The best restaurants serving Italian food in Rossendale North West

Sorry but my 1st visit was my last. The food was good/ok. I've had worse and I've had better. The service was diabolical. Waited 25 minutes to order, then it took FORTY FIVE minutes for the starters to arrive. After they were eaten the table was cleared and then had to wait a further FIFTY TWO minutes for the maincourse. I wanted to walk out but the Mrs said to wait whilst also complaining. We could see two chefs working away in the kitchen but we were both definitely under the impression that take away orders prioritised Table customers. The bill was £75 which i think was seriously over priced for what we got. The 3 waitresses ran/ fast walked. The restaurant desperately needs more staff on both sides. Kitchen and tables. We will never go again.

The first time at Mario's will definitely go again friendly staff service good food superb 10 out of 10

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.

A wonderfully relaxed Italian Tapas experience. Fantastic Gluten Free choices.

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.

Great place always consistent great staff always a nice atmosphere

Friendly greeting, the service and food was second to none! I had the caprese salad to start and hubby had king prawns. For main I had fettuccine Alfredo hubby had linguine Al Granchio For the dessert I had strawberries, gelato and cream and hubby had profiteroles, all absolutely delicious. This is the best meal and service we’ve had out in ages. Thanks so much! We will return.

Staff lacking any form of customer service, in fact I’d say rude. Had to collect our own food from the bar that had been sat there for five minutes. Freezing cold and no toilet roll in toilets. Shame because previous visits have been really welcoming. Disappointing.
