About A’Vucciria

A'Vucciria in Palermo is one of Italy’s most visited markets and it translates literally as 'hubbub’. It describes a humble place where you can enjoy simple and tasty plates of food washed down with good wine and beer or a cocktail. Rawtenstall’s A'Vucciria celebrates the Sicilian culture of eating, drinking and socializing and you can nip in for a casual bite at the bar or sit down for a three-course meal. It’s a stylish venue with a mezzanine floor that can be hired for private parties and events. Inspired by Sicilian street food, the kitchen team delivers the best of modern and traditional Italian flavours, using top-quality local and Sicilian produce. The food is complemented by a well-chosen selection of largely Italian and Sicilian wines as well as a bespoke drinks menu incorporating Italian Craft Beer and Cider and a range of premium cocktails and spirits. Open every day except Tuesday for lunch and dinner.

Brought family here last night as we have eaten here a few times and have always enjoyed the food and ambiance. They were extremely impressed with the food, as were we. Each dish was so tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff were welcoming and attentive and we even enjoyed the playlist! Look forward to returning and would certainly recommend.

First time we have been but had a fantastic experience. Great food, brilliant service, will be going again soon. Huge recommendation. It was late afternoon on a Thursday so only another couple of people so can't score atmosphere properly.

Have visited quite a few times now and it's good. Overall it's in an amazing building (worth a visit for this) with very nice staff and excellent food. My major criticism is the lack of a substantial vegetarian or vegan main course dish for the Sunday lunch. Even the meat option had no veg included and just came with a few chips. All the verdure dishes are really nice and it's easy enough to ask them to be made dairy free, especially when the serving staff are attentive and helpful. But really, I'm totally bored of the menu now. I knew what I was in for before my most recent visit but I still couldn't help feeling disappointed at the lack of creativity, especially when even Gregg's can cater multiple items for vegans these days. I won't bother coming for food again as I have voiced this before and it really feels like my opinion/custom is not valued. A real shame as it's hands down the best food and space to eat locally. If you eat everything, great, but don't expect your veggie and vegan friends to be that excited past their first visit. Also, the bread and oil is a total rip off.

Excellent visit once again. Asked for a booth when booking which was honoured. Fantastic service and food.

What a scintillating Scicilian delight. We've been here three times at lunch and this was our first evening meal. Every time it has been excellent. The choice of food is amazing, serving tapas style dishes of anything from veggies through fish, to meats, breads and desserts. Our latest visit included Gluten Free requirements, and I'd say roughly half the menu is safe. The tastes are just sublime, with succulent meat skewers, delicious fennel sausage, crisp carrots, potatoes with smokey sauces, basil topped salads, delightfully light tiramasu in a latte glass, alongside a good choice of authentic Italian beers and Mediterrean wines. The old converted bank is brilliant in taking you to a mediterranean restaurant, the service is efficient and friendly, creating a casual and calm buzz. Rawtenstall may not seem like a foodie delights choice, but A'Vucciria ensures it rivals (and betters) anything in the nearby big cities.

Visited this week with a friend, a first visit for us both. From walking through the door we felt very welcome. The service, the food and the atmosphere were all excellent and we really enjoyed the experience. We had 5 dishes between the 2 of us which was more than enough and all were delicious. I'd definitely return and would certainly recommend.

Enjoyed a 3 hour lunch for our anniversary. Food came perfectly and freshly cooked, accompanied by super Sicilian wines, obviously chosen by people who know the island intimately. First time we’ve seen Zibibo on a wine list in the UK. Amy, Liv, Millie and Ruby looked after us as if we were royalty. Will certainly be back soon.
