About The Fat Italian Crosby
On Coronation Rd in Crosby, The Fat Italian serves an Italian menu of 57 dishes, running from Soup Of The Day and Homemade Meatballs to a Black Pudding Stack, Salt & Pepper Halloumi, Pate Della Casa, and Chorizo Bruschetta. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and tables without a reservation are sometimes asked to return in around 30 minutes when the room is full. The starter list runs alongside the main courses, giving diners a mix of traditional and non-traditional plates to choose from before ordering. Service runs from the counter and floor as tables free up.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly praise the Stroganoff, with beef called perfectly cooked and flavours well balanced, alongside tasty bolognese and steaks. Staff are consistently called friendly and welcoming. One reviewer found their steak cold inside before it warmed up. Another describes booking through Eat Club and being turned away as fully booked despite the restaurant appearing nearly empty.

“Food was good but check your bill as the offers they do don't transfer to the bill. Should of been 2 courses for 17.99. They charged separately so it was much more. I only realised this after I had left the restraunt whoever did the bill cost us about £50 more. I know not all things were 2 for 17.99 there are supplements on some meals but even with the supplements the bill was definitely £50 more. I have gone through the bill a few times and can't see how they got to this figure. Its a shame as we won't be goin back.if you need to rip people off something is definitely wrong. Oh the guys name on the receipt is sean. Thanks for that mate.”

“Spectacular service, food and overall vibe. The restaurant catered to both food (lactose) allergies and multiple kids, and handled both with care and expertise. Would love to come back as soon as possible.”

She must of told her boss we booked on eat club and came back and said theres not going to be any tables available atall tonight bearing in mind it was 20% full. I asked why she just said where fully booked. Why put yourselves on apps ye weirdos.”

“Everything was great. I normally don't eat pasta. But every now and then I try new things. At the end I was wiping my plate with onion rings... but highlight goes to chocolate brownie. I regretted the desicion of ordering tiramisu, which was great but brownie was perfect.”
