The best restaurants serving Italian food in South Lakeland North West

Turned up without reservation but accomodated swiftly. Food delivered in good time.

We booked this place online, received reminders of the booking and it was only on turning up to eat did we find out it was closed indefinitely. There's clearly some automated booking system still active so be warned. Shame it’s closed as the place actually looked really cozy.

This place was brilliant. We popped in to see if they had a table and managed to get the last one they had. I'd definitely recommend booking, we saw a lot of people turned away, we clearly got very lucky. We were 2 adults and two kids. The food was excellent. I had the Betullas pasta dish which was amazing, really tasty. We also had the sharer starter which was was really generous. In fact all of the portions were really good sizes and packed full of ingredients. The drinks were also really well priced, which matters when you're eating with kids. Whilst the kids menu might seem a bit more expensive than elsewhere the fact that drinks are well priced more than compensates for that. I think the fact that this place was full says it all, definitely a gem of a place. Great food and really great service. Kids menu was fine, perhaps a touch expensive

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

Gorgeous food, would definitely recommend. We walked in at about 6pm but it got very busy afterwards so book if you’re planning on going any later

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

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.

This was the worse italian meal I have ever had, would not recommend I was so ill through the night and the next day I missed the new year.

Food was OK. We had mainly pizza. Bases were good, toppings a bit mean. Priced ok if toppings were just a little more generous. Staff are very nice, friendly and efficient. Room feels more like a cafe than a restaurant so if that is important to you there are more atmospheric places in the village.

Visited this place twice while away on a break and both times staff were ignorant, food was burned and orders were wrong when I received them. I will not go here again and I will spend my money with a business that appreciates my custom.

The crew at Aunt Sally’s were quick to serve. They took on board my request and were lovely. Back to our caravan our fish and chips were lovely. Fish was crispy and fluffy white fish. The chips were abundant. Thank you.
