Fabulous place, amazing quality of food, superb traditional home cooked food, staff most friendly indeed, cosy and warm, comfortable dining area, well spaced, not squashed in, (unlike some places) the service excellent. Would recommend without hesitation, first time visitor, and will be a long time customer. Used to visit the derby arms, not any more, the dog has most certainly won us over.

Dined here recently with family. Was greeted with a smile by the very friendly waitresses and shown to a table quickly. Had a seafood chowder and homemade apple crumble, and both of these were absolutely faultless. Felt very full and pleased after the meal. The one thing I did pick up on was the manageress shouting at the waitresses in the dining area. I don't know what happened but I felt it was unprofessional on their part, as the waitress seemed visibly embarrassed. Aside from this, great dining experience 4/5

I was recommended this restaurant by my colleague who is familiar face at the Agra..the food was excellent and service was rushed with not so polite manager...this experience was very much rescued by a very experienced waiter, named kahn, who realised our dismay and lightened our mood with his creative manner and hospitality. I mentioned this to my colleague,who confirmed this professional waiter to be of the very highest quality with mannerism to suit. thank you kahn, we will be back !!

A Saturday evening before Christmas is a challenging time for any restauranteur! When we arrived at 7.30 "the joint was already heaving" but well under control. People were definitely enjoying themselves! We were shown to our table promptly and orders taken and served all within reasonable time by cheerful and attentive staff. The meals were excellent and the filet of venison cooked to perfection. Second visit and shall be back.

Had a meal on Sat 8th Dec 2012. Excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff. Their home made bread was a real treat as an appetiser and starters and main courses were of a very high standard. A very pleasant dining experience indeed. A little gem.

We have been coming here probably since it opened. We get take out about twice a week and eat in every So often. Food is excellent and all the staff are so friendly. Everyone should try New Year's Eve and believe it or Not Christmas Day. Takes all the stress out of cooking. Keep up the good work. Well done. Mr W.

Just eaten here can't believe how good it is everything is brand new the menu is fantastic will be back definitley one to try

What a Gem, fantastic atmosphere my husband and I recently visited for the first time with our friends. We were greeted by the landlady who has a genuine friendly bubbly personality, which has obviously rubbed off onto her team. The menu was fantastic, I'm trying to eat reasonably healthy and there was so much choice. The food arrived beautifully presented, nice and hot and the waiters/waitress very polite. The 5 of us all enjoyed the 2 courses that we ordered. Will definitely be visiting again.

Wow, this place gets better and better, the best food around for miles. Historic Lobster Thermidor for a special treat but amazing imaginative food, local produce, varied menus and good wines and beer. All staff well trained and nothing is too much trouble.

WOW OH WOW ITS AMAZING.

Very nice place a little expensive not a place to end the night but a place to start your night few cocktails and maybe a meal before hitting the rest of town. food is fab and definitely would reccommed people to try a few cocktails :))

Food excellent, service not up to standard. Went to the restaurant this weekend and was expecting a much higher standard than we received. Yes the food was excellent but the service definitely wasn't. I found the manager Vinny to be rude and ignorant of anyone that he didn't know, we asked for a drinks menu and after receiving it we ate and left the restaurant without drinks as no one came back to take our order! Vinny spent more time talking to the tables containing groups of girls and ignored everyone else. We asked for glasses of water at the beginning of the night and didn't get these so gave up, ate our food and left. It's a shame as the food is excellent.

Best restaurant in Chorley! My family, friends and I regularly eat at the Italian Cottage. The menu caters for everyone's tastes at reasonable prices. They do a special 3 course meal deal on Thursday and Sundays as well as a pizza/pasta deal on Wednesdays. The service and friendliness of the staff are what makes it such a good place to eat. They always try and accommodate any requests you may have and nothing is too much trouble. My advice would be to book in advance as it is a very popular restaurant..

Excellent meal, good service, pleasant ambience. Will visit again and can recommend.

food average, service bad, great for a mid week meal but wouldnt go for a weekend meal. Atmostphere could be improved if the public house underneath had music a little quieter.

Enjoyed a good meal here. Fish and chips and 'posh chilli'. Both were tasty and service was friendly. Great open fires, even one outside for the smokers!

The most expensive and over rated resterautn every eat at. The Pizza kebab house down the road would be much better quality. Charging £50 for a take away for 2 people that tast disgusting is shocking. I will never eat at Nino's again, even though I have lived local for over 20 years and grown up with this restaurant...such a shame! PS the last 6 occasions have been disappointing and this is my last supper with you

Excellent! Good food, nice atmosphere, made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door
