Very filling with only eating 3 tapas. Taste is divine. Excellent, friendly service. Side entrance available for prams, wheelchairs and accessible access. Family run business and family friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. Would give more stars if possible. Best tasting food I've had in a long time.

Fabulous food, drink and service! Wish I lived closer!

Fantastic food served in a way that's perfect for social gatherings. Just order, sit back, relax, chat, eat, share and enjoy! First class and good value.

What a revelation finally visited the A'Vucciria for a date 😊 A fantastic pleasant atmosphere buzzing with people eating and or drinking. Had the afternoon menu and the food was very pleasant served by really friendly staff. The draft beer was great and I had a great time. Parking plentiful in and around the town centre. If your out and about around Rossendale call in and support a great restaurant.

First visit and we were very impressed with both the food and service. We will return and would recommend this to friends and family. I would think on a weekend/evening it would be best to ring ahead and book as i think this place is becoming popular, especially after chatting with staff, they have recently won some local and national awards.

Sicilian style tapas. Didn't realise this when we went in, but oh my word, I very literally could order every single thing on that menu, the dishes are all varied and delicious. And even though it's tapas, the portions are definitely generous in nature, especially the sharer platter. Absolutely coming again, with more people too so I can sample more dishes!

Lovely visit to this place - only had walk in space at the bar but bar staff were super attentive and friendly. All food delicious (both of us veggie and there were great options). Friendly atmosphere, busy but service great. Will definitely return.

A relaxing sunday afternoon. Friendly atmosphere, absolutely no pressure and professionally prepared tasty dishes to be had.

First visit and this was a Friday evening, very busy but luckily we had booked so no problem there. Tall table for 6 in the main bar area was spacious and clean. Staff were very attentive, ensured our glasses were replenished and that the food we ordered arrived. Because it's tapas style you're not always sure what the portions are going to be but these were good. All food was good. 6 people with lots of drinks was around £280 plus tip. Very good.

Delicious ambience, and the food, tapas Italian style is scrumptious 😋 makes my Mouth water just thinking about it. The people are friendly and very helpful with the service. We enjoyed our visit here very much thank you

Can’t say it was amazing, I liked the food but to get one scallop for a sharing menu, for £9 - is a rip off, we asked how you called plural scallops on the menu and only get one, for the price too. Usually restaurants like the fact you feel fed when you leave however you need to spend upwards of £30-£40 each to do this here.

Can't fault the place, Food is lovely, service is great and very reasonably priced

My favourite place to eat in Rossendale Italian tapas - Moretti - Prosecco It's all good!

This is the third or fourth time we have been and we had another lovely evening. Food was amazing, atmosphere was great. It does get very loud and busy downstairs with people at the bar!

We dropped in last night to give this place a try. Inside an old bank, it's spacious, there's a lot of people just having a drink and a chat, no music, just a lovely atmosphere in a well thought out setting. They have an online booking system but as this showed they had seats all evening we didn't bother, and just did a walk in. The menu isn't too big - which I like as you don't get lost trying to find something to try. There is a good range of things to go for, and these are smaller dishes, served tapas style as soon as they have prepared and/or cooked them. The wine list is good too - everything from a reasonable house wine through to stuff at £75 a bottle. We had a white and a red at £25 each and I was very happy with the price vs quality. The waiting on staff were very attentive, and for the first time in a long time, the whhite wine was placed properly in a wine bucket that had both ice and water in so the body of the bottle could submerge and remain chilled. There was also a proper cloth serviette with it to stop water dripping off the bottle when it was poured. The wine itself was served correctly by the waitress, and these little things make a big difference to me - thank you. The food was good - tasty, just enough on each plate that it didn't get overwhelming, and we left nothing behind. I hate it when you get too much food, and you end up leaving food on your plate at the end. We had stuff that was Italian/Sicilian, including regional cheeses, and there was planrty to try that you wouldn't see at your average Italian place. Minor constructive criticism hence four stars for service - the dishes arrived a lot quicker than we expected, so we still were eating cold appetisers when the hot food came. This didn't really bother me, but the Mrs would have preferred not to have all of the food on the table at once. It could also have been due to the place only having a couple of other diners, if it was packed busy with diners, the dishes may have arrived more slowly. Next time we go, we'll ask them to take their time, or order dishes in two stagese. This probably reflects on us, rather than the restaurant, but if you're going yourself, you know what to expect. Very good, it deserves its 5 stars from us, and we will come back for sure.

Another over rated place to dine in a town trying to be something it will never be. Saturday night here is an avoid at all costs if you want a quiet meal. It’s loud to the point you can’t have a conversation without shouting. The service was ok and our waitress was good, being on a table of four at the top of the stairs was probably the better table after passing the local rabble downstairs. The food was average at best, very bland and under seasoned, the steak was cooked well but a few slices of sirloin steak at that price is outrageous. I could go on but it’s easier to say if you want tapas there’s a far better restaurant not two minutes away.

Very good food! As, it’s tapas and small portions can understand still good but slightly over priced but the dessert was good nonetheless!🍮🫐🍰 Thank you! Just an observation don’t mean to complain!

Always great food and service, different to anywhere else locally. Genuinely excellent 👌

Cool vibe and a decent sharing tapas platter. More Spanish than Italian really, for instance the menu says friggitelli but the resulting pimientos de padrón are excellent and authentically Spanish in style. Tortilla and boquerónes follow suit and are equally appetising. The sweets are more Italian, the canolo was especially good, as is the coffee. Staff are friendly and give you space and the place is airy and unthreatening. Prices felt about right and there's no rush to leave though my experience was during the day. Well worth a punt, I'll be going again.

Just called in for some food, good atmoshere, food being served was really nice. A popular spot in Rawtenstall , bigger than most of the other venues and some might say a little upmarket. Staff were friendly and food was served on time. will return soon.

Outstanding food and a really lively atmosphere with excellent staff. Really enjoyed the experience, thank you. Cracking place.

First time, wanted to visit for ages. Greetings very good, no fuss to the table. Drinks ordered (thanks for the large prosecco). Italian tapas style so for four we had 11 dishes, they come out when they are ready. All dishes really tasty, well seasoned and a good variety. Service excellent, thanks to the team

Great selection of Mediterranean tapas, all delicious. Good selection of wines and spirits.

Can't get enough of this place, the food is absolutely awesome and is teamed with friendly, professional staff. We've visited Avucciria many times and this was our 1st lockdown visit. We felt super safe and relaxed, the food and service remains exceptional whilst being on top with social distancing & track/trace. I'd recommend the lamb skewers, the breaded parmesan chicken & the polpetti meatballs, plus the green beans with pine nuts... I could go on and on and on :-D It was also good to see the support of a local brewery with specials on the drinks menu from Northern Whisper, of which went down a treat with my other half :-) We won't hesitate to return soon and will continue to recommend Avucciria 100%.

What an absolutely wonderful evening. We booked the table online which was easy with the added option to inform the restaurant of any intolerances. As we arrived the atmosphere could be felt straight away, a lovely vibe filled with people enjoying a drink and food. The service was seamless, staff were attentive, caring, friendly and warming. We didn't need to ask for another drink as the waitress was aware of every step of our dining experience. A truly lovely night, thank you very much guys. After working in the hospitality industry myself I can fully appreciate the service and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates quality food (the beef was exquisite)

The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The food was excellently prepared and tasted really good. Not exactly cheap, but worth a visit for a treat.

First visit to A'Vucciria wont be my last. Food was amazing and the service impeccable.

Party of 10 on NYE... Amazing service, food and atmosphere. Loved it...especially the prawns, fennel sausage and the lamb meatballs. The antipasto starter was also delicious We will be back!! 10 out of 10.

This place is a different level. A complete cut above the usual. Brilliant food, friendly service. Can’t wait to come back. ✅👍

Been going to this place since it opened, the team are always fantastic and can’t do enough for you…the food is what I would call excellent and constantly stays at this level, NEVER does the standard fall below this level, Rawtenstall is such a great place to live and to have this place on my doorstep is brilliant!!!
