SANNAS Ristorante Italiano in Carlisle

We had a lovely meal. Very nice service as always. Nice to see the place busy - as always. Good value for money.

Outstanding food! Was there for a private party. The staff were excellent, the ambience superb. Fantastic service and great value for money. Would definitely go again.

Another lovely visit to Sannas - beautiful food, excellent atmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff! They know we will be back when we next visit!

An exceptionally good dinner served by nice professional staff. Great to see an authentic independent Italian restaurant fluorishin.g

Really nice experience dining here. Staff friendly and food delicious. Happy hour if you can.

Attentive staff serving Fantastic food. Had a shared starter, 2 mains, a beer and a decent bottle of wine for under £60. Waitress Emma is a delight, gently engaging in banter, constantly attentive and politely scanning customers for eye contact in case they need service. She is in the right job and will go far. Lastly, no annoying discretionary service tip - they leave it to you

Lovely atmosphere with authentic Italian food selections. Enjoyed it very much.

Very good food and atmosphere 😎

We arrived late and it was very busy and we managed to get a table upstairs which was quite noisy. Before we had ordered a waitress asked us if we would prefer to be down stairs as a table had become available. This was excellent for us and we had a most enjoyable evening. Our thanks to the waitress who was busy but still had time to attend to us

Excellent food and service. A real find in Carlisle. Our seafood dish and chicken dishes were delicious and staff were good at accommodating dairy intolerance.

Just a great place to eat. Food was excellent and generous portions. Pizza was just right and well loaded . Chicken with garlic mash was lovely. Your best asset: the lovely staff. So kind and attentive. You can't fault this place. Tall blonde waitress who served us upstairs was just delightful. You are lucky to have her.

Quite good food but nothing really special. Quick and friendly service.

Over the years we've eaten in most of the Italian Restaurants in Carlisle but we find Sannas impossible to beat. Their food along with the service that we received was first class and reasonably price. Well done to all the staff for looking after us and for making us feel welcome.

Absolutely beautiful food, good service. We were upstairs. Stairs are not very convenient and the room was so so loud everyone seemed very close and crammed in.

Just walked in on the odd chance they had a table for two and they did. The atmosphere was very relaxing and tasteful. The food was very nice and the service even better. Highly recommend.

Great food, friendly service, well worth the visit.

I've recently been to celebrate a birthday in the family. We had to park a little bit away as there was no parking on sight but the atmosphere in the restaurant was brilliant. It was a calm, relaxing atmosphere. On arrival we were promptly asked for our drinks order and our food order. The food took around 20-30 minutes for a table of 6. The food was great and we had a good time overall!

I think we just hit a time when there was a problem in the kitchen. Nice place, starters good ,service friendly. Waited an hour for the main course. It was a family gathering so everyone was polite and said they enjoyed it but if I had made the spaghetti and squid thing I got I would have been embarrassed.

Food and service was excellent 👌

Excellent service. We had the veg pizza and the aribiata pasta. Generous portions and very tasty

Had an excellent dinner tonight. Calamari and bread starters were well prepared and presented! The pasta and chicken main courses were perfect! Friendly and professional staff!

Food was great. Good selection. Food came quickly. Desserts were also delicious .

Had a lovely lunch. Very welcoming, attentive staff, great food and reasonably priced.

Service was good, great selection of dishes, wine was great, gelatto Al afogatto was amazing.

Lovely place to dine ,a good selection of food and drink service was good and served up perfectly and ample portion size will definitely visit again soon

Fantastic food fab staff and great service Best Italian in Carlisle in my eyes

Lovely restaurant, with a great ambience. From the friendly welcome at the door, to the delicious food. My friend and I had the cod loin, it was amazing. Served on a lemon risotto, beautifully presented and so delicious. A large glass of wine and homemade tiramisu to follow. A real taste of Italy. The service was excellent, all the staff were efficient and attentive. Really good value for money . I will definitely recommend my friends to visit.

Really great evening Food delicious, excellent value. Staff friendly & efficient. Lovely atmosphere - great evening

Excellent food Excellent service That's really all I can say. Would definitely recommend 👌

I recommend it, a nice place and congratulations to the staff

Great restaurant friendly staff

Wonderful place to eat, service amazing going back soon 💯% 👍

Great place - lovely food I had beer this time and wow it was amazing Love coming here after a very hard dates work in Glasgow thanks guys

Large party and they were great, really looked after us, no issues and great food

Excellent service, meal and ambience for a 21st birthday family gathering of over 20 people. Faultless. We had a reall good night. Thanks Giann Franco

My favourite restaurant in Carlisle. Why go to Italy? The food is amazing the service second to none. Nothing is too much and my risotto was tweaked just for me (not being a big meat lover). Very surprised to read previous review. The steps are visible from photos of the building. Can’t wait for our next visit and it won’t be long. Never been to another Italian locally since coming to this gem. Keep up the good work everyone.

We were in Carlisle for the weekend and we booked a table for 8:00 When we arrived we where met with an issue as the only access to the building was up three or four steps which is an issue as I am in a wheelchair but we could get round this. I could’ve got up the steps, but as we got in we were told our table was upstairs and the top of a windy staircase which obviously has a wheelchair user was a no-no there were tables downstairs. Fine all the tables were full, but they weren’t willing to ask anybody if they would mind moving before their food came. And the time of night we are unable to find anywhere else to eat, so we had to have a takeout in our hotel room and after the effort of getting ready to go out and pay for taxes, the experience left me feeling a little dehumanised the staff were not helpful at all so if you have mobility issues do not attempt to go to this place because they will not help you out. They will not try accommodate you and they will leave you feeling well. Frankly s*#t I will never ever go to this place again disgrace.

Brilliant dinner spot we found passing through Carlisle. Food was delicious and our server Oriana was so friendly and knowledgable about the food and wine and was extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent and staff very attentive. Very good food choice for anyone who has coeliac. My daughter has this and the staff were very knowledgeable about the menu. Can’t wait to go back.

First visit to Sannas in Carlisle and really enjoyed it. A wonderful calm atmosphere in a beautiful old town house. Food was exquisite and the service brilliant. Would definitely recommend

Christmas Eve at SannaS! Gianfranco and his team made us feel very welcome, food was fantastic and a real elegant family atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend whether it’s a quick meal on an evening or an occasion, SannaS won’t leave you disappointed.

Excellent venue, the place is immaculately decorated and even further enhanced by the attentive, polite and professional staff. Very impressed even before the food which was amazing. I had the lasagna al forno and my partner had the salmon bartoletti. Highly recommended. We had such a beautiful time there and will certainly be back soon.

Superb meal and atmosphere, be back soon

Absolutely beautiful food served to highest standards off cleanliness very attentive waitresses tastefully decorated inside sadly it was only 2 nights stay in Carlisle so see you next year 👌& happy Christmas 🤶 🎅⛄️🌲

Great food great service and very reasonable prices,will deffo call again

Lovely place, exceptional service. Friendly staff, great food and very good choice of house wines. We were seated downstairs which was warm and cosy. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced as it was happy hour service excellent very friendly polite staff great atmosphere would highly recommend sannas

Lovely food, made us something not on menu without a second thought. Early bird price between 5pm and 6pm was a bonus. Downgraded atmosphere slightly as a bit of echoey (not a real word but describes it well). Good service, would eat there again. Lasagne and sea food risotto were lovely.

An excellent meal served efficiently and with kindness despite the resteraunt being very busy.

We visited on a Sunday evening and enjoyed great pizzas, Mediterranean vegetables and fabulous fries. We will be back soon!

David Stewart (not the Eurythmics one?) has already said exactly what I experienced. Perfect.

Not many places open on a Monday but this one is. Very well worth going to. A friendly welcome with lovely photos of Italy on the wall. Tasty food - not the usual Italian but Sardinian specialities - which were delicious.Good value too.

Brilliant service , very friendly staff . Lovely decor within. Speedy service . Warm and welcoming . Great seating arrangements. Waited on hands and food. Great standard of table service by the girls. Beautiful food couldn’t fault at all 10/10 I will be back! Thank you all x

Food spot on ,as always.Been going for years,always nice.Friendly staff ,quick service ,

RIP off London prices . Unhelpful manager average food way overpriced. Been to lots of Italian restaurants but not happy with this one

Amazing food the chicken special was amazing always welcome with my grandchildren. Food wine great ambience Gian fraco and his staff always go the extra mile thank you

I booked for eight of us on a Monday night at this charming little restaurant. When we arrived it was packed, we were shown to our table straightaway and our server Emma was with us immediately to take our drinks order. The menu offered a good range of starters, mains of pastas, pizzas and risottos, but also blade of beef and chicken dishes. The house wine was very good and reasonably priced. All the girls that served us were excellent and friendly despite being very busy, but a HUGE shout out to Emma who looked after us throughout and nothing was too much trouble. A fabulous evening at this lovely Sardinian restaurant - try it you won't be disappointed.

Amazing as usual, I'll be back 😃

This restaurant doesn’t need more 5* reviews… but it does deserve them. Lovely Sardinian food; flavoursome and filling in a good way;the staff were really attentive to us and still serviced a table of 18; and the atmosphere was lively, couples, families and the large work group of 18.

Excellent and will be back. Thank you.

They could make almost anything on the menu gluten free so I was definitely booking a table and I didnt regret it. I had gf garlic bread and pasta carbanara and it was amazing. I didnt have room for dessert. The staff were brilliant and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely too. A great Monday night meal for me. Thank you x

We were recommended to come here by a few people.but unfortunately it wasn’t perfect for us .. our mains came out before our starters .. which was very quickly sorted by the great serving staff .. when my main came out which was chicken risotto it was over cooked and tasted very gluppy. So I didn’t eat it . I did tell the waitress and she just said she would let chief know .and that seamed to be the end of it .. !! Nothing was offered or adjusted on our bill .I don’t often write reviews has I work in hospitality so I know it’s hard work .. but I think the could have dealt with my not eating my main meal a little better.

Amazing Sardinian food - I hadn't had Seafood Fregula before - absolutely delicious (wide variety of seafood plenty of it). Partner had seafood pizza - equally pleased. Excellent and friendly service. Will definitely visit again when in Carlisle

Arrived 15 minutes early and were welcomed and shown to our table. We were given time to look at the menu and our drinks order taken. The food and service was of a very high standard and the restaurant spotlessly clean. Will always return.

Beutiful meal here last night,great sevice great staff,the food was amazing we had 3 course prawns and garlic mushrooms we both had chicken with broccli, tiramasu and pancake for desert, the nicest meal I have had in a very long time,busy for a Monday night,staff were very much on the ball great service,we'll definitely be back,see you soon.sorry I didn't get 1 photo.

Great food and very accommodating.

Went as a group of 11. Staff great, food great, location great, parking easy. 100% 5*

First time here and we loved it went out for a family meal and the staff were lovely we sat upstairs up the spiral staircase near the bar starter I had the pork and wild boar meatballs main I had pepperoni, chicken and fresh sausage pizza and a thin curst omg it was amazing and last I had an Affogato and I have theses every were I go and his is the best one by far. So great place clean and great food. The only downside is it can be a bit load especially when placed next to big tables...

Beautiful restaurant, with a really lovely atmosphere. The food is exquisite, and reasonably priced too. The staff are lovely to deal with, a great little place!

Beautiful tasty food in a lovely environment, delivered by very nice staff. Highly recommended A++++

Visited SannaS for the first time this evening with my mum. Upon entering we were truly blown away with the ambience. The restaurant was lively and extremely cosy. Decor absolutely stunning! Staff were friendly, very knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble! They went above and beyond to make our experience a good one. We had the mozzarella frittas and meatballs to start, followed by the malloredus pasta and fregola fruitti di mare for our main courses. The food was spectacular; super tasty and authentic. Like nothing we’ve tasted before in any other italian restaurant. This has to be a new favourite restaurant of ours and we will certainly be back soon!

Visited with a group of friends and o wasn’t disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, I’m critical when it comes to food and service but I couldn’t fault either.

Once again, I’ve been to Sanna’s. Once again, I’ve had amazing food, lovely wine and the staff are brilliant. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, I will definitely be back soon 😊

Really excellent, will be back!

Genuinely enthusiastic staff made for a great evening. The food we had was excellent and the house wine delicious.

We were a group of 5 and didn’t have a reservation, but the staff quickly found us a table. Food, service nd wine were fantastic. Lovely restaurant they I would happily go back to 👍

Visited Sannas with friends last night for the fist time. Lovely restaurant to be fare and staff were fine. I ordered Olives as a starter which were bitter, bruised and cracked!!! For my main I ordered Linguine with tomatoes and seafood. I got, one king prawn, 3 mussels and the rest was made up of mushy cockles. The tomatoes were mush and the linguine overcooked. Needless to say the meal was left. Very dissatisfied with my experience. The music playing in the background was like funeral music! Such a shame because it is a nice restaurant. I won't be back, I will stick to what I know in future.

Having been to Italy in the last year our next Italian meal out was going to be something special, and Sannas did the job! Fantastic food. Delicious. Scrumptious. Enormous Pizzas and extremely good pasta. Our celebration day as a family was topped off with a great dining experience. We also inadvertently arrived an hour early and they found us a table no problem. Lovely staff and surroundings Highly recommended

Food is good and the staff are very friendly and helpful 😀

Perfect couples dinner. Attentive staff. Great food.

Last minute booking with a colleague and WOW we're we pleased!!! Fantastic food, friendly knowledgeable staff and a fantastic selection of Gin. We booked again before we paid the bill.

Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Great service, never disappointed

Great place, very tasty food. We've enjoyed our meal very much!

Friendly staff, very good service and very good food.

i would highly recommend this italian their service and food are always excellent. thank you!

Called in on spec for a quick lunch and received a warm welcome and were shown to a nice table upstairs. Our order was taken and served promptly. We both had pizzas which were fantastic and great value, as it turned out to be happy hour. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to returning next time we’re in Carlisle at lunchtime.

Went with a party of 8 for a 60th birthday. All enjoyed our food. Have been many times before and will be back in the future.

Food was lovely, staff are friendly and helpful. Loved the decor. Place was lovely and clean. Would definitely recommend this place

Our family go to Italian, because it’s always good!

Fantastic place, food was delicious. Waiting staff very attentive couldn’t help enough. Definitely worth a re visit. Would advise to book.

Great afternoon celebrating a friends 50th birthday. The sea bass served on a bed of risotto was amazing. Lovely atmosphere and great service.

As usual the food was delicious and beautifully presented and the service was spot-on. We love this restaurant.

Food was very good and the staff very helpful.

We had a fantastic meal here. The staff are welcoming and really passionate about Sardinian food, taking time to explain anything we weren't sure about. You have to try the Sebadas Alla Miele dessert. It was wonderful, the light sweet citrus and really good honey absolutely made it.

Had a lovely Meal The staff are amazing went above and beyond ...the only down side was the person I ate with lol 🤣xx Fantastic Venue 👍🏽😁 Will Defo visit again with ma pals

Faultless, Excellent food, good service, friendly staff. Not relaxed atmosphere, staff waiting near table for us to finish courses. Felt rushed to finish food and leave premises. Payment machine brought to the table while we still had drinks left. 3 staff members clearly watching us until we finished. Was a celebratory meal for our anniversary, 100 mile round trip, wouldn't go again given the feeling of being rushed.
