Really good food. Nice atmosphere. Lovely staff who were attentive and helpful. Do try.
Great hidden place. Very well presented. Excellent value for money and good food. Dog friendly.
Fantastic haven in the middle of Kirkby Lonsdale. Outside area is covered, with both fans and electric heaters for use in different weather conditions. Staff lovely. Whole decor is so inventive and newly refurbished. Highly recommend.
What a delightful place! But most important the 100% cheerful happy lass that served us. How does she do it? How can you be so cheerful and pleasant with everyone?
Sorry no name nut thanks. You arranged the hot lime drink for me if you are reading this!
We ate here as it was the only place in town with empty seats... the service was good but the food was so expensive! £19.95 for an antipasto platter consisting of 15 slices of salami, a few slices of cheap mozzarella, tomato and a tiny bit of bread. We were shocked! I wouldn't even expect to pay that in a top restaurant. The coffee is also served in very small cups which makes it quite pricey if you order a regular size. I felt embarrassed to complain as the waiter didn't really seem to know why we weren't happy.
Left hungry and down £30. Won't be back!
The worst restaurant experience of my life with food poisoning and excruciating waiting times..
The owners had left their kids to manage the restaurant at a weekend whilst away on holiday. The staff consisted of a young inexperienced waiter and waitress and a slightly older guy acting as manager. 30mins to receive drinks. Then a further 45mins for starter.. then a further hour for main, then luckily we had no option for dessert as they ran out. They constantly apologised and gave us excuses like above.. being understaffed, unexperienced etc. It was painful to listen to as they offered each table different excuses and apologies. We returned to our campsite and fell ill very quickly. The following Monday I called to speak to a manager and was promised a call back. They called me back to hear what happened and promised they would get back in touch. I expected perhaps an apology to fully or maybe a refund as I was given food poisoning from their food which ruined the next day or two of my 3 day holiday. I never heard a thing again.
Simply shocking, definitely to be avoided. I'm sorry this family are clearly struggling to run a successful restaurant but you cannot go making tourists ill and leaving your kids to deal with it whilst enjoying your own holiday. Sadly I'll never return to what I thought would be Kirkby Lonsdale's only nice Italian restaurant. I've grown up visiting the area but will never return to this place again, obviously!
An amazing find. After doing the Yorkshire Three peak challenge we all fancied pasta. Found this lovely restaurant online and they made space for seven of us at short notice. They were short staffed, yet we got a truely personal experience full of attention. Nearly all orders where customised and they portions were large. An amazing place to eat and drink. Worth a visit.
Disappointing and overpriced!! Service was very slow, and I had to approach the waitress twice as she did not check whether everything was ok with the food, and whether we wanted extra sauces etc......the ambience was awful....it was so quiet that it verged on alkward....it needs low music or something......and there was no card payment facility so we had to go to the cash point....it would have been more convenient if this was pointed out prior to purchasing food. Above all it was over priced, and the food was very basic. Would not return here.
