The best restaurants serving Italian food in Gisburn, Rimington Ribble Valley North West

La Locanda is, undoubtedly, the best Italian restaurant in the UK. Why? 4 reasons: 1. Outstanding food The most authentic, always outstandingly delicious Italian food - our favourites are bruschetta, scallops, spaghetti allo scoglio, wild sea bass and wild sea trout. Maurizio is a hugely talented agrichef, who sources 75% of ingredients locally. His passion for quality, local sourcing and for using seasonal produce (and Extra Virgin Olive Oil) is a joy to behold! 2. Service Cinzia is a delightful, charming hostess - welcoming, friendly and professional. Her wider team are warm and attentive. 3. Ambiance A beautiful converted weavers cottage lends the ambiance a rustic, cosy, wonderfully romantic charm 4. Unique La Locanda is unique. Very rarely can you find a restaurant that has award-winning, authentic, world class food, wonderfully attentive service and a fabulous ambiance. Also worth mentioning the many extra special touches - ever changing daily specials, palette-cleansing sorbet between courses and delicious Italian chocolate truffles/chocolate served with the best coffee outside Italy! Finally, the La Locanda team go above and beyond to accommodate my often difficult, medical diet (gluten-free, dairy free, pescatarian). Maurizio and Cinzia are passionate restaurateurs who deliver a unique, truly Italian experience. We feel truly lucky to live close to this exceptional restaurant and have been enjoying monthly dinners there for 19 years. Grazie Mille!
