"we are local and go regularly. we have many choices in our village and environment, so it is not as if we have to go, we go through choice because eating is fantastic, the atmosphere friendly, like the staff, and nothing is too much annoying. if they want a pizza with a thick crust, with ananas, huh and all other types of gubbins loaded, miaitalia is not the place for them. However, if they want an authentic Italian pizza that tastes delicious (and they don't have to go with the toppings on the menu, there is a list that they can choose to make their own variation) I advise them to get there as quickly. booking advisable, they are very popular! oh, and children are welcome and supplied with their own version of the adult menu!"

"fabulous reserve with so much to see, even ende januar, when a lot of vegetation dies back, but with many winter visitors migrants (feated! to see. I arrived with the train to silverdale about carnforth. main visitor center just a short walk from there. RSPB staff welcome the people at the arrival to ask if something special they want to see, they give advice of the best places within the reserve. hauptreservat has several large skins that offer excellent prospects over the lagoons reedbeds. the information boards look pretty much everywhere. I had a nice lunch (Pie bases in the on-site café there also a very good load. many employees in front of location who care about the website that is a great credit for everyone. excellent viewing platform (skytower, which offers a magnificent view over most sides. the birds I could see while I was there, saw egrets, pintails, goldeneye, more volatile sight of marsh harrier to mention many more. not only birds to see that they have the chance to see otters, which I unfortunately did not see, but saw a chair. it was not possible to carve the coastal mucosa into the sand salt marshes, but this is for another day."

"After having had a succession of mediocre to poor meals from far Pavilion over the last 18 months, I felt compelled to write this review. Partly out of disappointment; as this used to be by far the best Indian restaurant in the whole area. However, since Covid, and particularly over the last two years, the quality of the food has dropped considerably, while the prices have continued to increase. (This is now one of the most expensive takeaway options in the area Around two years ago, for some reason (perhaps a change of chef? , they started to change the flavour of their dishes which have become steadily more bland and tasteless. To the point where a lot of dishes now just seem to taste the same. Unfortunately, the quantity and quality of the meat in the dishes has also really dropped. For example, where you used to get nice chunks of chicken breast we had a chicken balti the other night, which was literally tiny strips of chicken with sauce – and that was it! Another favourite dish used to be the lamb Rogan Josh. Where the lamb used be lovely and tender, of late it’s been tough, undercooked and fatty. Such a disappointment to write this review as this used to be such a good restaurant! We won’t be hurrying back now unfortunately, which is a real shame Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"Our experience at this restaurant was absolutely terrible. We waited 45 minutes for a starter that should have taken 15 minutes. The staff repeatedly lied to us about when our food would be served and even changed their minds about the availability of certain items. When we questioned the manager about this, we were called liars. Many other customers also left due to poor service and long wait times, despite the restaurant being half empty at 12:30 pm. One elderly lady had to wait 10 minutes just to get a menu, and was told to get one herself by a member of staff. The young staff seemed overwhelmed by the pressure from the single, older manager in the kitchen, leading to a disgraceful experience. We will be warning as many people as possible to avoid this place, thanks to the rude manager. Do not visit this restaurant."

"I sit here typing with regret. I visited Miaitalia after a friend said it was his favourite place to eat. I ordered a 7 pizza, managing my expectations as I'm such a picky eater, and it was perhaps the most fabulous pizza I've ever had. I wish I'd ordered the larger size!! The side of the sea salt and rosemary garlic bread was also out of this world. My partner was also bowled over by his pizza (he's a massive carnivore but lactose intolerant so he ordered the cheeseless vegan pizza and he absolutely loved it). Such a cosy, welcoming restaurant. Feels like you're dropping into a place you've always known. The staff are friendly but not in your face, the sounds are wonderfully muffled, and you just feel all snug and cosy and at home. I will be going back regularly and ordering the large pizza this time! I may even get one to takeaway too. What an incredible restaurant, highly recommend"
