Casa Bella in Allerdale

We had a fantastic meal here for the last night of our stay in Keswick. Service was friendly and attentive and the ambience great. We shared a camembert starter which was excellent. My main was lasagne while my partner had a four cheese pizza which he loved. We shared chips and onion rings and finished with ice cream, which is a restaurant speciality. An excellent experience which we will be repeating in May when we return.

We visited last week as a group of five. The restaurant seems to have three main areas. The entrance leads through an ice cream parlour, which can get a bit crowded when it’s busy, especially as people come and go. However, the food was fresh and delicious.

Absolutely wonderful experience tonight. We came as a family of seven and needed room for a wheelchair for my nephew. The staff were fabulous and we were seated somewhere quiet with room to store the chair. The food was absolutely SUPERB! My Brother is still talking about his lamb dish! Everyone had something different and we were all absolutely delighted. We really nearly booked again for tomorrow night! Thanks for looking after us Casa Bella!

Called in without a reservation on Sunday night and managed to get a table. I had stuffed peppers, Mr had a chicken pasta. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. We even managed a Baileys cheesecake to follow. Very nice bottle of Rioja. The team really looked after us, very friendly and efficient. Lovely ambiance. Great value. We will definitely be back soon.

This is a popular restaurant that does serve good quality food. Issue is that it feels overpriced and the service can be very hit and miss. Had the special which was Pork and beef bonbons with spaghetti tonight. Food was excellent quality, as were the rest of my family's meals. If it's busy the waiters are run off their feet and then little things slip as they seem to all be serving all tables at once - no dedicated server for your table. If in Keswick during school holiday weeks then, like many other restaurants, you'll need to book weeks in advance to get a table when you want it.

Excellent service and great food.

Staff was extremely friendly and service was quick that’s quite unusual for Italian restaurants in my experience but the food was average. Tiramisu was the worst as if bought in a shop, carbonara and lasagna were average

Great food and friendly staff, highly recommend!

Visited due to it appearing well rated. Service staff lovely. Manager, rude. Food salty and not good quality and priced too high for the quality. We won’t be back and an expensive lesson learned.

Ate dinner there tonight, and the food was exquisite! Delicious, with enormous portions. I’m looking forward to having my leftovers for lunch tomorrow! The service, however, was very poor. A friendly person welcomed and seated us, but then our server seemed to expect us to order before we had time to study the menu. Entrees came at the same tome as salads. I would have liked to have had water with my meal, but no one came by to ask, nor did anyone check on us or ask how we enjoyed our meals. When it came time to pay our bill, again there was no one to ask, and we had to go up to the bar to pay. But the food was truly excellent, so kudos to the chef. Maybe I.’m critical of the service because we have just come from 5days in Scotland, where virtually everyone was welcoming, friendly, and wonderful. Meeting new people is tome one of the greatest part of travel.

Lovely Italian restaurant in Market Square of Keswick. Very popular with locals. Excellent service. Food equally good. Atmosphere buzzing. Recommend eating here.

The quality of food was lovely The staff was very friendly The menu was small, so there was not a lot of choice. So because of this, I expected the food to be spot on.

Amazing food, brilliant atmosphere. Great staff without being intrusive. Will definitely be back next time we're in Keswick

Absolutely superb stop off meal. Was seated quickly in the busy restraunt and was greeted with open arms. Service was quick and with a smile and was taken through the different options of the menu and even offered the chefs speciality dish. The pizzas are to die for; thin, crispy Italian style with a Sundae for desert. 10/10.

We had a delicious vegetarian Italian meal here in September 2024. Lovely pasta with mushrooms, great vegan chili and a nice appetizer platter. Topped off by a tasty selection of sorbets. Surprisingly busy for a Thursday- consider making reservations.

They wouldn't let us push two tables of four together for our party of eight pensioners.

I've been walking past this restaurant for over 10 years and each time it is packed with diners. After dining the other evening I now wonder why. Adequate but nothing special. BBQ pizza similar to that at Wetherspoons although at twice the cost

Delicious food and generous portion sizes. Just what’s needed after a long day of walking! Staff were really friendly and I didn’t feel rushed even though I was on my own. I managed to get in without a booking and food came quickly even though they were very busy. I had pinot Grigio, chicken liver parfait, risotto del mare and mixed sorbets. All of which were lovely. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food and very attentive staff. Will go again

Just had a delicious meal here with great service

Lovely meal & wine. Highly recommend 👌

Excellent food, service and value the two times we have visited.

Very helpful staff who managed to squeeze my partner and I in during a busy night when we hadn't a booking. Good rustica pizza and seafood pasta with tiramisu to follow.

All staff very nice - food is good, especially dessert. They can cater for GF, vegan and veggie as well as allergies very well.

Amazing food and great service. We went for a three course dinner. So delicious and well presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful, on what seemed to be a busy week night we were able to get a table straight away without reservation, though we did visit out of peak season. I had the Tuscan Pork which was amazing and I can highly recommend it.

I've lost count of the number of times we've dined out at Casa Bella. Every visit has been a delight, and this time was no exception. I tried the vegetarian chilli, absolutely delicious, and beautifully presented. My husband has the chicken pasta which was equally good. I couldn't resist a trio of gelati for dessert, the hazelnut is my favourite ice cream on the planet. A perfect start to our evening in Keswick, thank you Casa Bella 😊

We found this place in the app ‘find me gluten free’. We booked the day before and got a 6:30pm table slot. The restaurant was busy when we arrived and thankfully on this occasion you managed to seat us even though we were a bit early. I led with the fact I was Coeliac and was informed your wife was too - music to my ears! It meant I did not have to explain a thing and felt quite safe. I had the GF bruschetta for starters - I haven’t had that since pre diagnosis so that was a real treat for me. It was delicious. OH enjoyed his prawn starter too! We both had pizzas, pepperoni and then the GF Rustica. Honestly I think it is the nicest pizza I have had since diagnosis. The staff were lovely and friendly and attentive. The place was busy and the service was prompt and hassle free. The food was absolutely delicious and we will most definitely be back. Thank you so much for the lovely food and the feeling of being safe as a coelaic.

Excellent restaurant with delicious food and wonderful staff. Good menu selection of food and wine. Good value also. Recommend booking before you go.

Very friendly staff, delicious food.

Really lovely food, bit pricey but came quickly. And service was excellent, super friendly staff. We did have to be sat outside of the main section of the restaurant, which initially wasn't an issue, but unfortunately there was a very strong breeze coming in from a door open in the bar area at the back! But overall lovely food and nice atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff

Excellent service. Very good food. Average price. Appreciative staff when we added a tip. Highly recommend. Wish they were in our town.

Italian food that we enjoyed: the first time there we had a shared board as a starter, then pasta and a lasagna. The second time we had individual starters then pizzas. Both meals were good and the house red went down really well with the food. Good atmosphere very busy, we booked online the first time, then turned up early and were able to get a table the second time. Always worth asking at the door, to see if there is a table, even if there if it looks very busy.

We ordered the vegetable arrabiata and venison. However, the pasta was overcooked that it fell apart in the bowl and the venison was overcooked too so had the consistency of rubber. I had to send the venison back as it was inedible and swapped it for the lamb, which was softer. However, the cook forgot the vegetables in the new dish, but I did not mention it. The potatoes were good though and the cook was nice to add more flavour to them as requested. Perhaps more practice with perfecting these details could enhance the execution of the dishes. The flavours and presentation of the dishes were very rich, however - it's the texture that needs work. The service was excellent and the waitresses were very attentive, friendly, and accommodating.

We’d had a hell of a day and just wanted somewhere to eat, and we were so glad we picked this place. The food was like heaven and we both thoroughly enjoyed it - still haven’t stopped thinking about it. We were struggling to decide what we wanted from the menu and the staff were kind, patient, and suggested some things off the menu. The lamb and sea bass is what we went for and both were delicious and beautifully cooked. Incredible flavours in both. Best potatoes either of us have had in a long time! And the veggies were cooked to perfection. Then for dessert we had the cheesecake of the day (raspberry and white chocolate) and gelato. Again, phenomenal taste - so creamy and delicious, beautifully presented! Can’t wait to eat here again one day (hopefully soon). Found a true gem in Keswick with this place!

We always make sure we have at least one evening here when we visit Keswick for the excellent food and service. Make sure you book a table though. We booked a week in advance.

I went with my partner for dinner. The food was average at best to be honest and over priced for what it was. I had chicken stuffed with goats cheese which I was assured was mild but tasted very strong. My partner said his pasta was bland. The tiramsu dessert was nicer but what spoilt it was the off hand and unfriendly manner of the waiter who took our dessert order. Overall we won't be returning as we didn't enjoy it which is a shame as it looks a nice restaurant and we previously had a nice meal there.

Absolutely outstanding 🫶. Fantastic food, great service!👍. We were only in Keswick for 2 nights, but we ate there both evenings because it was simply amazingly delicious 😋. We ate our way through the menu and everything was absolutely excellent 🤤.

Restaurant looked busy, and we were craving pasta. Ended up getting the arabiatta as it was one of the few veggie options. Full of olives and tasted like school dinner to be honest. Not worth it. Sweet potato fries and mayonnaise was really good though. Regret not getting the pizza.

Amazing gluten free options. A range of pasta and pizza that can all be gluten free. I got pizza and it was so nice, not your typical gluten free pizza! Lots of options for dessert too, great gelato. Service was friendly and very accommodating for gluten free people.

Fantastic. Excellent food, superb service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Food was very bland cheese on sharing board was taste less same with the pizza also the chicken was very tough in the carbonara

We simply enquired about a table, the man at the front was very rude to my mother who is a very polite person. We were made to feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable.

Good food, courteous and friendly staff and a nice surroundings.

Lovely authentic Italian food and amazing desserts. My gelato Sundae was amazing. The staff and the atmosphere, so warm and welcoming. I loved every minute here and the music playlist kept us smiling while we enjoyed our food. Card is accepted and there is on-street parking available outside the restaurant. I will certainly visit again on my next trip to the Lakes.

Disappointing. Meal with family. Rushed for order (which I wouldn't have been bothered about if we were made to feel welcome, or anyone had made an effort to be friendly), waiting staff gave brusque service throughout, we were then ignored when trying to pay. Left feeling unwelcome. Pizza was good.

This is a very popular restaurant and you can see why. Delicious food and friendly and attentive staff who clearly know their customers. We had booked for 8.15 but asked if they could possibly fit us in earlier as we had arrived in Keswick earlier than intended. They did so and gave us a lovely round table in the window. It’s not huge so you definitely need to book. We’ll be back later in the week for some of their yummy ice cream.

We had a lovely evening, the food was delicious and the staff were all amazing. We will definitely visit again if in Keswick

We went on a Saturday early evening cos it was the only suitable time for us left to book on. It is very popular and for good reason. We had a lovely greeting by all staff that spoke to us. They were not pushy for more orders, which sometimes happens. There were four of us and we all had a starter and main. The other couple asked for a x2 scoop ice cream with x2 spoons to share. We asked for a x2 scoop sundae with x2 spoons. We were a bit stung with that order cos we’re given a double portion to share. And were charged for it. If we wanted a sundae each, we would have ordered it and not one bit bowl to share! That is my only complaint, so beware with the dessert order. I had seen a previous review commenting on how good the salmon carbonara was, so I ordered that, my hubby ordered the polo carbonara. My salmon dish was AMAZING. And the polo dish was also gorgeous with big chunks of chicken. They certainly didn’t skimp on the ingredients. I would definitely go back next time we are I. Keswick

Absolutely delicious meal! Can not fault it, the Sea Bass was stunning! One of two of the best meals in the UK during our 4 week trip.

We booked here for six of us when visiting the area. Easy to book. The staff were very helpful and food and drink came quickly. It was a Saturday night and busy but, the staff were great. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and drink. The menu isn't too big but easy to find a dish for most. I had Hot pizza and it was very good.

Excellent food, great service.

Me and the wife had dinner here on Monday. Even at 6.45 the place was filling up quickly, and we now know why. From the greeting to the departure everything was exceptional. The garlic chilli prawn and the bruschetta starters were incredibly tasty. They did one of my favourite pizzas, but I dared to opt for the minced pork and prosciutto spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes and a creamy fennel-y sauce which was honestly probably the best pasta dish I've had (in memory at least). My wife had a chicken carbonara (they can also do most of their menu gluten free, which is a huge thumbs up), which she absolutely loved! We weren't planning on having desserts but I opted for tiramisu and my wife chose the homemade sticky toffee pudding (again, made gluten free), both were sublime. At 3 courses and a glass of wine each our bill was £80 which was more than reasonable, given the quality of everything. I highly recommend this place and would like to extend a personal thanks to the foh and boh, both of which made our experience one to remember. If we're ever back in the area we'll definitely be coming back here!

Love to stop here for ice creams.

Excellent salad with the chilli beans

We hadn't booked but Manager Virag managed to fit us in. We both had goats cheese stuffed chicken and red berry pavlova, both were good quality and presentation. Bottle of wine. We hope to return before we go home, lovely friendly staff, well worth a visit, much better than pub grub!.

Good food but queue or book in advance

Phoned for a takeaway on Saturday, only to be told they weren't accepting them, despite what the website says. Tried again a few days later, phoned 5 times and noone picked up the phone. Poor service.

Message to the owners: We tried to get a table to celebrate my birthday, and we received a terrible welcome. The grey hair gentleman was super unfriendly, not even simple Hello was said to us. We understand that it would be better if we had a reservation in advance, but there was no need for an attitude towards us. Total lack of customer service from this gentleman. This person should never work at the front desk. We just thought you should know.

Group of 3. We all had lovely food. Service was great. No issues at all.

Alway eat here when we visit Keswick, did not dissapoint, great food, great staff and good value.

Beautiful food, we had starters and mains for two and a couple of drinks. Service was quick but not rushed. Definitely book it was busy. We will visit again when next in Keswick.

Loved everything about this place. Food was amazing and good value for money. The coffee was phenomenal, easily the best I've ever had

The pizzas have a base that is not fresh. Investments are fine, but it is also about the soil. Atmosphere is fast and businesslike.

Amazing Gelato highly recommend ❤️🍨😋

Great service with attentive staff and great food. Will definitely come again when next in the area.

Very busy on arrival with a wide mix of diners , plenty of which were still in walking gear. Food was tasty and friendly service . Had the Prawns and Chicken Carborana. Keswick Thirst Quencher ( IPA) went down well. Pre booked table which wasnt the best, but given it was packed there was no other choice.

Called in for lunch. Staff were very friendly with a great sense of humour. The Seafood Linguine and Tiramisu are highly recommended. Will definitely be returning.

Casa Bella has spoiled me for other pizzas. It was the real thing, made with skill and pride. I had the buffalo mozzarella veggie pizza and, damn, it was good. The pesto was home made, there was nothing UPF nor processed. I also had a good salad bowl. I wish I was nearer, I would go regularly. The staff were highly attentive and took great pride in their food. It was a real treat but I miss it!

Great food , great service ! A place I highly recommend .

Great pizza, friendly staff and a great selection of excellent, home made ice cream. It's just a really nice place.

Easily the best restaurant for gluten free food that we've found.

Dropped in to order a takeaway on a busy Easter Sunday having enquired about availability earlier. The staff were extremely friendly confirmed with the kitchen how long it would take (fifteen minutes) and we grabbed a quick drink in the bar whilst we waited. Timing was spot on and the pizza and pasta was fantastic!

Excellent food, Prawn starter wow, sea bass main delicious. Truly gorgeous quality food.

I went here not to long ago with my family. The service and atmosphere was great. However, my family and I had a poor experience with the food. I ordered the lightly dusted calamari and they were very dry and dusted when I got them. Also, the pasta I had was drenched in oil. However, other members of my family had better experiences than I did

Had a late lunch here - food was delicious and good value, attentive and friendly service! Would recommend

Great meal, nice and relaxing, came out stuffed

The restuarant was fairly busy and tables quite close together but the food and service were excellent.

Dined at this little Gem. Stumbled on it by mistake, relaxing music, polite staff. The Polo Carbonera is amazing, the sauce is creamy, the pasta is cooked to perfection, the Chicken and Bacon was great. Fresh food at its best. Added to our return list.

Fantastic food an very friendly helpful staff, good prices would highly recommend 👍

Take away pizza and garlic bread. Very tasty. Prompt friendly service

My steak was tough and tomatoes were cooked for maybe a couple seconds, not roasted. It was a disappointment.

Nice place, friendly staff, some lovely food notably starter and desert, plus v nice primitivo. Only demerit was the ok but not phenomenal pizza, which is a shame for an Italian restaurant. Chef should go to Fuocos and try a real Italian Margherita.

Food not bad just expensive for what it is :) If you can get in go square orange for pizza

They try and squeeze everyone in one small space which means you get no room or privacy. We never received our starter we ordered and my main wasn’t that great. Nice place but feels like you are being rushed to finish to get next people in even though you have time as advised when booking.

Excellent food and service, great atmosphere. Friendly staff. We had the short rib beef and the salmon carbonara and we swapped halfway through. Both dishes were very tasty but the salmon carbonara just edged it because it was so light. We did start with a tomato garlic bread which was very light and crisp but for us, just needed to have a bit more sauce. We were tempted by desserts and we had Tiramisu and a salted caramel ice cream. Again, both very tasty. In summary, a really nice meal, in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff. We both said we would come back again.

Fantastic experience! It came highly recommended by many. Everything we had was delicious. Get the garlic mayo and put it on EVERYTHING! Very kind, helpful and efficient staff! We will definitely return.

Edit - we returned a year later and the team were so welcoming, the restaurant so clean and the menu SO GOOD. We actually ended up going back the next day to have the dessert because the meal sizes do not skimp and we couldn't find space for the gellato. STAFF KNEW THEIR GLUTEN FREE STUFF AND TOOK IT SERIOUSLY! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely lovely staff, so welcoming it has a lovely atmosphere If you're looking for a gluten-free option, this place is amazing! They had both pasta and pizza options (omg gosh the goats cheese pizza!) and I felt really comfortable and safe eating there.

Mouthwatering food! We came here after a long walk up Cat Bells and boy we did not leave hungry! Starting off we had garlic bread for the table and olives to share. Lovely thin and crispy garlic bread that was not shy on the garlic. Delicious. Moving to starters we had: White bait - lovely large crispy fillets (without the head to my girlfriends liking) and a sharp lemon mayo to accompany. Chilli and Garlic Prawns - as you can see in the picture they were huge and plump! Perfectly cooked I could’ve ordered another plate! For main course I had pistachio crumbed lamb which was cooked to perfection. Pink in the middle and so tender you could cut with a spoon. It didn’t need the red wine sauce it was that tasty by itself! Chicken & vegetable arrabbiata - delicious, slightly spicy, good portion size Tuscan Pork - wow. Amazing! Such a delicious dish. The depth and richness of the sauce was mind blowing. Would love to have the recipe to recreate at home! 10/10. Would highly recommend if you’re nearby.

Lovely food and loads od gluten free options. We will be back again next time we are passing through Keswick.

Really top quality italian food Really reasonable prices under current times we thought we would have to book but managed a walk in no problem 10 ou of 10 many thanks to the staff.

The worst Italian restaurant that calls itself "Italian"...I don't recommend it at all...I'm Italian/Spanish...I have authority and knowledge about Italian gastronomy.

Great restaurant and food. Only draw back the staff are not Italian but the chef is and the food is brilliant

Went on Sunday for a quick meal. We booked and got a lovely table by the window. It is a popular place and soon filled up. It did seem to cater well for big groups. The food and service were first class. Seafood Pasta was lovely and there was a lot of it. I couldn't fit in a pudding. My partners pizza was also very good. Crispy and spicy. We really enjoyed our weekend in Keswick. Everywhere we ate was first class.

One of the greatest Italian meals I have eaten. I didn't think it would top my first night in the lakes but it did. Fresh flavourful and perfect. Staff attentive and friendly service quick and atmosphere lovely and festive. So good we ate one night then booked for the following! Absolutely recommend this place! Oh and the crunchy sundae?! To die for! Just a heads up!

Had the most Amazing meal and best service by far. Well done to Maddie for making our evening so special.

Friendly restaurant with great food

Amazing food and great service. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Keswick. Its just a shame I'm a 3 hour drive away! Can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely meal at the Casa Bella, the starter was a mozzarella salad, the pizza was lovely nice and thin. The waiter provided some chilli flakes. My wife had the same starter and chicken carbonara. We had the hot chocolate fudge cake and the cheese cake for pudding. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was lovely. We would definitely go again when we visis keswick in the future. 👏

The food was delicious but the service was even better. On a very busy evening we were made very welcome with their friendliness and efficiency.

Lovely food, served really quickly
