Amato's - Carlisle

We have been going to Amato's for years and the food is always delicious and the service warm and friendly. It's one of our favourite restaurants. The affogato is the perfect way to end a hearty Sicilian meal!

Super meals everyone enjoyed. Staff lovely. Steak cooked to perfection. You got to try the roast potatoes.

We visited this restaurant last night and were thoroughly impressed. Initially, our table reservation was for later than we would have liked, but they called us as soon as a table was available so we could come earlier - a nice touch. The staff were welcoming and it was clear that they enjoyed their work. The girl who took our drink order was very pleasant (sorry, we didn't catch her name). Our waitress for the evening, Evie, was an absolute asset to the restaurant - polite, friendly, and attentive, as were all the staff. The food was excellent - the garlic mushrooms were the best I've ever had, and my partner enjoyed meatballs in a delicious tomato sauce. I opted for the sea bass, which was absolutely gorgeous and served with perfectly cooked roast vegetables. My partner had the spaghetti bolognese, which was also cooked to perfection and very tasty. We had garlic pizza as a side and were too full for dessert! The restaurant was full when we arrived, but the atmosphere was not too noisy. The table spacing was ideal, so we didn't feel cramped. The open cooking area allowed us to see the chefs at work. We will definitely be back soon - we highly recommend this place.

Called in on Saturday for lunch and took advantage of the Happy Hour offer. The pizza and pasta we ordered were delicious and an absolute bargain. Service was speedy and friendly. Will call again.

This restaurant is consistently fantastic every time we go. It's a beloved spot for both our family and friends, and we go often. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly.
