot wait to return. Best night out in a very long time. I recommend the garlic bread with tomato. Exquisite! 5*****”

“Amazing food, excellent quality friendly staff, great service what more do you need!!! (Cheesy garlic bread is the best around!!)”

“I had to post as we had an amazing meal at Porada tonight. We had a party of 5 with one coeliac. Lots of choice on the menu and there was a variety of dishes ordered, everything was amazing especially the Gamberoni Taormina main.”

“Park on the side street, this place is small with two tables so if you’re coming with a big crew you maybe need to stand up and eat, the music is ok but the volume definitely needs notching down a bit. Me and two friends came and ordered the kings platter which came with dirty fries, wings, chicken breast, zinger burgers and more. The star of the show was the zinger burger and dirty fries which was 9/10 so definitely try them. A lil arcade machine in the corner for your pleasure to reminisce old times. Payment via cash or contactless and they also do milkshakes well. The owner is very passionate about the business and he has a team of ladies working behind and everything seems to work seamlessly. I will go again cuz I enjoyed the zinger burger and dirty fries.”

“Great birthday experience for the mother in law and family. Superbly ran pizza express in a lovely location. Food was fast and delicious. We were served by Polly and others from the team. They really went out to make our experience an absolute pleasure. Normally a pizza fanatic I tried the lasagna today, absolutely delicious, hot fresh and tasty. Lovely personalised birthday dessert platter was a really nice local touch. 10 out of 10 well done, clearly a engaging and close knit team delivering excellence!”

“Ordered 31 Pizzas for our christmas do, ALL arrived hot and tasty there were no complaints, plenty of choice, EVERYONE was happy and from a catering side it was simple to arrange and minimal hassle with no problems at all, thank you to Mahmood and all the staff.”

“Great food. Owner is also a good guy.”

“Picked up a special pizza from here. MacAttack, was so good and fresh. (Halal options were also available for pretty much every pizza) Good quality ingredients and such friendly staff. Pizza made in front of you, quick and efficient. Can tell the owner takes pride in culinary craftsmanship. Definitely come here if you’re wanting some good pizza. Burys got a gold mine right here.”

“Their Maxicana Pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. Fact.”

“My last delivery of pizza, which I ordered most weeks in the year arrived with uncooked doe !. I asked for a free pizza on next order as it was inedible to settle the bill as I lost out . Milano refused to meet me half way. I'll no longer be going back to Milano . He's rude ,and unable to meet his customers concerns. His loss ,id normally spend around 600 pounds a year..”
