Antonello's Restaurant

Bolton is filled with great places to pick up a bite to eat, but if you confine yourself to the city proper, then you’ll be missing out on some of the very best of them. One such restaurant is Antonello’s Restaurant in the village of Turton Bottoms between Chapeltown and Edgworth, where they bring a taste of the campagnia to the East Lancashire countryside. They offer a menu packed with favourites, from starters that make the mouth water to begin and stone-baked pizzas, pasta and risotto to follow and a huge range of meat and seafood dishes too. Take a trip up past Chapeltown along Wellington Road and Bolton Road for an Italian night out to remember at Antonello’s.

There was a time when Italian food in Bolton had a tendency to go no further than a fat bloke shouting “Garlic?! And Bread?!” at a waiter, but the culinary landscape is beginning to change, and, whisper it quietly, perhaps move a little upmarket. A little up the hill from Bolton proper, en route to Darwen, one can find Antonello’s in Turton Bottoms, a North Turton village between Chapeltown and Edgworth, where they offer a huge range of Italian favourites to all those that enter their restaurant on Bolton Road. Take a trip into the moors and be transported to Italy by a menu that includes all the family favourites and a few regional specialities as well.

That menu, then, and what a selection it is. Your Dad will be happy to know that they do serve garlic bread – he can make that joke, though we think that the waiting staff may have heard it before – so you’ll have to start with that, before moving onto some king prawns, buffalo mozzarella or even a Bury black pudding, served up Italian style. After that, you’re free to tuck into the pizzas – stone-baked, of course – or something from the meat, fish or pasta selection. Gather your family and friends and reserve a table online today at Antonello’s Restaurant on Bolton Road in Turton Bottoms: perfect for an Italian meal if you’re near Chapeltown, Edgworth, Hawkshaw, Egerton or anywhere in North Turton, Bolton or Darwen.
