“Spaghetti was beautiful, lots of flavour. Garlic bread was crispy and strong. Pizza was great but a little cold, which made the cheese congeal. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very cosy and beautiful little place to visit with an outdoor seating area.”

Got a delivery, it was the best make your own pizza I have had in a very long time! They are cooked absolutely perfect and they taste like a pizza should taste! Very very good prices for the type of pizzas you get! You won't find better pizzas than here, especially for delivery. Absolutely brilliant food and brilliant service, I will definitely be back, this will be my number 1 spot for my pizzas! If you're after a freshly cooked pizza without the grease this is the place! 10 out of 10 stars if If I could give it. 🙌🙌🙌

We had a lovely lunch at Antico Forno. The food was delicious and the apple juice was freshly squeezed. The children were so happy with their desserts. The service was wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend it. Thank you.

We have been many times now, this place is fantastic. Fresh real food. All made by the very friendly owner. Pizzas are delicious and how pizza should be. Loaded fries are perfect too, made from fresh ingredients like everything else. We keep returning for a reason!

“Cannot praise Casa Carlos enough. Right from being greeted by the lovely Sophia the atmosphere was second to none. Feeling relaxing, comfortable and at home it took me back to my many times abroad visiting tapas bars certainly could have been anywhere but Wigan Town centre. We were offered drinks then later ordered our food at no time did we feel rushed and our personal requests were taken into consideration with no fuss. Oh my days the food was delicious and presented so well and good portions compliments to Callum the chef perfection on a plate! Deserts were delicious almost too nice to eat as they were presented so well. As we wrapped up our dining experience we all agreed we would definately be returning . A beautiful place amazing staff and wonderful atmosphere with fantastic prices to top it off. Thankyou Sophia, Callum and Casa Carlos”

“We enjoyed a cracking evening celebrating St Patrick's Day with live music and excellent food. The service was superb with and the staff attentive and friendly. Tom and Danny (the live entertainers) were fantastic too, and we thoroughly enjoyed a sing along! The young chap who played the piano between sets was also excellent. Highly recommended!!!”

“Can only comment on the proper chips, baileys hot chocolate and the service but all three were spot on! Proper pub hand cut chips - amazing sized portions Bailey Hot chocolates were lush just what I needed after a day without power And the service, the two ladies and one gent behind the bar were very accommodating of me needing to charge my devices, really lovely quick service. All in all, would return as the bill was a lot less than I thought it would be! Great prices”

“Me and a few girls from work went for food and drinks on Thursday 1st August. They had a fantastic 2 course meal deal for £15.99 I think. We booked our table for 5pm we had a drink and poppadoms first then we orderd our meal. Food came quick. Food was really tasty and decent sized portion we couldn't eat it all. We had finished our 2 course by 6.10pm we ordered more drinks and then we got desert girls had ice cream I had Martini Espresso. Next thing we know it's 8.40pm. We had our food and drinks outside as the weather was really nice and we knew we would be loud with all the laughing we do. Was a fantastic night. So much so I booked our next visit before we left. Waiting on staff were fantastic really attentive up for a laugh and a joke with you. Especially Hasam who was really friendly and chatty.”

“We visited this week on Monday afternoon between 3-5pm to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday! We was staying away for the weekend nearby at the glamping pods & we found this place online! And it was easy to walk in and had plenty of tables The small plate menu was what attracted me to dine here and it did not disappoint! The food is absolutely unbelievable! We had to thank the chef and ask him to come out because everything was perfect! The service was phenomenal, a lady called Louise was our host and she was the most welcoming and friendliest lady! We all ordered different small plates and sides for a 5 person table and felt it’s best share! Portions was huge, and all the food came out at the same time! We even ordered extra tacos because they was too nice!! Beautiful restaurant & atmosphere! Amazing prices & quality!! 10/10 restaurants & bar! Parking was also easy in the area for a main road, as there is a pub over the road called The Stag which has a parking meter, and it’s fairly affordable! And we went to the pub first for a drink to register free parking! Thanks everyone we had the best celebration here!! X”
