Prawns followed by veal for me, with chips! Nice chips, with firm crispy skin and great taste.<br /><br />La Locanda has just won another award for its food. <br /><br />http://www.papa.org.uk/awards/2013/winners.shtml<br /><br />As for Gill Watson, she seems to rate her own books highly, perhaps the same goes for her taste in food.Veni Vidi Vicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444234905441573466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2114123837798786386.post-60823652050269700742013-05-28T11:23:30.755+01:002013-05-28T11:23:30.755+01:00I don't understand your review; it sticks out ...I don't understand your review; it sticks out like a sore thumb when you consider all of the more than positive comments on their facebook and twitter; i've just seen that even Carl Fogarty has tweeted about them https://twitter.com/carlfogarty/statuses/269914548302139392 "Got to say if you get the chance ..la locanda in gisburn the food is Fkin awesome.!!! #italian best I've had in the uk.! #justsayin " erm....maybe you were the one having an off day...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2114123837798786386.post-35236438008906213012012-09-28T22:38:56.477+01:002012-09-28T22:38:56.477+01:00I am delighted that you enjoyed your meal.

You only talk about the pasta so I presume you did not eat either the lamb or the pork which we were particularly disappointed with.<br /><br />The pasta we ate was not al dente but hard and dried on the top either as a result of either being left uncovered in the cold room or on the pass for too long under hot lights.<br /><br />Why there were chips on the menu of this authentic Italian I do not know but my 7yr old requested them to accompany his fritto misto and green beans. He didn't eat them.<br /><br />I wish La Locanda a long and successful future and will return when I'm assured that it has improved.Gill Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914870538399933701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2114123837798786386.post-14148972576769165542012-09-27T22:22:01.293+01:002012-09-27T22:22:01.293+01:00I have eaten at La Locanda and I have nothing but ...I have eaten at La Locanda and I have nothing but praise for this eating establishment. When I visited last week with my husband for our 25th Anniversary we enjoyed the food, the pasta was cooked al dente, as you would expect from an Authentic Italian Restaurant (generally when I go to an Italian Restaurant I don't eat chips, just sayin').<br />The service and ambiance made our anniversary unforgettable for all the right reasons. I would recommend La Locanda to all my family and friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2114123837798786386.post-66724607268469356732012-09-26T18:30:00.373+01:002012-09-26T18:30:00.373+01:00Fabulous!
