Top Best Italian Restaurants in Arley

"The Quarter is a renowned haunt for vegetarian pizza & pasta lovers. The Italian cafe on Faulkner Street inspired by the milk bars of Australia has an eclectic global menu with Spanish pizza below, one of its most colourful and tastiest treats. As co-owner Colin Manning put it: “Manchego cheese, roast peppers, rosemary potatoes & aioli is one of my favourite combinations on a pizza and it’s a vegetarian favourite too!"

"Found in the beautiful Georgian Quarter of Liverpool on Falkner Street, The Quarter is an Italian inspired, independent restaurant. It serves everything from breakfast to delicious cakes and everything in between. Or if you’d like to treat your date to a romantic picnic, take them shopping in the deli to pick out their favourite sandwich and sweet treat."

"Whilst being renowned for its food, the venue is understated for its romance. The Quarter brings the best of Europe together; the road looks like something out of Amsterdam, the decor is reminiscent of Paris and the food is Italian inspired. It doesn’t get much more continental than that."

"Gorgeous both inside and out, Gusto on Albert Dock is the Liverpool restaurant sporting views of the water. 'Date night' is stamped all over this romantic little nook, with a fairy light-strewn olive tree and rustic interiors whizzing you away to Italy."

"Gusto has become something of a household name in Liverpool. With a range of Italian dishes, spanning across the entire peninsula and featuring the freshest Mediterranean ingredients, it's honest, welcoming and sure to please every diet."

"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."

"No best-of restaurant list is complete without pizza, and luckily Manchester is well-known for its popular pizzeria Rudy's Pizza. Known for its "proper" Neapolitan pizza, Rudy's a casual spot that's ideal for families and groups but is also cool enough for couples and pairs of friends. There are several locations throughout Manchester, and you won't go wrong at any of them."

"Rudy’s is another great pit stop for vegans, with their specials board often providing a different dairy-free option every week. Rudy’s Neapolitan pizza dough is 100% vegan, and alongside their stunning marinara, any pizza on the menu can be asked for without cheese. No wonder they’re labelled the best pizzas in town."

"Pizza Express bosses have confirmed plans to reopen the chain on April 12. 118 of the chain’s restaurants will open in England next month as the country continues to ease its lockdown restrictions, including two in Merseyside. The two restaurants reopening in Merseyside are Liverpool ONE and Kings Waterfront."

"Serving up cuisine from world-famous chef Marco Pierre White, Marco's Media City offers authentic New York Italian cuisine in a charming setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretch across the bright, buzzy dining room, making for spectacular panoramic…"

"Lupo Caffè Italiano, located at the Boat Shed, Exchange Quay, serves award-winning Italian coffee. Italian-flavours continue to run through its daily-changing menu which has previous included crostatina with nutella, stuffed peppers and pistachio, and white chocolate muffins. The cafe also makes Italian birthday cakes with custom designs."

"My Cookie Dough has a seriously committed following, judging by the crowds at its Manchester Arndale stall (it recently opened another at the Trafford Centre too). Big dollops of dough are baked until warm and crispy, but still soft enough to dip into with a spoon, then loaded with various sauces and toppings. Indulgent flavours include red velvet and Nutella, white chocolate and raspberry, Oreo, fudge and honeycomb, Biscoff, and coconut chocolate."

"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester. Their Slutty Brownie stacks are a mouthwatering mess of chocolate brownie, crushed Oreos and their house cookie mix, served up as chunky slabs and coated in a hefty drizzle of Nutella. With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."

"🍰 Seriously gooey hot cookie dough, with tons of topping options to choose from including Nutella, Biscoff, Red Velvet, Kinder and even Strawberry Cheesecake."
