Alongside the stunningly beautiful views and landscapes the Ribble Valley has to offer, the fabulous food and drink must be another major reason why so many visit and settle in the area, and the numerous accolades and awards bestowed upon Gisburn’s renowned Italian restaurant, La Locanda, in recent years has certainly added weight to this popular assumption.
Proudly owned and managed by husband and wife, Maurizio and Cinzia Bocchi, and assisted by their almost all Italian team, they passionately deliver a true taste of Italy right here in rural Lancashire. Avid proponents of the Slow Food movement and its ethos of Good, Clean and Fair food, they combine a love for using the finest produce and ingredients Italy is justifiably famous for, alongside some of the best that Lancashire has to offer. Chef Maurizio creates menus that shout a genuine dedication to quality, provenance and authenticity!
Authenticity and a true representation of Italian food culture is paramount at La Locanda, and the award of the influential ‘Marchio Ospitalita Italiano’ certificate, annually since 2009, is surely a worthy testament to this. An initiative which aims to certificate only the best Italian restaurants around the world, in England, La Locanda is currently one of only 12 other Italian restaurant outside of London to have received this accolade.
