“ We’re regulars here. Me and my partner go either for a date night due to the lovely atmosphere or if there’s something to celebrate. We were in this Friday and the Staff are always warm and welcoming. While the menu may seem a bit on the “pricy” side to some in our opinion the steak is the best you’ll find in Carlisle along with the focaccia and pollopicant for starters I cannot recommend those enough.(sorry if I spelt that wrong) The cocktails are fab, to all the staff thank you for a wonderful evening! and the chefs thank you for a delicious meal as always! ”

“ Took wife for 60th birthday and family went as well. Love italian cuisine and wasn't disappointed. Nicky as got this place bang on. The portions were on the generous size but that's not an issue. Even our fussy granddaughters enjoyed the lasagne and pizza respectively. Pasta is bang on and son in law said risotto was delicious. Very friendly and very busy. ”
