The Chef reccomendsecond time I've eaten here, and I think its much improved. Loved the food, all 3 courses. I would definitely come back when in Ambleside. I rate it much better than Zefferelli's where we dined the following night
Went to this fabulous restaurant for dinner. Nice atmosphere and the staff were very pleasant. Seated quickly and after ordering starters came pretty quickly. I had the soup of the day which was fantastic and then for main the cauliflower steak which was amazing. Please make sure you go to this restaurant if you are in Ambleside regardless of whether you are veggie. Best vegetarian restaurant we've visited !!!
Not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination but we are big fans of flavour and Fellinis definitely delivers. Very impressed.
We had a meal deal from our Hotel, Ambleside Manor, owned I think by the same family. The food at Fellinis is exceptional, we had the Butternut squash starter and the Cauliflower steak, both tasty, filling and very high quality. We ended with the slow roasted Pineapple, which was inventive worked well and fulfilled that need to end on an edge of sweetness. The service is great, efficient, unobtrusive but friendly. We were so impressed we did not look for another restaurant the following night, our meal deal having expired, we just returned for another lovely meal. Highly recommended, we will return.
I have been to Fellini's before and when in Ambleside it's a must go to place every visit to the Lakes. We went for dinner and ordered starters of butternut squash, pomegranate, chickpeas with tahini dressing and herb oil and a spinach and chickpea soup. Mains were chestnut and sweet potato loaf with romesco sauce and roast cauliflower with black quinoa, sunblush tomato and avocado sauce. The dishes are fine dining quality (seriously better than the last Michelin restaurant I visited). These are creative dishes well cooked, beautifully presented and scrumptious. The only let down is the lack of vegan puddings which on this night was only slow roasted pineapple or sorbets and ice creams. We decided not to have a dessert as we really wanted a decadent pudding not those on offer. However this did not detract from our enjoyment this is seriously great vegan cooking.
Outstanding! Five star experience! Enjoyed the movie deal (film at Zeffirelli’s and meal at Fellini’s) and the experience was faultless! From the bar man, to the reserved seats in the cinema to the brilliant vegan and vegetarian meal in Fellini’s with outstanding customer service - we were blown away. Came here for our 13th anniversary and I am hard to please. On a par with Mosimans in London. Ambience, table decor, food, presentation, music and waiting staff all superb! I’ll be back next time we are on holiday here :)
Excellent meal very pleasant staff. We came for the NYE set menu having eaten at Zeffirelli’s before we thought the meal would suit us, we were not disappointed service was great and the food excellent, original, not heavy but light and tasty. Nice atmosphere no complaints at all in-fact we’ll be back
Good service and pleasing atmosphere. The average nut roast was covered in overly acidic sauce which spoiled the dish. The Christmas pudding was half desert with extremely sour/ bitter fruit; I doubt the chef had tasted the underripe offering. What business a large sprig of mint and an extremely hard piece of toffee was doing on the plate beggars belief. The pudding was as lacking in complexity as the Brandy sauce/custard was lacking in flavour. Colour over taste, style over content.
Take the cinema ticket/meal inclusive offering (£24.75pp for cinema ticket, main course and either a starter or a pudding) and have a great time. I must admit I hadn’t spotted it was a vegetarian restaurant when we booked and so thought I would be disappointed with the main course. However, the food was delicious and I’d go back again (in fact I wish it was closer to my home!). Staff were really helpful and it’s a great evening package.
We had the Christmas offering which was a Nut Roast En Croute with veg. I wasn't expecting it to be exceptional but it was. Very tasty and the crust nice and thin round the base. The Christmas Pudding was equally exceptional. We've reviewed Fellini's a few times. We enjoy its comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and the staff are always very good.
It is a shame to mark down Fellinis as the restaurant is one of my favourites in The Lakes. I was here to watch The Irishman as it is on limited release and I had the place to myself until a couple arrived late and acted like it was their living room at home. Unfortunately the film, which was fantastic, was 3 hours and twenty minutes so it really did need to be warm enough and unfortunately it wasn't. Also, we normally dine downstairs but not this time and I needed some popcorn or something. Drinks and a few bags of chocolate was all that they had. The lady at reception was very friendly.
Went here after going to cinema, as part of meal deal package. Very helpful staff. Took our coats and got nice table, even though we were a bit early. They had just put on their Xmas menu. We had lovely olives followed by great veggie starters. For main we had the Xmas nut roast. The food was excellent but too much nut roast. Better balance would have been smaller nut roast portions and more vegetables. Even the waitress agreed. We were stuffed so no room for deserts. Good value for money
Wow! We really enjoyed our visit. Both our starters were fantastic - a goats cheese and grape bruschetta and a cauliflower soufflé. We both went for the nut roast which was equally as good. Whilst not on the drinks menu we both enjoyed different gin and tonics. We then eat upstairs to the cinema having booked the meal and cinema ticket - fantastic value for what is a fine dine experience
My husband and I discovered this little gem during a short break near Ambleside and popped in on the off chance they would have a table. The staff were friendly, polite and extremely helpful, even offering to take our coats. There was a good choice of food on the menu and we were delighted with our choices, which were beautifully presented and, to be honest, the most delicious vegetarian food we have tasted in a long time. A little pricier than ‘pub grub’ but well worth it. We will definitely return if we are ever in Ambleside again. Thoroughly recommended.
A vegetarian/vegan restaurant and I have to say the food was fantastic. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Staff attentive and friendly but still give you time. Lots to choose from and the taste matches the menu...😋👍
Delicious vegetarian food and varied menu, friendly and attentive staff, lovely decorated restaurant made for a really enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
I love the sister restaurant Zeferellis, even if their pizza base is no longer fully wholewheat. Fellinis is more up market done with great consistency and quality. Ideal for a special meal or with one of their special events. It is so nice as a vegetarian to go for a nice meal in lovely setting and feel normal. Ambleside has been a vegetarian haven for decades back to the long lost Harvest in the 80s: Zeffs and Fellinis does a great job.
Lovely restaurant with a great vegetarian menu & attentive, helpful staff. The service was great & I can recommend the stuffed butternut squash followed by ice cream! There’s the added bonus of a cinema upstairs & a special cinema deal for dinner!
Staff friendly and efficient. Food delicious. I had a pear, chicory, blue cheese and walnut salad and butternut squash with lentils. Both delicious. We were on the cinema and restaurant decal for £24.95.

This was our first visit to Fellinis and definitely won't be our last. The food was thoughtfully presented and incredibly tasty - you could tell that the chefs really cared about what was presented on the plate. Our welcome was seamless: coats were promptly taken and we were led to our cosy table. A special mention to Marius and Eddie who couldn't have done enough for us - they are an asset to the restaurant. We left as 3 very happy and relaxed ladies. This was fine dining as it should be. A great end to a short break in the lakes.
