Lovely Italian in Carlisle city centre. They do a fantastic happy hour early evening which you must book for because it's always busy! Good selection on the menu, dessert selection a little boring but you often get that in Itslian establishments. Lovely food which I cannot fault. Will be back

There is no shortage of Italian restaurants in Carlisle but it is hard to look past this family-run, unpretentious restaurant on The Crescent, conveniently situated opposite the railway station between the shopping centre and the bars of Botchergate. Without the offhand service and arrogant management of some of its local rivals, La Mezzaluna offers a warm welcome and friendly service... More

The menu is extensive with a great choice which would satisfy the fussiest of eaters, and I would go on to... More

We had a great meal in the early-bird deal - the choice, quality and portion sizes were not compromised by the deal, and we were very happy that we'd chosen Mezzaluna.

I live in Carlisle and it is one of the Italian restaurants I go to regular. With family, friends or as a couple. It is close to most of the local pubs. I have never had a bad meal yet. Food is always piping hot and tasty. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. It has a good menu. I think... More

A trip to Carlisle is not complete without a visit to La Mezzaluna. The happy hour menu is great value at £5 for selected mains. This time I opted for a plain pasta dish followed by a delicious homemade chocolate cheesecake with extra ice cream. 10 out of 10. This is why we will always return, friendly staff and great... More

Its handy for bus and train station. The pastas and pizzas are available at discounts during extended happy hours but there is little atmosphere and a bit lacking in ambience. Great for a quick shoppers lunch when just looking for a break.

had pizza for an early supper there while visiting carlisle. food was good and tasty. however since it was a friday there were lots of people and it was very noisy; you could barely hear yourself think. atmosphere was not really for a romantic dinner but it did the job for a quick meal.
