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.

Pros: great food, good drinks menu, most staff are friendly. If you want middle aged rowdy, rather than fake ID rowdy with the kids in the bars further down, it’s ideal. Downside: deafeningly noisy. Having to talk loudly all through your meal so the person next to you can just about hear you, is draining. Also, it’s small plates that come in waves, and our sultry waiter just placed the new plates he brought on top of the old ones, rather than taking them away, until it was such a cramped mess, we cleared some of it away ourselves and put them on the bar. Bear in mind this venue is a bar as well as a restaurant, and there’s no real divide between the two, so avoid weekend evenings if you’re looking for a relaxing meal out.

We loved it at A'Vucciria. We chose 5 dishes between two of us, plus dessert and I thought that was perfect. We recommend the bruschetta and lamb, although we enjoyed every dish! Very good service and the cocktails where also delicious. What a little gem, we will definitely be back!

Lovely food and choices, although not for the weaker wallet just under £100 for the two of us including wine. The atmosphere was good, although it was very busy meaning our table wasn't ready and it was super noisy. Service was mixed in that the order taker and the female server were great, chatty but efficient. However the young male server needs more training as he was so softly spoken it was difficult to understand what he was saying and just literally put each dish on the further corner of the table, no attempt to arrange these sharing dishes to make them accessible to both of us. That's more an observation and I'm sure easily rectified. They missed one of the ordered dishes, which was probably ideal as we'd clearly over ordered. Anyway a lovely relaxed meal.

First visit here and they were excellent. Word of warning it's a very busy bar as well as a restaurant but didn't stop our enjoyment of the wonderful food.

A warm welcome is always guaranteed. Good wine list with reasonable prices. The food was amazing and delicious. The restaurant was very busy which is a testament in itself. Every time we’ve dined here we start planning the next visit.

Absolutely superb food and wine. Lovely atmosphere and good people. Always looked after and the food is always the best standard. Highly recommended

Third time we’ve visited, the first time the food was dreadful, not cooked, cold or not as described, would be some of the comments. However the second and third times the food us been excellent, well presented exactly as it was described with some great tastes and textures, both times one dish was forgotten which is a slight shame as both times it arrived once we had raised the issue and eaten most of our other dishes, 8 dishes for 3 people felt about right. Couple of points that need addressing, it’s not a kids playground so children running around and being quite noisy should be addressed, it can spoil the evening. The staff need to be slightly more attentive to tables that are dining, we literally had to wave or shout to order more drinks or fact get any attention to our table, no upselling and no knowledge of the food and wine on the menu is not doing you any favours. All in all a decent evening but an3.5 out of 5 rating…..

ROSEMARY PICKUP

First time at A'Vucciria with family and friend. Delicious food, excellent service but from a personal point of view very noisy and hard to communicate with our party, but as said that was purely a personal view...otherwise could not fault our evening.

Great, great food, totally delicious. Welcoming and very efficient when we arrived, but as the place was so busy (Sat evening), it was a little difficult to get attention when we needed it mid-meal. Very busy, very noisy, and we'll probably try to pick a quieter time when we return. Very good value. Did I say how much we loved the food??!! TOTALLY delicious. Highly recommended (and we eat out a lot!)

Becky Clarke

Amazing as always. Food delicious in a great atmosphere. Service was fantastic. Our waitress with the blonde hair was very attentive.
