"We’re definitely heading back tomorrow! My friend and I were craving Italian food and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. Our cravings were more than satisfied. We started with a sensational garlic pizza bread, which was simply fantastic. For the main course, my friend had a delicious creamy salmon dish, while I indulged in a mouthwatering pasta with Italian sausage and salami. To top it off, we enjoyed one of the best desserts I've ever had—the screamberry cheesecake. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and superb, enhanced by the exceptionally friendly and efficient service. We still have a few days left in the Lake District, and we've already booked a table for another visit!"

Loved our food and experience here. My spiced garlic and tomato pasta was divine. Enjoyed a truly beautiful bottle of red with my husband too. The kids (x3 2, 4 and 12) were really looked after by our waiter and kindly split pizza and portions for us. A lovely experience and when next in the Lakes will be a stop for us!

We walked in on a busy evening after an issue with a booking elsewhere and were lucky to get a table. The staff were really friendly -especially when we left late and they were enjoying a well deserved evening meal together. The food was stunning, not your basic Italian by a long shot! We will certainly be returning next time we are in the area! Also the best pudding ever recommend by the lovely lady that served us xx View menu

Took a chance a chance of not booking and it paid off. We arrived after 8 and got seated immediately. It was busy but the charm and atmosphere weren’t lost. Food was served quickly and tasted delicious. The restaurant has a traditional family atmosphere and we were made to feel welcome. It’s worth making sure you have room for the tiramisu or sticky toffee pudding, both home made and amazing…. I’d go as far as saying the sticky toffee pudding was better than any other rival I have tasted, it was very light and tasted great

The garlic bread and grilled vegetable starters were quite good. The aglio e olio could have used a bit more salt, but it had a lovely aroma of chili and garlic. The spaghetti marinara with seafood was divine. The clams had a bit of grit—about 1 in 15—but it was much better than my experience the night before. The service was a bit lacking for us Italians, but the owner was incredibly patient and entertaining for the kids at our table. Kudos to him! Overall, I really enjoyed the appetizers and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in the Lake District.
