Casa Bella in Allerdale

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

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

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

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

Coelia safe meal. Staff were friendly and multiple options on the menu were gluten free. I had a gluten free pizza which was really nice! They even had multiple gluten free dessert options.

Been many time's over the last 30 odd years. Try to go every time we stay in Keswick

The person who took my order was rude: after placing my takeaway order, I said that I'd come back, his response was: 'Do what you want'. Ordered four cheese pizza which was ok, nothing special, the seafood pomodoro was very disappointing the prawns hadn't been prepared properly and still had some scales left on them.

Fabulous food. Cosy venue. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Italian restaurant! Gorgeous food and great customer service. 😊 🍻

First class Italian restaurant in the centre of Keswick. Always busy. Must book.

Great food, friendly and warm staff and nice ambiance. Would recommend.

We were visiting the Lakes (not our first time but still getting to know Keswick) it was our anniversary so I booked a table weeks in advance for four of us. When we arrived they didn't seem to have set a table for us a lady behind the bar shouted over to the young guy some directions as to where to sit us. I can't remember the exact sentence she used but it was something like "not on a ...." and the guy shouted it back just to make sure he had got all the info. It all just sounded very negative and the way they were just shouting to each other lowered the tone of the restaurant instantly. We were then sat on a tiny table next to an old rusty, metal bookcase thing used for all the sauces and extra napkins etc. There were lots of free tables around us. My husband asked about the table and the guy just said that's all we have and walked off. The food for three of us was amazing (but it was pizza so not that tricky but very nice pizza) but I just chose wrong and my pasta was too spicy but that was my bad. The host was lovely, going around chatting to all the guests and taking pictures - lovely very friendly, great host. We had take away three hills ice cream after which I think is the best ice cream EVER! And so we came back many times for just that. I was really looking forward to spending my anniversary in Keswick and I love Italian food but this restaurant really disappointed us.

Had a very enjoyable dinner of pasta and pizza, followed by lovely chocolate gelato and espresso.

A decent place for an evening meal If that way, give it a try.

Food was absolutely delicious, our tables had pastas and pizzas and both were outstanding. The Atmosphere and the restaurant itself were also without fault. Friendly and accommodating staff, if you’re in Keswick definitely worth a visit but make sure to book as they’re very popular!

Brilliant food and service Staff was friendly and food in large enough portions to share

Excellent food great service would recommend highly

Amazing food and great service!

Brilliant friendly service from start to finish! Management so friendly and servicing staff were very attentive and so friendly too!. Food was 5 Star! We will definitely be back! Thank you.

We visited casa Bella this evening with high hopes. After waiting 40 minutes for our starters to come we where greeted with our main meals. We explained that we were still waiting for starters and the waitress went back to the kitchen. She reappeared a few minutes later to tell us that someone who had just started didn't realise we hadn't had our starters. We asked for everything to be brought out together which it was but the experience left a sour taste. Paid £60 for the privilege. Shame because the food was nice, a decent apology would have been appreciated before we were leaving the restaurant.

Lovely 3 course dinner after wandering up Skiddaw. Friendly attentive staff, great food, good bottle of wine and a nice local beer (thirst quencher).

That was lamHad mouth full rest of was fat not good Paid £21 for this plate

Nice food, friendly and efficient staff. 👍

Really good Italian restaurant. Service was excellent. A must to go to when in Keswick

The food is 1st class. The staff are brilliant. The location is great. If I didn't live 3hours away, I would go every week. I had a brilliant steak and my wife had a pasta dish.

had a great tasting seafood meal, just a shame the tails were still on the prawns, not what I expected in my first mouthful. Otherwise perfect.

Great food including gluten free pasta. The gluten free sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive.

After coming to Keswick for many many years we don't know how we've missed Casa Bella before. Maybe because it's always busy. Best to book on line well in advance to achieve a 7.30ish slot. Choice of food, quality and service is excellent, though it does work out a little expensive. The Affagatto, coffee with gelato and cream finishes off the meal perfectly. We are going here twice the holiday.

great spot to eat, very good staff and food

I dined out tonight and the food and service was excellent. Thank you

Pizza was delicious and would definitely recommend but the gelato wasn’t that great.

We like Casa Bella in Keswick. The service is friendly and the food is generally really good. The ice cream is great and the ice cream sundaes on the desert menu are really generous. I find the restaurant a little cramped in place so when it's full (it's always full when we've gone) getting in an out of your seat can be a challenge. I had the seafood pasta (tomato sauce version) on my last visit. Tasty and a reasonable portion. I'm not sure why they have only partially shelled the prawns for the dish it is makes it incredibly difficult to eat without making a mess. I imagine there's a reason for it but I wouldn't order it again in a rush. Generally though, everyone always looks forward to our annual visit and we'll be going back. Make sure you book well in advance for busy periods.

Excellent food! Will be back again & again 😋

We visit every time we go to Keswick and Casa Bella is without doubt the best restaurant in the town, food and service is always top quality

The (microwaved) lasagne was not hot at all in the middle. (2 of us had this and both were the same. Boiling on the outside but cold in the middle.) Bolognese was good. Both non alc cocktails were unavailable. Nice enough place but could be a lot better.

Excellent all round . Friendly staff great food will definitely book again

Lively atmosphere and a serving team that were always present but not intrusive. I had a good pizza; The Hot Sticks one, and my partner had the seafood risotto from the specials board. Both very flavourful and freshly cooked. Seemed a popular hangout, with a good mix of happy faces. Priced well at about £15 a head for mains, plus drinks.

Pizzas and pastas were nice. I saw them doing the puddings in the microwave so (at least some of them) are not homemade, so we didn't bother. It's a cosy atmosphere inside.

Absolutely brilliant place, food is freshly made and tastes exceptional, the staff are all very friendly and the happiest bunch I've ever seen in a restaurant - it was refreshing to see.

Food was amazing, service was fantastic.

We had a lovely meal here. Great gluten free pizza and other options such as gf pasta.

Great pizza, fresh ingredients and friendly staff to take our order

Have visited a few times and always had a good experience. The steak was spot on, ice cream delicious as always and a very nice quality coffee to finish. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Arrived at 2100 for a very quick takeaway icecream and was met by a very rude (bald) staff member pushed into the queue and stated that they were closed, and did not want to help us. The staff member who was inside seemed to think that it was fine however the outside staff was very rude and aggressive unnecessarily, so we departed without anything and will not be returning.

Service was good. Ambience ok. Not great having entrance to gents loos right by tables. Food OK, mozzarella tasted cheap, bean chilli nice. Best bit was ice cream which was good.

Excellent service and traditional menu.

Great atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. I tried the white chocolate cheesecake which was absolutely delicious and would honestly be the best I have ever had. Unfortunately the rack of lamb which I took for mains was rather chewy though I understand that it is very hard to cook lamb to be tender. The reason why I have rated the service at 3 is because a coffee which was ordered didn't arrive and we had to remind the staff of an ice cream which we ordered too. Overall I would highly suggest eating here but would definitely recommend booking ahead of time as times between 6 and 8 are eaten up very quickly!

Nothing to complain about here, you can see why its one of highest rated restaurants here

Excellent pizza and very tasty food.

Large italian restaurant in Keswick. Good food served swiftly by some great staff. Very busy at the time of our teatime visit. All in all worth a visit.

I feel it lacks atmosphere and for the prices you pay the service and experience should be better. This is the third time we have eaten here and ordered garlic bread and olives as our starter and every time we have been served the bread and no olives and had to ask for them. The napkins are like blue paper roll which is not a good look for the restaurant. I ordered the seafood pomidor which was slightly underwhelming , prawns were miniscule, and mussels served out of shells, squid was overcooked. I have been three times to this restaurant and a think it has deteriated I appreciate times are tough but prices are not cheap and the experience should be better for the price.

Quick service food tasty service that isn't asking you every 5 mins are you ok which I prefer all good and it's a sell out

Fantastic pizzas, really nice quality with toppings right to the edge, friendly and efficient service, but the best thing about Casa Bella is the ice cream! It is so good with a variety of flavours that even for hardened Italian ice cream lovers, it hits the spot!

I wouldn’t recommend this place for lunch. They got got my pasta wrong. When I pointed it out, they didn’t offer to exchange it. But it tasted funny, on my second complaint they offered to change it. There was no prawns in the seafood pasta and the service was terrible. The lady at the billing made a rather rude comment about the pasta that we ate, saying you had all of it despite it being a wrong order. Additionally we missed out w bus due to their mix up of our order. In all, I wouldn’t recommend this place at all, they hardly had any options for the lunch and within the limited options, the food and service was bad. Skip it for their lunch service.

We booked this place in advance on the strength of our sons' "it was all right" after a visit a few months ago, as we were travelling a hundred miles and wanted to be sure we could eat somewhere From arriving to leaving every aspect of the visit was enjoyable. The food especially(lasagne with garlic bread for my wife and a rustic vegetable arrabiatta with penne and garlic bread,for me) was delicious and compliments were sent to the kitchen. The place was busy,the food was great and the prices are typical of the sort of place we like to visit for food...and last but by no means least all the staff ee encountered were friendly and welcoming. Happy to recommend Casa Bella

lovely Italian resteraunt. Make sure you book in advance as very popular.

Nice Italian restaurant with good atmosphere, friendly staff and really good food.

Rude staff - I don't expect much and understand the dynamics of a busy service, but to be left waiting outside waiting with my 5 yr old for ice cream and have members of staff continually ignore us is bad in my book, all it would of needed was a 'really sorry we will be with you shortly' but to be ignored over and over is infuriating, especially when the staff are coming to the ice cream to fill desserts and trying as hard as they can not to make eye contact. Safe to say I walked off and went to the friendly ice parlour round the corner. Really shows the restaurant's true colours.

Well deserved coffee after run😅staff lovely take away coffee! 👍☕

Had a great meal here this week on our visit to Keswick. The service was excellent. We had Rustica pizza, pollo carbonara, and garlic bread with cheese pizza. Loved the thin crust. Definitely recommend.

Didn’t like the amount of cheese on pizza … way too much! However, the dough itself was quite nice. When it comes to gelato dessert - Bad quality whipped cream, awful fudge, salted caramel gelato doesn’t taste like salted caramel. The presentation of the dessert was unappealing. The atmosphere was chaotic. As long as someone has no idea how the real italian cuisine tastes like, the food is ok. But if one is familiar with the italiano meal quality, the food at casa bella is barely enjoyable. Just meh.

Ten of us had lunch here as a walk-in, and although they didn't have a large enough table, they were kind enough to seat us close together at tables for 6 and 4. The food was excellent, particularly the pizzas, which were thin, crispy and well topped. Service was prompt and very friendly. Would be happy to return when next in the area.

Had to send food back twice as it was still raw. Chef has difficulty with difference between pink and not cooked especially the lamb. Steak is chewy, starters simple and meh. Pizzas are okay. Pastas bland. Has gone downhill compared to a year or so ago which is a real shame. Go for the ice cream not the food.

Amazingly tasty food served by incredibly friendly staff. One of the best Italians we’ve had in a long while - would definitely recommend!

Great Italian restaurant, fitted us in without a booking, service quick, food great. Brilliant staff

We had take away pizzas - both very tasty.

Great food and a terrific menu! It was reasonably priced and the staff were really nice. I'll definitely call again when I'm next in the area.

A busy restaurant offering good quality food with pleasant staff.

Great food,desserts brilliant staff very friendly.Only wish we weren't going back to Scotland so soon.Would recommend Casa Bella.

Awful manager - shocking service- do not eat here or give any thought of eating here.

Absolutely great staff and good food to boot. Can’t go wrong!

Just great, tasty, no fuss food. Place was busy but seemed to be well staffed to cope with the demands. I had 4 cheese pizza but swapped the blue cheese for artichoke hearts and it was delightful, the thin base tastes better than it looks perhaps haha. My partner really enjoyed their sausage ragu and cheesecake. I had some gelato for dessert and it was really great. Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Keswick. They also do takeaway Gelato all day.
