About This Pub
Ah, La Filia – what a gem tucked away in Altrincham! From chatting about the reviews, it sounds like they've nailed the Italian experience with fresh ingredients and hearty portions that have folks coming back for seconds. I love how the staff go the extra mile, being generous with their insights and making you feel right at home, which really adds to the nice, relaxed atmosphere for a good catch-up over dinner. On the flip side, though, there was that one comment about a dish not living up to expectations, like a Caesar salad that missed the mark on the greens, so it might not be perfect every time compared to other local Italian haunts. Still, with an impressive 4.8 rating from loads of happy visitors, it's well worth a try if you're in the mood for something genuine and tasty – just plan for those evening slots as it's not open all day.

Lovely mea,l friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be returning. My husband had a calzone which was huge and very tasty.
We came for my mums Birthday, we had a fantastic experience, the food was incredible and we had Luigi as our server. He was generous and insightful and informed us all about the food. We are all absolutely thrilled by the service and the speed of which it came out. Couldn’t recommend more!
Wow proper real Italian food. You can tell the chef is from Rome. Such amazing pasta we have been back 3 nights on the trot. Lovely staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to take my parents to try it out.
Being able to walk in on a Saturday night should have been a red flag... although staff were very welcoming and attentive. Sadly the food just wasn't as good as other italian restaurants in the area. I ordered caesar salad and the leaves weren't even correct. Instead of little gem/romain it was a mix of all kinds including lambs lettuce which had gone soggy with the hot chicken. It wasn't good at all. The prawns were expensive and if you look at another one of my recent reviews you can see the clear difference of the 2 dishes.... the prawns were served on orange slices which is just very 1980s in my opinion and did nothing to enhance the flavour of the dish. Sadly it wasn't for us
Amazing quality food, fresh ingredients, filling portions and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Great dinner option.
