Quick info
About Aquila
Aquila is a tapas restaurant on King Edward Street in Macclesfield, with around five tables inside and bookings taken to guarantee a seat. The menu centres on small plates built for sharing, from garlic bread and olives through to a changing specials board, with waffles on the dessert side. A short beer list and jugs of sangria cover the drinks. Orders are placed with the counter staff and the team has been described by visitors as attentive and first class. The format suits small groups who like to graze through several dishes over an evening, and the specials give regulars something different to try on repeat visits.

“We share Olives, 4 tapas 2 garlic bread a desert and a Jug of sangria £73 the food was excellent and Mike and his team were very welcoming.”
- Guy Barlow
“Fantastic food. Best if there's a few of you because it's hard to not order a load of food to try.... and even harder to try to eat it all (because you won't want to leave any). Great selection of meals, all delicious. A very small place, so booking essential.”
- Matthew Mackin

“Magnificent Tapas: Every single dish we tried was bursting with vibrant, authentic flavors. The variety and preparation of the tapas are truly second to none each plate was a masterclass in texture and taste. The specials were nothing short of brilliant. The service was attentive and welcoming, making the entire night feel effortless and special. Best tapas in Mac🤙”
