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.

Great atmosphere for drinks, good live music on weekends, cool place

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

This was my first trip to Ambleside and it was just me and my dog. I knew Luigi’s was dog friendly. I had not reserved a table but they accommodated me no problem. The ladies that served me were amazing and the food was gorgeous. Would highly recommend. The open fire downstairs was a lovely bonus. Will be coming back, thank you Luigi’s
