Top Best Italian Restaurants in Westhoughton

"A post shared by The Quarter (@thequarterliverpool) on Sep 12, 2017 at 4:23am PDT. A little out of the city centre in Liverpool’s historic Georgian Quarter, The Quarter is one of the more relaxed and easy going outdoor lunch venues in Liverpool, that provides amazing food and a service to match. When the sun is shining, this outdoor lunch venue in Liverpool is the ideal place to admire the historic surroundings of the Georgian Quarter."

"Cobbled streets and Georgian Townhouse splendour, breakfast alfresco and with views over the cathedral. If you’re not already sold on The Quarter, then perhaps it’s food will convince you. An Italian inspired independent, we’re talking freshly baked pastries, smoothie bowls, freshly brewed coffee and the usuals, pancakes, poached eggs and peanut butter on toast."

"The Quarter was a trailblazer for scouse cafe culture and whether you’re getting together for brunch, lunch, or one of their famous pizzas, the pretty pavement tables are now even more sought after since the addition of some toasty heaters. Address: 7 Falkner St, Liverpool L8 7PU"

"At Gusto, the motto is 'Con Amici', which means 'eating with friends' – so you can bet they are one of the best family friendly restaurants in Liverpool. They're a cute little Italian restaurant sitting in the Albert Dock and overlooking the Tate Gallery, with a menu packed with pasta, pizza and many other Italian favourites perfect for fussy eaters and budding-connoisseurs alike."

"Anyone who has cast a casual glance at the dishes available here can't have failed to notice the Nutella and mascarpone calzone. Those in the know at Gusto will tell you that no matter how much customers eat for their first courses, they always find a way to leave room for one of these."

"It didn’t take long for word to spread about Rudy’s appetising Neapolitan pizzas. Debuting on Ancoats’ Cotton Street in 2015 and named after founders Jim Morgan and Kate Wilson’s little dog, the venue’s fast-and-easy style became a quick hit with locals, who’d queue for hours to get a pizza cooked inside their wood-burning stove. Shortly after they were featured in the prestigious Where To Eat Pizzas world guide, a second, larger space was unveiled in the centre of town on Peter Street."

"Listed amongst the world’s best pizzerias in international pizza guide, Where To Eat Pizza, Rudy’s Pizza has grown from a pop-up project into a full blown word-of-mouth phenomenon."

"Situated in the centre of Birkdale village, Villaggio Cucina serves the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood that reflect traditional flavours. We highly recommend discovering a brand new wine while you dine here, as the offering is far reaching and top quality. Menus and more here."

"One of Manchester’s most beloved Neapolitan pizzerias, Caiooo, has made the decision to continue with its popular takeaway service and only reopen for walk-ins as and when the weather allows. You can find menus, opening times and more information on Instagram here."

"Built in the early 19th century for Nicholas Robinson who was the Mayor of Liverpool then, the house later became the place of residence of George Holt in the early 1880s. Today the house is a museum for George Holt’s amazing collection of paintings along with the whole house as a museum for the famous Victorian merchant himself!"

"An important chapter in our shared history, the Pankhurst Centre is the only museum in the country to highlight the struggle for the women’s vote. Housed in the ancestral home of the Pankhurst Family, the museum has a number of exhibits showcasing the fight for the right to vote and holds a number of fascinating workshops throughout the year."

"Birthplace of the suffragette movement in 1903, the Pankhurst Centre is an excellent place to learn about the fight for women’s right to vote. There are people who guide you through the house to help you learn about the history. The museum is open to the public from 10-4pm on Thursdays, and on the second and fourth Sunday of the month."

"The Pankhurst Centre is easily one of the best indoor activities in Manchester. Discover the story of Emmeline Pankhurst, a British political activist whose family lived in the house from 1898 to 1907. The centre was where the first meeting of the suffragette campaign for votes for women took place!"

"Key to the redevelopment of the Ropewalks quarter of Liverpool, and catering for the needs of film and art lovers since 2003, FACT was founded on a remit to "use the power of creative technology to inspire and enrich lives". Tucked behind the bohemian Bold St, this futuristic-looking space – made up of three floors of galleries, cinema screens, a cafe and a bar – celebrated a decade since its launch, in which time it has played host to pioneering work from Pipilotti Rist, Nam June Paik, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Kurt Hentschläger. 88 Wood Street, fact.co.uk."

"Not only a great place to catch the latest films, it also puts on regular exhibitions by a range of international artists focusing on creative media and digital technology. You’ll find three galleries to explore as well as a café and bar where you can talk art and film with friends. Opening Times: Tuesday-Sunday 11:00-6:00 88 Wood Street, Liverpool, L1 4DQ 8 minute walk from LJMU Mount Pleasant Campus and a 15-minute walk from LJMU City Campus."

"Just turning 15 years old, this cinema and gallery is, in fact, a leader in visual arts. It strives to support local visual and media-based artists who are passionate about technology. The location offers space for video and new (sometimes experimental) media, creating a platform for many UK artists to explore."

"Located just down the road from our Peel Park campus, this lovely little place combines art with coffee, tea and cake. The tea room offers a very relaxed atmosphere, as well as daily home-baked cakes, while the upstairs gallery is home to six week long exhibitions with work by local artists, including some from Salford students. Hot drinks are reasonably priced and the decor is stunning."

"Yvette Fielding opened this tearoom and even pours the tea herself – so if you want a dining experience with a difference then this is sure to be it. The venue itself is set next to the famous Manchester Cathedral with views that look across towards Salford. It is virtually impossible to walk past without being tempted to go inside and enjoy a slice of cake or an afternoon tea."

"What: Decked out mostly in reclaimed wood, this vibrant Manchester café is the go-to spot for Mancunians looking for super-friendly service and an excellent cup of Joe. This independent coffee specialist also sells prints, cards and gifts, and is child- and dog-friendly, so you can take the whole family with you for breakfast, a hot drink and slice of cake or a hearty salad. Window seats and outside seating allow for people-watching as you take a moment in convivial surrounds, either by yourself or with friends, while a range of food and drink options allow for varying dietary requirements."

"Half hip café, half hip design store, Fig + Sparrow may have only been around for a few years compared to the Northern Quarter heavyweights that surround it, but it’s one of Oldham Street’s most beloved stores. In summer, the crowded outdoor tables may lull you into thinking that it is simply a café, but inside you will discover a myriad of carefully selected items for your home or for gifts. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find greetings cards and wrapping paper."

"Half coffee shop, half homewares, all stunning - Fig and Sparrow is a dainty café with design as beautiful as the latte art. From their tiny bar they serve an impressive range of coffees and teas. Flat whites are always meticulous, and it’s worth dipping your beak into their pour-over range."
