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

Really good venue gey yourself down

We had a lovely afternoon meal at Misto and it was a fantastic experience! We tried the spicy meat pizza and the funghi pizza, both of which were absolutely delicious. But the real standout was the halloumi fries – they were hands down the best we’ve ever had! The restaurant itself was clean, cosy, and had a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We can’t wait to go back for another meal! Highly recommend this place!

We booked Zefirelli's cinema and meal deal and had a wonderful evening! The seats in the cinema are not as roomy as my local one but it has a wonderful retro feel to it. The food was fantastic - every dish was so delicious. I don't know what the dressing was but I've never had such yummy hallumi. We also tried both pasta and pizza and both were perfect. I would definitely recommend - even if you're not a vegetarian.

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

We have been regular visitors to Grasmere and the surrounding area for many years but have never visited Harley's Bistro. After walking up to Easedale Tarn in the recent snow, we called in for lunch - what a find! The varied menu caters for all tastes and encourages return visits. Excellent customer service, freshly prepared hot food, and extremely clean customer toilets. Thanks to Daniel for his friendly welcome and to everyone at Harley's.
