"I was surprised by the positive reviews and the restaurant's high ranking in Bury. The service was mediocre - drinks were served promptly, but we had to wait a long time to order food. Unfortunately, my daughter, who has an egg allergy, was unable to enjoy any pasta dishes as all the pasta contained egg. Despite the menu stating that ingredients could be adjusted, the staff did not make any effort to accommodate her allergy. My tagliatelle was good, but my wife's lasagne was disappointing with burnt pasta on the bottom and raw on top. The pizzas were average. Overall, there are better Italian restaurants in Bury."

"POSITIVES: really tasty food all of our plates were empty and we enjoyed each dish good choices for vegetarian and pescatarian meals NEGATIVES: Pub was freezing cold, we were both in our coats and still had cold fingers and toes. It killed the atmosphere for us on a Friday evening pricey for what it is and it’s location, it was the same prices as a decent restaurant in Manchester, but without the ambiance. I imagine the rent in Holcombe is much less than manchester and they might invest in some heating tiny portions! We ordered 7 dishes between 2 and were both still hungry afterwards. Average dish was around £10 and they didn’t touch the sides. 10% service charge auto added. I hate it when any restaurant add this as this takes away the customer’s kind gesture. It becomes an expectation. Yes this is optional, but it’s to awkward to request that this is removed or reduced. I think this is assumptive when there’s only two diners and we had arrived and exited within the hour, was both still hungry and was sat in the cold for the duration."

"Well, it 's been a while since I 've reviewed a place but this little gem has certainly reawakened my vigour for it. Visited this evening as a kind of belated birthday celebration with my husband and son and very glad we did indeed. We happened upon this place a few weeks back (passing by and grabbing a cocktail after the days plans fell through and instantly took to the place and it 's wonderful staff and from the off had intentions to visit again an so finally did tonight), within seconds of seating ourself at the bar we were remembered by the owners, which to me shows great calibre on the customer service front. As someone with an exceptionally sweet tooth when it comes to alcohol it was our lucky day to find they had cocktails on 2for£10 and hell can the owner Jo mix like a minx (even doing us an off menu blend to account for tastes). The husband not being a big drinker happily sat at the bar chatting with staff and customers nursing his Peroni whilst me and my son dived headlong into the extensive classical and modern mixed cocktail list. Having been lured into great expectations (previously sampling delicious tasters) from Jo 's lovely husband Dave on our first brief visit we were definitely eagerly placed to dive into dinner tonight. Our lovely waitress Sian, stood patiently while we chopped and changed idea 's and orders, laughed with us, checked regularly everything was to our tastes as did the other young waitress that dropped drinks over to us. Both girls portraying the perfect mix of friendly and professional, a refreshing change to be served by people that clearly enjoy their working environment. And on to the food... we started with olives (and boy was it a substantial portion in comparison with some establishments weak efforts), hubby was first in there, impressed with the quality of marinade (too many places these days forget the little efforts like this thinking folk can 't differentiate something tipped out of a supermarket packet). After much debate (I had my eye on far too many dishes) choices were made, Hubby had the Filo Kefta, which had a light pastry, adequate spice and smoothly complimentary dip, for main he went with the day 's Special of Lamb with fondant potato, heritage carrots and a divinely velvety Jus which he thoroughly enjoyed (and he 's hard to please, being well versed himself and making a point of getting the lovely Chef Darren a glass of wine in appreciation). The lad had a Sirloin steak burger cooked medium rare and is now demanding we visit again soon. lol I went with the Gravlax to start, instantly aware of the clean flavour from its curing cutting through (I even brought a titbit home for my kitty to enjoy), as for main, I 'd initially had my mind on fish but upon discovering the owner Jo was also a blue steak lover I had to try one there and wow they really take care in choosing their suppliers because that was an A grade cut of meat, even my son (who prefers medium-rare) upon trying a slice said it was an exceptional piece of meat I had it with asparagus, no sauce and swapped out the chips for a feta/pepper bowl which worked perfectly as did the glass of Shiraz that Jo picked out to compliment it for me. Genuinely I can not pick fault (read through my other reviews I write honestly, pick fault where warranted and compliment where due). Had this lovely little find been in our usual local it would surely become a regular haunt ours for sure. I would 100% recommend this place and extend our gratitude to all the staff for making our entire visit memorable and perfect."

"My wife and I paid a visit to Italia Mia on Friday evening, hard to believe we haven't been since just before Xmas. As usual, a warm welcome from Enzo and the lovely waiting staff and a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. After reading another review, I decided on whitebait to start these were plentiful and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning. Along with the inevitable garlic tomato bread, an ideal start to the meal. My wife had the chicken with asparagus in a cream sauce whilst I opted for a sirloin steak and pepper sauce, served with abundant fresh vegetables and rosemary roast potatoes. Sweet menu was very tempting but we decided to be good (boring), another very good experience at this popular Italian and we certainly won't leave it as long before we visit again. Thanks to all for an enjoyable meal."
