The best restaurants serving Italian food in Carlisle North West

We booked for the vegan night but couldn't make it due to illness. The owner was amazing. So understanding and let us collect it as takeaway to enjoy when better. Even as a takeaway it was so delicious and we look forward to going back for a proper sit down meal sometime! Thank you again for everything!

We learnt of Big Pizza Pies via facebook, and my partner and I have been fans ever since. Beautiful hand made pizzas cooked in front of you in a wood fire, they are to die for! While I'm a simple margherita fan, my partner loves the different specials they have on every week, especially the cumberland sausage ones.

Pizza van in Local community hall car park, there most Saturdays. More to the point they're very good and keeping you informed via Facebook if they won't be there. Good selection of excellent Pizzas at reasonable prices,

Real Italian! Amazing food! Lovely owners!

Lovely food for a good price, made even better by amazing staff! Quick service and top quality food

Ate here today with my daughter's and other family members and we can't fault it at all. We have eaten here several times and it is consistently beautiful food and always very good service. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Sister and I dined here before a gig on the 13th April. Meals we ordered were amazing. A gentle prompt from the waiting staff to order a side which was the best part of the meal. Both of us would recommend to other diners to try 10/10 worth a visit.

We had a wonderful meal and witnessed staff generosity in driving us back to our car which we had to park quite far from the restaurant due to renovation of city and my husband’s disabilities. It was very nice of the young lady at the bar to suggest help to us. We will definitely come back. Thank you Amatos!

I never bother writing reviews as I've generally always been really satisfied with the standard of food I've ordered, but on this occasion, the food was so dreadful that I feel totally compelled to warn people about my horrible experience buying takeaway from here with uber eats. For the most part, the standard of food in Perth is absolutely fabulous so I was shocked to receive meals that were so subpar, to say the least. I ordered, truffle and porcini arancini which tasted of... nothing, just a carby stodge. Eggplant parma which was just a burnt, oily, greasy mess. Calamari which was bland and probably taken straight out the freezer, with aioli on the side that had curdled because it was so out of date. I also ordered a side of garlic mayo which had curdled and smelt of a mild cheese, there was nothing even remotely garlicky or fresh about the aioli or mayo. Veggie pizza which was more basic than a supermarket frozen pizza. Everything was stale, out of date, basic and bland. I could've made it all better myself. It all went straight in the bin. Thankfully I was refunded the whole order but I was incredibly disappointed.

Great Italian restaurant, wonderful food, good atmosphere and lovely staff. Bruschetta was incredible and fantastic wine

I just wanted to leave a review following our stay last night (18/11/2023) An absolutely amazing stay, bedroom had all we needed. We had a fantastic sleep and a wonderful view. The food was amazing the best pub grub I have had in a very long time. The breakfast equally as good. The staff were all friendly and had excellent customer service, very welcoming. The locals made us feel at home and a good time was had all round. Stephen was a wonderful host and a brilliant chef. We can't wait to return next year to try out the glamping pod

We visited this restaurant on a mid week night whilst visiting Carlisle. The food was delicious and the service from the staff were excellent. Taylor in particular (our wait person) was very friendly and helpful and even gave us some tips for places to visit whilst we were staying in the region as well as providing very good service all evening and kept checking in with us to see if we need anything. Nicky was also great and very knowledgeable on the wine. My husband asked what red wine he recommended off the wine list and Nicky recommended the house wine and said how they take pride in all their wines. My husband wasn't disappointed . He said it was the best 'house wine' he had ever had and he knows a lot about wines. Nicky could have recommended something much more expensive but was honest and that impressed us all. We would definitely go back here. The other major plus was that it is in a beautiful old converted church so the setting was really lovely and unusual.

Our party booked ahead and preordered, the place had only a few other customers so it wasn’t busy. Meals only started being served after an hour and a half with no apology or explanation. When the food did come some orders were missing, some meals were inedible, some only arrived after other people had finished eating. The manager/supervisor did not come and apologise or offer explanation, he stayed away downstairs. When he was approached about taking a meal off the bill due to it being inedible, he said there was nothing he could do as a good will gesture apart from remove the item from the bill. Two of the meals were inedible and the quality of the others served was on the whole quite poor. I am so surprised as this place used to be so good.

Something gone wrong with this place, one time favourite for good Italian. Now the usual rubber garlic bread like all the other take aways in chorley, Lasagne-hardly any pasta, Sloppy with huge lumps of mince, Spag bog chillied up. Disappointed. I liked the starter though.

Met with a strange smell when entering. Food was average soggy pizza, pasta dish sauce was runny chicken unrecognisable. Service was strange got orders mixed up ( only 2 tables in) . Wouldn't return
