The Fat Italian in Sefton

Visited for dinner prior to going to aintree and had an absolute fab meal . very friendly helpful staff who couldn't possibly do any more to improve there hospitality.we after having a great day at the races ,re visited to have yet another fab meal

The staff were fantastic and really added to the intimate atmosphere, thanks for the experience, we attended as a foursome and were allocated a two hour table. Fortunately one of the staff moved us to another table and it really made the night for us all, thanks.

Meals were pretty awesome! Very clean, didn't need to wait too long. Staff are brilliant very welcoming and friendly (especially Shaneen)! We will definitely be back soon! 😋🇮🇹😋🇮🇹

Experience was underwhelming. Couldn't get a table in the Ormskirk fat italian so booked here. Heard so much about it but the staff were really not very good. No one greeted us and staff rushed by us standing there at the entrance so we had to go toward the bar and have to tell them we had a reservation which was very awkward. The staff were very unnattentive to our table throughout and seemed as if they wanted to rush away whenever we had to call them over. Dishes were taken away very infrequently. One member of our party has a coffee cup which he finished before we ordered food and was constantly missed when staff took away dishes. So much so that we had to ask for it to be taken when we got our desserts. Also I asked our waitress if they do a stout beer. She went on a ramble about the names of beers available and how they are not on draught etc. I then asked again if she does stout beers and she again started to ramble before going back to the bar to ask about it. I assume she didn't know what a stout is, which is fine as I don't know my beer brands well either. But just say you don't know and ask the bar in the first place? I can see you don't do draught and the brands you have available, it's on the menu. Having to listen to things I didn't aak about and having to ask the same question twice shouldnt be necessary. The food tasted good but was expensive and dishes were small. I might try the Ormskirk branch to see if its any better as it seems most of the issues were with the waiting staff. To top it off it was clear our waitress knew she hadn't been very good as she changed from a quiet and rushed character to all of a sudden very smiley and inquisitive about our lives once it was time to get the tip! She should have been like that whilst she was standing around chatting to her colleagues

Lovely place to eat great food and have wonderful service,nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend this place to everyone

Food always great, love going here, staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu/specials.

Absolute little gem of a place. Was there Saturday for a family birthday, and every dish that we had was amazing. The staff were equal to the food, they were so nice, helpful and friendly, especially with the little ones. Our 9 year old is wanting to go back already. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Read so many great reviews on this place so really wanted to try it out. Went last night and I have mixed views. Lovely restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful but slow. There was a long wait to take our food order and people who came in after us had their order taken first when we were clearly ready to have our order taken. Starters were gorgeous. Could not fault any of the dishes. Main course was delivered fast and presented well, but we didn't enjoy any of them. My sons pizza was over the top with toppings and a little undercooked so you had to eat it with a knife and fork. Flavours weren't great and under seasoned but the worst part was my daughter's soggy overcooked pasta. She also found it to be very heavy with garlic and did not enjoy it at all. We were then waiting ages to get any attention to get the bill.

Had a beautiful meal at the weekend. The food was fantastic, especially the black pudding starter and the staff were great fun - we even shared a limoncello at the end of the night! Next time we are in Liverpool we will most certainly be going back. Would absolutely recommend if you are in the area, thank you for a fantastic evening!

Went for our anniversary meal and it was amazing! Delicious food and excellent service. I can't decide what I would recommend most, but the tiramisu is one of the best I've had!
