The best restaurants serving Italian food in Carlisle North West

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

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,

Our first time here, we have been waiting for ages to get in due to it’s popularity! It certainly didn’t disappoint. Delightful and charming atmosphere and the food was delicious! You certainly can’t ever leave feeling hungry!

Fantastic food great service the roast chestnut soup is of the charts

Lovely place except for gents toilet!

Food never disappoints, it's the best pizza in Carlisle! Don't be carried by the empty restaurant, this hidden gem got delicious meal and fair prices.

Went for a late lunch with friends, it was very busy as it was a Saturday afternoon. Food was lovely from the pasta to the pizza & the desserts we fully enjoyed. Staff were nice & we will be back

Definitely the best Italian in Carlisle! Every time we go, we are never disappointed, each starter and main meal are simply divine, we’re always too full to get a pudding! Tonight we had mussels and meatballs to start, then cod risotto and sea bass. The mussels are in a large bowl and very tasty, exceptional value - I sometimes ask for these as a main meal. My husband said the meatballs were delicious. The cod risotto is an absolute treat, crispy skin, soft and tasty flesh, and the risotto compliments the cod exceptionally well. My husband had the sea bass, and again just mouth watering! Beautiful meal, excellent service and reasonable! Thank you Amatos for being so amazing, you are our favourite Italian in town and we will be back!

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

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.

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and extensive menu. The staff were lovely and helpful, food was incredible and the cocktails were fantastic! It’s easily the best restaurant in Carlisle and I’ll definitely be back, can’t recommend it enough!

Nice atmosphere friendly staff, chips were lovely to much green stuff on side of plaster to eat when colleagues. A nice side salad with coleslaw would have been better. Everyone else's food looked ok but the chicken gyros was dry and but enough filling.

Our order took 1hour and 50 minutes to deliver, even though we were told 70 minutes, we don't mind waiting when somewhere is busy but at least make sure the food is hot when eventually delivered. We opened the bag and all the food was cold, we tried to ring the takeaway on the number on the order acknowledgement twice but nobody would answer. You don't expect to warm food up in a microwave when you pay over £35 for two starters & two pizzas, insulated food bags are a great invention, just a shame you don't use them! It might help keep some custom!

Lovely meal. Good service. Recently been refurbished, much better. Have eaten here for years. Never disappointed. Reasonably priced. Worth a visit.
