The Fat Italian - Sefton

Visited here for a birthday meal. Everything was great. The food was gorgous, we all had something different and we were all pleased with what we had. The food was hot, tasty, and well presented. The staff were fantastic. All in all a great time.

Don’t let the delicious sounding menu fool u this food was so underwhelming and seriously under seasoned. Everything had pepper but nothing had been salted. Rubbery plain chicken drizzle of watery sauce an didn’t even come with chips. It was so bland i dno how it gets 4 stars. Unless they r better with the pastas but even the chips had no salt. It looks like you’re gna get a refined meal it looks nice inside but wow what is everyone else ordering? Also we walked in asked if we wanted a drink b4 we even sat down so needed a sec to look at the menu they said il give u a min then forgot about us. Went to the bar to order drinks an told sit down someone will take the order. When the drinks order was put in we wanted to order the food right away and were told I can only do the drinks. Just felt like a really weird experience . Cudnt wait to leave. They gave a bit of a discount coz we didn’t eat it but it was only about 5-6 quid we worked out. Feel like I need compensation for wasting my night! I don’t do reviews but honestly the menu looks fab but the execution was terrible. Very disappointed. Had virtually the same meal in the Greek on south rd! An the difference is unreal the chicken in the Greek was moist an tasty the sauce was thick an flavoursome an wasn’t a stingy portion. My kids went this Italian weeks b4 with their dad and they all hated it but I wanted to try it myself thinking kids are fussy! Nope they were right! Save your money to somewhere you’ve already been before. X

We went as a family of 6 for a birthday meal recently to the Fat Italian, we ordered from the early bird menu which is fantastic value for money and there was loads of choice, the portions were really generous and the food was delicious, the staff are all very friendly and attentive, a special mention for Henry our waiter, he was a very pleasant young man

Was here tonight, Henry Alex Gary and everyone else were so great. Food was gorgeous cannot wait to go back.

Fantastic night with the family for my 30th. Looked after by sherneen who is always brilliant and looks after us every time! She is always happy and makes our experience one to remember. See you again next week!
