Casa Romana - Carlisle in Carlisle

Went here with my family we got the spaghetti Bolognese, spaghetti carbonara, garlic bread pizza plain and king prawn with rice if I could rate 10/10 I would well done casa Romana keep up the good work Xxx

Called in for lunch and explained we were short of time. Food came quickly and was delicious. The staff are friendly and very helpful, perfect.

Food was lovely & the staff & service was excellent. Not badly priced either.

had a spontaneous lunch hadn't been in years so was looking forward to it but got to say was very disappointed. ordered arrancini balls and a pizza to share.. the arrancini was tasteless and the pizza was really dry that i ordered mayonnaise to dip it in. we also did not have a check back from any staff to see if all was ok during the whole time of our visit. not sure would return

Good food.Primitivo Wine was excellent. Service very good. Pleasant Staff.

Always have a lovely meal here . We went as a party of 10 and all served in good time and delicious. Dairy free option for ice cream too . Friendly staff always

First time I have eaten here and will definitely be back. Great menu, and they caterer to all diety needs.

Really nice place and the food was good, staff were lovely too! The deserts especially were amazing!

Went out for my girlfriend’s birthday, poorly planned but called for reservation and they managed to fit us in. Food was nice, had better, but it was good. The atmosphere was a bit lacking, but I think that’s due to a smaller venue and it seemed a bit cramped. Staff were lovely though.

Great experience and they were careful, as I have severe allergies to several, common foods. Will definitely return when I'm up in Carlisle again!

Super Birthday Party, the meal was excellent. the staff were all very efficient and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble. The manager was especially helpfull assisitng my daughter and myself in putting up some decorations for my husbands 70th Birthday. Thankyou for making it a memorable evening Casa Romana!

Have to say, this place was pretty special! We arrived late and close to closing time but we're still accommodated. Food was great, and although the restaurant was quiet, service was good too! Definitely a surprise and diamond waiting to be found !

Brilliant. Initially couldn't fit me in as they were packed but managed to sort a table for me after a short wait. Really extensive menu, loads of gluten free options, good portions and well priced. What's not to love. Fabulous dining room too. Oh, and the most amazing secret for us gluten free people who like a coffee after dinner.

An Italian restaurant in Carlisle, not too big, but the food is very delicious. Every dish we ordered was great. Italian restaurant in Carlisle. It's not very big. The food tastes very delicious. Every dish you order # TravelingAsACouple

absolutely beautiful. the decor is just wonderful, the staff are prompt and attentive and very very friendly. the food is delicious, absolutely mouth-watering, the spaghetti bolognaise was delicious, but the best part of the entire 3 courses was the tiramisu, WOW! that was gorgeous.

Our first time staying in Carlisle and we couldn’t recommend this place more. Lovely, attentive staff and a great menu with lots of options for vegans (the vegan dough sticks are fab!)

Lovely staff, food fantastic, turning into a regular drop in when we're in Carlisle

Three of us had the three course Express Menu for lunch plus a drink, water and a coffee. I wouldn’t normally have three courses but the portions were well judged. All plates of food were genuinely excellent and it’s very good value. The restaurant is well placed in Carlisle and for bus and train travellers (which we were) and has a good feel to it even when it isn’t busy. We ate really well and all agreed we’ll be back.

What an excellent find this restaurant was. We were stopping overnight in Carlisle and stumbled across Casa Romano. Excellent service and fabulous food at reasonable prices, would certainly recommend. One tip, ring and book a table cos they're really busy.

Had gorgeous vegan dinner and dessert from large vegan menu. Generous portions too. Mushroom cannelloni was delicious, as was the sticky toffee pudding with ice 'cream'. Would love a restaurant like this nearby.

First time visiting Casa Romana and we were so pleased with the friendliness of the staff. We had the early bird, between 5 and 5pm, two courses for £14! The food came out fresh and piping hot. Really enjoyed our visit here, would definitely come back!!

The food here was amazing. Great portion sizes and really tasty.

Absolutely brilliant food, we are from our of area and happen to pop here after reading the reviews on Google maps, I'm glad we did, it was amazing food and drink was great value... Im glad we went in at the time we did as it started to get busy , it was full when we left, not bad for a wet Tuesday night was said by I think the manager.. if we are in Carlisle again will defo pop back

Lovely decor, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was well presented and tasty. Only let down was my risotto rice was over cooked, you could see it was, so really the kitchen should have started again. The sea food was taste and cooked nice in it though. I let the waiter know and he was apologetic and made it right with me. I recommend booking, a rainy Monday night and it was busy.

A pre- wedding get to know eachother meal for 30 adults and 5 children. A fabulous night was had by all. Food great, staff superb and Richard did his bit.

I follow a vegan diet and today, hands down has been my best experience at an Italian restaurant. My husband and I are in the area staying for a few days as a birthday treat for me and we came here on my birthday and I am leaving with a huge smile on my face. The food was phenomenal and the service was great. If we ever visit the area again we will be popping through again for sure!

Love this little restaurant. Only discovered it last year after many years visiting Carlisle! 🤦‍♀️ Always make a point to book a table in advance as always busy. Look forward to my next visit….

Thank you for a fabulous meal. Awesome Food, Service and Drinks. A terrific Cheers from a Happy Aussie Crew!

Had dinner there last night and it was truly amazing! Could not fault it from start to finish. I had the Pappardelle Dello Chef and it is probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever had! Great selection of starters and mains and the Tiramisu was a perfect end to the meal. The staff are polite and attentive. Just a fantastic spot to enjoy fantastic food.

Great italian restaurant with a good ambience. I. Had baked cod which was the best I've ever tasted. The whole evening was very enjoyable. Also excellent service fromour waiter We will be back soon.

Great Italian Restaurant; definitely a cut above the usual; quality of the food, wine, ambience and service all above normal, and the prices are reasonable. Not that likely to be in the area again, but if we were, would be back.

Went on a Saturday recently for lunch and Casa Romano have a great menu and offer a lunchtime menu which is very good value..the wine wasn't overpriced like many places.. Our party of 4 were served by Shay and Jack and were very attentive and both did their job well.. Place was also very clean.. Would Highly Recommend this place..no doubt will return at some stage as we were only visiting for a few hours.. Keep up the high standards...😀

I wrote a review earlier today and left by mistake a 1 star review ! So SORRY..It was meant to be a 5 Star rating so apologies to the management about this! Food was great! Staff Shay and Jack who served the 4 of us were very good and attentive and friendly too...we had the luncheon menu on the Saturday which was very goo and tasty... Thanks very much to all the staff.......Place was was also very clean too... Hopefully will return on our next visit to Carlisle ..

Lovely place with good food and friendly staff. Highly recommend you try this place.

Visited recently for late lunch. As soon as we entered, I observed the very welcoming, friendly atmosphere, and the service we received resulted in the same. If I'm being honest, I wasn't blown away by the food itself as I found the garlic pizza bread very greasy and too thin. However, I'd return again and try something else on the menu

Wonderful food and service, staff are really good and on hand for everything, food was excellent, really tasty and fresh.

Fantastic food and service highly recommend 😁

Food was amazing, relaxed atmosphere. We went with the kids and they really enjoyed it too

Lovely Calzone, highly recommended.

This Italian restaurant has been in Carlisle a long time with very good reason. Lovely food. Excellent service.

Friendly, efficient service with extensive menu. The good sized chicken dinner I had had a delicious sauce and was reasonably priced.

The food was delicious, good portion sizes, friendly staff and fast service. The decor is a little dated and the table felt a bit small so I felt a little cramped, I also noticed the seat became a little uncomfortable over time. Overall I would recommend a visit.

Wonderful place to visit very welcoming food delicious will deffo be going again 😋

Fantastic. Lovely food made for an enjoyable evening. Good service. Easy to book. Looking forward to when we are there again.

Had a delicious meal today in this pure Italian restaurant. In all dishes you can taste that they are prepared authentically Italian. Service was also very friendly and the dishes were served quickly.

Great food, spacious, light and comfortable. Good menu selection.

Good quality food reasonably priced comfortable and nice decor

Stayed in Carlisle for two nights, stumbling across Casa Romana by happy chance. Everything was flawless, staff, attention to detail, courtesy and most importantly the food. Should we find ourselves in Carlisle again, no brainer, authentic, excellent quality food, with great customer service.

Lovely atmosphere, restaurant filled with people enjoying themselves. The food was extremely good and all served by friendly and happy staff. The price was excellent too which was a pleasant surprise for such a great place.

Had a great family meal here staff are really friendly and nothing was to much trouble.

Really good food and excellent service. Can't ask for better

I loved starting here. Voor restaurant with analyzing food. Do book a table in advance to be sure you can be served.

I came here with my family on a Thursday lunchtime. The service was great and the food was delicious. The set menu is extremely good value. The leggera pizza with salad is a great healthier option.

What a truly delicious meal. I had to come back to make sure. Huge compliments to the kitchen. And to top it off, the front of house was just brilliant. Great atmosphere, Great staff. I will be back....

3rd visit and did not disappoint. Great food, great price 👍 👌

Our go to place when in Carlisle. Great tasting food with the added benefit of catering for those who need gluten free items - best of both worlds! Speedy friendly service as well - what's not to like.? Thoroughly recommended

Pasta dish was very bland,service very slow and poor had to ask several times for different things,everything seemed a effort.

Lovely local resturant, great food, fair prices, and freindly people.

Food was really nice but kids portions were tiny even though we opted & paid for ‘bigger kids’ meals, one of them was literally 3tbsp of pasta and also there was parmesan missing from the other kids ‘buttered spaghetti’ :(

Very disappointed with this meal. Small pizza tasted like it was just frozen, not fresh at all. Garlic ‘focaccia’ didn’t taste like focaccia, however, it was quite nice nevertheless. Quite expensive for extra toppings, even ‘extra garlic’ on the garlic bread! The rest of my party’s meals looked okay, but had mixed reviews. Service was great! But restaurant was very quiet and there was no atmosphere. Will not be returning in a hurry, unfortunately.

It was peaceful!! I loved my food, waiters were polite, toilets were clean😅💯 good price for the meals! Recommend ‼️

Nice place and delicious dishes.

Was stuck in Carlisle due to train cancellations and decided to have lunch at Casa Romana. Food was flavourful, and really enjoyed the pollo picante starter. Staff were friendly and accommodated us with without a booking. Only thing I will say is if you’re getting lunch, make sure you don’t arrive right at the end of the lunch opening hours since the kitchen closes slightly before the official closing time.

Food was fantastic a bit small for the price you pay for but otherwise it was fantastic

Came here due to the many vegan options. Overall the food was ok. The garlic pizza bread was amazing however the vegan carbonara was unfortunately very oily. I was really disappointed with the service as it was incredibly slow. I hate to be rushed out the door but this was the opposite. The wait in-between courses were incredibly long, and with a toddler this didn't exactly go well. It would of been nice to have been asked if we wanted another drink while we waited, but the staff didn't come over. A young staff, which I feel would benefit from front of house training. I'd love to return due to the vegan option, however, wouldn't rush back to the very slow service.

Young waiters no idea what they are doing but in the end ok

Had dinner here with another couple who had just got engaged, one of whom is vegan. We chose Casa Romana because of the great vegan options and were not disappointed. We phoned the night before and asked if it were possible they could source a vegan sparkling wine/prosecco so we could celebrate our friends engagement. And the staff absolutely came through, going out to buy a bottle at our request! And the food was delicious too! So much to choose from. Our vegan friend was seriously impressed with the fact there were so many choices to be had. The chef also made made a vegan chocolate brownie and asked if they could try this - it went down very well - think they could have eaten it three times over! We all enjoyed our meal and will be back again soon. Great food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Thank you!

Met with friends we had a lovely meal. Our food was delicious. I had the chicken risotto, and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back and would recommend it.

We had dinner here last week for a colleague who was retiring and from start to finish we were well looked after. The food and service was exceptional, one of the best Italians that I have visited and if I am ever in Carlisle again, I will definitely be back!

My self and my partner went for lunch to this Beautiful little Italian restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, beautiful food, and very friendly staff. I would recommend you book your table as it can get very busy

Meal was absolutely gorgeous, as was everybody else's that I was with, the service was brilliant with lovely friendly staff, couldn't fault anything, look forward to returning soon

We were staying in Carlisle and found this restaurant on Google maps so checked out the menu , website and reviews and decided to book. I sent an email to book and had a quick response boking us in. We had a lovely relaxing meal and drink all served by very friendly staff. Although it was very busy we received all our food in the appropriate time for it to be cooked fresh and it was very tasty. There was plenty of good choices on the menu and served local ales. The restaurant has very nice decor and is very clean , including toilets. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Carlisle.

Greatly improved menu the mixed fish starter is lovely food great staff great we will be back, we had happy hour which had a good variety

Well who said the restaurant industry is struggling! Turned away from Casa Romana Carlisle at 5.30pm on a Thursday as fully booked although only 8 people seated and at least 20 covers free and despite saying would be potentially out in an hour ! Staff totally unfussed with no apology!

After finishing 3 games of bowling after my 18th Birthday, we decided we needed somewhere to go after. I personally fancied a pizza, and both mum and my grandparents thought it was a brill idea. Went on to Tripadvisor and sorted by takeaway and Pizza, and came across this. Ordered off the online menu, and selected the time at 19:45. We arrived a few minutes earlier, but was ready at the selected time. We didn’t expect it to be so busy in the restaurant when we walked in, and glad we chose Takeaway. When we received our pizzas, we went to a car park, and ate it. And it was the perfect flavour for everyone’s pizza. The two grandparents had Pizza El Pollo, my mum had a Ricardo, where as I went for a custom one with Pepperoni, Pineapple, Ham, Sundried Tomatoes and Blue Cheese. They were all delicious. Would 100% go again. Maybe for my 19th :p.

I had long conversation with the owner on the phone about our visit, the food was fine, however the service was abysmal. The young waitress could not have been less interested and threw most of our food down and slammed the drinks down too. Great shame....

Saturday 5th August 2023, this was the third time I have been to eat here and everytime the food was excellant, this time their were 7 of us and everyone enjoyed the food, I tried the salmon fillet and it truly was one of the best salmon dishes I have tasted the sauce was so creamy and lovely garlic potatoes others had risotto and pizza and also all had sweets for afters and all complimented on the food The staff were very attentive and pleasant. This is my go to Italian Restaurant in Carlisle

Incredible food and great service. Could not recommend highly enough. The restaurant was very busy however staff were still incredibly attentive and the food not only came out quickly, it was also delicious.

We booked a table for 7 .At arrivals the place it looked nice little place and till we had our food !! OMG from startas to main BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! King prawns nothing what it says on the menu! I got 3 tiny tiger prawns and a soggy tomato bred ! And 12 inch pizzas come out 7 inch in our table so soggy no taste! Nothing! ! So I got to say this is the worst pizza I ever eaten on a Italian restaurant! Or any eaten place ! I left the restaurant hungry and angry! This restaurant should change a name as they are putting a shame on Italian food !

We hadn't booked but the water kindly found us a table upstairs. We had a beautiful meal with some of the best risotto and pasta carbonara that we've ever tasted! Service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

Excellent and tasty meal We have had meals that cost twice the amount that we’re not half as good Excellent value and service Worth a visit to Carlisle just for this meal

Fantastic food and staff! We hadn’t booked and just popped in as we were in Carlisle that evening at 6:00pm and the waiter kindly fitted us in, it was graduation week so we were very lucky to get a table. We had an amazing vegan meal, arancini followed by pizza, both were so tasty. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert.

We were so delighted to be fitted in with a last-minute booking. The food was amazing- excellent value express menu with a choice of vegan options. We both had pizza with delicious, generous toppings and the very best vegan dessert I have had - 'Berry Messy' - absolutely yummy Eton Mess. We'll definitely be back when next in the area. Very highly recommended.

Popped in for *happy hour* before going home - service good but little disappointed in the meal - the plate was so hot it was dangerous - the meal was the same but slightly burnt around the edges as if it had been heated up...

Lovely lunch although the portion sizes seem to be a little smaller than what they were. Came with a group of friends and had the tagliatelle with aubergine and lamb ragu very tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and the staff were courteous and professional. Good selection of dishes on the menu, some very reasonably priced. Can highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic service and food - can really recommend the Black Pudding starter and the Pepe Nero! Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Booked lunch here for my mums birthday mainly on the strength of the Guardians’ review and other trip advisor reviews. Just one other table occupied but the 2 staff were a little slow and disinterested. Food was okay, we would have ordered more drinks, dessert...

Olives & bread starter very fresh & tasty Pizza toto delicious Pork with mash also delicious & good size portion Very nice bottle of malbec to wash it down. Restaurant is very nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. The staff are amazing quietly attentive and cater...

Enjoyable meal with my friend,Lovely catch-up, looking forward to doing it again before too long.

Used the upstairs room for a big family get together. The staff were so helpful with the organising and amazing on the night. The food was delicious, served hot to everyone and the evening went seamlessly. Thank you all.

We had a lovely meal tonight at Casa Romano, my wife is Vegan and they have a separate vegan menu with a great choice of meals. We both had great meals and the staff were friendly and attentive. Good value and great service, our favourite...

Absolutely fantastic food, great atmosphere, all staff friendly, good prices. Will go again without doubt.

We're regular visitors to Casa Romana, I have coeliac disease and their vast range of gluten-free options is excellent. To have so much g.f choice is quite rare when eating out which is one of the reasons we keep coming back; pizza, pasta, risotto, meat...

We came here on the back of the Grace Dent review and we weren’t disappointed. My husband is coeliac and he had gf ravioli, which he doesn’t get to eat that often. It was delicious. The service was great, the prices are reasonable. It was...

We absolutely love it here & we’re never disappointed, food, service and ambiance exceptional. It was a birthday celebration for a special young lady turning 21, they were amazing, made her feel very special.

Very tasty food with a varied menu, an extensive vegan/gluten free menu, and friendly, fast service! Would highly recommend!

My friend and I, who are both vegan, ate there last night. Can not express enough how amazing this place is. Not only does it have an extensive vegan menu, but the food was outstanding and the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. It was...

Super food as always. Massive portions so make sure you are hungry when you go. The lamb starter was particularly delicious. Great service and good value for money
