There is no shortage of Italian restaurants in Carlisle but it is hard to look past this family-run, unpretentious restaurant on The Crescent, conveniently situated opposite the railway station between the shopping centre and the bars of Botchergate. Without the offhand service and arrogant management of some of its local rivals, La Mezzaluna offers a warm welcome and friendly service... More

My wife and I live in Carlisle and often book La Mezzaluna for an evening meal,the food is always great quality,the steaks are to die for, always cooked exactly to your liking,with a choice of veg, salad, or chips.

had pizza for an early supper there while visiting carlisle. food was good and tasty. however since it was a friday there were lots of people and it was very noisy; you could barely hear yourself think. atmosphere was not really for a romantic dinner but it did the job for a quick meal.
