    I booked La Fillia for my engagement party last week and I couldn’t be more impressed! The service was outstanding and the food was beyond perfect! We asked for family style serving for a group of 20 and everything went very smooth and the food was excellent! Considering that this is a new establishment they have set the bar very high for restaurants in Altrincham and we are very excited to see them succeed for the future!

Truly welcoming place, so sorry i forgot the owners name she had curly hair and literally was amazing to us all! And the waitress with brown hair also so polite and very happy at all times! Will definitely be coming back here again soon thankyou so much! Xxx

    Food is outstanding here! Pasta , pizza, deserts. All amazingly tasty! They even made pasta for my little one that they didn’t have on menu. Haven’t seen such a genuine friendly staff and service for a while. Atmosphere and decor is beautiful and romantic too x 5 star all day long x

    The food was absolutely fantastic. The portion was very generous - very huge, didn't expect that from the price ! We had seafood risotto and spaghetti ragu, yum! Very friendly and warm service, good interior design, love it! They offered us nice house cocktail, the cookies were delicious too. I'd highly recommend this restaurant and will defo come back. It's a hidden gem in Alty!

    So I’ve never given an Italian restaurant 5 stars before so here it goes! Best Italian I’ve had by far. Fresh beautiful pasta ribs fell off the bone / you can tell the sauce is home made and thought of. Prawn starter was succulent wee seasoned and cooked to perfection as was the fish main and pasta. Can’t wait to return here and try more goodies!!

    It was my first time visiting La Filia last evening. I could not have been more impressed with the food and general ambience. Our waiter Luigi was extremely passionate about his trade and provided outstanding service. The Head Chef, Gilles even came out to ask how the food was which added a really nice personal touch to the evening. I will 100% be back in the near future!!

    My partner and I visited La Filia last night for the first time. Staff were super welcoming and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Food was perfect and I really loved the dark romantic feel that the decor gives. We can’t wait to return!

    My husband and I have just had dinner at La Filia and we were really impressed. The food was absolutely fantastic!! The portion sizes were generous - I had to roll my husband home after his calzone - it was huge!! The atmosphere was really friendly, warm and welcoming. It was beautifully decorated and set up. I had three courses, my husband had two, and every dish was excellent. We will definitely be going again soon as there were so many things on the menu we want to try. We would highly recommend this restaurant!! Also - good gluten free and veggie options.

    We had a lovely meal at La Filia on The Downs in Altrincham. There were 5 of us including my mother in law and our two boys, ages 5 and 7. We were made to feel very welcome, and the food was delicious (adults had steak, kids shared a lasagne). It’s a small restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

    We really enjoyed this little place in Alty, the staff were welcoming and creative with the cocktails - The manager created his own version of a Godfather cocktail, absolutely delicious, did not last long. The food was amazing, you could tell that everything they brought out was freshly cooked and made with skill. 10/10 to the chef. The portions were really good, their pizzas are HUGE. Even when we had a smallish portion, the flavour more than made up for it. The atmosphere and style of the restaurant was classy and romantic, just what you want on a much needed date night with the Husband. Thank you to everyone who served us, we'll see you next time!

    Presents itself as a classy restaurant, but food is very unexceptional. It was quite empty (on a Friday evening) but the waiter kept telling us it was normally busier. Felt dingey inside and lacking in atmosphere

    First try here after seeing great reviews and was not disappointed in any way. Service was second to none and Luigi was just perfect, personable and attentive and does the best Negronis. Had 3 courses including fillet steak and also arrabiatta and all were delicious, of high quality and cooked to perfection. I would definitely say this is the highest standard of food we have had in the Altrincham area for many years and cannot wait to be back.

    Went here with friends a couple of weeks ago. Lasagne was honestly one of the best I’ve ever tried, sauce was so tasty and cheese so stretchy. The tiramisu I had after was also heavenly! Have already recommended La Filia to others and would definitely come again.

    We have lived in Altrincham for 3 years but have only just discovered this restaurant. We took two friends mid week for an evening meal. This restaurant has such a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were lovely and very attentive. The food was amazing well priced and well presented. We are delighted to have found this little gem and will certainly have very many more visits there.

    La Filia takes the reins as, not only our favourite Italian, but our favourite restaurant in Altrincham! Stunning fit-out, great attention to detail, immaculately clean, great vibe all round - warm, cozy, family run feel, yet still a very cool place to be! Fantastic service, delicious food, gorgeous cocktails, knowledgeable & friendly staff! Our first visit, but definitely not our last! We’ll be back & will recommend with confidence! Special mention to Luigi for his warmth & knowledge… And for making exceptional margaritas. Thank you! We’ll see you again very soon! X

    Went for a Xmas meal with friends, 12 of us in total. We choose from the 3 Course Xmas Menu which had a good selection. 12 people, 3 courses and 36 empty plates. Generous portions, excellent quality food, good value and friendly efficient service on what was a busy night. A great night.

    What a find, visited tonight and cannot recommend highly enough. Unbelievable service from Luigi, the food was delicious and authentic (the specials were 10/10) everything from the wine to mains and desserts were flawless. We felt like family, a must visit, we are already planning our next meal.

  • 5/5 Jacque M. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent ...a gem of a restaurant in Altrincham. Our evening was made extra special by Luigi and his 🍸 cocktails. Visit for cocktails or food...you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended...we will most definitely be going back for more cocktails and friendly banter. Thanks Luigi x

    As a party of 6 we visited this fantastic restaurant for my daughters 14th birthday. Excellent in every way from the staff to the food. The service was top notch and the food delicious and plentiful, the chef even cooked up a dish not on the menu as requested by my daughter and finished the evening with a special treat for the birthday girl. Thank you La Filia for a truly wonderful culinary experience, you guys are doing yourselves proud

  • 5/5 Annette G. 11 months ago on Google
    Visited with two friends, as a Birthday celebration for us all. The food was excellent. One of my friends is Gluten intolerant, and to find that any pasta dish could be gluten free was an absolute bonus. From the warm welcome, to the atmosphere, to the food and the goodbye at the end of the evening, was fantastic. Cannot recommend the restaurant enough. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Mike G. 9 months ago on Google
    Can’t wait to return! We were greeted by friendly staff and felt well looked after throughout. The food was absolutely delicious. It was both authentic and fresh. It certainly lived up to the hype, we thoroughly recommend! Many thanks Mike Anju Kavi& Mani

    Lovely place, great food, friendly service. Lots of gluten free options and they were very accommodating. Marinara pizza and lobster ravioli were both delicious. Overall a great evening - would definitely recommend

    Wow! We had a wonderful dinner in La Filia. We stopped there on our way to the airport, and really didn't expect such a fine restaurant - true Italian food, friendly familial service, great atmosphere. No pineapple on pizza, by the way ;-). The risotto was the absolute best I ever ate. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well, and the ice cream at dessert was delicious. Thanks, Luigi, for having us in the last moment 🙏🏻

  • 5/5 Sasha Johnson M. 3 years ago on Google
    This wonderful place is divine. Not only is the food utterly delicious, the whole experience is magical. This is definitely my favourite place to go for a special evening. I always feel well looked after at La Filia.

  • 5/5 A B. 4 months ago on Google
    The food is delectable, the service is attentive and warm and the atmosphere is conversation friendly, in that the music is at the right level to be enjoyed and not deafened also to allow for a normal pevel of speech so my throat isn't sore from having to shout to my companion. All in all will be recommending and frequenting this lovely place ✨️
