La Luce Del Sole — Restaurant in Wirral

Went here after hearing good things, but left disappointed.

Atmosphere - honestly if it was just a bit darker, with music a bit louder it would have been passable. Reminded me of a school canteen?

Service - only 8 people in the restaurant but first lot of drinks took five minutes to come as the guy just stood behind the bar for a bit? Asked for a second drink which didn’t come until I asked him if he had forgot about it, which he had. Apologised and got it straight away.

Food - we got a cheesy garlic bread, Pizza and Spicy Arrabiata with meatballs. Cheesy garlic bread was okay, a bit oily and some bits slightly charred, but a promising start. Mains came and the pizza base was burnt (not charred), to the point where it wasn’t enjoyable. The whole thing was a bit of an oily/tomatoey mess tbh. Spicy arrabiata with meatballs was very bland, to the point where my fiancé thought it must have been the tomato and basic sauce instead as no spice at all.

Unfortunately, we...

It was our anniversary and we normally have a weekend away and always book an Italian restaurant but this was not possible due to lockdown. We decided to try La Luce Del Sole as they offered a delivery service and boy are we glad we did. The garlic bread with cheese was tasty, thin enough with the right amount of garlic and cheese. The Carbonara was like a party in my mouth, full of flavour, the chicken was so tender and the smokiest pancetta. The Limoncello tart with cream and the tiramisu were the perfect way to close a delightful meal. I have had plenty of Italian meals. over the years and I must say this was up there. If you haven't tried here before I can't recommend it enough. Thank you for rounding off our anniversary on such...

What a nice little restaurant and I love the decor everywhere but with the godfather theme the zebra should've been a horses head lol. My mains were excellent and my mate loved his pizza. I've marked it down for two reasons firstly I really don't like it when Italian restaurants use pizza bases for garlic bread... It doesn't work and it's too doughy and much prefer it when it comes out on ciabatta bread and secondly the waitress was really not very interested, spent most of her time on a laptop behind the bar, never checked if our food was alright and basically was just an order taker!

Maybe better service on busier nights, who...
