"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."

The food was amazing! This is a family run restaurant by 3 Italian brothers and their wife’s. The food was by far the best Italian we have tried in the UK and you could feel the passion throughout. Would definitely recommend! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50

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
