Nice to have options - Edit
It was nice to see quite a few dishes could be veganised and there was a chocolate cake. The options themself were ok, but nothing special. Very large portions and nice cheese, but rather salty and the parmigiana didn’t resemble a parmigiana I had before and included gnocchi(?). It was also pretty pricey.

If I could give it 5 stars, I would! - Edit
Clearly stated vegan options on menu, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, but most of all delicious food! Visited twice on a recent trip to Windermere, had the vegan aubergine parmigiana and the vegan calzone, both were fresh and tasty with good portion sizes. Had vegan chocolate cake for dessert, which was also lovely! Can be busy even in the week, but on the second visit, sat outside and enjoyed the provided blankets!
Read morePros: Delicious vegan options, clearly listed on menu , Friendly staff , Good value for money
Cons: Can be busy-but for good reason!

Very nice food - Edit
The food here is good. The bread and olives are good, the Vegetable Risotto is also nice, but the Penne Arabbiatta is the best.

Lots of options - Edit
No vegan menu but it is clear what can be made vegan and what cannot.
Read moreWe ordered a pizza and a baked gnocci.
They are generous with their servings of vegan cheese and pizza toppings.
The food was delicious and the staff friendly.

This was by far the best Italian for vegan options including one on the chefs specials menu. Food was delicious and portions were large. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the restaurant had a lovely vibe.

Delicious Food - Edit
The menu isn’t clearly marked, but one dish offered vegan cheese so I knew they would have it. Had to double check my order went through as vegan, but I had the spaghetti AOP and vegan garlic cheese bread, so, so good!!

Gorgeous food and quick service - Edit
Lovely little Italian restaurant with loads of vegan options and items which can be made vegan on request, so do let your server know that you are vegan.
Read moreTo start, we got the cheese and tomato garlic bread which used a lovely vegan cheese that wasn’t too overpowering and also the bruschetta. Both starters were absolutely lovely!
For my main I got the gnocchi al forno which was topped with vegan cheese and contained roasted vegetables and a tomato sauce. It was so delicious! I only managed to finish half because the starters filled me up so I got half to take home. Omni partner was also very happy with his meal so good choices for all.
The service was lovely, we arrived absolutely starving so were very happy to get 2 courses to the table within about 15-20 minutes!
*I would have given this 5 stars but HappyCow won’t let me due to it not being a fully vegan/veg restaurant*
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Quick service, Delicious food

Wonderful Italian Restaurant with multiple vegan choices. - Edit
We managed to get a table for two without booking, which was ever so fortunate as we were then witness to more than a dozen people being turned away without reservations.
Read moreIts a cosy little restaurant of around 20 seats, featuring an open kitchen & knowledgeable manager.
After having a brief chat with our waiter, whom I assumed was also the manager, we were spoilt for choice, not only did he make great recommendations, but also steered us away from some options that he felt didn't taste so good with the substitution of vegan cheese (even though he likes vegan cheese).
Having tasted the soup, the stew, the gnocchi & the garlic pizza (all vegan) I would say you'd be hard tasked to find something that isn't delicious.
I would definitely recommend & I will be visiting again in the future.
Pros: Multiple Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options Can Be Made Vegan, Friendly
Cons: Reservation Advised

Decent food - Edit
Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and marked where vegetarian food could be made vegan. This included pasta, pizza and calzone.
Read moreI had the vegan gnocchi and it was huge! Very filling and overall tasty, but very oily.
Also had garlic pizza base which was vegan- the menu offered options to have it with cheese, and this could be vegan cheese.
My boyfriend (non veggie) had an appetiser with bread which unfortunately had mold on it, so not too happy about that.
Alcohol was not marked as vegetarian or vegan.
Atmosphere was nice and staff friendly.
Pros: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, Large portions, Affordable

Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere. I felt spoilt for choice here, a rarity amongst Italian restaurants!
Read moreThe baked gnocchi was really tasty, highly recommend it as long as you're a vegan cheese fan!
The tomato and chilli garlic bread was fab too, but very spicy so be aware!
Pros: Lots of options

Great find for vegan food. - Edit
Very friendly staff who were happy to help. We didn’t book but the manager was happy to squeeze us in. I’d not seen this menu online before coming but after been turned away by other restaurants we finally got in here. The menu was great and had a wide range of options. The first time in Bowness where I’ve have to choose between a few options.
