Sorrento Orrell - Wigan

The staff were delightful and welcoming, creating a cozy dining atmosphere. The food was absolutely fantastic; I truly had the best seafood pasta I've ever tasted! The stone-baked pizza was also incredibly delicious!

I absolutely love this family-run restaurant! They put in so much effort to deliver exceptional food, service, and ambiance for the Formby community. I couldn't recommend them more!

We ordered three appetizers. The burrata special was decent, but the garlic bread was rather ordinary and lacked any prominent garlic flavor. The Patate Ripiene sounded enticing on the menu as Italian potato skins, but we were perplexed when it came out as half a baked potato with nothing inside, simply covered in tomato sauce and a bit of bacon. I wouldn't recommend it. The Tagliatelle Salmon was also disappointing; it had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for a while, resulting in a dry top. It lacked flavor and sauce, and the salmon seemed just mashed into it. Again, not recommended. The lasagna was basic, simply topped with plain tomato passata that was poured over with no seasoning, resulting in an overwhelming tomato taste. We initially ordered the Gamberoni Piri Piri as a starter but were advised by the owner to get the larger portion for one of our party members who doesn't have a big appetite. We agreed, but it turned out to be overpriced at £24.95 for what we received. The sauce was decent, but nothing special, and there was just a piece of bread on the side. Overall, we left feeling disappointed and felt that, given the prices, we expected more. While the restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere and decor, I won't be returning, which is a shame given that I live in the village. Perhaps it was just an off day, but it wasn't overly busy, and when you pay those prices, you expect a higher standard.

Brilliant night out with colleagues from Formby Health rooms. Many thanks to all that made it a really good time

Lovely Italian restaurant with attentive waiters. Plenty of menu choices.
