Secreto Restaurant in Blackburn with Darwen

This was our third visit, first was very good second lacking, today this wa a rip off. Garic stuffed mushrooms 7.50 good, waiter said starter special so ordered the mushrooms were cut in quarters in a liquor with too much chili not mentioendmy preference however the dish would have cost under a pound and charged at 10 pounds 50⁷ Main course meat dry risotto like Pudding just add sugar well over cooked prawn and asparagus perfect but will not go again After first meal reccomede now have to retract.to all😡

Fantastic food and service. Couldn't fault it. Will be visiting again. The Gyros is especially good and perfectly cooked.

A hidden gem, well worth a visit. Bijou, relaxed and cosy space with really friendly and attentive service. Food was very good, menu interesting - some classics as well as more unusual things. Recommend!

The food was good here but the service could be improved. They are trying to fit too many people in. We went as 2 couples and were squeezed into a corner which was difficult to get in and out of our seats. The service was really slow and we had only just finished our main course when we were told that our table would be needed in 15 minutes, this was only 5 minutes after we had ordered another round of drinks. There is also only 1 unisex toilet for the whole restaurant. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant.

Well we didn’t actually get there - unable to contact on phone. So as it was close to our hotel (0.5km) we decided to call on the off chance. Unfortunately even with google we still couldn’t find. A pity as given other reviews I’ve read I think we would have enjoyed

Out for a datenight with my wife (anniversary of our first date) we had prawns al aglio and pate starters followed by lobster ravioli and spaghetti carbonara Excellent food as always and great service Really romantic evening

Very disappointing meal. We waited 25 minutes for our table as it wasn't ready when we arrived. The starters were good but took 45 minutes after ordering, 1 hour 15 mins after our table was booked. One of the meals ordered (pork gyros) was returned as it wasn't good - it was very fatty with a strong flavour. The rice with the same meal was undercooked and was crunchy. Another meal was ordered, a pizza, which was added onto the bill. When we questioned this, the chef/manager said we had to pay for it and didn't apologise for the quality of the meal that was sent back. On top of this, the service was slow, although the waiting staff were very polite, and it was cold. I would not go back and I would not recommend!

Absolutely excellent. A local hidden gem. Food beautiful. Staff polite and friendly and atmosphere lovely.

Great little find food and service was very good and very reasonable price would recommend and will return

Wow. Fancied somewhere close to home for dinner and we thought we’d give Secreto a go. It exceeded our expectations by a mile. The staff are lovely and the food is absolutely fantastic. Age ranged from 73 - 8 and everyone of us left very full and having and a lovely lovely time. Can’t believe it’s taken this long to try this place - we will be back!

First time here and what a fantastic little restaurant. Food was amazing, service and drinks were great, loved every minute and shall certainly return soon 👍 wonderful atmosphere too.

Not a lot of choice in Darwen and had driven past Secreto a few times as was looking for a nice place to eat as was going to an event at the theatre that evening - but the food was excellent as was the service and will definitely go back!

Went for our first time tonight with my inlaws and husband early doors @ 5.00pm. I was amazed with the place all the staff from the moment we went in to the moment we left were wonderful and on the ball. The food was amazing and very well cooked and tasty and lovely touch with the free little taster to have before starter came . All round would go back again and recommend this place lovely feeling about the place. Thankyou for a lovely visit and spending this with my inlaws.

Local so visited again after a while. A v good menu for the size of the place, went for Greek and Italian mix. Prawn risotto was v good indeed, plenty of big prawns, creamy garlicy. This isn't going to set the world on fire but it's darwen and does decent food without breaking the bank. Personally I'd go elsewhere for celebrations but plenty of people do so that's their preference.

My son’s treat at this lovely, cosy restaurant. I would recommend the Mediterranean pizza for the main and salmon brochette to start, delicious. The waiters were very efficient, friendly and prompt service. If you haven’t been you should sample the great food and not expensive.

Tried to book a table tonight but no availability. Ordered a takeaway instead and wasn’t disappointed. Great food and available on time.

Thank you so much for for an amazing evening, there were 10 of us plus 2 toddlers, the food was amazing, piping hot and absolutely delicious. Some of the reviews on here state otherwise but we’ve never had a bad meal here and plenty of times we’ve been with 7 or 8 up to 12 people and never had a bad meal. Absolutely fantastic, I 100% recommend coming here for a meal, beautiful restaurant, beautiful food and fantastic staff, Thank you so much again for making our surprise meal a success! Elle x

Secreto is as the name suggests,a little Darwen secret.Amazing food,service,ambiance we will definetly be returning.

Great little restaurant serving Mediterranean food. I was in a group of nine for our Christmas get together. Even though it’s the week before Christmas the prices and the menu are kept the same. No artificially inflated prices. All nine of us enjoyed our meals...

We found this restaurant as the hotel restaurant was closed. In our view this was a stroke of luck as we were really impressed with the level of service and the quality of food served. We would highly recommend this place and is worth seeking...

We attended off the back of the positive reviews the restaurant had received for a birthday meal, the food and service was average we wouldn’t rush back and left quite dissatisfied.

This was our first visit to this small and cosy restaurant on the outskirts of Darwen. The menu is very comprehensive and very reasonably priced. We had the garlic prawn starter, and these were amongst the best I have ever tasted. We then had the...

1st visit at the newly opened venue. Been to the previous owners use of this space and the current experience is certainly the best. Had 3 courses each and the house red at a total of £80 for 2. Mostly tried the specials which were...

On the positive side the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was tasty. As this is a new business there does seem to be a few issues which can be easily rectified. We waited quite a long time for food and drinks...
