Reviews in Rawtenstall

My mum and dad started coming here every week before they got married and now they have me and my siblings we can only manage to go every couple of months or so but we also love the fab takeaway range. Great food we travel all the way from south Manchester to just eat this food,its amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and i think that more people should go there as all the rewards of this fabulous food will go to the best staff you have ever met. Great food, love it!!!

We held our company Christmas party at Nino's this weekend, we numbered 50 guests and everyone enjoyed both the food and the party atmosphere. We selected from the party menu which included many mouthwatering choices, quite difficult to choose only one item from each course to be honest! All meals were beautifully presented, served piping hot and cooked exactly as requested, no mean feat when serving 50 people at once! Highly recommended!

Never had a bad meal, and we have been over 12 times now, and even the veg is outstanding, even when i steal it of my husbands plate, i love the atmosphere and the decor, well done to all involved this is the kind of place to go for a special evening not somewhere to go just to "eat"

I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is always really good, however on Saturday night I just wanted a takeaway from here and fancied a change but couldn’t find your Website or menu’s anywhere, after about 20 mins trawling the Internet and finding nothing I went to the Chinese takeaway in Baxenden, do you have a web address so that you don’t lose my business again??

Found this restaurant through Sugarvine, but have since been told by everyone I know how good this place is, went there for my birthday on a Saturday night with my party of 20 people and they very kindly squeezed us in as they know my partner, the staff were absolutely fantastic had a really nice time, the food was top notch and then we stayed afterwards to listen to the Rock 'N' Roll pianist who really got the place rockin, will be visiting again shortly with just my partner for a romantic evening instead of the busy party-fest we enjoyed on my birthday. Thanks to Nic Fernando and all the staff on the night. LOVED IT!!!

Fantastic value for money really nice dining area fantastic with my noisy 3 year old, the landlady a real gem, food is really good plenty to fill your belly with great portions, staff very pleasant, will def be returning xx

I have been eating here since 1991. The standard of the food is consistently good as is the atmosphere and service.

The restaurant has nice decor and spacious so you don't feel crowded in by people. Staff were excellent, very attentive, friendly and polite - excellent service. A really good menu, seems these days I struggle to choose even a starter as restaurants over complicate, here had no such problem, a good selection of Italian dishes and to a very high standard. Also good selection of wines at reasonable prices. Is in a nice location, had a window table with a view of the hills, also away from the high st so parking was easy. A good dining experience and my new date who accompanied was impressed with my choice. Definitely recommend. Bob P August 2008

My Friends and I had our usual monthly visit on weds, which of course is always looked forward to , and as ever the fab meal we expected was both received and enjoyed, as great as any in spain. The Decor and relaxing music add to enjoyable evening

Poor Service and under-cooked Duck!

The food, the staff and the ale/wine are all excellent!!

Cafe Artisan has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, great coffee and tasty well priced selection of sandwiches, paninis, and larger meals. Its also kid friendly, with a good healthy choice of sandwiches & salad (not listed on the menu) and toys/books to keep them occupied.

Went to this restaurant with my boyfriend on Friday night for an impromptu bite to eat. It was pretty busy which is always a good sign. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, though ordered too much which is easy to do as the menu sounds so nice! The scollops to start were cooked perfectly. The prices are set right. Only one minor complaint, the wicker baskets which hold the free prawn crackers on arrival need changing for something more hygienic. There was an accumulation of cracker dust stuck between the gaps in the bowl which put us off slightly. Maybe a stainless steel bowl would be better.

We ate at Casa Tapas last night - early because it was fully booked. It was extremely good. We had about 12 dishes & although 4 or 5 were tomato based they each had a distinct flavour. The staff were all friendly & helpful & the atmosphere relaxing.We've been here often since it opened & never been disappointed.

This is very friendly & trendy bar only 2 mins walk from Bank street Rawtentall. There is a great selection of beers including draft Peroni & a selection of nice organic wines. The decor is cool and the ambience is perfect, there is also a great choice of delicious bar snacks too. The Comedy nights are the highlight with top class stand-up action from the countries best. Cheers guys and good luck - Dan & Gem.

Consistently top class in every department. Full marks.

Nino's is a fantastic restaurant. Whilst it is always busy you are never made to feel rushed and always feel that you are being attended to. The food is outstanding also, I would definitely recommend it.

Called beforehand to book a table & was informed (rather rudely) they didn't take bookings for 2 people. Not a problem as when we arrived we got a table straight away. The lady who greeted us was friendly, although the gentleman who took our order & served us most of the night was incredibly rude & it seemed we were more of an inconvenience than a paying customer to be honest. The food was really great (but I suppose it has to be to charge them prices if the waiter doesn't even smile!) We were asked if we wanted sweets/coffees after having been left 20 minutes with the menus but we declined & asked for the bill. After waiting for over half an hour (unable to catch anyone's attention) we ended up going to the door to pay (which to be honest we could have walked out of without paying & am sure we wouldn't have been missed). I left feeling very robbed of a nice evening as I was made to feel very unwelcome, unimportant yet £55 poorer! If your after fantastic food this is definitely the place for you, however if you deem customer service just as important (as I do) I wouldn't even pick the phone up to book a table, let alone step a foot through the door.
