Checcos in Hyndburn

Came for family birthday 🎂 wonderful food and service Garlic prawn starter was simply amazing best ever ! Everything was freshly cooked and beautifully presented

Simply wonderful ! Came for 19th wedding anniversary - eaten at lots of Italian restaurants - Checcos wonderful - authentic Italian cooking as Mama would do at home. Not pretentious like many restaurants in area are ! Beautifully cooked and attentive service - loved the fact everything was freshly prepared with nothing pre prepared ! Also a great feature was not being rushed to leave ! One of my pet hates ! Ashamed to say have lived in Whalley seventeen years and passed restaurant hundreds of times . Will be our go to Italian restaurant for sure 👌

I have been going to Checcos for over 30 years. It is my favourite Italian Restaurant out of the many I have tried. Continuously excellent food and so very friendly. The Garlic Bread dipped in the Spare Rib Barbecue sauce is totally amazing. Highly recommend this family run business.

Lovely flavours very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Dated decor but it didn’t take away from the food, which was the star of the show!!!!

Recently moved to the area had a great night here with my friend . Owner and staff were friendly .Food was really nice and the lamb shank was so nice and melted in your mouth. Will return great place.

It's always a pleasure to visit Checco's when staying with family who live near by. Stefan is always welcoming and accomodating. There is a separate bar entry if you fancy a drink whilst you wait for a table with a large TV and comfy sofas. The restaurant itself is cozy Italian themed but it's the fresh food and friendly service that keeps us going back! It's not cheap but that's what you get with Italian but it's worth what you get and the plates are always clean! Fresh ingredients and freshly cooked. There is a range of food from Pizza to Pasta to Steak and Specials. Highly recommended.

Hemos estado un par de veces y la familia siempre disfrutar de la comida. Normalmente el servicio es muy bueno y que muestra, como cualquier noche de ir, siempre está lleno. Sin embargo, en esta última ocasión, había un retraso en tomar la orden y la corriente nos sirven antes del empezar había sido despejada. Mi hijo prefiere este restaurante sobre otros italianos en la zona, porque no te sientes bajo presión para el siguiente huésped. Tiene todo lo normal menú italiano y especiales además de la tarjeta. Hay un escalón en la entrada, no estoy seguro de si hay una alternativa para acceso en silla de ruedas. No he notado.

En una noche entre semana visitado. Han conocido el lugar mucho tiempo y por último comimos aquí hace unos años. No ha cambiado mucho en apariencia y es amable y acogedor. Sin embargo, la comida estaba bien. Es poco probable que volver porque en mi experiencia hay muchos restaurantes italianos con mejor comida de calidad que ofrece.

Booked meal for six people for six o'clock Saturday evening. Lovely cozy restaurant and atmosphere. Service very good and so was food. Bit more expensive than average restaurant but worth it for a special occasion.

Siempre parece ser capaz de conseguir una mesa para 2, el personal es muy cortés y amable. El lugar es muy acogedor y puede ser un trabajo duro si tienes una mesa donde todo el mundo está pasando por delante, yo en el pasado pedimos que nos cambiaran. Sin embargo, esto no resta el lugar y la comida es deliciosa y muy razonable. Me encanta el ala crema. tortellini Uno de los mejores italianos en la zona

Llegamos a las 8, nos dieron una mesa a las 8:45 a pesar de la reserva para 8. Y no vienen ordenados entrantes bastante rápidamente. Pan de Ajo sabrosa y las chicas empezaron tenía buen aspecto. La red venga a mi salmón canalloni fue terrible!! El llenado era muy compacto, como una salchicha jellied y no sabían de nada y el queso fue quemada en la parte superior. La salsa era muy salada. No comí. Muy pequeña porción también! No creo que vaya a volver. El servicio era pobre

Depending on when you go depends on what you get. Avoid weekends as it is rushed and not as good as the midweek service and meal.

This restaurant has always been one of our favourites but not last night went on speck for a girlie night

Dated decoration interiors. Expensive for what it was. Garlic butter tastes like margarine. Staff favoured regulars. Won't be going back. Need to spend some money on update.

Como todo lo que he tenido desde aquí, ya sea el primer plato, plato principal, y el vino.

Booked a table for 8pm Saturday evening, arrived early, car park full and restaurant looked busy, waiting area also full. Not a problem we thought as we had booked by phone, a family squeezed together to allow us to sit down, no drinks were offered, menu's were given. You can expect to wait a little at busy periods, but despite being told numerous times it would not be long, we were not offered a table until my wife pointed out we had been waiting for over an hour, and would be leaving soon if a table was not available.

I used to eat here all the time before I left the area several years ago. We returned this weekend and ended up eating here every night it was that good! The food is lovely with an extensive menu with many choices to please everyone. I love the atmosphere and the cosy rooms and tables which create a lovely place to eat.

Usually arriving with a party, this popular local restaurant never ceases to impress.

Didn't have to book and got a table instantly. Good service and the food was absolutely delicious. Spicy chicken wings for starters were the best I've ever had could have had a second portion.

Me and my boyfriend went for a meal here on Valentine's Day, the food was delicious. We didn't have to book and was able to have a couple of drinks first, before seated at our table. Very cosy, lovely staff and good food.

Service terrible 3 starters mushroom blue cheese was burnt had to be replaced very slow service and not cheap

Al llegar al restaurante y al ver lo lleno que estaba nos dio muchas esperanzas de una buena comida. No habíamos reservado y nos dijeron que era esperar una hora para una mesa. Fue 6.50 pm. Finalmente conseguimos una mesa a las 9 pm

Friendly staff, amazing pizza, tomato garlic bread and lasagne! Well priced and my sticky toffee pudding with cream was by far the best desert I have ever had! Would recommend to anybody! 5 stars!

First visit here food and service can not be faulted will be giving it another visit thanks for a lovely evening every one in the party enjoyed it

Thank you to all at checcos! The food service and atmosphere were excellent my family truly enjoyed themselves

Checcos is the ideal place to dine if you like good food & wine. It has a delightful ambience that is felt as you walk through the door. We've always found the staff friendly, knowledgeable and wanting to please. We are visiting again in December for a special occasion - can't wait..

Good food and atmosphere and not to pricey. Plenty of choice with large menu - as you'd expect from a good local Italian.

Been eating here for years. Never had a bad meal or poor service, yet, never had a fantastic one either. It's always just quite good. Popular with locals so can sometimes have a bit of a clicky feel to it. Nice menu and service always fine.

Been going here for may years. Nice atmosphere, good service, excellent Italian food, staff always friendly and helpful.

We go here on a regular basis and it always has great food and service with a really relaxing atmosphere.I've tried a variety from the menu and always loved itNice staff fast services.Gets very busy at weekends.Highly recommend if you want a little piece of italy

I'm a regular visitor to Checcos and can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Checcos has delicious food but it's not worth the money they charge. The staff are very particular and not very welcoming.

The atmosphere is that of a pure italian (sicilian) restaurant. The staff is really friendly and the pasta is really good. The pizza was so and so but I would definitely recommend the carbonara. Ask for the wine list, they have a great Chianti.

Ate here last night 15th Sept for a joint family birthday meal. Great atmosphere, great food, great staff and a great evening! The penne arribiata is a delight - one of the best I have ever had! If you are in the Great Harwood area give it a try!

We ate here on Tuesday 15th Sept for a joint family birthday meal and as usual the food and atmosphere were great. Would highly recommend this traditional trattoria to any one in the area!

Four of us went to Checcos on Saturday. It was really good and so was the service. We booked and were told we might have to wait up to half an hour but we were seated immediately. All of us enjoyed our food.

Here on business overnight and popped in for quick pasta. Place was busy on a Sunday night. Excellent rigatoni ragu. Lamb very tender. Perfect sauce. Accompanied by very fresh green salad. Perfect.

I've visited Checcos with my family hundreds of times and its always amazing! Friendly staff, especially the guys who have been there a long time. It's like seeing friends. Such a warm welcome. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is lively and fun :)

I love coming to eat at checcos! The food is always brilliant and the service is spot on! A lovely little bar area to sit and wait in! Cannot fault at all :)

service and meal were absolutely fantastic no faults at all staff very attentive but not intrusive would not hesitate to recommend to friends

Wow. we visit this restaurant for the first time on the 5th of August and we will be back soon. Great food and excellent service, busy night but very helpful staff made us feel very comfortable. Great night

Full range of Italian dishes including chicken, fish and steaks added to the more traditional Pizzas and Pastas.All the food is freshly made with fresh ingredients including the sauces and pasta. It can get very busy on weekend nights between 7.30 and 9 but the lounge reception is nice enough for a beer or wine whilst you wait (usually around 30mins).The pastas are all delicious with fresh ingredients with Salmon dishes being especially nice. Must agree with a previous reviewer in that the price for the house wine is steep at £15 a bottle.

this is a very good traditional family Italian restaurant, and always busy. i really enjoyed the food and the whole experience. Short wait for a table which i don't mind, so there is a bar area to have a few drinks. Checcos serve great Pizzas and pasta dishes. Service is good and efficient. If i had to complain i would say the decor looks a bit tired, but then again it gives the ambience of a traditional it alien family run restaurant.

Although not far from where we live, neither my husband or myself had visited Checco's before and thought we would give it a try. It is quaint and cottage like, I suppose some would say dated but I like to see it as typical Italian decor. The gentleman who greeted us at the door and took us straight through to our table was nice and friendly enough. Reading some of the previous reviews I have seen a lot of 'rude staff' comments but I did not experience any of this. My husband had meatballs to start with a salami pizza for his main. I had mushrooms with goats cheese and a spinach and ricotta cannelloni for my main, both of which were from the specials menu. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals.Some minor details such as there was a hole in the tablecloth and being seated at the main entrance to the busy kitchen wasn't great but that's if you are being really picky (which we weren't). Nice atmosphere and it was also nice to see genuine Italian staff.We each had 2 drinks and the bill came to £50 which we thought was average for a couple especially with both of my meals from the special menu. Nice meal out and will be returning.

I have consistently been coming here for the past 3 years and I still to this day have no complaints!It is a small restaurant with typical Italian decor with a nice, clean waiting area where you can sit and enjoy a drink whilst waiting for a table.I have never had any problems with my food, I find the meat always soft and seasoned well and the pizza's never fail to please! I can not understand how people can slate the food in any way, the portion sizes are average and I certainly would never see the food as over priced!Any body who complains about the staff have clearly never been to an Italian restaurant before, as they are typical Italian staff! I have never felt any of the waiting staff have been rude or arrogant, sometimes they are rushed off their feet and try to serve you as quickly as possible and that is through no fault of their own. The only negative opinion I would give about Checco's would be that at peak times it gets very very busy and this sometimes can effect the service and the atmosphere, however for a small, popular restaurant I wouldn't expect anything less.

My husband and I went last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary but wish we hadn't bothered! I ordered the penne all arrabiatta and my husband ordered lasagne - and at £9 each I was disgusted! The pasta used in my dish was the cheapest pack bought pasta you can imagine, the 'tomato' sauce tasted of absolutely nothing and the salami tasted cheap and horrible. My husband's looked a lot better than mine but again, didn't taste of anything. We also ordered some chips which were dry and a tomato garlic bread which was a little burnt on the bottom and hardly tasted of anything. I can safely say that I will NEVER be returning to this 'Italian' restaurant again!!

Hoping to celebrate with a family meal. After eventually having to go and seat ourselves, the table was not set with the correct amount of spaces of which we had to re arrange everything ourselves due to the staff being to rude to help. Eventually after everyone was seated 45 minutes later the waiter approached us with the most arrogant and damn right rude attitude. Our food was terrible however never complained further seeing as we had already been told we wouldn't get any discount. Before you visit this place please re think Wether there is somewhere else you know for certain that you love. This place can be made to make you feel threatened am the food just isn't that good anyway

We were visiting for a family meal to celebrate our up coming wedding in 2 weeks for 15 of us which i booked 2 weeks in advance i then told them it was for 14 and a baby to which they were not happy about they made it very clear they found having a baby there an inconvenience, not a baby or child friendly place. when we were seated it was set up for 11, they changed it but with eye rolling and huffing and puffing when we returned it was t tables of 8 so the family couldn't sit together. we rearranged the tables ourselves and finally got seated after being there for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I asked i we could have a free drink each for the inconvenience to which the waiter said NO!I explained the issue and he just stood there leaning on the wall saying NO, NO, NO. he then walked off and never returned to serve us again. when our food came it was just placed in front of anyone leaving us to pass them around to the right person. My Grandmother who ordered the lasagne got a cannelloni we sent it back only to later have my grandmother tell me she got the same cannelloni back. The rest of the food was average and the T bone steak was never worth the money it was a disaster. on getting the bill it stated £353 if i hadn't of checked we would of been paying for a £41 miscellaneous item and three meals we never ordered. after arguing this the bill was finally reduced to the correct amount or £275.90.A word of warning of you order a pizza and ask for it to come with out a topping you will be charged for a plain pizza plus each individual topping still on the pizza making an £8 pizza over £10. was and awful night and ruined the whole evening for everyone. we will never be visiting again.

Could be really good and sometimes not so good but on the whole I generally enjoy the experience. I liked the Italian atmosphere and the Italian food

We visited Friday night, and as usual the service, and food was fantastic. Having been to rome and sampled the food there a few times, this definately meets expectations. We have been quite a few times now, and what's good this that you always know the food will be excellent, which not many establishments can boast. Other local Italians are not a patch on this place.

Had a bad experience 3 years ago. We decided to try again and wished we didn't. The starter was dry and over cooked poor flavor. Pizza sloppy in the middle and over cooked on edge. I advise the manager. He was going to have a word with the chef however he did not whilst we were there!

A great place to meet mates from around the area, food is always good, restaurant could do with a make over, but staff are always happy and happy to make your evening special.

Lovely food lovely atmosphere we booked as a group of 8, everyone was pleased with service food and drink, will visit again

Did not enjoy the food at all. Was below average and overpriced for the food which we recieved. One meal was lukewarm whilst others were to hot to eat. We were given the wrong order at first. The calzone which we ordered was very watery with no flavour. Very very basic no flavour with any of the courses. Also found the waiters quite rude and standoffish. Not happy at all.

We found the food and ambiance excellent.Great service by the friendly wait staff all added up to a great night out.Would not hesitate to go back again.

Family visit on Saturday night. Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Excellent value and will definitely return if in the area again

I came here with my family who live close to the restaurant - they are regular visitors and always seem to enjoy it. We were seated near the kitchen and I can honestly say I've never heard as much vile discussion in my life! I was trying to enjoy my food (which wasn't anything special at all) and all I could hear was the disgusting conversation going on in the kitchen; awful on that part. As well as this, the service was also ridiculous. We were brought the wrong food and my family member also noticed that there seems to be new/different staff almost every week! Is this bad training on the managers part? Either way - it needs to be sorted. The soup tasted like it was from a can and wasn't appetising at all, my main was ok and desserts were also horrific - you could see that they weren't fresh as there was a layer of condensation on the cheesecake; really off putting and I shall not be visiting this restaurant again.

Come here on a regular basic, tonight was a special occasion as it was a birthday celebration. The food I must say was absolutley terrible definatley not up to there normal standards! Pizzas, chips lasagne and mushrooms all burnt. I am that disappointed with the food and service i will think twice before returning here again.

I visited Checcos last night with my husband as this used to be our favourite Italian restaurant.We started with rosemary garlic bread that that should really have been called thin burnt garlic crisp!Then stuffed mushrooms that were over cooked and welded to the dish, still quite tasty but not up to their usual delicious standard.My husband's pizza looked lovely and he enjoyed that but my vegetable stroganoff left much to be desired.It was more like leftover uninspiring veg in a tomato sauce, certainly nothing like any stroganoff I've eaten anywhere else or indeed made at home.Overall a disappointment , let's just hope it was an off night.

1st visit after returning from abroad, this place has been around for long while now, the food is spot on. The tomato and garlic foccacia's are to die for. Staff great food great, cosy restaurant, what more could you ask for?

This is the second time we have been here, and it was as good as the first time. My girlfriend had the fillet steak which she loved, and I had the calzone again which is fantastic. Even though it was busy we never had to wait for service. This place has a very cozy authentic atmosphere.we will definitely be back.thanks for making our valentines day meal a special one checcos.

Great little Italian close by lovely food and service although a little cramped which I hate but it does not stop me going as the food is good and the service is fast just what we like

We visit Checcos regularly, and have done for a very long time, when run my Nick (owner), before Stefano. This Italian is the best ever, the food, service, price point, ambience and staff are consistently excellent. Whether you want to order a take away or dine in the quaint, querky restaurant, you will never be disappointed. I love the Penne Pescatore and the vegetarian strogonoff, and my husband loves the Al tonno pizza with anchovies! Thank you so much for being so a wonderful place to visit, and staying true to your roots.Carole Ann and Steve

I haven't visited Checcos in years, but my friend wanted a birthday meal there with her friends so that's where we went last night. As I remember, it's always busy and we had an hour or so to wait. The timing wasn't really an issue as we had chance to check out the menu and decide (and frequently change our minds as they all sounded delicious!) what we were having. A previous poster had mentioned the special stuffed mushrooms with cranberry and Stilton starter. Piping hot and fantastic! So tasty and it is a generous portion for a starter! The only critique is that the cranberry sauce had burnt on the bottom, so I didn't get much of the sauce. Next, I had the tortellini creme. Beautiful! The ham in the sauce was a little soft for my personal liking and the sauce was ever so slightly rich for me, but delicious none the less. My friend and I shared a Mexicana garlic bread which was hot, thin, crispy and has a little spice and onions with a garlic and tomato base. For dessert I had a banoffee pie. Generous slice with a scoop of ice cream.Brilliant pricing though and a great atmosphere with friendly staff. I will definitely be returning for a meal with my husband!

We eat out at this restaurant regularly as it is close to home, is good for families, catching up with friends, romantic evenings and for larger parties. I have never been disappointed but when I ate here last week I was really impressed.The main menu hasn't changed in the years we have been eating here, but the specials menu often does and this time I was persuaded by a friend to try the mushrooms. I have never eaten a stuffed mushroom in my life but they sounded lovely.Stuffed mushrooms with Stilton and Cranberries were divine and something I have urged all my friends to go and visit Checcos to eat. I really enjoyed them!!As usual the staff were friendly, the service was quick, efficient and personal. The decor hasn't changed in probably decades, but this does not make it shabby. Its always warm and inviting with an authentic Itlain feel. My of our friends eat out here. In busy periods it can be a little cramped, but the atmosphere is is always the same. It's a really nice place to be on any occasion...try those Mushrooms though...they are great!!

We went out for a mid week meal, and turned up without booking, which was not a problem. We were seated and supplied with drinks very promptly. The staff were all friendly and the waiter that took our order was knowledgeable about the menu. My sister wanted a starter that wasn't on the menu, which was not a problem at all. We had olives to go with the starter and they were very tasty and nicely marinated.The garlic mushrooms to start were delicious - one of my favourite starters but so many places do a very bland version. These were good! For mains two of us had pizza. They were large, but well covered with tasty toppings, no scrimping. The other member of our group had veal, and said that it was cooked just right, and that the veg to accompany it were good. Checcos has been there for years, it never seems to change and it doesnt need to. The food is good, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly. All key ingredients for a good evening out.

Service was awful - staff didn't seem to know what they were doing and we were brought the wrong wine twice. Food is greasy but edible. Wouldn't return in a hurry

Visited for a family birthday meal. Booking was for 5.30 but we was seated after 6 because they said it doesn't open untill 6Very cramped hardly any room to move.Food was ok, nothing special.Not family friendly at all, no baby changing facilities.Unfriendly, rude staff. They got our orders wrong and anything asked of them seemed to much trouble she talked to us very abrubt and sighing at us. When another customer started to threaten my mother out of the blue the staff did nothing to help and refused to call the police!!!Would recommend anyone to AVOID!

Very much spur of the moment decision to go out for dinner, we decided to try Cheecos and it was a good decision, the welcome was warm and we really liked the ambiance of the place so settled down to a drink and look at the menu. All very relaxed and comfy, once decided we gave our order and were offered advice on our meal which was appreciated.Meal was excellent and we felt we could relax with no one looking over our shoulder or waiting for us to finish, everything was good as was the serviceHighly recommended we will be going again for sure

As someone who dosen't like onions and tomatoes I frequently struggle to find a good choice of mains to my pallette whilst eating out. My first visit to Checcos last night left me for once with an array of mouthwatering choices and decisions to be made on what to choose. Service was perfect we were shown to our table by a gentleman who addressed us in a mixture of english with a few easily understandable Italian words which made the eating experience special as combined with the surroundings could leave one forgiven for thinking you were actually in Italy itself ( Have been to Italy).Atmosphere was warm, cosy and relaxing, food was excellent everything our party ordered was freshly prepared and piping hot . Polite cheery waitresses had the balance just right as there is a fine line between being ignored or feeling you are being pestered to death during your meal by being constantly asked is everything ok. There was no problem with being able to take home the rest of my meal I was unable to finish ( to full to finish ) and loved the choice of a takeaway dessert I could enjoy later which I did. House wine was perfect and would order again, not a great lover of wine but this ticked all my boxes.Would most def visit again

We have been to Checcos numerous times in the the last few years and always enjoy it. We were seated within a few minutes. My Fiancee ordered lobster ravioli, which he was

We go to checcos loads as our "date night" an as always it's fab, excellent value for money, fabulous atmosphere, food amazing, would recommend the spaghetti carbonara anytime. Being very picky no rose proseco tonight :(( service second to none, it's our monthly little piece of Italy!! Can't fault this place.

Checcos is one of our favourite restaurants, we have been going here for nearly 20 years. I can recommend the Pâté it's homemade and served with a full size garllic bread. It's a small quaint place but with a realy good atmosphere.

We love Cecco's the food is great and the service is wonderful. Nothing is too much like hard work and its a real family atmosphere just like an Italian should be.

I have been here a few times, usually for family events. There has never been any complaints with the food. The staff are not overly friendly but that didn't ruin anything, its actually nice not to be pestered about 10 times during a meal asking if everythings ok. The steaks there are the best Ive had anywhere. My family love the pasta dishes and the pate starter is to die for. The place is cosy without feeling like your too close to other tables. Its my favourite Italian :)

I visited tonight as part of a leaving party. In years gone by I had chosen Checcos for my own leaving parties twice. However I was disappointed with the food tonight. I ordered a starter portion of lasagne plus a side salad. The salad was not fresh with brown on the salad leaves and the few cherry tomatoes that were included tasted past their best. I was unable to eat and was put off finishing my lasagne which I found to be quite salty. Maybe it was just a one off bad night and to be fair the salad was removed from my bill but no apology. Not really good enough and I wouldn' t want to return.

a favourite of ours food lovely as it usually is however been twice in last month and both times got served by a very unfriendly surly man who looks a bit scruffy.!!service does effect your evening out and twice we groaned when we saw he was serving us again.hope this gets sorted!!!

Having been on a celebration works outing meal I have to say this was my first and last time at Checcos Great Harwood. Firstly the service was quite efficient but not service with a smile at all. The waiter was very rude and abrupt and if seemed anything asked for was just too much trouble by sighing and throwing cutlery down on the table. The food was nothing special in anyway. The mushrooms were dry and expensive and the roast potatoes were just deep fried and hard. Some pasta dishes were also very bland. Quite a few of our party were also of the same opinion. When we have been to other Italian restaurant's eg Tiggis in such a big party they have given complimentary garlic breads. These little things when spending a lot of money in a big party make all the difference. Will not be returning.

We came to checcos as a group for the first time and was very impressed with the authentic of an Italian! Very tradition inside!!Our food, some of us order garlic mushrooms and we kinda expected atleast some sauce with the mushrooms! They were very dry to eat. But then I had a salame for main course an that was very nice!! The desserts were average! You don't get a lot of home made desserts anymore in any restaurant.We were served by two young females whom were very smiley and attentive. There was a italian gentlemen which didn't speak much as he were serving!

After some pretty awful local dining experiences we were so pleased to find this little gem of a restaurant. Excellent food, great service and wonderful atmosphere.The trio starter of Calamari, Scallops and Prawns is a great way to start the meal. Lobster ravioli to follow followed by superb profiteroles ended the experience superbly.Cant wait to go back!

As always the service and the atmosphere were spot on. The house red wine is always very good and the menu is bettered by having the specials that change regularly. I had the chicken livers starter and a fillet steak with a blue cheese sauce; it was toe curling good! We'll be back AGAIN. Always brilliant.

The first time eating here could not be faulted the service and food was fantastic...... second time around was a very different experience, the manager and waitress were continuously staring at us whilst whispering and giggling this was very uncomfortable, for some reason I was not given veg with my food even tho I was told it was served with veg but most disrespectful of all was when my friend put her fork and spoon down the manager shot over and swipped her plate, did not ask if she was finished I would not hav been so bothered but the place was empty we took the hint payed for the meal and left needless to say I will not return.

My partner and I dined on Sunday evening. They don't take bookings for less than 5, but we were shown straight to a table. Very cosy, great atmosphere, the service was excellent. We had Cannelloni & Fettuccini with tomatoe garlic pizza for starter. Very good. We both had Veal for our main course, well cooked, but the choice of vegetables broccoli and carrots was rather uninspiring. It was a great atmosphere and we enjoyed the evening.

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a fantastic valentines day meal at checco's. The service is great the food is outstanding we really enjoyed it here.the calzone has got to be the best I have ever eaten and I have been to the med many times. It really feels like your in a warm cozy atmosphere here.we will definitely be returning thank you checco's.

Came here with my girlfriend for dinner and was very nice. Food was beautiful and surroundings was pleasant. Would visit again

I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions and the food and service have always been excellent.We went as a table of 9 one evening over the Xmas holiday and the restaurant was very busy. Being a large table we had booked and was seated to our table as soon as our party had arrived. The service was the usual quick and done with a smile type I've been accustomed to here. The food was the usual excellent quality and the prices are very reasonable.If your looking for a traditional Italian restaurant with a good atmosphere with excellent service & good food, this is the place!

I'm a massive italian food fan, but this restaurant serves by far the best pizzas I've ever had! They don't even make them that good in Italy! Highly recommended.

So nice not having to book in to an Italian, there are so many that just don't make you feel welcome, Checcos always do. Sometimes it is great to go straight to the table, other times just great to relax and have a drink. It's relaxed dining. Yes, the tables are close and you may just have the bad luck to sit next to the unruly, but we never have had to. Whilst I may not have had a stand out meal, it is always consistently good, hence 4 stars, specials are good, standard menu plenty of choice. Can enjoy conversation, so not noisy but always busy, which says a lot.

Food was "nice" but nothing to rave about. Decor was a bit dated and not what I'd expect from an Italian. Wouldn't rush back.

Visited on a Sunday evening and so things were busy. The tables are fairly close together, so it is rarely the place for a quiet meal, but this meal was spoiled by a loud mother and ill behaved child on the next table.The food and service were fine and the location is ideal, with views towards the nick of Pendle.

We wanted to try somewhere different and my partner found this place. I love eating out at Italian restaurants. The food was absolutely delicious and the place was lovely. We didn't feel rushed and had a lovely evening. Would recommend!

Go nearly every week , get very well looked after by Nick, Paul, Roberto and the waitresses we like a break between each course and they are always very accommodating and the food is great!

We went here for a birthday meal, group of 4. We hadn't booked but there was no problem getting a table....good start. We sat down, drink orders taken, we looked at the menu. Orders was taken, my mum ordered cannolini and he asked if that was the meat to which was answered yes. When the starters came 3/4 was nice but the calamari my partner had was like rubber bands. When the mains came the 2 pasta courses was fine....but the lobster thermador was chewy and the sauce had got a skin on from the heat lamp and The rice was too salty. Then they bought a chicken dish out and looked confused when we said it wasn't ours. They took it back to the kitchen and sent another waiter out with it again. They gave us a look, sheepishly apologised and then returned to the kitchen. We had nearly finished the mains by the time the cannolini came. There was no proper apology and the more expensive chicken dish was on the bill! Overall not the relaxing birthday meal we had hoped for.

Making our way north, I was looking for somewhwere to eat tea. My grandparents had lived in Great Harwood and I had driven past this restaurant often but not eaten there in living memory. We turned up on spec. and got a table quite swiftly, waiting outside in the sun with a drink for a pleasantly short time. We had mains (pasta and lamb) and deserts (tirimasu and strawberries) and all were excellent, as was the house red and white wines. The interior is cosy but pleasant and the service was excellent.

and finally went. It was very pleasant, the two waiters doing front of house are spot on greeting you well and keeping an eagle eye on tables and the waitresses. The portions are generous the food good and the prices reasonable. I will go again.

As a fairly regular guest who has high praise for this restaurant, we were disappointed after our recent visit. It was a fairly quiet night, but still had to go and ask for drinks (there was no way the waitress would leave the bar) Our order was taken with usual professionalism, and about 10 minutes later we were seated at our table. Unfortunately within about 30 seconds our starters arrived, we all felt far too quick. Calamari was tasteless, however, the homemade tartar sauce was excellent. After clearing the starters we stated we were “in no hurry”! however, despite this we felt our main course again arrived far too quickly. 2 rib eye steaks @ £23 each were tasteless. We ate them more because of the cost than enjoyment! The others guests had to wait about 5 minutes for their pizzas to arrive as there had been an “accident” in the kitchen! When they did arrive they were excellent.Checco’s is normally an excellent restaurant, I just felt on this occasion they were focused on getting customers served and out, and not on the overall dining experience.

We have visiting Checcos for what must be over twenty years and it has been totally consistent in excellent service and food. I feel I have come to Italy when we visit. Less tables equals more comfort for customers. Bravo! Stefano has it all under control and we look forward to many more visits.

Me and the family came to this restraunt on Saturday, we didn't book so there was a bit of a wait. After a couple of drinks in the waiting area we where finally seated, With our menus, I choose the chicken livers cor starter. which where not as tasty as they usually are! My wife had the same and agreed. Anyway are mains arrived and made up for it all! I ordered the rib eye steak from the specials menu medium rare, absolutely delicious! And the wife had the seabass... Again perfectly cooked and tasted great! Very busy restraunt!

We love every visit to checco's and its well worth the 30min drive than visiting our local Italians.Excellent value and the deep fried Brie on the specials menu is fantastic!

Been here lots - each time its great! The food is amazing, the servive is fab and the atmosphere is enjoyable! Some people like to dress up for an occasion, others simply go for tea and nobody is made to feel out of place. Italian staff work here which adds to the Trattoria ambiance! Would 100% recommend Checcos and if I lived closer, would be here all the time :) p.s the homemade pate is the most amazing thing ive ever eaten!
