Checco's in Hyndburn

Spot on! Went last night and have not been for such a long time. The specials menu was amazing , fresh mussels , but I had the salt and pepper halloumi. Wow the best . I then had chicken Milanese and a nice bottle of Malbec. The atmosphere , service and food were exceptional. We all enjoyed it . This place is a must visit !

Having driven past Checco’s numerous times and saying we must eat there, we finally went for dinner last night with some friends. The premises are traditional Italian and quaint For starters we had deep fried Brie, meatballs, chicken livers and the salt & pepper halloumi from the specials menu. All dishes were hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. For mains we had pizza, chicken, fillet Rossini and pasta sugo from the specials. Again every dish was great. We shared some puddings (tiramisu & profiteroles) which finished off the meal perfectly. Service was polite & friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. In short, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back soon!

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.

We’ve been here many times over the years. Always very welcoming and the atmosphere is pleasant. The owners are lovely and will happily engage in conversation unlike many. The food is always good, we’ve never had reason to complain. The pasta and pizzas are spot on as are the specials. If there was a negative thing I could say it would be the food is basic. It has a “I could have made this at home” feel to it but having said that, it obviously works! The restaurant is nearly always busy especially weekends so if you like homemade Italian but don’t want to cook get yourself down to Checcos, you won’t be disappointed!

Booked a table for 8 to celebrate my big birthday. The evening was fantastic. We were looked after so well, especially the 2 little ones who ordered Pizza. The ambiance with friendly, welcoming staff were a delight. Some of our party had travelled up from Shropshire and said how much they'd enjoyed the food and the service. Thankyou everyone x

Came here with my Son his girlfriend and her parents. We received a friendly welcome and the food was freshly prepared and tasted superb. I would definitely recommend this place ! Thank you

Great local eatery with genuine Italian touch the pizzas and pastas are in the £13 to £15 range with fresh ingredients. Starters are tasty and authentic and the sweets are just that. Really nice atmosphere and genuinely friendly and professional staff.

Not been here for a while but glad we did Food was delicious and piping hot Great friendly hosts We will definitely be planning another visit

Absolute first class food and service! We’ve been several times now to this little gem. We live near whalley, which is only 5-10 mins away and so much better than the competition in whalley. Your always greeted with a warm, friendly welcome and promptly show to your table. The food is anyways prepared fresh and they will accommodate any little changes needed. Everything is delicious, especially the cheesy garlic bread. So to sum up if you want to a fresh traditional Italian cooked meal, this is he place to go.

We ordered two pizzas and some chips to take out and it was delicious. Really authentic and tasty- will definitely be back!

The pizza was bland bolognese watery and the garlic bread had no wiff of garlic we may aswell have ate a piece of cardboard this was once our favourite restaurant.... needless to say we will not visit again

We visited on a Saturday evening. On arrival there were quite number of cars on the car park which always looks promising but on entering the restaurant only about half a dozen tables were occupied. We were shown to our table and given menus. The waiter returned and took our drink and food order. They had no cannelloni (a quiet Italian restaurant that has run out of cannelloni). Our drinks arrived and the wine was pleasant. The garlic bread with tomato was under cooked arrived with our starters of stuffed mushrooms. These weren’t cooked in olive oil more like sunflower oil and were greasy and tasteless. The waitress (a very young girl with obviously no training) cleared the starters from the table and never asked how the food was. The mains arrived after less than a 5 minutes and we had to call the waitress back as we hadn’t been given any cutlery. We weren’t offered any black pepper or parmesan and were given the smallest dish of veg to share. On a positive note the mains were excellent. The meat was perfectly cooked and the sauce was very tasty. Again when the table was cleared we were not asked how our food was. All in all we were in fed and out in an hour. We like to go out and take our time and enjoy the experience. Make an evening of it. We felt rushed and will definitely not be returning.

Really enjoyed everything, traditional Italian and will definitely go again soon, service excellent plenty of parking which us always a bonus - we had a mix of pizza, lasagne, pasta dishes etc all excellent … just thought the lobster ravioli was overpriced at £15.95 for the portion size (small / medium)

We didn’t know about this place until we happened to drive past it last week. Decent sized car park Nice seating waiting area Traditional Italian interior with candles in the evening Very friendly staff and good choice of menu The garlic bread with tomato was lovely and the spaghetti pomodoro was spot on, generous portion as was the spag bolognese. Eton mess was nice Lemon Cheesecake wasn’t a cheesecake , more a sponge But nice £7.25 was a bit steep for dessert Would definitely return

Family of 9 for a birthday meal…Will be visiting again, good food all round, accommodating, friendly staff and service

Been many times, but not for a while, lovely welcome from the very friendly staff. Food was really good, I always have lobster ravioli, its the best, tried it in many restaurants and it just isnt as good.

Love Checco's, so traditional & authentic, owners & staff are friendly & attentive. Food never disappoints. Just love the atmosphere, everything is just as you would want & expect. Not many places that deliver on all areas. We will be regulars for sure.x

From arriving to leaving on this chilly October evening with Mum who feels the cold this place was warm and welcoming Cups of tea were warming and refreshing and the lady on service was respectful, knowledgeable and polite Garlic Bread with Rosemary was a lovely...

Friendly service, buzzing on a Monday night. Great choice on the menu really enjoyed our meals. I had garlic prawns then pizza, hubby had chicken livers and I had a taste they were really good, then he had chicken his plate was cleaned! Thank you!

Well catered for a party of 12. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Catered for our gluten free member superbly . Food was exceptionally good. All contributed to a fantastic night. Can’t thank them enough thoroughly recommend. Definitely worth visiting. Pasta dishes and pizzas were...

We were in the area and decided on Checco's for my birthday meal. The place hasn't changed and we were grateful for that. Good retro menu and well cooked food. The Barolo bottle was opened when we arrived at our table. Would recommend that you...

We have loved this place over the years but not been for around 4 years. I had garlic stuffed mushrooms to start and was so disappointed to get 5 mushrooms. The portion size is so mean. We then had lasagne which was lovely tasting but...

My husband and I and friends ended up getting a table at short notice at this lovely Italian on Saturday evening. They made us feel very welcome. We were let down by the hotel we were staying in and luckily for us found this little...

We went during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme thinking we’d get a really good value meal as we went before lockdown and got a 3 course meal for £50. While the food is amazing, we only got a main each and 2 sides...

I’ve been coming to Checco’s since I was a child (over 20 years) and recently visited again during the governments scheme on a Tuesday night. The service was fast, the staff were attentive and the food was as good as ever! The atmosphere was bustling...

This is a difficult review to write due there being some good points, but also some seriously bad ones. The main issue was that social distancing was not being applied throughout the restaurant and our table was less than 2 feet from two others. This...

Personally found it pricey for fairly average food in a pretty basic restaurant. Mediterranean Prawns were not memorable. Even with the £10 government discount per person it was not great value. Still it was busy so the scheme is working and perhaps enough people like...

We visited Checco's over 20 times during March and September 2019 whilst working away from home on a contract in Burnley. Each time we were greeted by the wonderful staff as if we had been using the place for decades. Always with a smile and...

A one time favourite haunt of ours. Our return on 21st Feb/20 was after a long absence. A warm welcome by Stephano. Downhill after that. Quite a number of diners but no atmosphere at all. Quite pricey and food could have been more adventurous. Quality...

Absolutely amazing, it was a really busy Saturday night but the service was spot on and we were not at all rushed. The mushrooms stuffed with crab meat where so good! The staff were are friendly and we stayed for an drink in the bar...

Dont know what’s happened here. Evening visit tonight for birthday meal. My Steak was awful..when I commented just shrugged shoulders - expected more for a £24 steak! Daughters spaghetti had a funny taste - Poor lighting - can read menus, or see the food -...

Visited this evening for a pre holiday dinner. Superb welcome as always, offered a special dish for main course. So glad we both decided to order it. Best Veal I have ever had. Superb starters. Brilliant staff. Amazing service. A real go to restaurant. Try...

From the minute we set foot in this lovely restaurant nothing was too much trouble. The waiting staff were very friendly and accommodating and they exuded a warm close knit vibe. My wife and daughter ordered the lasagna which took a little longer but was...

Love this place. Always get a nice friendly welcome. Feels really authentic. Always busy with a great atmosphere. Food is great. The staff and the service also great. Happy days.

We have been visiting Checcos for many years now and it has never disappointed us whether it's a family celebration or a meal out with friends. We always order the garlic bread with tomatoes and generally stick to the pizza and pasta menu. The pizzas...

Traditional and busy roadside restaurant with above average prices. No real atmosphere. Some elements of the food were very good (calamari) and others less good (soggy lemon meringue). Nice enough but not that special.

Called in at Checcos by chance. We were not disappointed, the quality of our food and friendliness of the staff was brilliant. We will return highly recommended

Been visiting checcos for over 25 yrs- Great, traditional trattoria- with extensive menu and specials board. Authentic food and great atmosphere- staff v friendly and good ambience 👍

Came her for a meal with my partner on Monday 7th May in the evening. We were warmly greeted, as usual, and shown to our table (which we were welcomed to choose for ourselves which was lovely). We had wonderful service from all staff throughout....

A friendly welcome awaits you from the attentive staff who explain the menu and specials board in great detail. All four of our dishes were served together with no delays and were piping hot. The quality and taste of all our food the other evening...

Went for tea after the pictures on a Friday night. Food was very good, I had the Checco's pizza which had a bit of everything on it. Atmosphere was very cosy but not to loud. Service was excellent. Will definitely go again

We stumbled across this restaurant when away on business and I’m so glad we did. Food was absolutely delicious, fantastic price and the staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful when discussing our route home to Devon tomorrow, they told us times to leave and...

A delightful meal maybe the decor is in need of an update but the service was smooth & well done great presentation

Small restaurant lofts of people counted 40 people in a small room difficult to get from table to toilets if there was a fire not easy to get out, service was good but when you mainly sell pizza and pasta it should be good bit...

This restaurant used to be one of the greatest in the area, freshly prepared food, second to non service and friends used to travel far and wide to experience the fine cuisine on offer... Sadly this has changed, quality of food has deteriorated... cheap easy...

Fantastic atmosphere best to book of you have over 7 people. Frequently visit this place it’s local to myself. I have sambuka chicken ( it was on the specials menu several years ago) they still cook this for me when I ask it’s beautiful chicken...

Reserved a table for 6 people for dinner at 7.30 pm, had a pre dinner drink and table promptly ready on time. Standard menu and a ‘Specials board’ with lots of choice except no lamb dishes at all. Each of our choices were quite nice...

We had an okay meal here, no real complaints, service was good and food was okay. I’d heard good things about it from friends but I don’t think I’ll be returning! I had spaghetti Bologna’s and garlic bread with cheese!

Food was amazing as always, helpful friendly staff, fast service and reasonably priced, will definitely be going again. We had the Brie and chicken livers for starters - really tasty would recommend. For main we both had the lobster agnolotti (ravioli) which came with a...

Pleasant welcome and nice ambience, tables rather cramped together. We ordered garlic bread with cheese - you cant go wrong with garlic bread, or can you! Lacking in taste and it seemed a very flat flatbread, as though the dough had not had chance to...

Excellent felt like I was abroad and the staff were so professional and made you feel at home can’t wait to go back and very quick service couldn’t fault thank you

Best Italian restaurant outside of Italy. Travelled from Liverpool back to my home town for the evening. Was just as good as I remembered. Lovely staff and perfect food.

Having been dining with colleagues and family for over 17 years at Checco’s,I found my self leaving last night disappointed and dismissive attitude of the service. Having only consumed half my steak as it was largely well done and not medium as requested, I was...

arrived shortly after opening as i am aware of how busy it gets, friendly staff and very fast service, pizzas were hot and delicious and the deserts were refreshing and rich without being too much, would definitely come again in the near future. also glad...

Our favourite Italian, been many times over the years. Standard very high and has maintained this over the years. Stephano seems to have an excellent memory about his customers. Staff changes occur but mostly of Italian origin bringing about an air of realism to the...

Me and the wife went with friends in September . They had no minestrone soup I thought they were having me on . They got no soup . The portions we small I got a kebab on the way home . We had a few...

although there are alot of Italians around checcos has always been very popular and good, nice food, cosy atmosphere, there are some good competitors around the area though!!

We've been going to Checco's for over 18 years now and I can honestly say we've never found a more friendly, Italian run restaurant anywhere, even within Italy! The staff are superb, the food second to none and the atmosphere reminiscent of an evening in...

Been going here as a group of four ladies for several years - usually couple of times a year. Very authentic decor which is lovely. Food is always tasty, do agree with other reviewer that the portion sizes are much smaller these days. I would...

Been coming here for years an all dou past few years portion size have gone down a bit! But never the less still nice at it was! Staff are friendly an service on par! An food is fresh an like it how u can see...

We love the food here, we have been several times and have never been left disappointed. The atmosphere and decor are very authentic and the staff are always pleasant. Lovely place!

Started off well when we got seated I liked the interior of the restaurant,also the starter was very good and flavourful however the main was okay at best and not worth the price, also the atmosphere felt very hostile like the waiters didn’t want you...

Yet another lovely meal at Checcos last night. I love the mushroom ravioli which wasn't available, however I was quickly offered a very tasty alternative. Great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Party of 4 and no complaints, would recommend and will definitely...

there were thirteen of us at checco`s sat 2nd sept, it was a bit of a do, as it was called, the starters, and the meals was absolutly first class, the service also was second to none, and everyone who was there was so impressed...

Cheap quality food prepared without any love.Premises in urgent need of a makeover.Not cheap.Surviving on its reputation which was good in the past.

We arrived early for a family meal- food was amazing - fantastic traditional Italian . Staff friendly and welcoming - Love it here !

Really enjoyed my visit, would definitely return. Starter and main both very tasty. Staff very friendly.

Family celebration meal. Travelled down from Edinburgh. Party of 12. Extremely slow and to the point of 'don't care' service. Table booked for 7.30pm and were finally seated at 8.10. Needless to say no meals arrived until after 9 with some of the party getting...

Lovely meal, really tasty, nothing too much trouble. Great staff and owner! Great choice of food and drinks

Delightful dinner with family, lovely ambiance, varied Italian menu, lovely staff all made for a pleasant evening.

The welcome was only reasonably friendly and the menu's were in need of being replaced s they were well worn. Drinks were delivered quickly and order taken. The food arrived very quickly and overall it was good without being great. There was no real feeling...

My husband travels on business a lot and I always join him when I know he's going to Checcos. Authentic italian food, great wines and excellent service. Never rushed. Always busy with a great atmosphere. Best to book even on week days.

Myself and 8 friends had food here two weeks ago and we had a lovely time and lovely food, there was no complaints at all with all our starters and main meals ... lovely place for a nice romantic meal two

Visited for the first time on a friday teatime in january.couldnt fault anything. the food was delicious especially the pizza's which were very authentic.will definitely be back again soon.

Byliśmy kilkunastoosobową grupą. Nie było problemu z aranżacją stolika. Uprzejma obsługa. Jedzenie fantastyczne. Pizze idealne, szczególnie przypadła mi do gustu...

Having been to Checco's quite a few times over the years for various anniversary, birthday meals etc, it is easily my favourite place. The food is always excellent, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is always relaxed and inviting. Can't...

We have been going to this restaurant for years and it's always been ok but on this occasion it wasn't very good at all. We both ordered cannelloni which had a strange taste, the girl who served us was surly and everything seemed to be...

Visit with family. Good italian food, lovely setting if a bit small at some tables. Friendly staff. Would go again.

A party of us went and the restaurant was quieter than I've ever seen it. All of us enjoyed everything we had and when it came to desserts, the ice creams contained 3 scoops, each the size of a grapefruit. I've reviewed it before and...

Went for a xmas meal with 6 friends. We ordered starters of garlic mushrooms and scallops and black pudding,had to wait a little while. Starters came they were very hot. Main meal the salmon was nice but the vegetables were very large and not very...

I went for a meal with my daughter, as italian is our favourite cuisine. We ordered pizza and garlic bread, all of which were bland and quite dry. Also, one of the waiting staff was not hospitable, and we had to wait over an hour to be served. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Went here yesterday with another couple had a great meal and enjoyed PLEASE t staff and surroundings. Love Italian and this place as recommended by a friend of mine may not be flash but the foods good and not overpriced.

We have been going here for years and each time we go we are made so welcome it is a wonderful restaurant

This used to be our favorite restaurant which is why we chose it for my 60th birthday. Booked a table for 8pm and was told table wasn't ready but no indication how long it would be. At 9pm when we complained there was a sudden...

Despite a bit of a wait on a very busy Saturday night, we still had a great time and it was so nice to go to a proper Italian restaurant - there aren't many left! Great food and great atmosphere! Thanks!

We had a family meal for my brother in law at checco's. It started badly and ended even worse. When we arrived we were shown into a small waiting area, with lots of other families. There was a definite lack of seating. We were left...

Have been a number of times over the years and even very recently. This was a stand out terrible visit from start to finish. In fact, its pretty much all bad. I'd not quite go as far was terrible but it really wasn't far off....

The food is lovely it is an Italian restaurant, you can see into the kitchen and watch them making the pizzas. But the decor in the restaurants is a bit dated.

The Food was really nice and fresh also came in good time, the service was excellent and I would say it is one of the best Italians in the area.

The food was delicious and the service second to none. The pasta and pizza made at Checcos are scrumptious the desserts are to die for

Had a lovely meal here on Sunday. They were great with accommodating our party of 8 without a booking. The staff tended to everything we asked for and were great. We'll definitely be back again!

This place is brilliant for a family meal out however the place is rather small, however they do accommodate for larger parties!!

Dirty, smelly, untidy, poor customer service! In there 10 mins at the most. Never to return shame as only a few years ago it was the place to be!

Been coming to Checco's for 20 plus years still the same cosy italian with a great menu, great food excellent service as always and friendly and accommodating staff who always make you feel welcome and make you want to return! And only a stones throw from where i live! Winner

Great food but a little dated inside Vert 1970 can get busy at times movement around the restaurant can be difficult due to the proximity of the tables

Complements to the chef first time we were here. The food is really good. Good portions, Good flavours. It's a very nice family run restaurant with a good atmosphere. I would definitely return if I was back in the area. The service was also great everything arrived on time even though it was almost full within the restaurant.

Visited Checco's on a works evening meal night out. There were 12 of us & upon arrival our table was ready & service was very prompt. The venue is great, very lovely looking property which is clean & tidy with very friendly staff.Food was beautiful & freshly cooked. Would highly recommend.

Have been a couple of times and was extremely let down by the food, the service was okay but the waitresses need to do leas chatting and concentrate on the customers
