Quick info
About Ciao Napoli
Ciao Napoli is a Mediterranean restaurant on Mawdsley St in Bolton, where an open kitchen lets diners watch the chefs at work. The menu covers pizza, pasta, fish and meat, all cooked in that kitchen. Among the starters is a squid dish, and chorizo tagliatelle sits on the pasta side. The dining room is small, which keeps the kitchen close to the tables. Desserts are homemade, with tiramisu among them.

Customer Review Summary
Homemade desserts draw the most repeat praise, described as delicious and outstanding, with one reviewer singling out the generous swirls of whipped cream. Close behind are the savoury dishes: a chorizo tagliatelle with perfectly cooked pasta and a strong, smoky flavour, tender squid, and a longtime regular's garlic bread and mushroom starter. The tiramisu is the exception, called pleasant but a little safe and lacking a boozy kick. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and several note that food arrives quickly without feeling rushed. The restaurant is small, and a few reviewers describe the décor as a bit dated and say it fills up fast, even on weekdays, so a couple suggest booking beforehand. One diner on a pre-concert outing before a show at the Albert Halls found the place bustling and lively, with the food still served in a timely manner.

“I have been going here for years it's fab. The garlic bread is the best on the planet. The mushroom starter is out of this world, I haven't ever been to another Italian with better garlic bread or garlic mushrooms.”
- Frances Johnson
“Booked a table here for a pre concert meal at the Albert Halls. What a hidden gem. The restaurant is literally minutes away from the venue. The place was bustling and a lovely, lively atmosphere. Even though the restaurant was busy our food was excellent and served in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.”

“Had a brilliant meal at this spot on Mawdsley Street recently. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. The highlight for me was the presentation of the dessert, which came with such generous swirls of whipped cream. Everything tasted as good as it looked, from the perfectly seasoned starters to the main courses. It is easily one of the best dining experiences I have had in Bolton. I will definitely be returning soon.”
