About

Casa Bella is very much a family business with Andrew celebrating 20 years of ownership this year. Wife Sarah and her daughter Lily manage our separate Gelateria in Keswick during the tourist season, while Matthew, Andrew’s son, makes all our gelato for both venues at bespoke premises in nearby Braithwaite. Homemade and local are themes that run throughout everything we make, with local flavour and authentic taste the foundation of everything we produce. Our menus offer traditional Italian dishes alongside Head Chef Guini’s daily specials and smaller dishes for the little ones.

Lovely Italian restaurant in Market Square of Keswick. Very popular with locals. Excellent service. Food equally good. Atmosphere buzzing. Recommend eating here.

Delicious food and generous portion sizes. Just what’s needed after a long day of walking! Staff were really friendly and I didn’t feel rushed even though I was on my own. I managed to get in without a booking and food came quickly even though they were very busy. I had pinot Grigio, chicken liver parfait, risotto del mare and mixed sorbets. All of which were lovely. Will definitely be back!

Amazing food and great service. We went for a three course dinner. So delicious and well presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful, on what seemed to be a busy week night we were able to get a table straight away without reservation, though we did visit out of peak season. I had the Tuscan Pork which was amazing and I can highly recommend it.

We’d had a hell of a day and just wanted somewhere to eat, and we were so glad we picked this place. The food was like heaven and we both thoroughly enjoyed it - still haven’t stopped thinking about it. We were struggling to decide what we wanted from the menu and the staff were kind, patient, and suggested some things off the menu. The lamb and sea bass is what we went for and both were delicious and beautifully cooked. Incredible flavours in both. Best potatoes either of us have had in a long time! And the veggies were cooked to perfection. Then for dessert we had the cheesecake of the day (raspberry and white chocolate) and gelato. Again, phenomenal taste - so creamy and delicious, beautifully presented! Can’t wait to eat here again one day (hopefully soon). Found a true gem in Keswick with this place!

Restaurant looked busy, and we were craving pasta. Ended up getting the arabiatta as it was one of the few veggie options. Full of olives and tasted like school dinner to be honest. Not worth it. Sweet potato fries and mayonnaise was really good though. Regret not getting the pizza.

We had a fantastic family meal here, the service was excellent, really friendly and helpful. They have good gf options, pizza pasta, meat dishes and desserts. It was busy, even on a Monday evening so recommend booking in advance. Unfortunately the tiramisu was sold out, so were going back! Dietary restrictions: Many gf options on the menu, safe for coeliac Kid-friendliness: Staff friendly with the staff, they have a childrens menu.

Very nice and busy restaurant and I enjoyed the food. However, if you are looking for an authentic Italian pizza bare this in mind: Here you will get a wonderful british-italian fusion of what you are looking for. I never had cheddar on a pizza before. It was still nice though.

5 of us ate here one Friday evening, during early November. Fortunately, I had pre-booked, which was ideal as the restaurant was completely full. We had a range of dishes between us, including lasagne, pizza, and sea bass. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing a good service and the food was excellent. With drinks, a main and dessert, it was about £40pp. The restaurant is situated just around the corner from the main high street and theres plenty of on street parking nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed this establishment and would definitely like to return. It was a great place to visit.

Absolutely superb stop off meal. Was seated quickly in the busy restraunt and was greeted with open arms. Service was quick and with a smile and was taken through the different options of the menu and even offered the chefs speciality dish. The pizzas are to die for; thin, crispy Italian style with a Sundae for desert. 10/10.

Ate dinner there tonight, and the food was exquisite! Delicious, with enormous portions. I m looking forward to having my leftovers for lunch tomorrow! The service, however, was very poor. A friendly person welcomed and seated us, but then our server seemed to expect us to order before we had time to study the menu. Entrees came at the same tome as salads. I would have liked to have had water with my meal, but no one came by to ask, nor did anyone check on us or ask how we enjoyed our meals. When it came time to pay our bill, again there was no one to ask, and we had to go up to the bar to pay. But the food was truly excellent, so kudos to the chef. Maybe I. m critical of the service because we have just come from 5days in Scotland, where virtually everyone was welcoming, friendly, and wonderful. Meeting new people is tome one of the greatest part of travel.

October 22, 2024

Visited due to it appearing well rated. Service staff lovely. Manager, rude. Food salty and not good quality and priced too high for the quality. We won t be back and an expensive lesson learned.

Fab Italian, do book in advance as it gets busy here for a reason. Clean, nice atmosphere, menu was nicely laid out and a good variety of options, food and drinks served in good time, staff are very friendly and happy to help. We had the camembert sharer which was lovely. Stuffed chicken was delicious and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Very delicious. Plentiful options for pudding, the warm chocolate fudge cake and ice cream is the best weve had and it was a very generous portion. You can choose ice cream to take away at good prices, would recommend doing this even if youre passing through.

We ordered the vegetable arrabiata and venison. However, the pasta was overcooked that it fell apart in the bowl and the venison was overcooked too so had the consistency of rubber. I had to send the venison back as it was inedible and swapped it for the lamb, which was softer. However, the cook forgot the vegetables in the new dish, but I did not mention it. The potatoes were good though and the cook was nice to add more flavour to them as requested. Perhaps more practice with perfecting these details could enhance the execution of the dishes. The flavours and presentation of the dishes were very rich, however - its the texture that needs work. The service was excellent and the waitresses were very attentive, friendly, and accommodating.

Italian food that we enjoyed: the first time there we had a shared board as a starter, then pasta and a lasagna. The second time we had individual starters then pizzas. Both meals were good and the house red went down really well with the food. Good atmosphere very busy, we booked online the first time, then turned up early and were able to get a table the second time. Always worth asking at the door, to see if there is a table, even if there if it looks very busy.

Me and the wife had dinner here on Monday. Even at 6.45 the place was filling up quickly, and we now know why. From the greeting to the departure everything was exceptional. The garlic chilli prawn and the bruschetta starters were incredibly tasty. They did one of my favourite pizzas, but I dared to opt for the minced pork and prosciutto spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes and a creamy fennel-y sauce which was honestly probably the best pasta dish Ive had (in memory at least). My wife had a chicken carbonara (they can also do most of their menu gluten free, which is a huge thumbs up), which she absolutely loved! We werent planning on having desserts but I opted for tiramisu and my wife chose the homemade sticky toffee pudding (again, made gluten free), both were sublime. At 3 courses and a glass of wine each our bill was £80 which was more than reasonable, given the quality of everything. I highly recommend this place and would like to extend a personal thanks to the foh and boh, both of which made our experience one to remember. If were ever back in the area well definitely be coming back here!

Message to the owners: We tried to get a table to celebrate my birthday, and we received a terrible welcome. The grey hair gentleman was super unfriendly, not even simple Hello was said to us. We understand that it would be better if we had a reservation in advance, but there was no need for an attitude towards us. Total lack of customer service from this gentleman. This person should never work at the front desk. We just thought you should know.

Excellent food and service, great atmosphere. Friendly staff. We had the short rib beef and the salmon carbonara and we swapped halfway through. Both dishes were very tasty but the salmon carbonara just edged it because it was so light. We did start with a tomato garlic bread which was very light and crisp but for us, just needed to have a bit more sauce. We were tempted by desserts and we had Tiramisu and a salted caramel ice cream. Again, both very tasty. In summary, a really nice meal, in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff. We both said we would come back again.

February 22, 2024

They try and squeeze everyone in one small space which means you get no room or privacy. We never received our starter we ordered and my main wasn t that great. Nice place but feels like you are being rushed to finish to get next people in even though you have time as advised when booking.

Mouthwatering food! We came here after a long walk up Cat Bells and boy we did not leave hungry! Starting off we had garlic bread for the table and olives to share. Lovely thin and crispy garlic bread that was not shy on the garlic. Delicious. Moving to starters we had: White bait - lovely large crispy fillets (without the head to my girlfriends liking) and a sharp lemon mayo to accompany. Chilli and Garlic Prawns - as you can see in the picture they were huge and plump! Perfectly cooked I could ve ordered another plate! For main course I had pistachio crumbed lamb which was cooked to perfection. Pink in the middle and so tender you could cut with a spoon. It didn t need the red wine sauce it was that tasty by itself! Chicken & vegetable arrabbiata - delicious, slightly spicy, good portion size Tuscan Pork - wow. Amazing! Such a delicious dish. The depth and richness of the sauce was mind blowing. Would love to have the recipe to recreate at home! 10/10. Would highly recommend if you re nearby.

Edit - we returned a year later and the team were so welcoming, the restaurant so clean and the menu SO GOOD. We actually ended up going back the next day to have the dessert because the meal sizes do not skimp and we couldnt find space for the gellato. STAFF KNEW THEIR GLUTEN FREE STUFF AND TOOK IT SERIOUSLY! Absolutely lovely staff, so welcoming it has a lovely atmosphere If youre looking for a gluten-free option, this place is amazing! They had both pasta and pizza options (omg gosh the goats cheese pizza!) and I felt really comfortable and safe eating there. Dietary restrictions: Staff really understood gluten free needs and took it very seriously (including a cute little flag in my pizza to mark it gluten free and telling me what on my partners plate I definitely couldnt touch - alas the chips!) Left completely comfortable eating here. Parking: Plenty of council owned parking a short walk away.

Rude staff - I dont expect much and understand the dynamics of a busy service, but to be left waiting outside waiting with my 5 yr old for ice cream and have members of staff continually ignore us is bad in my book, all it would of needed was a really sorry we will be with you shortly but to be ignored over and over is infuriating, especially when the staff are coming to the ice cream to fill desserts and trying as hard as they can not to make eye contact. Safe to say I walked off and went to the friendly ice parlour round the corner. Really shows the restaurants true colours.

I wouldn t recommend this place for lunch. They got got my pasta wrong. When I pointed it out, they didn t offer to exchange it. But it tasted funny, on my second complaint they offered to change it. There was no prawns in the seafood pasta and the service was terrible. The lady at the billing made a rather rude comment about the pasta that we ate, saying you had all of it despite it being a wrong order. Additionally we missed out w bus due to their mix up of our order. In all, I wouldn t recommend this place at all, they hardly had any options for the lunch and within the limited options, the food and service was bad. Skip it for their lunch service.

We booked this place in advance on the strength of our sons it was all right after a visit a few months ago, as we were travelling a hundred miles and wanted to be sure we could eat somewhere From arriving to leaving every aspect of the visit was enjoyable. The food especially(lasagne with garlic bread for my wife and a rustic vegetable arrabiatta with penne and garlic bread,for me) was delicious and compliments were sent to the kitchen. The place was busy,the food was great and the prices are typical of the sort of place we like to visit for food...and last but by no means least all the staff ee encountered were friendly and welcoming.

This is the third time we have eaten here and ordered garlic bread and olives as our starter and every time we have been served the bread and no olives and had to ask for them. The napkins are like blue paper roll which is not a good look for the restaurant. I ordered the seafood pomidor which was slightly underwhelming , prawns were miniscule, and mussels served out of shells, squid was overcooked. I have been three times to this restaurant and a think it has deteriated I appreciate times are tough but prices are not cheap and the experience should be better for the price.

Great atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. I tried the white chocolate cheesecake which was absolutely delicious and would honestly be the best I have ever had. Unfortunately the rack of lamb which I took for mains was rather chewy though I understand that it is very hard to cook lamb to be tender. The reason why I have rated the service at 3 is because a coffee which was ordered didnt arrive and we had to remind the staff of an ice cream which we ordered too. Overall I would highly suggest eating here but would definitely recommend booking ahead of time as times between 6 and 8 are eaten up very quickly! Parking: No parking on site but there is an easily accessible car park about 200 yards away.

Arrived at 2100 for a very quick takeaway icecream and was met by a very rude (bald) staff member pushed into the queue and stated that they were closed, and did not want to help us. The staff member who was inside seemed to think that it was fine however the outside staff was very rude and aggressive unnecessarily, so we departed without anything and will not be returning.

Lively atmosphere and a serving team that were always present but not intrusive. I had a good pizza; The Hot Sticks one, and my partner had the seafood risotto from the specials board. Both very flavourful and freshly cooked. Seemed a popular hangout, with a good mix of happy faces. Priced well at about £15 a head for mains, plus drinks.

We like Casa Bella in Keswick. The service is friendly and the food is generally really good. The ice cream is great and the ice cream sundaes on the desert menu are really generous. I find the restaurant a little cramped in place so when its full (its always full when weve gone) getting in an out of your seat can be a challenge. I had the seafood pasta (tomato sauce version) on my last visit. Tasty and a reasonable portion. Im not sure why they have only partially shelled the prawns for the dish it is makes it incredibly difficult to eat without making a mess. I imagine theres a reason for it but I wouldnt order it again in a rush. Generally though, everyone always looks forward to our annual visit and well be going back. Make sure you book well in advance for busy periods.

After coming to Keswick for many many years we dont know how weve missed Casa Bella before. Maybe because its always busy. Best to book on line well in advance to achieve a 7.30ish slot. Choice of food, quality and service is excellent, though it does work out a little expensive. The Affagatto, coffee with gelato and cream finishes off the meal perfectly. We are going here twice the holiday.

Parking: Double yellows in streets all around as its so close to centre of Keswick. We were staying 250 yards away so not an issue for us, as we could walk there. Ignore minor parking issue and go there.

We visited casa Bella this evening with high hopes. After waiting 40 minutes for our starters to come we where greeted with our main meals. We explained that we were still waiting for starters and the waitress went back to the kitchen. She reappeared a few minutes later to tell us that someone who had just started didnt realise we hadnt had our starters. We asked for everything to be brought out together which it was but the experience left a sour taste. Paid £60 for the privilege. Shame because the food was nice, a decent apology would have been appreciated before we were leaving the restaurant.

A decent place for an evening meal If that way, give it a try. Dietary restrictions: One of my party is gluten intollerant; on the whole handled well albeit we remain unsure if the sauce with dinner was actually gluten free ir not so worth double checking if you are intolerant in anyway to make sure before completing your order.

We were visiting the Lakes (not our first time but still getting to know Keswick) it was our anniversary so I booked a table weeks in advance for four of us. When we arrived they didnt seem to have set a table for us a lady behind the bar shouted over to the young guy some directions as to where to sit us. I cant remember the exact sentence she used but it was something like not on a .... and the guy shouted it back just to make sure he had got all the info. It all just sounded very negative and the way they were just shouting to each other lowered the tone of the restaurant instantly. We were then sat on a tiny table next to an old rusty, metal bookcase thing used for all the sauces and extra napkins etc. There were lots of free tables around us. My husband asked about the table and the guy just said thats all we have and walked off. The food for three of us was amazing (but it was pizza so not that tricky but very nice pizza) but I just chose wrong and my pasta was too spicy but that was my bad. The host was lovely, going around chatting to all the guests and taking pictures - lovely very friendly, great host. We had take away three hills ice cream after which I think is the best ice cream EVER! And so we came back many times for just that. I was really looking forward to spending my anniversary in Keswick and I love Italian food but this restaurant really disappointed us.

Went on Sunday for a quick meal. We booked and got a lovely table by the window. It is a popular place and soon filled up. It did seem to cater well for big groups. The food and service were first class. Seafood Pasta was lovely and there was a lot of it. I couldnt fit in a pudding. My partners pizza was also very good. Crispy and spicy. We really enjoyed our weekend in Keswick. Everywhere we ate was first class.
