La Tavernetta in Craven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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!!

Absolutely beautiful food and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Had such a lovely evening, thank you.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. We will definitely be back 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

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.

What a wonderful little place. Best Italian food we have eaten in years. Will 100% be returning when we are next 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.

We arrived on the dot of 6pm and ordered drinks. Then a table of 5 arrived who not only got drinks but the waitress took their food order. So we had to wait until their food was ready before we could order food. It was a 50 minute wait altogether for our food to arrive. The pasta I had was very nice but cost £17 for 5 pieces in a sauce that tasted suspiciously like Aldi's tomato and mascarpone sauce.

Best pasta we’ve had from an Italian restaurant anywhere. Great little place. Friendly staff spot on.

Fantastic food in an authentic bijou setting

A really enjoyable meal freshly cooked in a rustic atmosphere, with caring, attentive but not overbearing staff. One place not to miss if you are nearby. Priced amazingly well for the fare you got.

Great food, great atmosphere, never fails to deliver.

Best italian food outside Italy x

Superb food , great atmosphere, brilliant service and loved it. Had really good risotto , full of flavour and was genuinely perfect.... thank you and already booked for Aug

Top quality food, really excellent experience and a vast array of choices.

Booked a table for four. Sunday 26/5. Started off with mussels and Tomato/Garlic bread...Followed by pasta dishes..The food was tasty and cooked to perfection. The meal was followed by sherry and coffee. One of the best Italians we have tasted Great location..Friendly staff...Recommended

Excellent choice of pasta and pizza dishes with authentic ingredients Only a small restaurant so booking is essential

A real gem! I arrived in Ingleton on a Friday night and was able to ring and book a table for an hour's time. The service is friendly, and the restaurant is decorated with family photos and drawings by the owner's children, creating a cosy atmosphere. The menu is extensive and I enjoyed a couple of starters, a vegetarian lasagne from the specials board, and tiramisu gelato - all were delicious and well presented. They prefer cash payment, which I didn't have, but I nipped next door to the coop to withdraw some. I enjoyed my visit so much that I returned the next night to try a pizza, which was also good, but not as special as the lasagne. La Tavernetta seems to be a regular treat for the locals, and is well worth a visit while staying in Ingleton!

Great little place, fantastic food,prepared and cooked with love. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. LOVED IT

Excellent food, great atmosphere

Excellent meal and very reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend

We have been here a number of times and everything from the food to the service has been consistently exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending La Tavernetta for authentic Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere

Cosy, authentic and great Italian food

Chef is obsessed with the door being closed ffs, We booked last weekend for tonight and was told we hadn’t when we turned up at 6.45 all the way from Liverpool You know how and when we booked

Delightful meal this evening. Antonio prepared an impromptu tapas menu for us, which was delicious and varied. The service was glorious. Had a lovely evening and can’t wait to come back!

Delicious and authentic Italian food. Really good!!

Cute little place with delicious food. I really enjoyed the calzone and the freshly made pasta. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. The service was good despite a Christmas dinner party at another table. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food. First class service. Worth every penny Daughter in laws birthday. Stunning facilities, awesome atmosphere, food phenomenal

Great meal. Great staff. Will be back!

Very good food and service however the restaurant is quite small and can feel a tad crowded but don't let that put you off ! Because of the limited covers & popularity I strongly recommend booking well in advance especially in the holiday season!

Went for a celebratory family dinner; cosy table for eight. Great food, lovely atmosphere and chef/owner Antonio in very good form. Finished off with limoncello. Great night. Would not hesitate to recommend a visit, but book beforehand.

Small but well cooked food. Friendly personal service

Lovely little place with a great menu. The food was delicious. Particularly enjoyed mixed bruschetta starter. Negative points were no card reader and no coffee. The Churros were particularly good, nice crème brûlée but unfortunately too small for My appetite! Highly recommend and we would of returned for a second visit but fully booked.

We brought family to eat here, including my son's Nepalese parents-in-law who speak no English, and the whole experience was very good. The antipesto and two following courses were all excellent (we even tasted each other's dishes!) -the memorable comment from Kal, my daughter-in-law, was that the mussels and prawns were the best-cooked that she has eaten in her life!

Excellent food and a friendly atmosphere.

A hidden gem authentic traditional italian food. Perfection.

Absolutely amazing food! The best in Ingleton and the staff can't do enough for you. Highly recommended.

If I could give 6 stars I would. From the first time we walked through the door we were greeted and treated amazingly. Excellent small location with the chef coming out and seeing the guests. Food was out of this world , all freshly cooked and great atmosphere. Just perfect.

Very very average food. Actually the king prawns in the spicy sauce were nice, so credit where credit is due, but in my opinion it’s massively overpriced. Twenty quid for a slightly overdone 10” tuna and onion pizza is pushing the boundaries of taking the Michael. They’ll survive due to the footfall. I wouldn’t go back.

Small and authentic with excellent food. However, notified on arrival that it was cash only and there was a cash point at the Co op next door. Inconvenient. You have to wonder why, particularly when there is no bank in the village.

Booked in this evening for 2014 got a text saying bit of a problem and could we dine at 630 pm suited us . Now for the food so fabulous how Thst guy even cooks in such a tiny space is beyond me . Every course we had three each was amazing . No New Zealand Sauvignon bit disappointed but took the Pinot Grigio which was okay . Waitress very friendly and attentive . Second visit here won’t be our last for sure .

We will definitely back. Everything about this place was fantastic. The food was excellent, I had arancini and crab ravioli, both stunning and my other half had cod goujons and wild boar pasta...😋 The atmosphere is great and the service was spot on. 👌

Such a amazing place , delicious 🤤👌

Make sure to call and book ahead to avoid disappointment! We had a lovely meal at La Tavernetta on Friday evening! They have a wonderful menu, with lots of scrumptious options including for those requiring vegetarian/gluten free! There is a lovely cosy atmosphere and friendly service! A must-dine experience for anyone visiting Ingleton!

We visited La Tavernetta for dinner while holidaying in Ingleton, and are so pleased to have visited. Ingleton punches above its weight in that it has a top quality Italian restaurant, in addition to many other restaurants and attractions. The food at La Tavernetta was excellent. The menu choices were impressive, especially the seafood options. However, we opted for one of the many vegetarian dishes. We ordered one of at least twelve different types of pasta on offer, and a pizza. The pasta sauce and the sun-dried tomato pizza topping deserve special mention, so deep and juicy were their flavour. We indulged in tiramisu and ice cream for dessert. The tiramisu was the best my wife had ever tasted, while I relished my raspberry sundae-style ice ice cream. La Tavernetta was rather small inside. Advance booking is essential to avoid disappointment. The interior decision was thoughtful, and transports you to Italy. The service was good. While food was a little slow, this is expected for an family-run establishment, and the food was well worth the wait. Overall, we had an amazing time at La Tavernetta, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone!

It was 25 minutes from being seated before our drinks order was taken..our food took 55 minutes to arrive. 1 member of staff serving...the food as ever is excellent. 2 mature couples on another table were chatting, laughing and enjoying themselves the chef/owner told them to keep the noise down as their were tourists in the flat above and they would complain...it was 21:40 !!! We ordered a coffee at 9:30 to be told there would be a wait as the coffee machine had been turned off. We have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions....we will not be back. On expressing our issues with the owner they were not accepted in a professional manner. On leaving we left the door open to allow the young lady outside to enter...the owner thought it appropriate & professional to bellow down the street after us! We understand that service can be busy, however it is polite and professional to communicate that to a client on entering the restaurant....very bad service and attitudes that really spoil what could be fabulous.

This is our favourite Italian restaurant, Antonio is the perfect host, his food is cooked with love, the restaurant is cosy and the service is perfect. We are so lucky to have this wonderful venue on our doorstep.

A very disappointing experience.I booked a table for friends and my husband as last year had a wonderful meal with my daughter the atmosphere was amazing. Unfortunately tonight the atmosphere was awful ,the service was slow having to wait over half an hour before even...

A small intimate venue. First class food with excellent service. A good variety of food to choose from and it is all freshly cooked to a high standard. Initially was not too impressed with the decor, but having spent a couple of hours there it...

Fantastic menu choice and taste Went with a few friends while on a day trip to Ingleton (booked well in advance). Thoroughly recommend.

Visited our favourite little Italian in the beautiful Ingleton village last night, it never disappoints with atmosphere and delicious authentic Italian cuisine, thank you Antonio see you again soon

We were on holiday in Ingleton, and wanted to celebrate our grandson's 16th birthday. I am disabled and the whole experience could not have been bettered. The place is tiny, but as everything is cooked to order, this worked well. Couldn't fault the food, the...

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here as it was recommended by our hosts at Thornbrook barn. We had the most delicious meal - we don't often push the boat out with 3 courses but this was difficult to resist. There is attention to detail with every course and our hot starters of arancini and cod goujons were followed by the tortelloni pasta and pizza and topped off with chocolate fudge and the ice cream with amaretti. It's such a cosy and personal space so we already are hoping to come again when we are travelling north or south. Thankyou for such a memorable evening.

Lovely cosy restaurant would recommend booking due to the size of the seating!! The food was good, and as described on the menu. Would recommend avoiding the starters and going for a desert instead. The homemade strawberry cheesecake looked amazing on another table! As we had starters and main didn’t have room for desert. The staff were friendly and welcoming!

Best pizza I've ever had! Stunning food here, we visited last night (2 adults and 2 kids) and it was excellent. I had the 4 salami pizza which was delicious. My kids had a pizza each and a bowl of pasta to share. My wife had the mozzarella pasta bake with peas and mushrooms. Thankfully she saved me a little and it was so good! Highly recommended this place

Really great food at a reasonable price, staff are really friendly and keen to be of service

Stunning little italian in the heart of Ingleton, food was some of the best I have tasted the staff were very friendly and helpful, booking in advance at the weekend especially is a must, definitely worth a visit and highly recommended.

We’ve been a few times, the food is absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked, traditional Italian. You have to book as it’s a small place. The staff are always wonderful too.

Best pasta I've ever had, service was lovely and beautiful atmosphere. The portion sizes were perfect and the food quality was incredible. Really fair prices too, will definitely be eating here again.

What a wonderful spot! We were treated to some absolutely gorgeous pasta and pizza, with some of the best bread I've had to start, by La Travernetta. This little spot has a big punch, and I truly recommend coming to try some incredible house made Italian. If we're ever in town, we'll definitely come again! Thank you!

We only recently discovered this restaurant and then ate there twice in one week. The food is incredible, full of flavour and very fresh. Treat yourself and BOOK!

THE best pizza I've ever had, lovely little place and such friendly staff.

Fantastic meal, loads of choice including plenty of vegetarian options. Delicious starters, pasta and pizza, and puddings. All topped off with great service. Highly recommended.

Visited for the first time last night whilst staying in Ingleton for a few days. Lovely authentic restaurant and our waitress was friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely gorgeous and probably the best pizza I have ever had - we will definitely return - thank you 😊

The food was fabulous. The service was greet , though the place was very small and don’t think it’s a good place to bring your kids😅.

Last night of our mini-moon, we had a nice meal. Food was okay, bruschetta starter very salty, spaghetti bolognese was lovely. Staff were friendly and efficient. Just one server in a small space and did really well. Unfortunately, I did get very ill that night after eating here. Not sure if it was the bruschetta or the spaghetti. Very unfortunate way to end our mini-moon. Maybe I should have just had pizza like my husband as he was fine!

Italian cuisine cooked with love. Booked in advance as a first time customer purely based on the reviews. The waitress was friendly and helpful throughout. Our pizza's were absolutely deliscioso. This restaurant is a must if you are staying in the area. Complements to the chef. Grazie mille.

I booked La Tavernatta on the recommendation of friends who live in Ingleton. We were attending the Ingleton 40s weekender and needed somewhere in the village to eat on Saturday night. The food was absolutely authentic, very tasty and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is very small, about 16 covers in all, making it very homely. The owner and chef is Italian and I would say it's the best Italian food I have had outside Italy. And they did an authentic Tirimisu, my favourite dessert. I would have no hesitation in recommending La Tavernatta to anyone.

What a find in the dales. Excellent Italian food and reasonably priced. Hi quality ingredients and everything is hand made. The flavours were awesome. We’ll be back again if we’re back in the area.

Intimate restaurant, pre-booking is essential. The white wine we ordered was unavailable but had a lovely substitute. Had one of the best starters I’ve ever eaten: the Tricolore had top quality ingredients and included perfectly ripe avocado and fresh basil. The olive oil and herb dressing was so tasty we had a basket of perfect bread to mop it up. My main was tuna in tomato sauce over pasta. After the fantastic starter it utterly failed to deliver. Either the tuna was out of a tin or so overcooked it might as well have been. The sauce was fine. Biggest disappointment was that the dishes we were served our mains in were cold. That wasn’t too bad for me because of the sauce, but my partner who had clams with spaghetti found her pasta went cold before she’d got the clams out their shells. Skipped dessert as nothing on the menu appealed. I’d happily revisit if we’re in Ingleton again.

We were staying at Ingleton Hostel, and when I realised they didn't serve dinner I used TA to find us somewhere else to eat. As soon as I'd read these reviews (and realised it was <5min walk away) i knew I wanted to come. I...

How lucky are we to have this lovely Italian restaurant right here in our village. The food is excellent and beautifully served in excellent surroundings. Highly recommended.

An amazing Italian tucked away in the Dales. Great menu, all freshly prepared and equally great service. Menu included a good range of pizza and pasta dishes, an interesting selection of wines and some great desserts. Just a lovely restaurant and definitely worth booking.

Extensive menu, but freshly cooked and one of the best Italian meals we have had. It was all delicious, we all chose a pasta dish, just beautiful.

The restaurant isn't too small and the tables aren't too close together, it's authentic! Thank you to Antonio and the girls for delicious food and service. The menu is amazing as are the specials....and the pizzas are just perfect. You will need to book as...

Tiny restaurant, a little too small for us, tables and chairs really close to each other. Food was okay, service efficient.

Myself and my wife came to dinner on the 20th May (Saturday evening) and was our first visit. La Tavernetta is lovely and cozy inside as you walk in and has a very relaxed atmosphere. The service is amazing and personable and after trying our...

Particularly delicious genuine Italion cooking by an Italian chef: excellent roast veg antipasto, excellent vongole and fruiti di mare -> good portion without too much (excellent) pasta. We really enjoyed this treat.

We were unable to book beforehand and the owner very kindly fitted us in for an early meal. We were treated to a very tasty carbonara and a special seafood pasta dish. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant during your time in Ingleton.

Delicious Italian meal, everything tasted very fresh and was very reasonably priced. It’s only a matter tiny place which adds to it’s charm, although did mean that initially we were sat right next to the toilet until a table left and we were able to...

Such a lovely intimate atmosphere, food outstanding & such good value for money compared to what we have had to pay during this week in other local eateries, such an authentic Italian feel.

Wonderful food freshly cooked and hot. and the staff nothing was too much trouble. Antonio the chef came out and checked everything was all ok with his customers Definitely will return thank you

Such a wonderful evening, the very best food all freshly and individually prepared by Antonio. Superb service by Emily who kept everything running super smoothly. Of course we return again and again xx

This really is the best food ever- second time we’ve eaten here and I’ve been dreaming about the food since my first visit in November! Just delicious, a tastebud sensation, brilliant for veggies, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. It’s worth coming to Ingleton for this...

I am not a regular trip advisor user, but I just had to come back and leave a review for La Tavernetta. Visited with my husband for a second time since they opened and we were just as amazed as the first time. The restaurant...

We booked a table to finish off a family day out doing the waterfall walk. What a treat to see fresh pasta on the specials upon arrival! As a family of four there was something for everyone, everything was fresh and really delicious. We will...

Have visited a few times now, and I have never been disappointed. Food is always amazing, and the rustic feel is like being in Nonnas kitchen!! Would recommend to anyone if visiting Ingleton. I would recommend booking as venue is small, however I feel this...

Amazing food, each course was excellent quality, a really memorable meal. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

We popped in to the restaurant twice recently. Food was very reasonably priced, as well as the drink. The food itself was amazing, the seafood was fresh and the chef was happy to made minor amendments to the meals to suit our tastes. The menu...

We have visited this restaurant twice recently. Once as a couple and a nice as a table for 4. Firstly, booking is pretty much a necessity, it was busy during both visits. The food was consistently of a good quality, had a variety of meals,...

Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere, small family run establishment, authentic food from a passionate and talented chef/owner. Highly recommended but remember to book this place is popular

Nice food pity about loud mouth ignorant chef/owner not our fault he was having a quiet night or a bad day but it is a nice place .

Popped in to this establishment to enquire about a possible collection the following evening as we were staying in the area for the weekend. A scruffy old fella behind the counter, some way off with no intention to approach me, told me they weren’t doing...

Gorgeous food, lovely place I would advise booking as it is small. Lasagne was the best I have ever had, both kids loved their pizza, even managed to get one without cheese, my wife had the black pasta which she thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend this...

A fantastic family meal! The welcome, the service and most of all the food…. Absolutely amazing. A small restaurant with an abundance of quality. We were fortunate enough to get the window booth with our two young children and we picked mostly off the specials...

Highly unlikely to get a table and this little beauty without booking. Compact and quaint little restaurant in the heart of the village, it offers a wide range of many Italian dishes. Portions were good and the food was very good. Service was excellent, and...
