"I recently visited here during a weekend break in Kirkby Lonsdale and I was left extremely disappointed. I tried to book a table for around 8.30 9.00 but was told I could only have a table at 8.00. When I arrived I was asked to sit in the bar until my table was ready which was fairly quick as I was 5/10 mins early. I found the menu to be slightly disappointing and not very Italian inspired despite the name. My order was taken and my starter didn't arrive until around 8.45 which annoyed me slightly as I wanted to book a table later and wasn't able to. (By now the restaurant was almost empty). The garlic bread was lovely but the garlic mushrooms was smothered in pesto ??? The main courses were a complete disappointment once again the chicken pasta was smothered in pesto, probably to hide the fact that it was tasteless and only two pieces of chicken in the whole dish. The carbonara was all curdled. Rather than a smooth sauce it was all lumpy and separated. No black pepper or Parmesan offered. The portion sizes were decent and the fries were lovely. When letting the staff know how disappointed I was with the meal I didn't receive so much as an apology and they quickly asked us for the money and we left. I would definitely not visit here again. Apart from the appalling food I found that I wasn't treated how all the other customers in the restaurant were. This was my wedding anniversary treat and it was far from it!!!"

"we came and sat fast and ordered drinks immediately, which almost immediately arrived so well we ordered starter and net. whitebait and a mini-toad in the hole to begin and two children roast beef, extra yorkshire to go with the pig. a torte that we asked with new kartoffels instead of chips and an adult porn that I asked for bark and pigs and said I would like to pay extra for if necessary. then it went downhill. minutes after ordering our food, and after the appetizers were deleted, a waitress came to us and said: "I'm sorry we don't have bark" we were happy with it. not because they had run out, but because of the time she needed to recognize. they apologized. we said okay and waited. we waited a few more minutes for the most important courses. we have all starved and a little frustrated. the net arrived. chips on the plate not new kartoffels! the frying of the child, now both pigs were half fat and half a carrilled pork steak. not the roasted pork on the menu. no Yorkshire pudding in itself and the veg. bland boiled carrots, boiled black gray cabbage and what I can only describe as baby food flower casse. it was mush! my children said to me. “Daddy, that’s not great,” I couldn’t even contradict them. I couldn't stop mine because it was so bad and I never let it eat! the cake was good, but the veg was cooked again and darkened and the wrong potato peel. Once finished, no one seemed to come and clear plates, acknowledge us or treat us at all. I went into the bar and asked me to talk to a manager. I explained everything, she apologized and gave me the bill. roasts were taken off, but nothing else. I didn't think that was good enough, but it was late and wanted to go home. for appetizers, drinks inedible meals. very upset to say the"
