It’s a large menu with lots of pizza and pasta choices and plenty of meat and fish mains with seafood a real speciality here. The wine list is all-Italian. La Roma is a relaxed and intimate venue, convenient for both Bolton and Manchester.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not great, not bad. Average. Friendly service, gluten free options and generally a nice atmosphere, but slow to take our order. Pub standard pizza that was ok. Redeeming factor is there was a magician knocking about who kept us very well entertained.

Very disappointing Sunday roast. Not remotely value for money. Visited Sunday 8th Oct. £15 for a child sized portion of food, (we ordered and paid for adults. Had to have something else to eat when we got home. The y’pud was a small Auntie Bessy’s...sized one so you can get an idea of the portion size.More

I booked a table for 2 online and didn't get confirmation until a day later than when we were there saying "Hello, I have booked you in!" clearly no attention paid to the request. We arrived and were asked to wait by the bar staff...and that there was a 30 minute wait for a table. We sat in the bar area and tried to have a conversation but couldn't even hear ourselves due to some rowdy people sat near us. When it was time for our table we waited by the bar to be shown to the table but the staff just ignored us. Nobody even came to ask if they could help. After standing for 10 minutes we decided to leave and go somewhere else. Complete waste of time, unwelcoming staff and rowdy patrons.More

It will be a long time before we visit again after visiting on bank holiday Monday we were told the lunch menu was not available on bank holiday lunches which is ridiculous as you could not purchase a sandwich and there were other tables complaining...in fact a group of people left, I am not surprised that the restaurant was empty we thought we would struggle to get a table with it being bank holiday Monday very very disappointing visit.More

We came across this little gem by accident. It is in a lovely little area next to the river. We popped in for a quick drink and we were blown away by such a warm welcome especially from Rosanna. So much so that we decided...to come back later that day for dinner and we were not disappointed. The bruschetta was gorgeous and fresh followed by the divine tagliatelle diavola and the pizza Capri which was the best pizza that we have had in years! Again amazing hospitality from Rosanna and the rest of the team and we will definitely be back very soon! Thank you guys 😍More

Take this up with the group MD which you can find on the website for La Roma, we have never had a problem, although I must say I never use plastic containing sauces!
