We got three pizzas and all three had delicious and unique flavor combinations. I ended with the pavlova which is honestly one of the best pavlova's I've ever had.

I would've expected something like this at a reservation-only restaurant in London. The special pizza (caramelised onions and chorizo with mascarpone and chilli) was amazing. We sat at the bar and watched the food being prepared and served, and everyone was super professional and each plate was inspected by the chef before it was seen fit to be sent out. This place was fully booked on Saturday night (18:45) so I would recommend making reservations.

Finding space for a family of 8 in the lakes wasn't as easy as we thought, but luckily Cafe Italia…read morewas able to accommodate us. While the downstairs appears to be a quick cafe area, upstairs has more of a restaurant feel to it. It even has its own bar on this level. The bathrooms and kitchen are on the 3rd level. First impressions were that it seemed a little bit more upscale than most other places in the area, and I have a feeling that on a Friday/Saturday night this will be a date night hotspot. The staff have matching uniforms and all had accents. It gave it a real nice touch. There is a full service bar, however due to the fine English cold weather, I just stuck with a cup of tea, so I can't comment on the alcohol quality. Our group jumped straight into mail meals, in which the menu is literally a book. They could probably do with trimming it by 50% and still would have a nice variety). Anyways, while trying to remember what everyone had ordered, the 3 items that stuck with me were: pizza - authentic, fresh, flavorful and quite large. Buffalo chicken wrap - nice portion size, Amazing taste. Mackerel - I have to be honest, I've never tried it before so I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like, however, it was very very good to me! We had many other dishes at our table and everyone left happy. Once again, the portion sizes were more than enough. So you won't leave hungry! For the meals listed above, you're looking in the 8 -12 pound range for prices. If I was to go back to this area, I would most definitely return for the chicken wrap. It was fantastic!

In fact, they are so busy getting people through the doors, it can be hard to get a server's attention once you are at your table. When I was finally able to stop one of them to order my lunch, I had a Mediterranean salad, which was fine. The coffee is good. Also, they are cash only so be prepared.

Downside (being picky but I think is important to say), the wine list by the glass was limited, as was the cocktail menu. The menu was also limited for lunch and many items were duplicated, (especially the starters), for the dinner menu. However... you should not hesitate to try this place. As some would say, "what they do, they know what they do and do very well" and prices were also reasonable, especially when considering the quality and the location! Make a reservation if in high season.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend trying the Lake Slager lager beer. It is a locally brewed beer and was fantastic! Easy to drink several :) The only negative aspect of the meal was true size of my scallops. By American standards they were small but I don't know how they would compare to UK standards. I would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone staying in Windermere.

AVOID THIS PLACE! If you want your reservation mysteriously…read moredisappeared, or if you enjoy dressing up for dinner only to be turned away at the door -- this is the restaurant for you. We called at 8:30 PM to ask if there were any available tables for the night. The guy on the phone clearly confirmed two options: 9:30 PM and 9:45 PM. I even asked if 9:30 was the earliest available, and he confirmed it was. I then confirmed the 9:30 PM reservation, to which he replied, "See you later at the restaurant." When we arrived -- 15 minutes early, by the way -- and told the host about our reservation, he looked completely shocked. He denied ever receiving a reservation call. I showed him my call log (see attached screenshot), which clearly shows we called the correct number. He admitted he was the only man working the phones and that it was indeed the right number -- but still insisted no reservation had been made. Even though the restaurant had empty tables, he refused to seat us, was incredibly rude, and paid us no attention while continuing to serve others. No apology at all. No effort to resolve anything. Just left us standing there. Absolutely absurd and laughable experience. Never again.
