We used to love this place it was amazing. We haven't had chance to go for years now due to having a small child. So on our very rare night alone we decided to go. Shocked to see it mostly empty for a Friday night. Starter was nice but my main was awful. I had cabonara that was so dry and stuck together I couldn't even eat it. Not one member of staff at any one time asked us how our meal was. The staff where not the littlest bit bothered that i couldn't eat the entire main course. It took me 10 minutes to get there attention to ask for a drink because they was stood around talking. They advertise coca cola but it was cheap coke for real coke prices. (Trivial I know but this annoys me) And the lady waitress who served us was rude and moody when she approached the table. The male staff appeared polite, but I certainly would not be returning again.

Service was very attentive Waiters where super polite & helpful Food came very quickly The price is fair The food was gorgeous although I got a chunk of bone on my duck pizza I didn’t like that at all but the taste was still lovely The staff where very patient with our young children also very family welcoming the only disappointment is we felt very rushed through out the meal which made it a little uncomfortable It’s very busy & the tables are booked in constant rotation which is okay but we did feel rushed I would return. Thankyou

Like school dinners - DONT GO !!!!!! The place is just like school dinners, extremely noisy and rude staff - we didn't eat the food as we left due to the horrendous atmosphere, we were seated next to ten noisy children, whilst their families were seated at the other end of the restaurant !!!!! As we walked in a random gentleman walked in and said - please can we have a table for 3 and they were seated in a boothed area, So we decided to ask if we could move as there were 4 spare tables . So I asked the waitress who then asked the manager, He came over and quite bluntly said NO we are fully booked ???? that did not matter the fact was we were sat next to ten noisy children screaming and shouting!!!!! whilst their parents were at the other end of the restaurant We didn't want to sit next to the ten noisy children and pointed out that the man that didn't book got seated OK. The Manager just looked at us and said Were fully booked ???? then change out seats to any empty seat ?? We left the table to go and finish our drinks in the reception We told the Manager we were leaving - he just shrugged his shoulders - no apology This restaurant does not care about his customers - only about the volume that comes in the door !!!!!! too many tables crammed in a small space STAY AWAY FROM HERE YOU WILL RUIN YOUR NIGHT

Very disappointed!! Service left a lot to be desired - staff do not know how to smile or be confident in what they are serving which is not surprising as the food ordered was not worthy of the Ninos name and reminds you of why you have not visited for a while as does the staff waiting on. The best have moved on to better places in the valley so try those before Ninos!!Not what it was !!!!

Have visted Ninos on several occasions as we have friends who live in Rawtenstall, and it`s a very good Italian restaurant in any case.Went last night to take advantage of the Government scheme and it was excellent. All the Covid precautions were in place, we distanced our tables, staff wore masks, sanitizer availavle, etc, so all good.While we all had different starters and mains, all good, mine was especially tasty, Carpaccio with rocket and parmesan shavings, then Crab and Prawn in a tasty sauce with spaghetti, a friend had fillet steak, cooked to perfection. Only my wife had a pudding, Creme Brulee, her favourite, then a very nice strong coffee.Service was very pleasant and attentive throughout, so overall a very pleasant evening and great value of course.

Met with a friend for a socially distanced dinner, she lives locally but hadn't been here for years.Good social distancing measures in place. Large menu, I opted for linguine crab and prawn pasta which was delicious. The tiramisu as a dessert was outstanding.My only small complaint is we did feel rushed to order and dessert orders were being requested as soon as the last fork of main eaten. A more laid back Italian dining style would have been preferred, especially as we had a lot of catching up to do over dinner.

Wednesday night treat out with the family, garlic / tomato bread pizza to start was ok but ordered lasagna for my main meal. Terrible chose as it looked and tasted like it had been dug out of the back of the freezer for 6 months, farm foods ready meal frozen lasagne would of been more appealing! It was just mush in a bowl. Kids pasta meal was tiny had to order extra chips to make it look like a meal. Politely gave this constructive criticism back when asked if everything was ok, but then watched on as the staff whispered this around and we watched the chef’s laugh and shrug there shoulders. No response to the constructive criticism by management/staff, very disappointing....

We ate here for sister in law's 50th birthday. The food was passable at best. My pasta, salmon and asparagus was just a dish of smush with not much flavour. My daughters penne putanesca was pretty much just pasta and pepperoni in a tomato sauce. Some meals in the group were missed and some were just wrong. I could have made better at home. It was a big disappointment and I wont be returning or recommending.

We visited Nino's for the first time this Saturday for quite a while and the first impressions that we noticed is that it has been redecorated/redesigned to a very high standard.The reason for the visit was to celebrate Christmas with some of our friends. We found the whole evening wonderful, the food (all 6 meals) were superb and the entertainment afterwards was first class. The only reaon that I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is that the waiters made a mistake with drinks on one occasion and that we had to ask for more drinks on a further 2 occasions so I felt that they could of been more attentive. But, in their defence the restaurant was extremely busy.The evening was not cheap but if you want good food and top notch entertainment then this is the place to visit. We will definately return and I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent restaurant.

Booked a table for 7:30. We arrived at 7:25 and were asked to wait a few minutes as they were just clearing the table. The waitress came over & said the table would be ready in 5 minutes at 7:50. We were still sat there at 8:00 so we asked her when the table was ready & she said they didn’t have any tables available so they were waiting for people to finish eating. So the waitress told us the table would be ready in 5 mins when actually she had no idea when the table would be ready. We eventually got to the table at 8:15 (45 minutes after we booked it for). The food was very tasty & the waiting staff were very attentive. It was just disappointing to wait 45 for a table when we had booked 1.

Despite having nothing marked as vegan friendly on the menu, the waiter, Hakan told us they would make us food especially and they didn't fail to deliver. We had a lovely vegan risotto with a vegan pizza to start and the food itself as well as the atmosphere and service, were brilliant. Highly recommend!

Excellent staff. So attentive and helpful with all our needs. Always on post for A simple wave never had to wait plenty of staff all over at posts so we felt constantly cared for the meal was also EXCELLENT. so good and the price in my opinion very low T 14.95 3 courses on Sunday. And very clearly all authentic made from scratch foods that adds so much to the experience. My one disappointment is the menus are very scruffy and there were just a couple of incorrect cutlery issues . Desert spoon for the soup..no cake knife with the tiramisu . The menu being a photocopy in a plastic sheath is a thing that could at first lead you astray into thinking it's not a first rate restaurant. The food ..the interior and the VERY EXCELLENT staff are WELL WORTH my 5 stars

Starters: Mixed bruschetta was a bit tasteless. Pate was nice, kids didn’t like the garlic bread compared with Gusto. Mains: Cannelloni was tasty, spaghetti Bol was weak & tasteless sauce, carbonara was sickly, Pizza Nino’s was OK. Pudding: Tiramisu was excellent. Overall ok, but will not be returning.

Thought we would try Ninos again as went a few years ago, went in and looked really nice but wasnt greeted the best and was quite rushed. I had bruschetta which seemed abit of a small portion but was quite tasty, was not filling enough. For 2 of us it came to arround 90 pound or just over which wasnt bad for price. Had an everage experience here but felt like we was rushed a little which i didnt like. The woman on the front didnt seem the happiest but she might have been having a bad day. Overall i preffered this last time i went and not sure whether to go again. Very reasonably priced though

Firstly, we were celebrating a birthday here at ninos, and as a group we very rarely go out to eat together. So this really was a very special occasion. On arrival everything was perfect, my sister who’s birthday it was, was extremely excited. We got sat at our table which was nice but felt like as we were by the door we saw everyone come in and out in and out. We ordered our food and I sneakily spoke to one of the waitresses to mention it was my sisters birthday. Whilst ordering the food we specifically asked for one dish to not be spicy. On arrival of our main course we all got stuck in and we got asked if our food was ok, of course it was apart from my sisters whose was still too spicy but as she suffers with anxiety she just kept extremely quiet and didn’t say anything to me or anybody else.

The tables were set beautifully, the staff were brilliant and attentive, the food was.... AWFUL! I understand that it was a set meal for lots of people but come on, frozen food heated up????? If a restaurant down the road can consistently turn out traditional food to a very high standard then I think it's time to rethink where this charity event is held in future. I only hope that most of the ticket price went to the Hospice and not the restaurant. They may have been better giving us Italian food instead of a poor man's xmas lunch. I'll certainly not be visiting again anytime soon.

Lovely restaurant with good menu. Authentic Italian food. Good Garlic bread and starters but main course of Tagliatelle al Salmone was far too dry and difficult to eat. The asparagus tips were full stalks and woody and hard to cut. Not enough sauce, so left half of it, no one came to ask how the food was, or I would have told them! The restaurant was very quiet so there was no real excuse for this. The meal was expensive so service should have been better.

My wife and I visited Nino's for a quick dinner. To put it simply, the food, the service and the atmosphere were simply stunning. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they were able to sit us in front of the kitchen before the reservation was to come up. Also, the staff including both the waiting and kitchen staff are incredibly nice and helpful which makes the experience that much nicer. You can dine here for £25 per head with soft drinks (which we did) and leave satisfied or you can really enjoy yourself and spend more than £100 per head and still leave thinking I would definitely go there again.. I cannot rate higher.

The staff were amazing in ensuring that the early leavers had their meals served whilst the others were having starters. It must also be said however that the food was superb. My husband declared his Calzone was the best he had ever eaten anywhere, and my cannelloni, too, was delightful. All meals were freshly cooked to order and, quite frankly, this place is amazing value.

Nino's in Rawtenstall has been my favourite restaurant for over 20 years - I nearly gave birth there to my youngest son!! Over the years, the quality of food has always been fantastic and the service very attentive. A large group of us went last May to celebrate 2 of my sons' birthdays - 21 and 15! The 15 year old being the near-birth in the restaurant! Excellent food, atmosphere and service then. We then visited again in September and were a bit disappointed - things seemed to have slipped a bit. I then read the reviews and saw that others had similar experiences. Since September, I have eaten elsewhere but missed my Nino's fix!!

Had mussels from the 'specials' menu, let's just say they were not 'special' they resembled cockles in a mussel shell, that's the half that didn't have to be thrown away as the shells were cracked. We had lasagne and cannelloni ...... they looked and tasted identical apart from the different shapes bowls in which they were served. They were very watery as though they had been frozen, thawed and then refrozen. They also seemed to have been made with cheap tinned chopped tomatoes with a significant vinegar aroma. All in all massive let down.... Will certainly NOT be rushing back.....

Lovely place very cosy and smart.First impresson nice place drinks are pricey but happy hr on cocktails 2 for a £10 not bad sat at the bar waiting for rest of party to arrive then swiftly seated. Now bearing in mind we all pre ordered our meals starters and mains. But the wait for food was way too long then when the starters arrived they came they all looked lovely. Mine was missing the balsamic oil when asking the waitress she passed a bottle of balsamic vinigar lol not quite the service am used too i would have expected a bowl and some oil. Maybe that's just me anyhow moving on my partner had pate which came with chuttney,bread and limp salad.

I believe that Nino’s has changed hands since I last ate here so I was intrigued to see how the food compared. My parents and I went for an impromptu meal on Sunday evening and I wish we had chosen a family favourite rather than coming here.

I went on Saturday to Ninos restaurant with my family for a special meal. All the food we had was excellent. I especially enjoyed the calimari starter and the wild boar pasta main. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout . We had a brilliant evening, thank you to everyone and thoroughly recommend a visit. We will be back again soon.

Used to be among the best in Lancashire now the new " owners" are just trying to maximise profit at the expense of quality . My mussels were so small they should have been thrown back to grow non as big as my thumb nail! Items on my fish pizza were from jars and tasted only of vinegar and the anchovies were totally raw - mut have forgotten them - and again tasted of vinegar ,pizza base very soggy .been going there since they opened years ago they have been through bad times before but now that Alex has ( in theory) sold out ther is no one to do anything reckon as it was under half full last night it won't last much longer than early next year unless they start to use proper ingredients again .sorry Alex it's the last you will see of me after being a regular for over 30 years !!

We went tonight for an impromptu family meal. Starters arrived the cannelloni was good as was my salmon and prawns (can’t really mess that up though) but the calamari was over cooked. Came on to the mains, veal was over cooked and dry, the seafood risotto was claggy and very bland and my daughter didn’t like her spaghetti bolognaise. We didn’t complain was nobody actually asked how the food was and by the time we had tried our mains we just wanted to get home and put the little one to bed. Very disappointing and expensive, we don’t mind paying for good quality food but this was just poor.

Visited on a Weds night for my daughter’s birthday.The kids really enjoy tomato garlic bread, so we started with two of those. Very nice!We all then had different pasta’s. All very good indeed.Mine was in a nice tomato sauce with prawns and sea bass. Very enjoyable. My daughter had Cannelloni and that was terrific. I’d have that next time for sure! The restaurant brought out a tasty strawberry desert, with sparkler, for my daughters birthday, which was a nice touch.We had two other desserts, which were both also good.A very nice evening all round.

We were invited to Nino's to celebrate a family members birthday. Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Most of the party ordered starters aswell as a main course and everyone commented how good the food was. My husband ordered wild boar pasta then seafood risotto, I had garlic mushrooms then meatballs with linguine which we would both recommend. Other members of the party had pizza, steak, chicken, lasagne, cannelloni so good selection of different meals were tried. Couldn't fault the food or the service. Pity we are not local as would definitely go back again on a regular basis if this is the standard of food.Thank you to Nino's for a lovely evening

Went with family for evening meal,I had pizza which was very very soggy and the onions were quite hard,my husband had fillet steak ,he asked for medium to well and it came well done and quite tough to chew, it came with veg and potatoes but the one potato it came with was actually the smallest potato ever and hidden under a tiny lettuce leaf and at £25 it was very overpriced. The staff are very pleasant but we feel we didn't get value for money

Nino's went downhill years ago and we stopped going. Some friends said it was much better so we went tonightWhat a turnaroundGood service, lovely food and a great atmosphere. None of the old rushing people through courses which was a bit of a trade mark - in fact we asked for a break between courses and they were quite happy to oblige.Definitely going to make it a more regular destination again.

I have visited Nino's on several occasions over the years I have lived in the area, and I am yet to eat a meal there, where the food is not extremely salty and overpriced. The restaurant is constantly recommended to me by friends and local people, but I am unsure why. The menu has everything you would expect for an Italian restaurant, with no discernible reasoning for the high prices. It is not an exciting menu, there are absolutely no stand out dishes, and when the food arrives all you can taste is the salt. It is a shame because the restaurant itself is very nice, the staff are good and the location is also in its favour. It is the flavour that lets Nino's down completely. Take the heavy salt and the high prices out of the equation and the restaurant would be good. I would not recommend visiting here, as there are better Italians in the area.

Nino's is a great Italian restaurant full of life and great company ! The staff are fabulous and welcome families young or old. My children love going there, plus it holds a special place in my heart as my first date with my husband was there ! The menu caters for all, and they are capable of tailoring it to your needs. Advisable to book in advance !

Well I have my now 9 yr old granddaughter choosing this place. We have a few birthdays all together and what a wonderful place to spend it. Beautiful elegant restaurant with staff who know what is expected from them. Food, superb. Thank you for one of the best family nights. We will certainly be back.

The restaurant is large and spacious with reasonable seating, good menu plus specials, friendly service and good food. We parked on street, but think there is a car park at the rear.

My message to Ninos.....Don't judge a book by it's cover!I now understand what is going on here.My 1st two visits to Ninos and I'm dressed very casually and get really disappointing (in fact downright poor service), 3rd visit I come dressed a lot smarter and with overseas business colleagues and we get great service, decide at that point that my first 2 visits were maybe just unlucky timing and given great reviews made by others I assume that the norm is more like my 3rd visit...... nope.Just been with my wife to Ninos and after a tough day we are both dressed pretty casual (she is still pretty, I am very casual). Aside from the excellent professional blonde lady at front desk the service is shockingly bad again. Food was very good so no complaints there, but initially we were led to the worst table in the place (on a cramped mezzanine bang up against a service station) despite there being loads of much better tables sitting empty, so I had to insist we were moved, then they started serving starters before bringing wine, and during the meal they simply ignored us to the point we had to get up twice to get service. It also wasn't pleasant seeing a senior waiter continuously focus & letch horribly over a table of young women just down from us.I moved in to the area a while ago to take on the running of a major manufacturing business here, and as part of that I take customers & colleagues out for meals most weeks, I also eat out with family quite a lot. On average I reckon that between work & personal stuff I spend between £1k & £2k a month in restaurants in Rawtenstall. This last £98 will be the last bit of company or personal cash that I spend in Ninos.A place that judges & treats people on appearance alone isn't a place that deserves patronage in the modern world.

3rd visit and finally I get why it gets such good reviews from a lot of people.1st two visits I've been very far from impressed and only returned as my guests were so keen on an Italian meal. However this time I encountered a great welcome from a professional & engaging front of house, food was very good (calamari best I've had anywhere in ages), and wine excellent. I assume the head waiter was the main man as the whole place had a different more positive feel than my previous visits here, and everyone seemed more focused on the customer and on delivering a genuinely high level of service. If this was the norm I'd be delighted .......let's see after next visit!

Although it is rumoured to be closed for redecoration many locals believe it will not re-open as planned. This is a shame as they served consistently good food.

Awful from start to finish. Young girl waitress jumper covering hands and pink crocs on. All drinks from bottles and cans! Poor olives. Waited far too long for god awful dishes. Seafood risotto was chewy and inedible. Cannelloni meat tasted like dog meat. I'm going to guess frozen, reheated in the microwave which we saw, then in oven to make like lava. Mondello should not call himself a chef serving the nonsense we just saw. I hope people read this and stick to an actual Italian.
