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!
My food was exceptional, my wife's was cold. On balance would be prepared to give this restaurant another chance.

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!

The Italian Garden Restaurant didn't look the most inviting from the approach through the arch and the rain soaked tables but inside was clean, comfortable and contemporary. We ordered two adult pizzas, one child's and a pasta dish and all were great quality and very tasty. The portions were generous and we ended up taking a whole pizza home. Service was very good (but we were the only diners inside). On top of this the lunchtime deal included a free glass of prosecco and a peroni which made the bill very reasonable. A great lunch.
Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.
