The small team of friendly staff were vibrant and enthusiastic, and couldn't do enough to help.They had a great product knowledge (one of our party being coeliac) and were only too happy to prepare special meals for us. Gluten free pasta with chilli king prawn was exceptional and the veal was certainly one of the best meals out I've had-tender, flavoursome and served with fantastic little potatoes. The young lady (Laura I think) gave us a very warm welcome and continued to wait on us hand and foot with great humour, despite the restaurant being nearly full! Even the chef came out to serve meals and chat to a few tables with her, a very nice touch we felt. We have rebooked for next week, with friends, and can't wait to sample more of the delicious menu. A very well done to the team.

There were five of us and we chose a variety of dishes,I had red mullet, ratatouille and green (pesto?) mashed potato, whereas my son had pizza. Mine was absolutely delicious. So was the cappucino brulee that I shared with my wife. Everybody else was very pleased with their choices too. Quite a small premises with straightforward decor and ambience, but clean and well run. Definitely worth a visit. I believe you pay a premium for eating in Ambleside but we spent slightly over £20 per head and I think that this was most reasonable overall. I hope that you enjoy it too.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and there is always a relaxing ambience, which makes a great intimate dinner, either with your partner or with a family. At first when you enter the restaurant you are seated in a little section designated for pre-drinks and nibbles before being taken through to the main restaurant for dinner, where the food is served not long after being sat down. This is great as means can have relaxing chat before being sat down for dinner. The menu is in Italian, with English underneath, with a large focus on beef, chicken and seafood. This restaurant is suited to kids as the chefs will make anything plain if you ask for it. Furthermore, this restaurant has a dessert trolley with all homemade fresh Italian puddings and you can choose there and then which one takes your fancy. I would highly recommend this place for a truly special dinner.
