Adriano’s Italian Restaurant – CarlisleFood was absolutely gorgeous really tasty excellent value for money and the service was amazing and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.would definitely recommend you pay a visit
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleUnfortunately the meal was not very good, tasteless and really inedible. The pizza seemed undercooked and just too much cheese, the Carbonara had very little taste. We've been a few times but really not good this time.
Adriano’s Italian Restaurant – CarlisleVery nice atmosphere very good service and excellent food.

Sage and Vine – CarlisleWhat an amazing find! We were looking for a convenient city centre location as we were dropping our daughter off at the station and this was really handy. But much more than that. It was superb. The service attentive, the ambience pleasing and the food itself absolutely outstanding. We had a variety of sharing plates and each one was distinctive and delicious. Thank you for a brilliant meal!

Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleFabulous evening, as always, food and service are always great.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFrom the moment we stepped through the door, Sage & Vine felt like a warm embrace. We travelled down from Glasgow for Diane’s 50th birthday celebration The ambiance is cozy and stylish, with soft lighting and thoughtful decor that sets the tone for a relaxed, intimate evening. But what truly elevates the experience is the service—genuinely exceptional. We were greeted with smiles and seated promptly, despite arriving slightly ahead of our booking. The staff struck that rare balance between professionalism and warmth. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations without being pushy. When we asked about wine pairings, our server gave spot-on suggestions that complemented our dishes beautifully. Throughout the meal, service was attentive but never intrusive. Plates were cleared discreetly, drinks topped up with perfect timing, and every interaction felt sincere. One staff member even noticed we were celebrating and brought over a complimentary dessert with a handwritten note—such a personal touch that made the evening unforgettable. The food itself was outstanding. We sampled a variety of small plates—the glazed chorizo, patatas bravas, and cod cheeks were all standouts. The garlic dip was a revelation. And the wood-fired “Macho” pizza? Bold, flavorful, and perfectly crisp. Sage & Vine isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to feel looked after. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just craving a great meal, this spot delivers on every front.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleExcellent food as always. Staff are friendly and professional and always smiling. Perfect.
Adriano’s Italian Restaurant – CarlisleWonderful dining experience. Delicious, top quality food. Very pleasant staff.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWhat can I say, top draw from start to finish. A warm welcome as soon as we got through the door and then directed to the table which had chilled water already on the table. The host asked if we had been before ( which we hadn't) so talked through the menu making suggestions on the options, and making sure we understood before asking us for the drinks order. The food was amazing, along with the Pinot Noir wine which was light and complemented the food. We will be back to try the other options on the menu.
Sage and Vine – Carlisle3 small plates or side dishes for £28, valid Tuesday to Friday 12 noon to 5pm.
