The best restaurants serving Italian food in Ambleside and Grasmere South Lakeland North West

Staff are really nice and chilled. The food is great. They use proper ingredients, and the food is made with care.

Looked lovely from the outside so went in for a drink at 9:42pm (Wednesday). There was a family in there drinking and playing pool. Asked for a drink, the bloke behind the bar looked up from his phone and said ‘we’ve finished serving’ we said but it says you close at 11pm tonight, he looked up again and said ‘not to tonight we don’t’ Not in the slightest bit pleasant or apologetic…won’t be going back there again!

Popped in for a quick coffee and cake. Zeferrelis is a cut above all the other cafes in town but is the most reasonable. Some of the overpriced 'chain' establishments charge an arm and a leg for mediocre coffee and bought in cake. Zeffs has an amazing pastry chef and it shows, yet the prices are the best in town

What a fabulous bistro . Staff are very welcoming and friendly; the bistro is very dog friendly with blankets provided and free treats ; food is amazing particularly the homemade pea and ham hock soup and Cumberland sausage sandwich . Well worth a visit . Highly recommended

Lovely little restaurant with a good menu, food delicious and plentiful, staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Bonus that it’s dog friendly too. Brilliant little find
