Valentines Romantico meal.
All the staff were very nice polite and created a lovely atmosphere. Candles and Roses on all the tables. Lots of food choices although as a Vegetarian not so which was a shame.
The Garlic cheese pittza was gorgeous. The restaurant was on the cool side although we did pick to sit near the kitchen area.
When paying for our meal there wasn't an option to add onto our card payment to leave a tip and as we don't carry cash couldn't leave a tip which was a shame. We would definitely come again to this lovely restaurant.

Had the sea food risotto, one of my favourite dishes and it didn't disappoint. Very tasty! Service was conscientious but not overbearing. Very enjoyable meal out.

Food was outstanding! And they have a fantastic selection of unusual flavoured vodkas, they're a new Bolton based company.
It was very very busy so drinks service was a little slow but nothing major. As we visited tea time there was a few noisy families sat near us, so the atmosphere was every so slightly loud. I'd just advise to visit later if you're not into noisy kids. Didn't bother us too much.

La Roma has become a favourite place for family celebrations and we were there recently for my grandson's 9th birthday. They have made some impressive improvements since our last visit - the outside of the building has been really smartened up, the food was even more delicious than before and the service was excellent. The staff even brought in my grandson's dessert with a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to him, without us asking them to. It was such a lovely experience. Full marks, La Roma!

We have been visiting La Roma for quite a while now and food is always excellent and tasty. Also staff are very polite and nothing is too much trouble. However yesterday my wifes pizza was brought to the table, a plain pizza with added chillis and peppers. A little bit sloppy in the middle but we asked the young male waiter to change and a new one was made straight away. Very unusual to need to complain but when the new one appeared she was more than happy. 2 limoncellos were offered complimentary at the end of the fab meal. Cant recommend La Roma enough to anyone fancying an excellent Italian meal, 1st Class.

This was my second visit to La Roma. First time I visited was with a colleague about a year ago and really enjoyed our lunch.
This evening I returned with my other half and his two kids and had, quite possibly, the worst meal I have had in recent memory.
Upon sitting down we were presented with menus which had seen better days. The actual content of the menu wouldn't have been out of place in 1990.
Myself and my other half ordered Calzone, one of the kids had a carbonara and the other a Diavolo pizza. Hands down the worst Calzone I have ever eaten in my life.
It tasted as if it had been made days in advance and then heated up. The ingredients were really poor - the ham was cheap, the salami was disgusting and never in my days have I had a Calzone which contained half a raw onion loosely chopped and raw mushrooms. There was no tomato sauce or cheese inside the Calzone. I had two mouthfuls and gave up.
The crockery was old and one of the side plates had a spider on it. The "coke" was cheap Pepsi postmix and the waitress couldn't tell the difference between the diet version and the full fat.
I was asked on two occasions if my meal was OK which clearly it wasn't and I complained to two separate waiters.
Ā£45 total for a really poor meal. Won't be returning anytime soon

Myself, my family and friends have been visiting this restaurant for many years and have AWAYS loved going until last night.
The food and service has always been ok before, but last night we was extremely disappointed.
Every time we go there is always a different group of people who work there and last night especially more than half of the staff did not have a clue what they was doing (didnāt know table numbers, anything about the menu or how to write a food or drink check to make it sure it was correct) itās as though they just guessed and hoped for the best.
Starters arrived, all 5 came apart from mine which arrived 10 minutes later and was taken to the wrong table... it was only because I was so hungry looking around that I heard the waiter shouting āCalamariā to a table on the other side of the restaurant. This happened a number of times last night with our drinks and food but with different tables.
Mains arrived... 3 out of 6 dishes was wrong and didnāt look like anything we read of the menu. We asked for a pasta dish to have extra chillis on and my pizza arrived completely full of chillis and the pasta dish had none. From working as a Manager in 2 different restaurants at the same time (one being Italian) for 4+ years I know that sometimes checks get misread and food may be incorrect. The pizza was taken away and changed but then arrived 15 minutes later, by this time everyone had nearly finished eating and I was beyond hungry. The pizza arrived completely different to what I asked for (with ham on) which is specifically asked for when taking the food order to have NO ham as I get an allergic reaction to it. I went bright red and then was asked if my pizza was ok? No most definitely not.
Service = poor
Food = awful
Quality of professionalism: 0/10
If it wasnāt for John (one of the waiters) this review could have been a lot worse. He was well presented, very professional and really looked after us. To make it a lot more refreshing he actually apologised for our evening not being great and really took care of our table. He is an absolute credit to that restaurant and they are very lucky to have him.
Just one last thing...
Donāt bother tipping the staff as they donāt get their tips, it goes straight in the owners back pocket.
John was close to being given a Ā£20 tip for all of his hard work but I had to stop my parents and grandparents because from previous visits I know the staff do NOT get tips.
Iām not one to ever write bad reviews but last night was appalling and we will no longer be in a rush to dine at La Roma for a very long time.
Would no longer recommend this restaurant.

Haven't been to La Roma for quite a while(around 18mths) we used to go every other week so that really spoke volumes about the food and staff , then on the last two vist's things changed so we decided to take a step back. Anyway tonight thought we would try to recapture the good old days and return. The staff are all new but still work to a high standard, but again the food was a bit disheartening. First we sat on a angle in a corner at a small table for 2 thought don't let it spoil the meal so carried on to order our food for the evening .my starter arrived mushrooms with pate in filo pastry (burnt) returned to the kitchen to be replaced with still very very cold chilled hard mushrooms the waitress was so apologetic and returned my starter for the second time to return with a third attempt . This time they were edible but not the best the waitress was so good and deducted the item from our bill.overall wasn't a excellent experience but standard. We don't think things have got any worse but then again isn't s vast improvement do think it will be a while before we return again.

Been to this restaurant a lot over the years but on this occasion didn't get much attention for our table of 12, seemed to be chasing around for a waiter/waitress for drinks all night, food wasn't great and seating around the bar area was cold, wasn't as welcoming as I have known it in the past, several meals simply weren't eaten as they seemed a little bland with no concern then they was unable to fulfil the deserts order as they ran out of chocolate fudge cake, when the seemingly automated 10% surcharge added to the bill was queried we was told "just don't pay it " by an evidently offended waiter, we always tip and still did so on this occasion but thought that their surcharge of Ā£50 was too high considering the service received, unfortunately wasn't a great experience this time.

I have been many times to La Roma for lots of different occasions. Last night we went to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. As always the staff and service was very good. But the food didn't seem to have the same standard. I had the fillet steak which was very small for the price of Ā£24 but cooked to perfection and very tasty . On the plate were a further 3 potatoes ...... and thats it (i had the same dish multiple times before but never recieved so little food before ). It came with a bowl of mixed vegetables that were clearly undercooked. My husband had the veal and he wasn't impressed at all . My son had the salmon and his girlfriend the seafood spaghetti and both dishes tasted very good as well as the starters we had . Over all i think that some dishes are overpriced . I hope it was a one off as i really like La Roma and its atmosphere.

Went for a meal for my mum's 60th 13/3/17 the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive and one of them gave my two nieces lollies they even brought out a cake which was a nice surprise for my mum I would highly recommend to anyone who likes Italian food.
Madeleine Morris
The staff are efficient and attentive. The food was delicious. There were 7 of us for lunch and everyone enjoyed it. I have dined a La Roma many times and can honestly say I've never had a bad or inferior meal.
Tracey Motby
Considering we called in on a sunday afternoon on a very chilly and snowy day, the service was a little poor. Waited over an hour for our main course to arrive. I ordered canneloni but it was bery dry - hardly any sauce in the dish. My husband enjoyed his rack of lamb though. I love La Roma, but in this visit i was a little disappointed.
Julie Wild
Simply the best food fab staff excellent just luv it luv it luv it if you have never been try ur at least once you won't regret it
Cathryn Wignall
Was at la Roma yesterday, called in for a coffee and stayed for lunch, really lovely lunch, I feel really bad I couldn't eat it all, but Wilf my husband managed to eat it all plus a large ice cream desert, excellent value of money, I think we found a new restaurant . Staff very friendly and service excellence. Lovely setting at the side of the river with the sun shining , will be back with family.
Keli Smith

Alan Robinson
I have been there quite a few times. I love the chicken liver starters and penne al arrabiata. Nice place for a decent family meal
Martin J Robinson
Last night was a credit to the team at La Roma, the restaurant and bar was busy, all the staff never stopped and the Food was fab. Been going to La Roma for many years and last night was one of the best. New menu is a lot better
Ann Drake
Loved the meal and the atmosphere as we celebrated our birthdays. The magician was a bonus. However very disappointed that one of my new birthday presents, a Radley umbrella, which I mistakenly left under the table in the bar area was not handed in. Thieving s***s
