This is a restaurant that does not accept reservations. The menu is quite simple. We ordered the soup of the day, Fritto Misto, and Spaghetti Bolognese as appetizers. The Fritto Misto was very fresh, and the Spaghetti Bolognese was unexpectedly delicious. For the main course, we ordered chili pizza, seafood spaghetti, and Pork belly. The seafood spaghetti was decent, and the pork belly was rich but not greasy, with a perfectly balanced flavor and tender meat. The chili pizza, perhaps due to the beef sauce, was too moist, which significantly affected the texture of the pizza, making it the only downside of the evening. I highly recommend the iced coffee and strawberry ice cream. The service was decent, making it a restaurant worth trying.

Had the mushroom carbonara with truffle oil. It was absolutely fantastic! The espresso was served with a piece of homemade fudge which was the best fudge I’d had in a while! Lovely staff and warm atmosphere!

Whilst it's frustrating the restaurant does not accept reservations, we just dined slighter earlier than we normally would. We could not fault the service, extremely fast and very accommodating to dietary requirements (off menu requests). Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

It’s a bliss that the restaurant is walk-in only — a fair game for wanderers in the busy summer season. We were able to register our phone number and waited in the parking lot nearby :P Food is mostly good, rounded to almost 5 because of the friendly service. Lamb Ragu gnocchi combines two of my favorite things. Lamb is cooked tender with lean and tendon parts, full of flavors. The gnocchis are huge (larger than the lam chunks!), al dente, a little cheesy and bouncy. Makes me so happy. Special seafood risotto is wonderful too. Rice is also perfectly cooked, with a little chewiness. Chimichurri tastes more like pesto but delicious nonetheless. Shrimps and squid pieces are nice. The mussels can be a little plumper and fresher. It’s probably frozen— acceptable for the price, though it will help elevate the restaurant (and all non-fine dining Italian restaurants) if fresh products are used in pasta and risotto dishes. Hazelnut tiramisu is one of the best tiramisu I’ve had. The mascarpone layer is supper fluffy and airy— and hazelnut flavored! The base layer is well soaked in espresso. White chocolate biscotti is a little too sweet. Ice creams are too sweet. Garlic aroma was wafting out of the kitchen so we ordered garlic bread. It can be a bit more garlic but the good side is that it’s not too oily either. Honey mustard wings and olives are alright. Service is very friendly and helpful.

One the the best Italian restaurants in Ambleside, honestly the others are overrated, over priced and have ridiculous waiting times. This restaurant is a much visit if you're looking for the most tasty Italian food. The service was impeccable, extremely fast and the staff were cheerful and able to meet our dietary requirements

I had the pork belly confit, it was delicious. The service was excellent, too. We had to wait 15 minutes, but we had a drink at the bar and it was worth the wait.

You can't book a table here, but although it was busy we got a table. The food arrived very quickly after ordering. It was really tasty. I had the mushroom pizza with truffle oil which was delicious. My husband had a toastie that came with freshly made pesto that he absolutely raved about. Well worth a visit.
