Very enjoyable meal at Misto. Staff is very helpful and works so hard. No reservations, just walk-ins, so expect to wait a while if it's busy. We waited 40 mins before being seated indoors. It's worth a visit as there are a few choices for something different.. Didn't get a 5 star because it is not exactly authentic Italian food, but it's very tasty.
Fantastic Italian restaurant in the very popular Ambleside.
After a brief wander around the centre we really liked the look of Misto and got a table on walk-in for lunch (before the restaurant got very busy by 2pm).
All staff were very friendly and prompt with their service. The interior style is quirky modern and cosy, and there was a nice atmosphere and buzz of people chatting and all enjoying their meals.
The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. I was particularly impressed to find gluten free gnocchi (first time in a UK restaurant in +20 years), and the gluten free pizza base was one of the best I have had (we even overheard another person double checking their pizza was definitely gluten free as they said it was so good).
I would go out of my way to go here again, a very nice place and overall dining experience!
Ok what can I say the staff was great the food was good the starter was good but the pizza was soggy and you can tell it was cook in an oven not a pizza oven over all pretty cheap would come again
We went whilst visiting Ambleside for my birthday. Beautiful restaurant. Beautiful food. Lovely and accommodating staff. Well worth the short wait for a table (it’s walk ins only but the system works really well) and would highly recommend it. The restaurant was filled with both visitors but also locals who visit time and time again❤️
Had a fantastic dinner here with my partner whilst on holiday. It is extremely popular with no booking system so you do have to give it some patience to get in. All the food is absolutely divine and tastes so fresh it is most definitely worth the wait. Once inside the service is very prompt without feeling as though we are being rushed out the door which was highly appreciated.
At Ambleside for a day and night. Saw this place on Google. Lovely small restaurant, great atmosphere, food was absolutely fantastic. We had melted goat cheese and caramelised onions on brushetta for starters. Mains we had king prawns linguine, vegetarian pizza and a bowl of chunky chips. The pizza was just lovely, stone baked, good amount of toppings thin and crispy. The King Prawn linguine was also very nice, very generous on the prawns, nice and creamy sauce. Chips were crispy and fluffy inside. Highly recommend this place.
Beautiful italian restaurant. Loads of choises in the menu. Lovely wine, delicious camembert and tasty steak.
4 star for small details like eating and drinking in front of guest, the menus can be left more nicer on the table and prioritising the customers more than chatting.
If the service will be improved, this restaurant has loads of potential and loads to offer.
We will come back on our next holiday.
Excellent restaurant! Last Saturday evening we found ourselves without a reservation for dinner in Ambleside and thought we'd chance our luck here. We were greeted to a friendly welcome and told availability would be 15mins or so, so waited outside. Ended up talking to another couple waiting who said this place doesn't actually take bookings so you can tell its popular if a short queue outside the door!
Once seated, attentive staff for drinks and food. Wide range of choices on the menu and most importantly, food was delicious! Shout out to Tanya for top service. Would recommend!
Misto is amazing! We were having a night in Ambleside and decided to eat here after reading the reviews. It's walk in only so we were very lucky to get a table, but they do have seating outside which is heated. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us, and the food was delicious. We shared an Antipasti Board for starters which was very generous in size. I had Salmon Pasta which should be served with tagliatelle but I asked for this with Penne and they were happy to oblige. One of the best pastas I've had. My husband had the Smoked Chicken Gnocchi, which was also amazing. Very reasonably priced for the high standard of food. Would definitely recommend.
Nice staff, good food and relaxing atmosphere.
The portion sizes were good, I ordered Polo Milanese which was great. Side of Anchovies were also very fresh and the Tiramisu was good, it did come in a glass which isn’t my preference.
Saw the steak but didn’t have it, apparently it was quite fatty and gristly and the chunky chips were not good, so Id avoid that.
My partner loved her ceaser salad.
