I cannot believe that this little gem of a restaurant hasn't been recommended by anyone yet in this thread:-
http://www.lalocanda.co.uk/
It's just as you are leaving Gisburn on the A59 on the right of the mini roundabout.
I have been twice now and both times I have come away very impressed, it walks all over Checcos, I think Nick hasn't been on the ball there for a good few years since Marco etc left the kitchens, the food not being either great or outstanding, average at best (sorry Nick)...
Lalocanda's uses all locally sourced produce and the Italian ingredients are sourced from their native areas, the difference is apparent in the quality of the food served, I have never had such full flavoured vegetables etc, the service is of a high standard and the wine list is varied both in selection and prices and you can walk into the area where the wines are stored to look at them prior to selection, the restaurant itself is small but not uncomfortably so, having two levels.
Oh and don't expect any pizzas or garlic breads on the menu as it is purely authentic traditional Italian fare.
p.s. Theno (and others) the Clakky (as us Harwooders call it) did have the eating area shut for a while so it was no go on sitting in and Taxing Dave (aka Memoryman) on doing a massive order.
