Ariete Italian Bar And Restaurant in St. Helens

The staff here were full of energy, attentive and polite. The manager came over to take our order, not because of anything being amiss, simply as a show of taking pride in his business and wishing to serve his customers, the drinks were well mixed, the food arrived in good time, generous portions and really we received some of the best food I've tasted in a long time. I feel that the chef's here are confident, capable and not afraid to be bold with their use of flavour. This will become a regular eatery for us now

Very tasty dishes here. Staff are very helpful and polite. Reasonable good prices for the menu. Parking is a few spaces on the main road or to the side of the restaurant.

I've been coming here for years went for a meal last Wednesday with my sister and our Claire and as a extra surprise a Elvis impersonator too as a big Elvis fan and a fantastic meal it topped off a memorable night..

First time visitors but we loved it. Food fantastic and the service was really good.It can get a little loud.Great place. Give it a go. You won't regret it ❗

First time and not disappointed. Ambience is great, soft music in the background , also busy I wasn't too loud.Staff looking professional and are very attentive.We ordered Mozzarella Fritto and Fritto Misto (courgettes, Squid and King prawns) very nice indeed.For mains we ordered tagliatelle salmone and risotto it was tasty , well balanced in flavour and texture. Presentation was very pleasing to the eye.Beverages are of good variety and by the way very tasty 😆 wine.lager ,cocktails, what more do you want?I limed the decor ,pleasing to the eye.The toilets are clean and accessible, baby change and disability toilet is available. Not sure if a wheelchair would fit into the cubicle.Entrance is wheelchair accessible.Highchairs are available.Booking is recommended, as this establishment is rightfully very busy.

Been meaning to go for a long time and glad we decided to finally get there. Only issue was we requested a quiet corner table but was put opposite the live music. Thankfully was only on for 20 mins finishing his set. We did go early on a Sunday so maybe book later in the evening next tr

I came on a Sunday with the Sunday menu, got the chicken. It was really delicious, as was the dessert after. Both came out quite quickly. There was a live musician who I didn't even realise was live until I saw him because he was that good. The staff were wonderful. I also went alone and didn't feel judged. Overall I really liked it. Thanks staff, musician and chefs for a really nice experience 😊

Booked for a works party 3 months ago only six of us ☹️ sent in our pre booked menus basically 2 lamb mains and 4 turkey dinners plus starters n sweets £34 95 per head started well taken promptly to our table at 7.30 drinks ordered and starters served ( lovely food) ordered more drinks and waited and waited asked a few times where was mains then they started bringing dessert ?? Maitre'd arrived offered us a bottle of wine for our wait and an explanation that they were busy as lots of people just before us had ordered steaks well done or medium hence the delay !!! - to be fair declined the wine as no one in our party was drinking wine and a complimentary round of drinks was provided - 9 :15 harrah mains appeared couple had no pigs in blankets or stuffing but that was soon rectified - the food was lovely and deserved 5 stars 🌟 long wait for the table to be cleared by which time we had little time to eat our deserts as we had a pre booked mini bus again cannot fault them for the discount for the deserts which we were unable to wait for - all in all lovely food lovely surroundings although the tables were packed in Like sardines and I must say our waiter a total star of a young man who sorry we did not get his name who is a credit to you could not do enough for us or apologize enough - would I go back yes but not at Christmas as I feel they had taken too many bookings could NOT fault the food. The photo is my half eaten main as I was that hungry I forgot to take a picture first

Ariete is definitely the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in the last five years.It all started with a simple and efficient website, where I was able to make my booking and have a good look at the menu. They even have a space where you can make personal requests.On arrival, a well trained team, extremely polite and friendly took care of me and my family.Everyone very professional but caring.Each one of us (we were 3) ordered a different entry and main course.I am not going to describe each course, but let me tell you that everything was perfect. The sauces, the pasta it self, the seafood, all perfectly prepared.I strongly recommend Ariete to everyone who enjoys an excellent Italian experience in a happy ambiance with a friendly and professional team. It is a must.You must be asking what about the price. Not too expensive, I can tell you it was worth every cent. The type of restaurant that you leave thinking when will you be back.

Lovely place. Been here a few times and sat outside this time since it was nice and a warm evening. Cocktails and food, couldn't fault it. Definitely recommended for food and drink. Lovely atmosphere.
