Rosa Barrowford in Pendle

We were only staying in the area for a few days and ended up going here 3 times! Bottomless brunch, evening meal, and afternoon tea. We thoroughly enjoyed each visit, the food was amazing, the service was brilliant and the atmosphere was lovely. It was probably the best Italian restaurant we’ve been to and would highly recommend it.

Excellent meals and venue. Very good food, slightly marred by what seemed like pre cut beef on the roast which was a little bit fatty. Italian meals were spot on though. Clean and tidy with very attentive excellent service. Thought a nice addition would have been Italian music. Plenty of parking spaces behind the restaurant.

Booked a table for 6pm, 4 of the 5 starters arrived the 5th didn't arrive until we had finished which they had forgot very disappointing. When we received the bill, a bottle of wine had been added which we never ordered they agreed to take of the bill, then came back and we were told that earlier drinks needed to be added. We advised that those drinks were paid for prior to the meal, the missed starter was taken off the bill. Overall food was very good but it seemed that no one was in charge

A little slow tonight the 5-19-2024 but the meal was amazing highly recommend

Excellent meal and service by everyone for my 60th birthday. Value for money, well recommended.

Had a lovely meal here highly recommend. Very nice place and the food is very good 👌

Went for a bottomless brunch with friends, amazing food staff were really friendly and service great

We went there last night and it was very busy. We had a very good meal at a relax pace. They have plenty of staff who’s keep checking on us if we’re doing okay and very apologetic about slight delay in food service. As usual I have seafood pasta and it’s consistently good along with the tiramisu, highly recommended. Will definitely come back again

Absolutely amazing. Food was delicious and we are definitely returning. Staff so friendly and attentive. Thank you Jack, Ruby and Freya for making our evening on Wednesday special. See you again soon.

Lovely food, fab presentation. Manager Lewis was very welcoming. Real top restaurant quality food. Atmosphere was friendly and intimate. Not hurried by staff who were patient and professional.

Highly recommended and fully exceeded our expectations for service and for the food.

Absolutely brilliant Italian food is amazing staff are very friendly 5 stars isn't enough

We celebrated our family birthday ... but not at Rosa's.... !!!!! We left after waiting far too long for food which never arrived .... and having to endure an unacceptable level of noise from a table of high spirited...and very thoughtless ..... customers. Non prenoteremo piu !!!

Amazing food but was a little upset with the long waiting times 1-2 hours, probably because there was only one waitress who was very kind but had a lot of tables to attend to.

Excellent good. Best Italian around. Ordered a calzone and pasta both was very rich in flavours and authentic. Young staff were all very friendly and excellent service credits to them!

Just looking at the outside of the building you can see the place is going to be lovely and the inside does not disappoint. The welcome from the staff is lovely and the food was excellent, fantastic taste with good size portions and there were lots of options. The mocktails were amazing! The serving staff were very attentive and made us feel so welcome! I would 100% recommend!

Ordered one course - two pizzas, one pasta dish and one starter as a main. Took over an hour to arrive at the table. Restaurant wasn't busy, one other table occupied with a group of about 12 having a brunch. After45 minutes we were told the food was being dished up but it still took another 15 minutes to make it to the table. Pizzas and pasta were ok but the starter was poor. One of us had requested no onion on the pizza and it had clearly been removed after cooking, thankfully wasn't an allergy. Offered a round of drinks by way of an apology but asked for money off the bill instead which they did give (20% off food). Sadly the long wait ruined the experience though and we won't be returning.

We came to Rosa for a nice chilled date night and our experience was nothing less than perfect! The service was really good, Chloe was our waitress and she was very professional, attentive and polite. The food was lush and at prices was very reasonable. Highly recommend if your in the area ❤️

Garlic bread was under cooked spaghetti and meatballs were a little dry

Lovely food and well looked after by the staff. Can highly recommend the passion fruit mojito 😋

Come last night for a nice girls night and I had the salmon and calamari starter and I now have food poisoning it was disgusting And they forgot my potato's to go with my main Won't be going again

It was Saturday lunchtime, so we found it quiet for the atmosphere. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive and service was prompt.

Just a little quiet so lacking in atmosphere but it was a Thursday afternoon. Food and service were excellent.

Terrible food. Went for afternoon tea for mothers day. Rang before the day to notify of food allergy and if the fish element if the meal could be plated separately and kept away from other food. When the stand came it had the fish on it, the waiter stated well its on a separate plate and thats how it is, 6 people so expected 3 sets of food. Maybe petty but got 2. Food was squashed on with the bottom layer just a mash of food. Dry overcooked prawns and chicken, bruchetta tasted and cut like it was made hours ago. Worst still the dessert was different from advertised when this was one of the main factor of visiting. Booked well in advance so poor planning on their part. Definitely won't be returning as spoilt our mother's day. On plus side the chips were good.

Great food, service and atmosphere.We will be back.

Lovely food only got a few prices of lettuce with my calozone music slightly loud especially for my friend with an ear ring aid but beautiful room

Reasonable prices. Good atmosphere. Great service and great food

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food !

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely night at Rosa. The kitchen must be complimented for their sensitive handling of seafood, and the front of house were attentive and friendly. Only niggles stop me giving 5 stars - the white wine was not cold, the bottle of red we ordered I opened myself and my duck was not perfect (although as a chef myself I do understand how tricky it is to render the fat but leave the meat tender on duck). A good addition to Barrowford.

Great atmosphere and food 10 put of 10. Proper Italian cuisine 🔥 Thank you so much ❤️

O my God !!! I didn't know the place was existed. Best Italian cuisine around Lancashire 😋 😍 Absolutely gorgeous Highly recommend 👌

Good food at very reasonable prices, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Amazing evening ... food fantastic service was above and beyond the atmosphere was perfect. Nothing was to much we was treated like royalty. We have booked again in a few weeks we loved it that much. It's a beautiful place .

Slow delivery great staff Christmas pudding served cold

Lovely place for a near. There was a large group of us so it took a while to serve us and one waitress was very stressed by it all.

Book a table for 4. Got there a little early. Seated and greeted quickly..Meal was absolutely lovely. Could not fault the staff at all. Great service. Really Impressed..

It was so nice the venue was decorated beautifully the afternoon tea was delicious so different to a typical afternoon tea a refreshing change, the service was excellent. Thank you

Loved the food which was hot and delicious and a good price too friendly waiting on staff The only downside and it is a small one is that people can visit just for a drink and at 6.30pm on a Saturday night it was quite noisy and busy around the bar/waiting area

Food was amazing, we had a party of 8 and there wasn't any waiting around to get us seated and fed. Excellent service

Very relaxing atmosphere. Service was excellent as easy the food. Will be back

Great food and service, we went on a Friday night and there was some big groups in there which meant it was difficult to chat on our table as they were loud, no fault of the restaurant, could happen anywhere.

Good quality food and service. A very popular restaurant that is worth visiting.

Superb Monday afternoon lunch. Food was great and well presented. The staff were great, very polite and nothing was any trouble. We took the 3 small plate & shared a calzone which was more than enough. The 3 plates were Parma Ham with Mozzarella / Brie / Calamari. The calzone was stuffed with mozzarella, spicy salami, mushrooms and ham and served with a warm tomato sauce, with a side salad.

Excellent can't find anything negative.

Very reasonable mid week offer on food, so it's great for friends and family nights out. Staff were helpful, food, hot tasty, and served with much of a wait.

Lovely restaurant. Food took quite a while to be delivered. Friendly staff.

So, our 1st visit. I never bother with reviews but I really do want this restaurant to achieve their best and stay open. Our starters took around 45mins to come. They were beautiful. In general the service was quite slow and it wasn't busy Our mains came a little quicker. Again amazing food. However, I really wasn't happy paying £17.95 for a chicken breast in sauce and then having to pay extra for each of the veg £4.95 and then potatoes on top. I can not knock the food it really is lovely and I'm dying to go again. But I can not justify that kind of client rip off... a meal is a meal you don't pay for each part of it.

Nice little quiet cafe type restaraunt.

We visited here on a Tuesday with the plan of enjoying the 3 courses for £23 offer. All good tasted great and was well presented. The decor was very floral but not garish. We booked a table earlier in the day on their website and had no problems with this. They seated us very quickly. The only down side was the 2 front of house staff seemed to struggle to keep up with demand as there were a few large tables. We found ourselves waiting long periods to be served food. It took from 19.30 to near 10 to have 3 courses for 3 people which is quite excessive. Other than the delayed food it was a good experience

Lovely Italian restaurant. Very busy and delicious food.

A great evening out with family. Rosa offers a great selection of Mediterranean dishes from arancini to gnocchi. The service was fantastic with very attentive staff and beautiful decor in the restaurant itself. I’ll be sure to come back the next time I’m in Barrowford and I’d recommend that you do too!

Lovely staff and very nice food. Also excellent value for money.

Had an excellent visit., great beer.

The food was delicious service was excellent especially Lewis he was exceptional 👌

The food was good, staff were lovely. The pizzas looked fab, will try them next time.

Afternoon tea. Was outstanding . Most definitely will be returning.

What an absolute joke, ordered food on Uber eats they waited 20 minutes to cancel the order.. phoned them for them to tell me they forgot to turn Uber off and they won’t issue the refund but to speak with Uber then slammed the phone down.

Food cold when it came , service not good when it was quiet while we where in , not great atmosphere nice place but didn't have what I wanted 9 apparently run out , won't return again.

Had a great meal here , chicken stroganoff. Sat outside in the sun. Lovely friendly staff. Definitely will be going again.

Food and drinks were both nice Experience was brought right down by the fact that we, a table of 2 people, were the only customers present in the restaurant at the time and yet the staff were so inattentive No one checked how the food was, we were never offered further drinks, condiments were not brought to us after we asked so had to approach the bar to ask again and found the staff were on their phones - I could understand if the restaurant was packed but there were literally more staff than customers present at the time Would not revisit due to the poor service

Just sat outside in the sunshine with a cocktail. Lovely staff a gorgeous drinks 🍸 😍

Very poor service by interested kids. Long wait for the second course , when it came it was disgusting. The pasta was mushy and the flavours did not meld together

I've had a few meals here, the staff are lovely and the pizzas (it's all I've eaten because I had the calzone and have been back twice for more) are fantastic and also reasonably priced.

Brilliant food and staff are very helpful and friendly!! Definitely recommend :)

We had an amazing meal tonight. Compliments to the chef and amazing front of house staff!

Excellent food although we had to wait longer than ideal for it to be served,good service by friendly staff who were very accomodating, definitely recommend a visìt

Lovely place! The atmosphere is really nice and the service was great. The food was delicious. Must visit👌🏼

We had a large family meal here the service was excellent and the food extremely good. I will definitely be back again

absolutely fantastic, great atmosphere, great service, great food. There were 4 of us all differing taste and desires all catered for with perfection. Jesus we even got cloth napkins!!!! Price point, fair and we fully enjoyed it all four of us so well done Rosa at Barrowford.. We shall be returning soon.. thank you for being one of the nicest places we have dined in ages.. 10 out of 10. you deserve the score and this review. ps please can you put on a bit more chicken stroganoff on mine is was fantastic tasty dish. The potabellow mushroom starter main dish was just sublime.. and the fries topped with parmasan and truffle was a taste I have never had and so enjoyed... ..

This was our first visit, but it was safe to say it won't be our last. The food was absolutely delicious,with very generous portions. The service was first class. The restaurant as a lovely feel to it,spotlessly clean.

Turned up prompt for a 5.45 booking for 5. Was sat immediately and order was taken. Drinks arrived after 20 minutes which we thought was a little poor. Nothing compared to a 1 hour wait for starter of garlic bread!!! The olives were forgotten, when questioned we were told 'that dish is coming' no apology despite it clearly being forgotten as we then heard the waitress shouting for them in the kitchen. Mains were nice enough. When we had finished eating and turned down the offer of desserts, we were asked to leave as the table was needed for 8pm. Fortunately we were keen to leave anyway as the attitude of out waitress was disgraceful.

Brilliant food and service, not your typical Italian that has a menu bigger than a dictionary. The food was excellent and service to match

Rude staff! Slow service! Never again

First time here, thoroughly recommend. Food was excellent,staff were excellent and will be back again.

Lovely meal with friends last night. The food was delicious and the cocktail menu was fab too! Lovely atmosphere, will definitely return

We were a group of six people, we had a round table perfect. The service and the food was excellent, well worth a visit .

Lovely decor. Tapas were tasty but a bit cold. If you are ordering font order all at once. Pizzas super

Lovely atmosphere, great service and excellent food. We had the small plates/tapas style, 3 for 13.95, really good and great portion size.

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. Great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious. Highly recommend. We will definitely go again if we're in the area.

Perfect evening for Mother’s Day, such a lovely atmosphere and beautiful place accompanied with even better food; all the staff where amazing especially Jack, who provided us with a great atmosphere, served us so pleasantly and ensured we had everything we needed all night! Definitely will be returning.

This is our 2nd order. The previous order was absolutely great however… This order was inedible - hair in the food. Missed carbonara. It was stone cold & the Arancini was awful, tasted stale and left an awful lingering taste. The parmesan fries were almost opaque from the grease! So disappointing compared to the first order we made! Sadly won’t be returning. (BBQ ribs were great)

Great food for a Friday lunchtime. Loving the pizza. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Well recommended!

Very nice decor, good chips and lovely staff, especially the head waiter. 5.90 for a pint. The food itself is poor though. Gnocchi came served in a hot bowl like pub lasagna does. This is never good, just keeps the food stonking hot and detracts from the taste. In this case that was lucky because it was bland anyway. Burnt at the edges too. Pizza was like Aldi’s own, which is nice but you know, is it restaurant quality? Penne arrabbiata was like something a student would whip out. Meh. Treat yourself though, you might like it. It was well busy.

Booked a table for a large family gathering on Saturday celebrating a birthday,our table was not ready on time,they were still waiting for the people to leave still when we all arrived at this restaurant.There is no proper waiting area,so it was really busy and not good just stood hanging around waiting for our table in such a small area.The gentleman in charge was apologetic,but this was not good as everyone was really hungry by the time we eventually sat down and got our starters.The ribs to start were divine but not very hot,the Vegan meals Gnocci pemontese and Penne arrabbiata were bland and not enjoyed at all,the vegetables had butter on them so they could not have those,maybe I should of mentioned in my pre-order. All other meals were nice,apart from the lasagnas just a little burnt on the top, service was excellent despite being very busy.Really lovely restaurant and friendly staff.

Highly recommend! Warm, friendly staff, delicious food and great atmosphere.

Lunch with friends. It's a lovely place, nice staff, and open on a Monday!! The food was delicious, and generous sized portions. 3 of us had the selection of small plates... 3 plates each and more than ample, one had pasta, and one pizza, both of which were really large portions, and delicious. Reasonably priced Would definitely return. Highly recommended!

Arrived on time 6pm. We were told we only had our table until 8pm. We were not served until afer 7pm sorry not good enough.

Fabulous. Lovely place . Food was excellent. Plenty of choice on menu, drinks,cocktails.Staff brilliant. Very busy this evening. Good atmosphere. Comfortable. Can definately recommend Rosa and we will be going again.

Visited for valentine's night. Had a fabulous meal and staff were lovely. Definitely worth a visit

Fantastic food, customer service, atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Always good food and happy to have an Italian in the village again

Three of us went for a relaxing meal sorry to say it was not what we got, we asked for water several times eventually it arrived. The meal was nothing special in fact it would seem the sauce was a one pot sauce that went with every meal. It was tasteless and disappointing. The crowd on the near table were so loud we couldn’t hear each other so asked for the music to be lowered only to be told it had gone up to drown the noise from the table nearby. It was in a word dreadful . Not one of us enjoyed it and has put us off making a return visit. In fact the next morning I felt jaded and anxious. The staff didn’t try to solve the issue so sad to say we can’t give a realistic good review

We celebrated a birth last week, 7 adults 3 children, we all had different starters and mains, All were very good, service was excellent and there was a nice comfortable feel about the place. Would recommend.

First visit to this new restaurant in Barrowford (the site of the former Zio's and Quattro) on only their second night of opening. The restaurant was busy and the food was good just a couple of hiccups with service but chatting with a staff member, training still in progress. Didn't spoil the evening and we will be returning soon.

We had a meal yesterday evening with family and all enjoyed it. Great food and service. Two of us have food intolerances/allergies and they catered well for us. Reasonable prices. We were too busy eating and chatting to get many food photos. Between us we had pizzas, pasta, gnocchi, chicken, fries, affogato, ice cream, chocolate brownie, deep fried pizza dough with Nutella sauce, and cheesecake Excellent gluten and dairy free pizza for me and our granddaughter was delighted with her dessert topped with Nutella sauce which she was really looking forward to.

Went for lunch today with 5 friends food was amazing staff were polite attentive and professional couldn't fault anything would highly recommend

We visited Rosa’s on Christmas Eve and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The decor is fantastic and gives a great atmosphere. The member of staff who waited on our table was one of the most attentive and helpful serving staff we have ever come across - thank you! The restaurant became quite busy and loud but we were still attended to and didn’t have to wait very long at all throughout the course of the meal. Wine and food were both lovely, we particularly enjoyed the arancini starter dish. Will definitely visit again.

Dined out with my wife and mother in law. Mother in law had chicken in creamy mushroom and truffle sauce which looked very appetising and tasted, according to her, Delicious. Myself and my wife had the fillet & ribeye steak, lobster & king prawn signature grill dish for 2. Lobster overcooked and rubbery, steak dry & chef forgot to cook and serve king prawns with rest of dish. They appeared 10mins later once brought to attention of staff. Disappointing for a £65 plate of food. Roast garlic potato's unchewable and a challenge to the dentures. Apart from head waiter, staff seemed very young, inexperienced, and slightly lacking in social skills. Overall, an underwhelming experience and not worth the money.

Dire. Went out with 3 adults and 3 children. No one to show you where to sit on arriving , despite booking a table. No crayons or colouring for the children. Menu uninspiring, staff as unhelpful as previously noted. One starter was missing and had to be asked for, and food was very salty. Wish I’d taken photos, but to be honest- just wanted to get the hell out of there. The place was cold and lacking atmosphere and sat near the toilets - I could smell them! We had a lasagne and a cannelloni- both very dry. The carbonara is coated in a white gloop. It’s enough to put you off Italian places forever, even my 11 year old commented “ Mummy, the foods not very nice in here” 😂😂 and didn’t want a dessert.

Really lovely restaurant,very pretty looking and welcoming.good service very helpful and food to die for definitely highly recommend,we had a lovely family meal thankyou
