Went to Casa Bella few days after Lockdown lifted in May 21. Very happy that all protocols were being followed.Staff were all very friendly, and were happy to do 2 of the 3 main course dishes as small portions (due to small appetites). We had a salmon and prawn pasta, a spinach pasta, and a mushroom pasta. All dishes were absolutely perfect, and they only charged us 50% of the normal price for the 2 small dishes which was very kind indeed.We couldn't fault the staff or the food, and will return as soon as we travel back to Keswick.

This is a great place for an evening meal. We had huge portions of rich lasagne, fresh salads and exquisite gelato - all with a good red house wine. Well worth a repeat visit

Always like this Italians on staying in Keswick. But as per previous bad reviews of late, I to have not had a refund. Before booking for New Year I was informed if it did not go ahead I would receive a refund of my deposit. After several emails nothing. Understand if the restaurant is out of business, if not then it’s a disgrace. I won’t be going again is still trading.

So good that we were tempted to book dinner here every night of our stay.The waiters were obviously very experienced and able to offer advise at every stage of our meal; I was very impressed by their attention to detail.I have never had pasta that tasted so good. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. We left nothing on our plates. The gelato for dessert was simply divine. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in a heartbeat.

We booked Casa Bella based on the vegan options they offered, with the menu stating that any vegetarian pizza could be changed to have a vegan mozzarella, we took this to mean that any vegetarian pizza would be changed to be vegan - but this was wrong. Upon ordering a vegetarian pizza with the vegan cheese the waiter quickly came back to say this was not vegan due to the other ingredients on the pizza, he instead said that the best option for me as a vegan was one pasta dish, a complete different dish type to what I ordered! Aside from this the food was very standard with not much flavour. My partner and I didn’t enjoy our meals, we felt rushed with the service and felt that some chain Italian restaurants offered better options with a more authentic taste.

Because we visited during a pandemic I did let a few things slide as I could see that the staff were rushed off their feet and trying their best in an unprecedented situation. The portion sizes are huge, we had the brie and pate to start and both were very nice. Unfortunately they had run out of the duck breast so I had a steak for my main course. I ordered it medium rare and it was the most over cooked, grey steak I've ever eaten, however, it tasted nice so it didn't seem worth complaining about. The huge plate was half covered with chips, I hate leaving food but I couldn't finish them. My mum had the pasta with spinach and it was quite overpowered by garlic. I personally love garlic, but it was so strong you couldn't taste anything else. We had ice cream for dessert and my mum said the Raffaelo was one of the nicest ice creams she's ever had. Bar the ice cream, the food here was very average. Saying that, I've only eaten here once, it may have been a one off slip or they may have been struggling with the demand during the pandemic. The staff were really friendly and efficient.

Been here a few times and still does not disappoint. Had the lasagne which was lovely. OH had the carbonara which she said was full of flavour. Portions were of the right size, so not hungry or stuffed afterwards. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and we did not have to wait very long for food to arrive. The restaurant is doing everything possible to make customers feel safe under current Covid rules with tables well spaced out for social distancing and all staff wearing masks. A great place to eat. Thankyou everyone.Will be back for more.

Not a strict veggie but love veggie food. ordered a mushroom and spinach pasta dish. It was ok but had three long chunks of meat in it. Bf chewed one to confirm meat and had to spit out (into his napkin) a very fatty, grisly meat chunk. We weren’t sure if it was pork or Chicken. I pushed the two remaining pieces of meat to the side of the bowl and told the waitress- thinking I wasn’t that bothered about the presence of meat myself, but know many veggies would be horrified at the find so wanted the kitchen to be aware. Waitress whisked bowl back to kitchen. She emerged a few mins later and began to feebly explain the outcome of her investigation. She was interrupted (it was a busy Saturday night) by a man coming over her shoulder to announce it was a wild mushroom, not meat. She put the dish back in front of me and I was astounded to see the two pieces of meat had been REMOVED from side of plate and in their place was a mushroom. All of the sauce from the side of the plate was also gone and had been wiped. Not as I had left it.I defended myself to them both, claiming I know it was meat and but that this was clearly a mushroom. I said I know the texture and taste of mushrooms well enough. The man immediately walked away (her back up gave up at first challenge) and the waitress asked me if I wanted to finish the dish. we were at an impasse. He said she said. I paid my full bill (around 60) and left. I didn’t want to make a scene about this and what else could I say to them? The meat had disappeared. Two things. This restaurant has some shoddy food production processes if they allow meat to get into a veggie dish. Secondly, two of their waiting staff cleaned and replaced items on the side of the bowl and lied to my face about it. The pasta dish itself cost around £13. I wonder why they felt compelled to lie about this rather than (at worst) lose £13. I wasn’t claiming I wouldn’t pay for it, but it would have been the at worst outcome for them. Why would they go to those Lengths?? I’m shocked and have never experienced anything like this before. Mistakes happen but the lack of integrity I have seen tonight makes me believe this restaurant must think it’s customers are stupid. Veggie people beware.

I will start by saying that this sums up my experience but my partner who accompanied me disagrees and would score it higherIt’s a well presented Italian on the Main Street in Keswick that seems busy most nights, we pre-booked which is probably a good idea and I was excited as I love Italian food. Upon arriving we were greeted and then told quite abruptly we had 90 minutes only. Whilst I understand turnaround is important to income generation I found this rude and unnecessary at 7:30 when the restaurant shut at 10 - not a good start!We sat down and were almost immediately rushed into a drinks order. Hardly less than a minute later and we were then asked for our food order, we had been there less than 5 minutes and the waiter seems annoyed when I asked for more time. It felt like a revolving door with very little interest in the customers experience! My partner enjoyed her food and had mushroom pasta. I had sea bass served with polenta and salad which was the dullest thing I’ve ever eaten...£17 of disappointment, dry and in need of a sauce. I don’t recommend and perhaps I made a bad choice. The toilets in the venue were small and not up to the standards I would expect with a pandemic but this largely a reflection of the venue. Would I want my older family members going, absolutely not. Always on the lookout for positives the dessert of Gelato was really lovely and I certainly recommend trying this if passing the restaurant as you can get this to take away. Perhaps I just had a poor dish but the menu description was inadequate, the service pushy and focused on customer volume rather than experience. Not terrible by any stretch but just not somewhere I would rush back too.

Needed to find somewhere for supper the next day and passed Cassa Bella so popped in an reserved a table for 8.15 - their earliest available time. We were shown to our table and given menus but were continually being asked if we were ready to order - and was even asked by one passing waiter if we were ready to order our desert! It felt like they had all been given orders to get people in and out as quickly as possible, we guess because of the 10pm close restrictions. The food was actually quite good for a mid-range Italian restaurant and was not overpriced, we just felt a little bit uncomfortable by the slightly manic service - especially after 9.30 when everything was being frantically prepared for closure at 10.00pm, whilst we were still enjoying our supper

This was a great little find in the small town of Keswick. We all had pizza which was delicious and lots of good vegetarian choices. Fresh and good quality ingredients and tasted authentically Italian. As soon as we walked we in we were hit with delicious scents of coffee and food. We were not disappointed. They have amazing gelato with specials on the menu everyday. We tried the Nutella swirl and mint chocolate which were both fantastic. We had great service from an Italian gentleman who was friendly and genuine for the duration of our stay. There was a female waitress also who wasn’t so friendly. Would definitely go back as the food was great and the prices were reasonable.

Our experience was poor just at the border line of do we complain or is the everyday poor standard of food and cooking in this restaurant.I had a mixed sea food risotto del mare, mussels, prawns, squid rings and shell fish.The seafood had been overlooked squid rings like rubber bands, prawns(shrimp) tiny things cooked until rubber.My wife had the beef lasagne just minced meat with tomatoes and a pasta top uninteresting and lacked seasoning. Clearly some people rate this food as people returned for a second night.Service was good pleasant staff, but someone needs to give the chief some time off.

We have eaten here before on previous visits to the Lake District. This visit, we booked in for three nights during the week. The first night was very good - good food, excellent service and an enjoyable night. The second visit was terrible. My wife's pasta (penne) was undercooked - not al dente, but undercooked and inedible. My Sea Bass was way over-cooked - the side order of chips arrived as I had just about finished eating my main course. When the table was cleared, my wife had left all of her pasta apart from a few mouthfuls of the carbonara sauce. I left most of the chips which had arrived so late. No apology - no offer to provide something else, or re-cook my wife's dish, so we paid our bill - in full - and left. We cancelled our reservation for the third night that we had intended to eat there and went elsewhere. So, on balance, a "poor" rating. We are uncertain if we will return when we next visit the Lakes.

Unfortunately, and mainly due to COVID I guess, we felt rather rushed with our meal. We had pre-booked our table, and it was obvious that it was booked out again afterwards. To be fair, the staff made it clear when we arrived, that we had one-and-a-half hours to enjoy our meal. The speed of the service certainly meant that this was not a problem. But, if you wanted a romantic night out, avoid this place, would be my advice.The food was good, and so was the service, but the overall impression of being rushed, means I cannot award more than 3 stars.

Had a lovely evening with friendly service, there were a few mistakes made with our food orders (eg my starter was brought out after everyone else had finished theirs) but we were not fussed by this as we were relaxed on holiday and understand mistakes are made.

Cold food, poor experience. Booked for a Thu in August, so avoided the cheap Mon to Wed offering as thought it would be better. Local friends warned us away, but we decided to go anyway. Cold starters, King Prawns, oil should be sizzling right? Mushrooms, not warm either! Fed back to waiter, apologised and said he’d tell kitchen. 2 min later mains arrived, 2 average dishes that I could have made better myself. I’d only had one mouthful of my beer when the mains arrived. 35 min, in and out, £50 lighter. Cold starters were never mentioned again. Emailed to cancel a future booking and Andrew responded straight way. Good Morning,I have read your email and I'm obviously very disappointed that we have done a poor job of looking after you. I will be doing an investigation today, and will come back to you later.Until then, please accept my apologies for your poor experience last night, and thank you for being decent in cancelling your booking for tonight.Rgds AndrewA week later and Andrew didn’t bother to respond, says it all really about customer service. I suspect their business is mainly tourist who go once and never return. Shame really, we love Keswick and supporting local businesses but this is one place we wont be going back to.

Went on a Wednesday in the last week of August. Booked in advance and was looking forward to it. Arrived to be told we had the table for 90 minutes, fair enough but could have been told that in advance. Ordered a beer, order taken. Came back, didn’t have that beer. Changed it. My partner ordered a gin and tonic with ice. Arrived, no ice, had run out of ice. They make ice cream...but no ice. Ordered the food. My partner ordered a special. Order taken. Came back five minutes later, only two specials on. Starters arrived, put on table, no cutlery. Asked three people for cutlery. Ignored. Manager spotted it and sorted it. Had the lasagna which appeared to lack cheese sauce and was very very tomato flavoured. We saw six different staff at our table rather than one who was focused on serving our table/section. Really sorry but I could not bring myself to pay the service charge for this.

We had dinner here last night and had a lovely dining experience. For starters it was garlic mushrooms with crusty bread followed by Hotpicks pizza and chicken & mascarpone on penne. Both were delicious and cooked well. For desert I had the cheesecake which was nice and light and my wife had the icecream so all good to this point. Just a couple of negatives...1) We had booked for 7.15 and already 6 of the 7 chefs specials were sold just leaving a steak ..2) For desert my wife wanted the peanut/nutella sundae and peanut icecream and nutella were sold out. So in only rate as 4 out of 5 due to shortages and would certainky rate at 5 had we been able to order from the full menu. Staff were spot on and full credit to the kitchen for a job well done.

Booked a table due to the 50% off so knew we would struggle getting a table otherwise. Atmosphere was okay? Staff hovered throughout which was offputting,and didn't get served by the same person twice. Drinks came quickly, I wanted one of the chef's specials but upon ordering was told it wasn't available so we went with two lasagnes. Service was quick but the food was bland, might as well of been an ASDA ready-meal.Disappointed in this highly praised restaurant won't be going back.

Booked 3 weeks in advance for eat out to help out and I'm so pleased that I did. This place is a real find! Pastas area around the £13 mark but I can honestly say that the chicken and bacon carbonara and cajun chicken pasta are the best I've ever had. Out of this world. Pizzas are thin base but very dense and packed with topping. They even had three great draught beers on too which were ice cold as they should be....Menu isn't massive so check before you go just to make sure there's something for you. Was £55 for a family of four on eat out to help out. Thanks rishi sunak

Went during the Gov scheme and glad I only paid half price. Food was average and clearly just rushing people out of the restaurant to cram in as many bookings as possible. Not a relaxing experience at all......

Visited here on a busy Sunday night. Menu was good and varied (for example I had venison casserole which is welcomingly different) and the staff are awesome. Plenty of them and totally efficient.Wanted to return the following night but the place was fully booked which is testimony to it’s excellence.

Last night 22/08/2020 was the best meal so far. We went twice alst year when staying a week in Keswick and twice again the week just gone. Having stayed a week in Kes again. The foods been really good everyone time. Last night I had the best steak I've ever had by far. Cooked perfect, melt in mouth, barely any fat, the white wine mushroom. Sauce was delicious. They do a fantastic range of gelato and it's very good. They also have takeaway ice cream. Had a come most nights. Definately recommend. Also nice staff and friendly

We ate at Casa Bella in the first week of the 50% off scheme. First time we had been there. Food was good; I had a really good seafood risotto, my wife enjoyed her venison casserole and daughter thought the pizza was excellent - she also liked the ice cream. Everyone we spoke with was very friendly but we did feel a little rushed.

We booked Casa Bella to ensure that we had a place booked for our first night in Keswick however we were neither amazed nor disappointed with the restaurant. Just a rather average Italian meal where most of the chef's specials were unavailable. My partner and I both love Italian cuisine, yet this was far from the best we've had. The lasagne tasted like it had been microwaved as the middle was cold and was a rather bland taste.On the positive, the servers were very friendly and efficient and made us feel very welcome. The gelato looked fantastic and we shall be returning for some takeaway gelato during our stay.

Pizzas are amazing. Just like Italian. Service top notch. Ice cream as dessert, lots of lovely flavours.

We tried virtually all the ice cream shops in Keswick during our holiday last week. This is by far the best. Friendly service, good sized portions, and most importantly the most delicious ice cream. Highly recommend.

We booked here for my partners birthday so wanted it to be special. The service was good and the staff pleasant. I ordered the penne carbonara. This wasn’t a traditional carbonara that you’d find, it had peppers and was creamier. My issue was that the pasta was cold, as if they’d just poured hot sauce over it. I sent this back and they reheated it. No gesture of goodwill in the form of discount or a drink. My partner had lasagne which was piping hot. Given the choice, we wouldn’t return and would find another italianThe gelato attached to the restaurant however is excellent

Overpriced, bland starters followed by overcooked, bland steaks. When brought to the managers attention he was unhelpful throughout. After making it clear I wouldn't be paying for a replacement steak that hadn't yet arrived, (after 25 minutes) the manager was aggressive and abrupt. After exchanging words and highlighting his poor attitude I left and had some fantastic food elsewhere. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I don't know who has reviewed this place to rate it so highly, your usual Italian must be awful. A couple if the staff were really enthusiastic but the food?! Basics like bruschetta done poorly, big portions of spaghetti with awful mince. Struggled to get a table but wish I never bothered. Pointed out the duck was overcooked, couldn't care less. Average is the only thing I can say, if your version of food is low end then its fine

This was the first visit we had to this restaurant although we are often in Keswick. It was an afternoon and they were busy but not rushed off their feet. The staff were attentive but not in your face. The salmon carbonara was simply divine.Slightly pricier than we would normally pay for lunch but it was enjoyable and felt clean and sanitised which is even more important at this time. Would recommend and will visit again.

Had both take away and stay in during my holiday in the town at this restaurant and was equally impressed. And to be boring I had the same main course, the chicken carbonara. Equally as creme and rice as each other.Tables well spaced but did notice the condiments being passed around tables by waiting staff not be cleaned down in between.Other than that great food, cheery service and fair prices.

Lovely family run restaurant and we left feeling we'd had a great dinner. The staff were very friendly despite being rushed off their feet. It's not pleasant wearing masks in that environment, especially as the weather has been hot. They all did a great job. The atmosphere was vibrant but relaxed and we didn't feel rushed. The food was delicious, two of us had steak which were to be cooked differently and both were spot on. The pizza was lovely, proper thin bases and perfectly cooked. Covid regulations must make things very difficult and we felt they have done a superb job.

Thank you to the guy on the door. Squeezed is in for a takeaway despite being full. Food arrived quickly and was excellent. Pleasantly surprised to get the eat out discount applied as well making it great value.

Been to the restaurant this evening and been disappointed. Been there on 2 other occasions and really enjoyed our evening but this time it was HUGELY different. Apart from the food I would not rate the restaurants take on COVID restrictions. The tables may be 2 meters but seats are not and staff members are running around making us feel dizzy. The toilets were not well organised as you had to push past staff and fellow restaurant attendees with very little hand sanitizer available. The restaurant also does NOT tell you on booking that you only have an hour and 30 mins to eat until you open the food menu?! Which puts you under pressure before you even start choosing your food. The waitresses and waiters are under pressure to turn it around quickly. As well as this the restaurant was hot and stressful even though the food was lovely.

Took my Daughter here last evening for dinner. Everything about the experience was excellent. It was quite busy, but we were tucked nicely into a 'niche' in the corner and you wouldn't have known. The service was attentive, prompt, courteous and non-intrusive. The food was superb - well presented, well cooked and well thought out. Lovely. There is a good range of drinks available too. Altogether an absolutely brilliant evening. Not at the cheaper end of the market, but very well worth it.
