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,

Really good pizza and calzone. As good as any I've eaten in Italy!

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.

Amatos never lets us down! Starters, mains and puddings were all delicious! Staff are polite and professional. Best Italian in town!

Great tasting pizza and garlic bread.

Really liked this Italian restaurant. Foods are really good, friendly service, and good atmosphere. Their salmon was very good, cooked to perfection making it tender and moist. Recommended place to dine here at Carlisle.

We dined here to celebrate our wedding anniversary during a recent break in Carlisle. We didn’t book a table in advance, but we were made very welcome and quickly seated. The food, wine and service were fantastic, we would highly recommend this restaurant and would not hesitate to return when back in the area.

Being here earlier in the year, loved it x hubby surprised me with a little sneaky night away & we got a pod😛 img always wanted to stay in a pod ! Was super clean the shower was amazing & at first thought it would be could but boost the heating up was red hot!! The bedding linen etc were exceptionally clean honestly I can’t wait to go back!!! The staff, the locals are really lovely people ….. my only concern is I’m writing this & Steve & team get so booked up I won’t be able to get a room xxx we’ll find guys x bagel of a place x ❤️

Waited 5 minutes garlic bread arrived then after that meal came the mains.Filled with laughter nice place waiters kind. Recommended

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.

Bland and uninspiring. Expensive too. Used to be excellent when small portions were offered for a good price and you could have a few to make a tasty lunch. Lasagne I had was just mush with no discernible layers of pasta and very bland. Items have been dropped from the menu, but the the menu has not been reprinted, so when you order you are told, “we don’t do that anymore” well, reprint the up to date menu then!
