La Tavernetta in Craven

We visited while on holiday in the village after reading the reviews on here. The restaurant is small but didn’t feel awkward at all - just glad we booked! The pasta dishes were all delicious and everything was very reasonably priced. Lovely friendly waitress and atmosphere was perfect. Definitely give this place a visit if you’re staying in Ingleton!

A very small family run restaurant, but with a lovely intimate atmosphere. Lovely freshly made italian dishes - so it's not fast food, but well worth the wait.

An excellent find, recommended to us by friends. The delicious food, drinks and service are all superb, so much so that we dined here twice in a three night stay! This is a lovely authentic traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of Ingleton village, not to be missed!

A lovely little Italian restaurant with a limited number of tables so suggest booking to avoid being disappointed. The food was freshly cooked and is some of the best Italian food that we have eaten outside of Italy. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

We visited this restaurant on both nights of our two night stay in Ingleton. We enjoyed good freshly cooked pasta dishes with the mussels a particular favourite. Great atmosphere and good service.

Had a truly lovely meal here, the pasta was superb as was the garlic bread, great selection of wines and the desserts were amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend, brilliant birthday evening.

Really enjoyed the food at this tiny restaurant. So many unusual things on the specials board. Highly recommended, and would certainly book again if in the area.

Been to this Restaurant about 4 times this Summer, Great restaurant tucked away, Food,Service and drinks all spot on....Hence to say we're going again!! Top chef is Antonio delicious food!!

My husband and I visited La Tavernetta on Saturday night and are so pleased we did. Both of us were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and how reasonably priced it was. We shared a bruschetta to start, which was delicious and very filling. For mains, my partner had the wild boar ravioli from the special board, which was very flavoursome and I had the salmon penne, which was divine. The restaurant itself is teeny but a welcoming space and we didn’t feel pressured or rushed in any way. The staff were attentive and friendly. While dining we saw many walk-in customers being turned away due to the restaurant being fully booked, so booking on weekends is clearly necessary. We will 100% be booking again next time we are in the area.

We had a lovely family meal here. Great service and fantastic food. Some of the best pasta I’ve had in ages. Make sure you book though as very small and often full at weekends in summer I think.

The absolute best Italian food I’ve had outside Italy. The food was literally incredible. What we really liked was that it wasn’t too rich, just carefully and deliciously cooked. We had bread with an excellent olive tapenade, calamari, mussels and garlic mushrooms to start. Then steak and truffle pasta, lobster ravioli and pasta primavera. All of them were amazing. The portions were perfect. The restaurant itself is super cute with kids drawings on the walls and authentic Italian art work. The service was also fab- super chill but very attentive. We waited for nothing. I can’t stress enough how much this place is worth a visit. It was just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thanks so much! - shout out to the waitress with the blonde hair who worked Thursday 27th June- you were awesome. Really grateful for a great night out.

Had a really great meal here . Plenty of choice . Liked the fact you can choose your pasta and sauce separately .the olives were amazing !

We couldn't fault any aspect of our evening there...a gorgeous, intimate setting, amazing authentic menu and outstanding Italian food. Great value, and absolutely delicious.

Despite booking the restaurant on 20 April and confirming 3 May we turned up tonight to be told we had not got a reservation by the rude and arrogant owner who doesn’t confirm his bookings either by email nor text.

A gem of an Italian. It has a cosy feel, there are only a few tables, but the food is exceptional. I had a pasta dish from the specials board, but I can't remember the name, but it is one of the best pasta dishes I've ever tasted. We finished off with a Sherry and coffee, a nice end to a lovely meal. Highly recommended if you stop in Ingleton.

Love this restaurant, have been a number of times and never disappointed. Specials board is always a favourite and you are spoilt for choice. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, great service, recommend booking, looking forward to our next visit when in Ingleton.

We’ve eaten here a few times before but it is worth mentioning that the standard of food and service has never dipped below a 5 star rating. Always been served by polite staff who are chatty, even when the restaurant is busy. The chef / owner will take the time (if he can) to come and chat to customers. The food he delivers is always top notch, never had a poor meal. Give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed.

We booked a week in advance having been informed that the place is only small. Thankfully there was a table for two spare at 6.30 on a Sunday evening. The place was full on arrival and we saw people being turned away. After a friendly welcome and a hint to take a photo of the specials board as it's quite comprehensive we were shown to our table. There was some delicious sounding specials so we opted for two pasta dishes and a tricolor garlic bread all to be served at the same time. The food was absolutely delicious and two happy customers had a nice walk back to our B&B nearby.

Was in ingleton for a night and decided to eat here. Fantastic little restaurant with only a few seats. I had mushrooms to start followed by calzoni for of amazing quality. Will be back

Really lovely food. Perfect portion sizes. One of the favourite meals we have had in a long time. Good Friendly staff. Great little find in Ingleton.

Small but beautiful restaurant . Intimate surroundings. Excellent food. Great service. Genuine Italian hospitality.

First time here. Staying in Ingleton and this is a great little gem of an Italian restaurant. A great main menu and specials board. The restaurant is small, so book if you are going at a weekend/busy time. Food is delicious and great to see a restaurant like this thriving in the dales.

Amazing food, the menu was extensive, with tapas specials and all the traditional Italian food too. Great atmosphere, friendly and cosy. Crispy belly pork was amazing, pasta mains too!! Would definitely come back.

Ordinarily this would be a five star review. This restaurant is one of my favourites, it’s a lovely little place and the food is delicious, which is why my husband booked a table for my birthday last Sunday for us and two friends. We had travelled to Ingleton and were staying over specially for that night. We walked past the restaurant earlier in the evening and saw guests eating there, so when we returned at our booking time, 8.30pm, imagine our disappointment to find it closed, with all the lights off. Pubs nearby had all stopped serving food so we had my birthday meal in the kebab shop. I would dearly love to know the reason why my reservation was ignored/ forgotten/cancelled.

Last night we had an absolutely fantastic meal! This is my favourite restaurant and I wanted to take our annual Dad's Christmas night out there, to show them how good it is, and it didn't disappoint. They were wonderfully accommodating of our group which was full of Christmas cheer (and a bit of boisterous enthusiasm - apologies for that!). The service was friendly, patient and efficient. The cooking, was, as I complimented to the very hardworking chef, 'off the scale". My Nduja infused pasta (orecchiette) was umami heaven, and the chicken with chestnuts and Marsala sauce was one of the best mains I've eaten for a long time. The combination of flavours was perfect. In fact, the 'hybrid' English Christmas/Italian specials menu was so tempting - I would have liked to try everything on there. Thank you for a special night and I will be back soon, as I suspect will a number of my friends.

What a gem! An amazing cosy restaurant with high quality, well presented authentic food. If I lived nearer, I would go every week! Lovely staff and excellent service. Highly recommended.

We both had a smashing night food was fab couldn't fault anything, drinks reasonably priced we had garlic mushrooms on brusceta and chicken wings starter and meat ball tagliatelli and pasta carbonara beltin

Fantastic-highly recommended. The food was beautiful-so tasty, authentic Italian. Great atmosphere in such a tiny restaurant-we have just returned from Italy and it felt as if we were back there! We had burrata, pizza, pasta, seafood-everything was great! Lovely friendly staff. Would suggest you book ahead as places are limited. Overall…..fantastic!

We were recommended to come here while on holiday in Ingleton. Such lovely food and great atmosphere. Shame we were not here longer as we would have come back. We could literally have been in Italy!

We were on holiday in the Dales and came across this place by chance. What a find! Very small (6 tables) in a lovely village. The food was amazing. All 3 courses were excellent and the wine (from a very short list) was also spot-on. The service was very pleasant and the owner/chef made time to come and chat to us. So impressed with the standard of the food that we came back again 2 days later... We were not disappopinted. Heartily recommend for authentic Italion cooking. Bravo

Staying in Settle we had intended to eat at the Game Cock Inn but they are currently closed and we asked them where they would go to for a meal and they gave us one recommendation - La Tavernetta. It is tiny so booking recommended. I am GF but there were plenty of options which isn't always the case with Italian. The helpings are good and the service relaxed presumably due to everything being prepared once ordered. The wine list isn't huge but of good quality. We live a long way away but if we were passing or in the area again we would definitely eat here. Just over £35 per head inc wine.

Had the Wednesday deal which consisted of a pizza plus either a glass of wine or a beer for just...

Had a meal here last minute. They booked us in and we had laughs and jokes whilst they served us...

Visited and enjoyed a lovely meal (mushroom risotto and pasta bolognaise) - very tasty, good drinks menu and friendly host....

my wife and I went here for an evening meal. the food was great and the service was very good....

Quite late for our booking due to 3 peaks challenge...table for 4 waiting for us...chef fully understood. Front of house...

The pizza here is amazing i couldnt ask for better food. Its such a shame its over 200 miles away...

When visiting the area we were told about this little Italian Restaurant in town. Given we love this sort of food we headed here on our first night. This is a really small restaurant, only about 5 tables.

Having had a nightmare the day before with M-spice

Just wanted to say what a wonderful friendly and accommodating little restaurant this is. It may be typical of the kind of hospitality you are given generally in Ingleton but I feel I need to give particular mention to La Tavernetta for a delightful evening.

A lovely little small restaurant in the centre of Ingleton. They seemed to be doing an excellent trade in take away food as well. We hadn't booked but managed to get a table on Sunday evening but it was busy and I would recommend booking as they don't have a lot of tables.

This was a unique experience in a small restaurant. Our waiter was a delight, the food freshly cooked and tasty, the chef/owner was passionate about her restaurant. Overall it was an enjoyable evening - you need to book in advance - closed Monday and Tuesday.

Went here for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were welcomed in to a lovely family run business. Already booked for next April 14th. Elaine's food is great and her family so fun. Service is so personal they make you feel like you are the only people there. Even when you only leave the restaurant at 1am. Cant wait to go back and see Elaine, John (Elvis) and Lisa.Jon and Kate O'Hagan x

Don't expext to get either authentic Italian dishes or food of a high standard. The menu is far from extensive or remotely Italian with only 1 pasta dish, homemade Spag Bol! We had pizzas, sadly they were undercooked, doughy, far too thick and not partuclarly tasty!A bottle of wine was over £20 and quite poor quality so did little to soften the blow of a dissapoiting meal. Greater range of price, quality and variety much needed.On a more postive note however, The waiter, a real charecter, had a great rapport with diners and the owner/chef is very enthusiastic and passionate, never before had I been asked if I wanted ice in my wine or beer!I am no Gordon Ramsey but the amount of dough on our pizzas would have made 6 not 2, the range of meals should include more Italian mainsays, many of which are simplicity to make and in particular, starters such as mozzarella, salami, breads and oils with balsamic or focaccia or an assortment of veggy antipasti.It certainly could,however, have a great deal more to offer, building upon the atmosphere especially, which is warm and inviting, in such a small place you literally sit shoulder to shoulder with your fellow diners and this adds to the warn cosy feel.If the current owners sample a few of the other local Italian eateries, even as far as Windermere or Bowness restaurants, as a form of comparison the lessons they could learn couyld transform thier little place into a gem! I hope that they do as we woukld be back on a regular basis, I wish them all the very best.I know thety have been instrumental in putting Ingelton on the map for WW2 events and are to be appauded for their community spirit and enterprise, we do wish them well in thier endeavours. We look forward to coming back to see if any changes have taken place!

Went twice last week and the food was fab. Spaghetti bol pasta was yummy so had it 2 days on the trot. Definitely recommend it.

During our time in Ingleton we were looking for somewhere different to eat, that would suit all members if our party, as one wont eat anything that is "foreign food". This restaurant suited us because they had something for all. It is small, and I would think family run, so if you are expecting Piccolinos then dont. Judge it for what it is. We had a very nice meal, with some lovely home made coleslaw, good service, some healthy banter and the bill was very reasonable. It was good food at a good price, with a variety to suit most tastes. That's good enough for me. Having travelled around various place over the past fortnight there is far worse out there!

Second time I've had a pizza now and loved it.Had the Capriciossa both times and had plenty of salami, ham and huge olives on it.

Before heading to Ingleton, I did my research and readily identified La Tavernetta as one of the 'must eat there' places.Before popping in last night, I noticed the two very poor reviews added recently which didn't fit at all well with others.Having now eaten there, I must add I am deeply sceptical of those reviews.My wife had one of the specials, chicken and sausage risotto and I settled for a pizza (I forget the name, sorry). They were both gorgeous. Hot, fresh and tasty.The only quibble I would have with the pizza is that it was a little too heavy on the toppings for my taste but I know many people like a ' fully-loaded' pizza, I will concede this detracted marginally from the authenticity.The bottled beers were a tad pricy but where isn't this the case? Yes, the place is compact but what on earth is to be expected in this neck of the woods.If we were staying longer, there is absolutely no question we would return and try something else from their very tempting menu.I'd like to add that the staff were cheery, friendly and had the perfect level of attentiveness.

This is the worst Italian food I've ever experienced. Salmon pasta with lemon and dill was bland in the extreme and very watery. Partners broccoli pasta was boiled pasta with tonnes of cheese on top and pizza was doughy and heavy with cheese. A shame as the staff were lovely and Ingleton is a beautiful village. Would not recommend.

Wine.... Overpriced cheap wine,. Choice.... Very limitedItalian...... No not reallyAn expensive basic cafe with no atmosphere. Pizzas expensive to eat in , take away price acceptable. Portions small, no frills........ Better look aElsewhere . if you want a romantic italian meal.....sorry.... Won't be back

Great to see more food options in Ingleton, great pizza cheers guys , I will be back again for more

Great Pizza, Great service, Great value.....what else does one want! Oh, lovely stilton stuffed mushrooms to start too!

Visited Ingleton again and always loved this place! it's lovely to see this place open again! We stayed in Ingleton for a long weekend after our long drive on the Friday night we wanted something quick to eat and got a takeaway pizza which was very delicious and lots to choose from, we liked it so much we decided to see if we could book a table for the following night and we sat in and again lots to choose from, lovely staff, a beautiful wine list and good value for money we will be coming again!!

Was looking for a take out pizza place around ingleton area and desided to try here as ive never eaten here before, i live about a 5 min walk away from the tavernetta bearing in mind i drove home by the time id got home it was stone cold and wasnt even cut up like a TAKE OUT pizza should be, under cooked and had a horrible taste to it, will certainly never recomend to anyone, expected better from a restaurant to be honest, very disapointed.

I recently visited la tavernetta after hearing that it was under new management. I was very optimistic but was incredibly disappointed. The first issue I had when I opened the box was my takeaway pizza wasn't sliced which makes it very hard to eat, but that was the least of my problems. My pizza was burnt at the edges yet soggy in the middle, the pepperoni and salami on top were honestly so over cooked that they were hard. The chicken was chewy and the whole pizza was greasy. After the box being open about 5 minutes the pizza was cold. I am not going there again and would persuade anyone considering it to avoid it. A waste of money for what I got.

Love Italian food so decided to try La Tavernetta. So pleased we did. Food was delicious and reasonably good value. Staff were attentive and looked after us well. Small but excellent choice of real ale. The ginger sponge was the best! Will definitely call again when in Ingleton.

We've been visiting Ingleton for several decades and finding somewhere to eat out was always a challenge. When La Tavernetta opened several years ago, it was a little gem of a place but the quality of the food did slide in the last couple of years. We started our holiday on the day that the restaurant re-opened under new management so we booked ourselves for the following Friday. It's a cosy, friendly place with a varied menu. The takeout side of the business was doing a roaring trade whilst we were there which was great to see. The pizzas were delicious and the blue cheese gnocchi was genuinely the nicest blue cheese sauce I've had, it was perfectly seasoned. I'm glad we can continue to give business to a local family run business. Ingleton has gone through some tricky patches over the years but a few more businesses with the same approach as La Tavernetta will see it through.

We had 4 pizzas on our visit to Ingleton and they were very tasty. We ordered a take away which took a hour to cook but well worth the wait. It is just a shame the owners are retiring at the end of this week.

A lovely meal, expertly prepared by Peppe. All food authentically italian. The restaurant is very small with only about five tables, so is a cosy atmosphere.Food excellent and the waitress was efficiient and helpful.

This restaurant was a real find on our walking holiday making a change from mass produced pub food. The cooking was great and authentically Italian. There are only 5 tables and only two other people in on a Wednesday night in winter, but service was friendly and we had a great evening. Sad to hear the owners are retiring.

Wow what a great little place this was. Had a great meal here on Saturday night (27/2) It's only a small venue with 5 tables & you can't book! Despite there only being a few people in (for the time of year I assume) it took a while to be served but we weren't in rush so didn't complain.The menu is very well set out & has a good selection. You have some options available for those with a smaller appetite which worked well for the other half. We both had pasta & it was perfectly cooked. The sauce was tasty & there was enough to satisfy. I had to garlic bread too & this was amazing. Highly recommend this place

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday night 7th November. Pizzas are always perfect & my wife's pasta meal was delicious. Highly recommended

Popped in here during half term - what a find - authentic italian cooking! Superb! We shared a meat starter and pizza topped bread, followed by Smoked Salmon tagliatelle with cream and vodka sauce, my husband had the rib eye with tomato, garlic, mushroom and onion sauce - he said it was so tender he could have cut it with a butter knife! Washed down with a bottle of house Rose - excellent evening. Would highly recommend but do bear in mind tables can't be booked so first come first served or wait for later.

This small Italian restaurant in Ingleton is a little 'gem'. I would advise to arrive early to avoid disappointment as the restaurant only has five tables (seating for approx 14 people). The food is all cooked to order but is well worth the wait!! I would recommend this restaurant when you are next in Ingleton.

Very small, approx. five tables don't take bookings but the food is really good, one mishap only with Calzone outside burnt inside freezing cold

Last minute decision to pop in and have dinner. Well worth it. We shared starters - mushrooms and garlic bread then both had Calzone - gorgeous. Only had a glass of house red wine but wish we had had a bottle.

This tiny restaurant, no bookings, is well worth an early visit to get a table. Very intimate atmosphere, good authentic food, we enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

This place is tiny! Only 5 tables and does a great take away service but we sat in and had a great, authentic Italian meal. I had the chicken in marsala and mushroom sauce and it was honestly the best sauce I have ever tasted and told them so. It is so reasonably priced too. Couldn't believe it. A little treasure.

Please note that we love the pizza but please can the staff make sure they slice the takeaway pizzas!!! We took ours to eat in the car with a nice view but it wasn't sliced and struggled!!But we would definitely recommend to anyone... best pizza around!!

small tabled area so get there handy opens 6 ish i think to get a table.no bookings taken.excellent food .decent vino.and if you dont want to eat in can get takeaway pizza.what more could you ask for

We visited this restaurant over the bank holiday weekend after reading all the glowing reviews and were really disappointed with the quality of the food. It's nice inside and although small has a nice atmosphere even without any music but that didn't change our opinion once the food arrived. We could have made nicer tasting dishes ourselves. Most of the great reviews are about how nice the pizzas are so we are sorry we didn't go for that now. Pasta was bland and steak was too. Chips weren't bad. We would not return.

Tasty fresh takeaway pizza, generous toppings, made to order in 15-20 mins. We went back the next eve as well! The restaurant is tiny (seats 16) and they don't take bookings but I would def wait to eat in next time.

We were hungry one night and so decided to get a takeaway from La Tavernetta the local italian.This was not the first time I have been so I had a good Idea of what to expect (AKA amazingly gorgeous pizza). Upon ordering we waited the twenty minutes until we were to collect our pizzas then walked up to the restaurant. The staff were amazing and gave us our pizzas immediately which were toasty warm and smelt divine. You could see the pizzas being made which included a traditional wood fired oven WOW! the restaurants atmosphere was gorgeous with deluxe eating in facilities. After we walked home we gobbled down our pizzas, every bite was amazing with the Italian sauce and dough. It was definitely the best pizza I have ever had! All in all the restaurant was fab, the service was amazing and the food was gobsmackingly gorgeously amazingly yummy! We will DEFINITELY be coming back.

I'm torn.We enjoyed the food and everyone raves about this place but being a busy restaurant and takeaway and only having one waitress dealing with all this isn't an appropriate excuse for poor service. One more member of staff could have made all the difference.We were seated and it was around 35 minutes before our order was taken. In this time the adjacent table were complaining that they had ordered a bottle of wine but had received only a glass each and we noticed another table who had been seated give up and leave. It was starting to look/feel like a fiasco.We had garlic mushrooms and a pizza each, we were in there for just shy of 2 hours, and with 3 330ml bottles* of Peroni each the bill was over £40, which I didn't feel represented particularly good value for money.We agreed we'd probably have takeaway in future but not sit in.*These were served in half pint glasses, so wondered where the rest went!

Regularly make the 20mile round trip for take-away pizza.Always fabulous !!.Tasted pizza all over the country,and nothing comes close.A truly wonderful restaurent with lovely staff and owners.

Cuestión de paciencia. Sí. Dadas las condiciones del establecimiento hacer una crítica rigurosa resultaría imprudente. Me explico: Lugar que abre solo por la cena. Este restaurante dispone de solo cinco pequeñas mesas. Por tanto es complicado comer, y especialmente para un español, que suele cenar más tarde de lo habitual en esta zona de Inglaterra. Dicho lo imposible de nuestros intentos, logramos llevar a casa unas pizzas que resultaron atractivas al paladar, sin que fueran una porcion exquisita del producto italiano. La mas convincente la denominada "pizza tres picos", haciendo alusion a la jornada de senderismo, de 40 kms., que el personal aficionado suele hacer para pasar por los tres picos montañosos de la zona -Ingleboroung, uno de ellos en Ingleton-. Con estos miembres pocos cestos puedes hacer. No nos pareció que la masa fuera de estupenda hornada, ni que el producto no fuese de calidad y frescura.

Very small but welcoming little Italian that suited our needs perfectly: you need to book in advance.

This place makes some of the best pizzas I have ever tasted! Made by the owner on the premises using a traditional wood-fired oven. A great base and a variety of tasty toppings. Really lovely and good value compared with the well known pizza chains.

Very small restaurant that does not take bookings. Tables can be arranged to suit. We sampled the Pasta and it did not disappoint, food was very nice, service not fast but friendly bearing in mind food is cooked to order. The take out side of the business is constant so obviously well regarded..Recommended.

My boyfriend and I just went there had their unique pizza (which you can't get anywhere else) for dinner. My god, THEY WERE DELICIOUS. We were lucky to get a table. The place is small and cozy. Great food and good service. I'm glad we went there. It's a shame we can't go there again since we're continuing our journey to Scotland the next morning. We took half of my pizza which I couldn't finish though, simply too delicious to leave it behind. You should definitely try this place and see for yourself. Fairly reasonable price too.

Me and my boyfriend have recently moved to the area and wanted to try out the local restaurants. We have previously been spoiled by the abundance of great restaurants in Manchester so to be honest we weren't expecting much from a very small Italian in a village. Boy were we wrong to assume! I ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. My boyfriend ordered the 3 peaks pizza and also commented on how delicious it was. The value for money is brilliant!It is very small so I would recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment as you cannot book. We will most certainly be back to try out the rest of the menu.

Very small premises and tables can't be booked. However, if you can get in, the food is excellent. The Peroni went down well after completing the 3 Yorkshire Peaks. This is not a high class intimate place but the food and atmosphere have much to recommend it.

This has to be the smallest Italian restaurant we have eaten in, you can't reserve tables we were lucky and got the last table the food was really good, and the wine good too. A real must if you can get a table.

After seeing good reviews we decided to go here. We went in and saw there was just 1 table left out of maybe 5-6 in total. The waitress showed us to the table and flung the menus on the table and walked off. We began to view the menu and after waiting longer than I feel was acceptable to be offered a drink or any other sort of acknowledgement we decided to get up and leave. Shame as although the starters were limited to basically bread or salad the food could actually have been good. Shame about the service.

We have been having take away Pizzas from this restaurant for many years, and the Pizzas are always very good.

Excellent food at great prices, really nice small place, first come first served, can see the Italian chef busy making your meal, like the fact you can't book, you've just got to be lucky!

We were recommended to visit this little hole in the wall Italian restaurant in Ingletonby locals whilst staying in the Dales.You cannot book they work on a first come first seated basis but it is a very welcoming with a good atmosphere and good service.It is so small you can see your food being cooked in front of you, very authentic Italian with a relatively small menu, but the food was very good and would visit again when in the area.

If you go to Ingleton, you have to go here and order the 3 Peaks Pizza! It's a little like a calzone with three pockets of different filling. We were unsure at first, but didn't regret it!

We were tipped to this restaurant by locals. It is quite small, so we were fortunate to arrive just before evening opening, and were seated promptly. There was a line when we left. The menu is relatively small (a good thing, in my opinion) and the dishes were not just the "same old Italian." There is a creative chef at work here. Even the pizzas are different. Also, the server was very courteous and helpful. It was worth the few minutes wait in the rain.

Found this lovely little place. It's not big but was very welcoming with friendly service. The food was good too. Would definitely visit again !

Admittedly it was an out of season visit but it was a cold and unwelcoming atmosphere. The salad was far from Italian, I've had better Italian salads at home. The pizza was a soggy thick crust one and very English not Italian. I suppose they are cooking what's likely to sell in Ingleton, not the most cosmopolitan of places! If you are expecting authentic Italian, which is what they advertise, don't bother, go to Kendal to Paulo Gianni's.

Lovely authentic Italian! Don't let the window put you off, it opens at 6pm & only seats 14 so you need to be there when they open to get a table as do not take bookings. There was a good choice of Pizzas & pasta on the menu with a children's option of anything on menu just smaller portion & a side & a pudding for £7. As everyone arrived at same time the waitress served table by table & did not rush us even though people were waiting for a table. Open till 9.30. The pizza was amazing & as they do takeout will be returning later in the week! My little boy had a 4 cheese pasta & his words "the best cheesy pasta ever!!!!"

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Ingleton and found this little Italian restaurant and thought we'd give it a try. The window menu display looked somewhat bizarre and not in keeping but the service and food and welcome certainly dispelled any further concerns once we were inside. Very small inside but very busy and always a good sign. The young waitress was friendly and efficient and the food was freshly prepared in sight of our table. They also operate a takeaway pizza service which also kept the staff busy and is obviously very popular with the locals. The chef is the owner and obviously very accomplished in his craft. One to recommend and probably the best place to eat in Ingleton.

Went with wife and daughters after long days walking. Arrived at 545 to be third group in the queue- important as only 14 seats in the place. One waitress deals with all tables as well as taking take away orders and plate clearing but she coped very well. Regular take away orders going out the door so clearly popular with locals too. Kids menus very well priced with no drop in pizza authenticity nor ingredients . Kids ice cream came in a cow shaped holder which they loved and took away with them. My diavola pizza was excellent- fresh ingredients and hand pulled base. Great value for money and real treat to support an independent family business

We were a party of 3 needing sustenance after a 9 hour walk in the hills,this was a perfect choice.We had 3 starters and then pizzas,mine was the seafood pizza with added chillies,the topping was superb,with plenty of seafood and a nice bite,ans was an excellent size,base was possibly a little thickWe shared the house white wine which was good value,and very drinkableThere was one girl dealing with takeaways and the restaurant customers,she managers this extremely well,our service on a busy Saturday night was excellent.

Tiny restaurant which doesn't take bookings so arrive early! It doesn't look much inside or out but don't let that put you off. Many pizza/pasta places serve little more than microwave food. La Tavernetta is much more authentic. Best Spag Bol I have ever had!

My husband has just come back from Ingleton and he really enjoyed the Pizza's here that are known for the special of the Three Peaks Pizza.

What can you dislike about this fantastic authentic lovely cosy restaurant. Lovely, cosy, good service and excellent good quality pizzas which we could not eat all of it and provided us with pack up on our walk the next day. shame is not very big, but this adds to the character. perfect

Went here for my partners birthday. We both had a starter and a main. Wouldn't recommend either of the chicken dishes, quite simple and quite expensive for what you get. Wouldn't go again.

Called in here for takeaway pizzas while visiting Ingleton for Le Tour.Cant comment on the restaurant but the pizzas were excellent with lovely fresh thin dough bases.I can't remember what mine was called but it was basically an all day breakfast on a pizza base.Delicious,would recommend.
