A'vucciria - Rossendale

Visited with family on a Sunday afternoon . All the food was delicious and well presented . Friendly and efficient service . We look forward to returning soon

When this place opened, the food was excellent but quite expensive. The food quality dipped a little a few years ago, but right now, this is THE place to eat! The food is absolutely out of this world, some of the best that I have had anywhere in the world! The scallops with squid ink risotto is truly to die for!

One of the finest meals Ive eaten. Could not believe this is on man doorstep. I would advise a reservation as the place was busy.. and why not? Oysters, carpaccio and scallops. Perfect. The staff were great and the ambiance was really nice for a weds night. Thank you to all the team that looked after us. Already planning a return next week. You can have too much of a great place.

Visited for dinner yesterday and it was absolutely outstanding! My partner and I aren’t local but said we would happily make the hours drive for dinner again. We ordered the antipasto board, wild mushrooms, prawns, croquettes and potatoes. The prawns are the best prawns I have ever had, the whole meal was delicious. We then order two blood orange spritz which were again delicious. We wish we had room for dessert but just too full. Staff were lovely and service was great.

Good Friday, 2023. A lovely sunny day. We were sat near the window so that 3 of us experienced being blinded by the sun they could seriously do with blinds. Food came in dribs and drabs. Our starters arrived about 10 minutes after each other. If they are supposed to be individually served, this is unacceptable, as they ought to come together. If, as was suggested, they are supposed to be “like tapas”, surely they ought to be priced per person and served with sufficient portions for each member of the party to enjoy. Not terribly well thought out. Having experienced tapas elsewhere (including Spain) never have I had to endure one portion of tapas delivered 10 minutes before the proceeding one. The food itself was good and flavourful, but I’ve had “samples” from restaurants that were more filling. Cannoli… well a singular cannolo came with all the appearance of being a genuine article, but turned out to be hollow with a tablespoon of ricotta stuffing at the beginning and end, nothing but dry air in the middle! For £7.50! Surely the profit on these is sufficient to put another 20p’s worth of ricotta in them? A half arsedly stuffed cannoli… akin to the sandwiches you buy at railway stations, which look full, but turn out to have a concertina’d, thin, single slice of ham carefully positioned along the cutting edge! Grossly disappointed with that one! An insult to your customers, I won’t be back, and won’t be singing the praises of this place. 10/10 for flavour. 1/10 for effort.
