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!

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
