Halal Reviews for Italiana Fifty Five Great Northern

I went there twice, first with a group of 6, and then 8 pax. There were outdoor tables, but we sat indoors. The overall experience was wonderful. The restaurant also offered halal meat, but please do ask for availability (we were told only the lasagna was not halal). Food: The food was DELICIOUS. They even came to ask if anyone needed extra black pepper and cheese, which they grounded and grated by request. I did get to try what everyone else ordered, so I have them listed down below (the first was mine): - Ravioli Aragosta (a bit spicy for me, but definitely not spicy at all for the Asians in our group. The portion was also visibly smaller than the rest, perfect for those with a smaller appetite) - Spaghetti Carbonara (I asked them to remove pancetti, and add chicken pieces. The chicken was a tad dry though.) - Minestrone - Pappardelle Polpette (juicy meatballs) - Rigatoni Italiana - Salmone Adriatico (Salmon was cooked just nice. The second time there, they were out of salmon and they substituted with seabass, it was just as good) - Stinco di Agnello (a bit too lamby for my taste, but everyone else loved it) I think there's options for everyone, depending on their taste, so this place worked amazing for our group, so we went there twice:) Service: Staff was helpful and friendly. The manager (I assumed) did his best to accommodate us, and even the waiter & waitress was tiptop (shout out to Soukayna for being so helpful with her suggestions and wittiness entertaining us).

Came here for a meal with work colleagues and had a great meal. I had the Mozzarella Fritta to start. 5 lovely small pieces of breaded fried cheese, what's not to like! Perhaps a small portion for the price but that's typically what you get as starters everywhere these days. For my main I had the Calzone pizza. It was very very good. Lovely dough, loads of fillings and a pleasure to eat. The others had various dishes including pasta, gnocchi and lamb and all days they rely enjoyed their food (and all the portion sizes were very good) Service through the whole meal was friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend the food here, and I'm sure we will be back!

It was my fellas birthday and he got a groupon for this place. £40 for 2 starters 2 mains and 2 drinks. When we arrived we realised that with the Groupon deal the starter and main course offerings were slim pickings so the food we had in mind (carbonara & ravioli) unfortunately weren’t available. Regardless of this the food we had ( bruschetta al pomodoro, frittata mista, lasagne and pollo porcini ) was well seasoned and enjoyable, and the staff were lovely, so no complaints here!

Amazing restaurant. The service was really quick and the waiters are amazing. Tomos (also Welsh!) and Vinny were lovely. Vinny did very good for his first day so obviously trained well. I would recommend the pollo Milanese, a great portion and well worth the money. Thank you 😁😁

Would recommend this place. Service is good and food was delicious. Took the receipt with me after payment only to realise when I got in that we were charged for a drink which no one in the group ordered. My fault for not checking the receipt before payment so make sure you all check! Apart from that, everything else was good.
