Excellent food, very pleasant service, handy location, nice clean and authentic interior, good atmosphere. The pizzas are made as you watch, with the oven in the main restaurant area. Very tasty pizza and the chips are divine. I also had a mixed salad which was ok but a little soggy. the rocket and parmesan salad is ok too. Food quality... More

You can never go wrong with an Italian meal and this restaurant didn't disappoint. They do special 'early diner' offers if you eat there before 6:30. We were welcomed into the restaurant and shown to a seat - we hadn't booked but this didn't seem to be a problem. We had looked at the menu on the board outside so... More

We popped in for a quick pizza and were shown to our table for two. It seems that all the small tables are arranged around the edge of the room and mostly at an oblique angle. This creates the extremely odd situation of all the couples sitting around the edge if the room looking at the bigger tables in the... More

Called into Rastellis for a pizza before going home. We were glad we did. Garlic bread was tasty and my Pepperoni Pizza was excellent. June had Calzone & really enjoyed it. The staff were very attentive drinks appeared very quickly the boss was very hands on all in all I would definatly eat. here again.

Made the mistake of ordering garlic bread to eat before the starter (I was hungry). It was the size of a pizza! The food was delicious, I had Spaghetti Bolognese for my main course, my wife had cannelloni with a side salad plus a bottle of wine shared. Very nice meal but again, beware the size of the garlic bread!

Looking nothing special from the outside, the only reason we entered was because we had been recommended. Once inside, the busy and bustling atmosphere soon captivated us. The waitresses were smiling and helpful, the menu enhanced by several "specials" and the pricing of all a pleasant surprise. Really good food, fast and efficient service and no sting in the tail....

We ate at the restaurant in April 2013. It was a busy night and we were told they required the table by eight which wasn't a problem. When the food arrived we were disappointed with the portion size, we paid £11 for a pasta dish which was the size of a starter. We compalined and were given our starters and... More

The food and atmosphere is good but the experience is spoiled by being rushed. We have dined here a number of times but I don't think we will be back as when you are paying these sort of prices you expect to enjoy the whole experience. Instead you feel as if they can not get rid of you quick enough,... More

We were really looking forward to dining out at this restaurant after seeing the reviews on TA and receiving a recommendation from one of the locals while on our two-day break in Bowness. However, although there were only a handful of other customers during our visit, the whole experience felt extremely rushed. That said, unfortunately the food wasn't something you... More
