Wow the food is blissimo. The restaurant was super busy, but the staff were able to seat me and do 2 courses in less than an hour between me running for the next train home. The chef managed my allergy requirements without a hitch. Highly highly recommended Two courses and a large gin under 35 pounds great value

We ate at Le Mezzulina on our day out experiencing the Settle to Carlisle rail journey. It was very near to the station so easy to find. We had a lovely welcome and staff seemed really well informed about gluten free options. Always good for me as I have coeliac desease. All our meals were really good but my gluten free pizza was one of the best i have ever had. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially because of the time restriction on this trip.

Road tripping around UK. We had the lasagne and seafood taguatelle. The pasta itself had a great texture. Seafood pasta had a great sea food flavour. Lasagne was freshly baked, crispy in the right parts. Awesome stringy cheese. Service was great. Price reasonable. I did not expect the best lasagne of my life here in Carlisle!

Booked a table, glad we did as it was busy. Team in the restaurant were very attentive without being overbearing. I had a calzone, one of the best ever as it had a bolognese ragu on top. Would definitely go there again if in town.

Popped in here for lunch was very busy but we managed to get seated. Food was delicious. Shared a garlic bread starter. Then had a chicken dish for me sauce was delicious. Partner had beef with pasta. Then shared the cheesecake. Two lagers £55 the lot. Totally recommended it

Our second visit as the first time was superb….so was this time. Great staff and amazing food. The fact we booked a 5.30 table and the place was busy then says a lot about how great it is. Huge thanks and we can’t wait to visit again.

Decidedly average and expensive with it - I can make better "juged up" pizzas myself from a standing start of adding a few more ingredients to a good quality supermarket pizza. My partner’s pizza was only just warm. My main criticism, however, is reserved for the staff. They were unsmiling, disinterested and, some of them, were borderline hostile. Not a good dynamic between them which is almost palpable. A shame as we had a great experience the last time we went. I wouldn’t be surprised if the place was no longer there before too long as there are much nicer places to go in Carlisle.

Friendly and attentive staff, food was good and tasty but didn't blow my socks off. My wife's steak however was apparently gorgeous. Would happily go again, next time I'll maybe try the steak 😄🥩. The atmosphere was loud when full, but it's a small contained space, if you're harder of hearing you may not enjoy it as much as peak times. Should also good for those with slight mobility issues, there is one small step towards the back of the restaurant towards the toilets.

Chicken like chewing toffee. Honest, even dick Turpin wore a mask. Veg boiled partially and microwave. Hard. Chips not bad. Frozen though. Over all very disappointing- charging a small fortune for mediocre On a plus side - floor workers very pleasant , management- arrogant Eat your own food and judge it yourself. Remain humble.

Oh dear what a let down! Came into Carlisle for a few hours and booked this restaurant based on reviews. Welcome poor, service poor, food poor. Mussel starter, never seen such poor mites! To be fair when this was raised, the cost was removed from the bill but the way it is written on the menu, is a matter for trade description department. Ham and pineapple pizza - tasteless. Lasagne was fine! So disappointed, this visit was supposed to enhance our day, it didn’t.

We had a really smashing meal. Friendly staff with great service. I had a freshly made pizza which really hit the spot and a cute side salad with a lovely basil dressing. We were in the banquette at the front of the restaurant which was light and airy and the waiter adjusted the shutters so the sun wasn't too strong. The restaurant was full (Wednesday evening) and I noticed a lot of people choosing the pasta dishes, so maybe they were a speciality. I love places like this - really good, freshly made food at great prices. Our friends went to the chicken restaurant chain down the street - ours was miles better. Thank you everyone x

I almost didn't go here based on a negative review I had read. But I was short on time and hungry. I'm glad I did visit - sure it may not be EXACTLY what I would expect in Italy, but you are in Carlisle, and the food was great, the atmosphere was warm. Friendly and prompt service. I went for Tagliattele Alla Pescador. As a fussy pescatarian, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cheesecake (special) was also a delight. Good portions for the prices on all fronts.

A gem of a restaurant. Lovely, comfortable surroundings with a friendly, polite and lovely staff. Nice little touches, for example fresh roses on the tables, great music. Dog-friendly for dogs that don't bark in the restaurant. We had one starter, four pizzas and teo large glasses of wine. The pizzas were delicious. Reasonably prized. What a wonderful place to while away the afternoon. So relaxing. Definitely worth a visit!

Been here twice now and will be back. First time was December for their set Christmas menu, it was lovely. Been back today with 6 others everyone commented how nice our food was and that there was a good variety to choose from. I'd totally recommend trying here if you want tasty food. 3 courses and a drink cost me less than £30. I'd pay that every day for the quality.

La Mezzaluna never fails to impress. The food, service, the ambiance & the toilets ! The fact we ate here 3 times in one week recently speaks volumes. The produce is of an extremely high standard & the fillet steak could be cut with a teaspoon it is so tender. The lasagne is the best I’ve ever had. We have never had any dish & been disappointed. The staff are truly fabulous & so welcoming. Thank you Jane, Rachael, Rachael’s daughter, Cozmina, Elena for your continued high standards & the very talented chefs for producing such wonderful food. See you soon ☺️

We had our table booked for over a week with friends we hadn’t seen for along time. On arrival we gave our name and were told our table was upstairs. When arriving to our table we were in a room with a children’s party of around 20 kids. We could not hear ourselves speak. We asked the waitress to be moved but she said there was no room. It was an absolute nighmare . The food was ok but our steaks were not cooked to our liking. But we were that fed up of being in there we just payed and went. I think we should have been told on arrival that we would be with a kids party then we could have had the option to go somewhere else.

We love La Mezzaluna, everything about the place. Always a lovely warm welcome from the fabulous friendly staff, the surroundings, the beautiful toilets & most of all the amazing food! We had the festive menu (menu di natale) which was absolutely outstanding - well worthy of a Michelin Star in my opinion - hope to be back to try it again soon. Every course was cooked to perfection, washed down with a bottle of Prosecco & finished off with a couple of (now customary) Sambucas. Thank you all so much once again.

It was my first visit with friends on a Saturday evening. We made reservations as it's a small venue. The food was fabulous and filling, meaning there was no room for dessert. I opted for the TORTELLONI BOLOGNESE "Pockets of fresh pasta packed with a savoury meat filling accompanied with bolognese sauce." The facilities were very good and clean. There are steps up to the seating area, and the restrooms are located beyond and to the rear of the venue. There's outdoor seating available for the adventurous alfresco eaters.

This is 5 stars based on value 4 stars based on food an experience. The food is good. V good but lacks that extra wow factor ie vegetables on the side.... make them into crisps, fry them , roast them... they just put them on a separate plate Don't get me wrong they were cooked well. Just no wow factor. This is like top of the range Italian pub food and not fine dining. On the up side 2 starts including prawns, 2 mains, 4 soft drinks was £50 so stunning value

Food was absolutely wonderful and service was fast, efficient and very friendly. Only fault would be perhaps service was a little too fast and hectic. We were seated, and had 2 courses, paid and left within 45 minutes. Felt a bit like we were being rushed, but perhaps it was just the super speedy chefs at work in the back 😅 We must've been asked by 3 different waitresses what we would like to order after asking the first for 5 extra minutes to decide; but cannot fault the attentiveness of the staff. You needed something and they were there in seconds! It would've been nice to have had a little more time between our starter and main to sit and chat, and let everything go down first. We ended up boxing half our mains to go as we couldn't finish it all.

What a great find! the staff member who greeted & served us was very warm and friendly. Drinks (reasonably priced) were brought quickly and there was a good range of choices in all categories. The prawn/pancetta in creamy sauce starter was to die for. I had salmon risotto and my husband had salmon tagliatelle, both delicious and far too filling for us to manage a dessert!
