La Locanda Of Gisburn

A multi award-winning Restaurant, serving authentic Italian cuisine and using the highest quality local and Italian produce!

La Locanda is a great place to enjoy nice food with friends and family or for business meetings. .

La Locanda is a family run traditional Italian restaurant opened on December 2003 with the aim to give to the customers a real taste of traditional Italian cuisine.

We are pleased to explain any of our dishes, also give a reason for the use of some ingredient and explain how big difference could make one ingredient respect to another one even on the same dish.

In our restaurant it is very important the freshness and the origin of the ingredients. We offer to diners the ideal marriage between the highest quality Italian producers and the best of local suppliers, to create authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Ribble Valley. I'm clearly passionate about food and I have passed this enthusiasm to the staff, and also to our customers. Local products and suppliers are actively promoted, along with the origins of the quality Italian produces used. The ingredients, preparation and style of each dish served has been passed down through generations, and we hope our commitment, devotion and passion for excellence is apparent through out the flavours and taste of each dish.

We are producing home made breads, pastas, cakes, biscuits and chocolates (95% of our pastas sold are homemade).

We are working with seasonal products in our specials.

We organised Italian tours for our customers accompanied by me, the aim of the tour is to visit some of our suppliers, taste different products and wines, see how the products are made and off course a bit of” dolce vita”.

We do private cooking lesson at customers home, and we do cooking lesson for children and adults at the restaurant.

Also part of the team of the restaurant do private function at the customers home, by cooking and serving them in their home.

We also do theme night and wine testing evening.

Our restaurant gives a flavour of the culture, heritage, tradition and hospitality of the place we are so proud to call our home.
