"As a regular to the dizzying heights and dazzling lights of Saturday nights on King Street, I drunkardly noticed this restaurant whilst eyeing up what looked to be a perfectly good half-eaten kebab on the floor next to the taxi queue. ‘That looks like a nice restaurant, I’ll have to try it sometime’ I thought, trying desperately to distract myself and resist the Donna meat treat. Fortunately despite my alcohol-fuelled appetite I decided against the enticing freebie on the roadside and went home to bed. Even more fortunate was remembering the restaurant, allowing me to take my parents as a treat the following evening. Firstly, the staff were all lovely. The gent who showed us to our table was all smiles, whilst the waitress was very attentive. The menu was huge and we were spoiled for choice. It was genuinely overwhelming how much choice you got. I had the ribs for starter and they were awesome. Genuinely the hottest food I’ve ever been served (temperature, not spice and the meat fell off the bone. My mum and dad got one of those daft cold meat starters (such a waste, who wants cold food?! but they thoroughly enjoyed it. Italian is usually my least favourite cuisine but my main course was really tasty. I had tagliatelle with ham and mushroom and it was lovely (and very filling as there was a lot there . We also had garlic bread with goats cheese (or feta, can’t 100% recall . My mum had a ‘starter’ of muscles for her main and she had more than enough. The thing that frustrated me was how quiet the restaurant was. In Wigan we are synonymous with not supporting new restaurants. We stick with our ‘favourites’ like Franco’s and Papa Luigi’s because they’re what we know. Let’s be honest, Franco’s is pretty naff, and whilst I really like the staff at Luigi’s, the food at this place was bigger and better. Give it a try and see what you think. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the bar downstairs had the potential to be nice (if people were actually in there . My only slight criticism was the lack of easy parking nearby and the fact it had pop music on as a background playlist (not exactly the ambience I was expecting . My Mrs on the other hand likes all that stuff so maybe I’m just turning into an old fart. Anyway, (really good food, nice people, good value, get a table booked and stop going to KFC on Robin Park."
