About Papa Luigi's
In Chorley, Papa Luigi's is an Italian restaurant at 169 Wigan Rd that cooks classic regional recipes alongside several Sardinian specialities, so the menu goes beyond the usual list of familiar dishes. Pasta and pizza sit side by side, with carbonara and cannelloni among the dishes, and cheesy garlic bread is on offer to start. The menu lets diners customise their meal. Desserts and ice cream close the menu, and cocktails are available for those who want a drink with dinner. Reservations are required. The restaurant also has free parking on site.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the Italian cooking and the value that comes with it, and the pasta dishes get named most. One diner enjoyed the cannelloni, carbonara and penne al carne, while another calls the cheesy garlic to die for. Others point to deals on pasta and pizza, a big menu where meals can be customised, and a choice of desserts and ice creams. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, welcoming and attentive. One first-timer felt a bit embarrassed asking about the Italian dishes, but the staff knew the menu well and were happy to help. Portions get credit too, with one party saying six meals and five drinks was more than enough for five people. One reviewer recommends the Apple of your Eye cocktail. Several regulars say they have never been disappointed. One party arrived very late for a reservation and was still seated relatively quickly, and another says that even on a busy evening without a booking they were welcomed and found a table.

“There are many Italian restaurants in our area, but I have to say that Papa Luigis for me is the best! The greeting, the service and the food is always excellent! Good value for money as well! We like to vary where we eat out, but if we fancy an Italian meal, no where better.”
