Checco's is situated on the main road between Whalley and Great Hawrood. It is a well established restaurant with many regular diners. As you walk in the bar area is a little small and at busy times can become a little crowded. However, this helps create Checco's atmosphere. This is a small family run restaurant where the conversation and wine are just as important as the food. The starters offer the usual fare - pate, prawn cocktail as well as few surprises like deep fried brie or carpaccio of beef. The starter portions are just enough to wet your appetite and prepare you for the main course. The choice of main meals is what you'd expect from a trattoria - pizza, pasta, fish, steak and chicken. The fillet steak tornado rossini is a treat - tender fillet steak with a rich pate and red wine sauce. You wont need a dessert after this one! The specials board also offers a good selection and is updated regularly. Checco's caters for all groups - couples, families and parties but don't expect to book a table unless your party is over 10 people. This is a 1st come 1st served restaurant. On busy night there can be quite a wait so arrive ealy to get a table. My only disappointment is that the menu is not updated often enough - it would be nice to see something new once in a while. Overall, Checco's offers good food and wine in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
