We had a fantastic meal here for the last night of our stay in Keswick. Service was friendly and attentive and the ambience great. We shared a camembert starter which was excellent. My main was lasagne while my partner had a four cheese pizza which he loved. We shared chips and onion rings and finished with ice cream, which is a restaurant speciality. An excellent experience which we will be repeating in May when we return.

It is the second time coming here and literally does not disappoint. First time there was 11 of us for a family reunion, family members noted the fantastic service, attentiveness and delicious food. 1 noted it was better than he had eaten in all of Italy. This time on date night again it was astonishing, I can't really put into words! One thing I will say is it needs a Michelin star for the quality of food and service it really is that good. I'd only give this a bad review to ensure it doesn't get too busy that we can't get another booking because me and my friends and family will definitely be back again. Thank you for another great evening

This place is a hidden gem. Really good lunch as a couple with daughter and son in law. Started either meat balls. Small portion of 4 that was nicely done. Blast of flavour from tomato based sauce. Wife had calamari which was excellent. Then for main I went for the special sea bass - gorgeous dish. Probably one of the favourite I’ve had in an Italian. Served with potato and veg. Daughter went for carbonara which was also excellent (I had the rest as a takeaway next day). Girls went for tiramisu as desert. Had a little which was tasty. Service friendly all the way through. Loved it.

Used to go years ago when it was Fallen Angels but only been a couple of times since it's been Cenetta. I love the decor, it's cozy & feels like eating in a wine cellar but my husband hates it and says it's like a seedy basement! I had calamari which was a huge portion, cooked beautifully but I had to ask for some garlic mayo as it just had a lemon wedge! My friend had mussels which she enjoyed (creamy sauce which I'm not keen on). I had duck with pancetta, cherry & walnut (perfectly cooked, very tender) with a fondant potato which was OK (bit floury rather than waxy). My friend had tagliatelle topped with a salmon steak, again creamy sauce. She said it was very salty in patches & I tried 2 small flakes of the salmon & one was fine, one was very salty - nice though. We had a lush bottle of Primitivo, no room for pud but they looked nice. £50 each including 10%+ tip. The thing that really put me off was the staff banged the back of my chair every time they went past (and it wasn't a squeeze either) and as we were right in the middle opposite the kitchen pass it was upwards of 10 times. I should have said something after the 2nd time but it was 4 different staff members doing it.

Decent food, served fast, great for families, the staff were utterly fantastic last Saturday night, they were helpful, engaging and wonderful with our kids. A sincere thank you to the team, highly recommend for families looking for decent food in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Booked a table for 9 people for a family birthday 2 weeks in advance. On our way to the restaurant we checked the website to look at the menu to discover they were temporarily closed and had been for a while. The restaurant had made no attempt to contact us to inform us they were closed and when we called up to confirm they made no apologies. If we hadn't checked we would have been left stood on the street on a Friday evening with nowhere to go! Disgraceful service, will not be going again despite positive experiences in the past.

The food here is very good. The only downside is the chaos of getting in. I was made to feel that I was a nuisance because I didn't understand the system of entry. There was a queue outside and woe betide you if you don't wait to be called in when you reach the front of the queue! A very grumpy doorman/waiter. That being said the food made up for it and we had a tasty leisurely 3 course meal with wine for a reasonable price.
