Italian Restaurant in Bolton

[jaffka]

There was a little Italian restaurant near to Nelson Square.

Is it still there?

If not what happened and has it moved elsewhere?

[Annoyed Grunt]

I know the one you're on about, don't know what its called or if its still there.

Hope this helps.

[jaffka]

was on a corner if I remember rightly

[Annoyed Grunt]

Yeah, think so. I've been in only once quite a while ago.

[Worthy4England]

I remember the corner. I think it has a street lamp on it, and both the corner and the street lamp are still there.

Hope this helps.

If you could see it on google maps, you might be able to get the name of it and ring 'em up...

[Burnden Paddock]

It used to be Tiggis. It's now called Prosecco. Only been once, the food was ok, but the service was abysmal.

[jaffka]

not tiggis, that was on the main road

[jonnybwfc]

Was it Ciao Napoli, up that side street ?

[jaffka]

possibly, quite narrow and windows all down one side

[Burnden Paddock]

In that case are you thinking of Ciao Napoli, as you walk through from Nelson Square towards the town centre?

[jonnybwfc]

Yeah, I think that's the one -

Lost my garlic bread virginity at Tiggis.

[Burnden Paddock]

Don't do it! It's fecking shite. The last time I was there they poured something indescribable into a Peroni bottle and tried passing it off as the real stuff. I took it back to the bar and demanded they open another one in front of me. Totally different! I ordered the same starter as someone else in our party and they looked like completely different dishes. I sent it back and wouldn't go again if they paid me.

[Wandering Willy]

See what happens when you stray from the town hall.

How long ago was this BP?

I've had some nice nights and lunches there from time to time. But not recently.

You may have a point! But come on Michael fecking Buble. Nobody deserves that. Do they?

It was probably around a year ago. I've been 2 or 3 times before and not particularly enjoyed it, but that's probably because we've had a pizza/pasta lunchtime deal as part of a large group and they're not my favourite foods by any stretch. Not ideal when you're going for an Italian, I know!

[jaffka]

so its still going then, anyone been recently who likes Italian?

[jmjhb]

Went quite recently, prefer it to Tiggi's/Prosecco which in my opinion has no charm (reminds me of Nando's in this respect).

[Gail Platz]

I went to Tiggi's a while back and I went outside for a second for some fresh air and got sexually harrassed off some girl with a massive rack coming out of Courtney's. I'm still yet to decide whether it was brilliant or press charges.
