  “Walking into this restaurant felt like coming home. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and relaxed, and the staff made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. The pasta was absolutely incredible—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every bite tasted authentic and comforting, like a true homemade Italian meal. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why simple, quality ingredients make all the difference. If you’re looking for genuine Italian food and a cozy, home-like experience, I can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “My wife and I arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by an older gentleman at the door. My wife wears a hijab. Before we even had a chance to properly ask for a table, he told us, "We're done, we can't take any more." As we walked away, I waited outside and watched two British couples who had been reading the menu outside approach the entrance. They had no reservations, yet they were immediately offered tables. I went back and questioned why we had been turned away while they were seated. I told him I would be leaving a very negative review, and his response was simply, "It's OK." I can't say for certain why we were refused, but the sequence of events made us feel singled out and unwelcome. Whether it was discrimination or not, that's exactly how the experience felt to us. We left feeling humiliated and would never return. I hope the management reviews how guests are treated because no one should leave a restaurant feeling this way.”

  “Great food, warm atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Our waitress really went above and beyond. They even made us a whole new pasta dish to take home when there was a mix up with our leftovers. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.”

  “Came in for a quick meal. Service was very good. The food was nice but could have been tastier. Worth a visit though. Would score it 3.5 if we were allowed to score half points.”

  “Came here after reading reviews and I was not disappointed! I had booked ahead and was when I arrived I was warmly greated and seated immediately. Food was incredibly tasty and eaten entirely! I had the goats cheese salad, pollo marengo and the chef recommended desert. Vanilla sponge, cherry compte and vanilla ice cream. The house rosé helped it all go down!”

  “A Hidden Gem in the Lake District , A Must Visit Italian Delight Tucked away on a charming one way street, this Italian restaurant might be a little tricky to find, especially with car access restricted unless you’re a disabled badge holder but trust me, it’s worth the effort. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is absolutely captivating: warm, welcoming, and authentically Italian. It’s a spot that feels both special and relaxed, the kind of place where conversations linger over empty plates and glasses of wine. The staff are fantastically attentive, cheerful, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s refreshing to see young talent thriving in the hospitality industry, and their energy adds to the overall experience. A word to the wise: skip the beers and lagers. This place shines when it comes to its wine selection, which perfectly complements the food and enhances the overall dining experience. If you’re visiting the Lake District, make this restaurant a priority. Excellent food, a beautiful atmosphere, and standout service make it a true highlight of the region.”

  “Had a great dinner here. Typical classic Italian restaurant with all the usual dishes and some interesting specials. Chicken liver starter was excellent, as were all three pasta dishes we chose. Wine list is extensive if a little expensive. Good range of beers. Part of the place is up a set of stairs on the first floor. Something to be aware of if you find stairs an issue. Would recommend reserving a table as it was very busy when we were there. Despite this service was quick and friendly. for what we had it was also good value.”
