Good but definitely not brilliant - Edit
Visited here for dinner whilst in Lake District, personally I think it’s over rated. The starters were good not brilliant, the mains were honestly bland and not what the menu says.
Read moreMy dish was the Moroccan spiced filo pasty, creamy potatoes with spring onion with pomegranate and romesco sauce, just to confirm I had dry mash potatoes no cream what so ever neither any spring onions and about 5 pomegranates pieces.
The desserts were very good (I had the chocolate avocado mousse) and I would say the presentation was good on some of the dishes.

Fancy food at reasonable prices - Edit
Despite wondering if the restaurant was still open due to the slightly run down exterior, my wife and I had a wonderful meal here recently on our honeymoon in the lakes.
Read moreThe food was delicious, and very welcome considering we were finding good vegan dinner options quite challenging to come by in Ambleside. Whilst I think the starters could use a bit more variation (most were salad dishes from my recollection), it didn't stop them being very tasty, and the main courses and desserts were fantastic - very high quality food at a very reasonable price.
The wine list was also excellent and we loved that vegan and vegetarian wines were marked out, something that is quite hard to come by in our experience.
We had a lovely time and would definitely come back!
Pros: High quality fine dining style food, Very reasonable prices, Vegan wine list
Cons: A few too many salad starters

Wonderful flavours and attentive staff - Edit
On approaching from the south end of Ambleside I did wonder if it was still open. It looks a bit run down from one side. But upon entering everything is great. Nice clean rest rooms and well spaced out tables. I did however manage to catch one of their table cloths as I sat and pull over the fresh flowers in their vase. The staff were very quick to respond and sorted it with little fuss. The food was most excellent I had a celeriac and red pepper soup with three types of bread. The moussaka was one of the tastiest moussaka I have had accompanied with potatoes. I did order a side of sweet potatoes as I do eat a lot but couldn’t finish as I needed to leave room for dessert. Which was a avocado chocolate mousse. Again all very pleasant. Wide range of drinks available. A very good expertise all around.
Read morePros: Very well made fine food, Pleasant ambience, Attentive staff
Cons: Possibly on the dear side

A must for every visit to the The Lakes - Edit
Every mouthful was densely packed with just really good flavour!
Read moreA vegetarian place, but majority of options were vegan or could be veganised.
A classy venue - having just chanced our luck after a hike, we felt underdressed!
The prices were reasonable but the whole experience meant it was easily worthy of a special occasion.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Struggled to get through on phone to book.

Dinner and a show. - Edit
Fellini’s is a wonderful experience for any veggie/vegan visiting the Lake District. The service is attentive, the food came out fast and the staff are vigilant about adhering to public health guidelines (every other table is blocked out). The chefs are very experienced as the presentation of the food was considered, with aspects of fine dining including the decorative plating.
Read moreFellini’s feels like an Ambleside institution, a must visit for any vegan visiting. Plus, the dinner and cinema deal is great value for money.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Healthy , Good value

Mediterranean take on Vegan Dining - Edit
Service was great, vegan choices many and delicious food. I had the toasted ciabata to start and the nut roast for main. The nut roast was presented like a pork loin using pastry as the "fat" which was clever.
Read morePros: Service with a smile, lots of options, Vegan wine
Cons: Decor similar to a Chinese restaurant in West End.

Not to miss in Ambleside - Edit
We had an absolutely lovely evening at Fellini’s, despite the COVID-19 measures and regulations. The staff really made us feel welcome and appreciated, and they did everything to keep the highest hygiene and safety standards. And that’s not even mentioning the food...! Everything we had was delicious, and there was so much to choose from, also for strict vegans. Highly recommended! I would definitely go back.

Absolutely FANTASTIC - Edit
It's not entirely vegan (but pretty much) the menu is 99% vegan and first time 'ever' that from starter to dessert I had enjoyed every last bit. The soup was incredible (courgette and rosemary) and the rest as well, I am just so impressed I can't say better than that haha. Which I could go back but it's for a proper night out, so count about £40 a head if you want a full on menu.

Wonderful restaurant - Edit
We ate here last weekend and it was just perfect. One of my favourite meals we have eaten out. Every course was delicious - especially the zucchini cannelloni - and the service was great. The staff all seemed to understand our needs as vegans, which was nice too. Fantastic value for money given the quality of food and service offered.

A Perfect Meal - Edit
Took my partner here in our last evening in the Lakes hoping that it would be a highlight and it completely outdid my expectations. I was surprised by how classy it was inside with lovely dim lighting and a formal but relaxed ambience. The presentation was really nice and the table service was really top notch. The vegan options were not as extensive as I hoped they could have been but the ones available were really good. The menu looks like it changes regularly too. This is definitely the grown up sister to Zeffirelli's.
Read morePros: Great setting and mood, Service and presentation were really good, Food was seasonal and high quality
Cons: Wouldn't be very small children here.

Excellent vegan food - Edit
Really enjoyed eating here. For starters, I had broccoli, celery and almond soup and it was tasty. For main, had the nut roast rolled with courgette with fondant potatoes and red wine jus. Was delicious and hearty. Just what I needed on a chilly autumn evening! I usually find eating out as a vegan a disappointing but this place has restored my faith! My boyfriend enjoyed his vegetarian meal a lot too. We got the cinema deal (2 courses and a ticket to the cinema for £23.75 each)

Touch of class - Edit
I have eaten here on two occassions and both visits have been excellent. The seasonal menu is thoughtful and well-executed, with a good selection for vegans. The wine selection is also very good, with vegan wines clearly indicated in the menu. Service is attentive, efficient and friendly - it is a joy to dine at Fellinis!
Read morePros: Good vegan selection, Decent wine list, High quality
