Fermento - Italian Family Kitchen

Fermento is the best traditional Italian restaurant in the Lake District.

The menu offers a variety of authentic Italian dishes, which had the warmth of homemade food. The chef, Alessandro, takes care selecting fresh local food and genuine Italian ingredients.

The service was outstanding. Carla is always around willing to help you with nice description of each dish and wine selection.

If you never been before at Fermento I would strongly suggest the “Italian experience”. A seasonal menu, which includes six different dishes in a testing menu of four courses.

I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough!

A charming and cozy, shop front, Italian run, family restaurant and takeaway pizza place. Friendly and helpful service (Carla). Daily specials, drinks menu, and dessert options. An array of delicious crispy base, pizza variations, with Italian regional flavours to complement the typical pizza types and other Italian dishes. Veggie options and salads. A short walk from public paid parking, £1 after 7pm. Advise booking for Friday dinners, as it was full with happy diners!

Discovered this wonderful Italian restaurant recently. Always great service, excellent pizzas, wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Don’t miss out!

Absolutely delicious pizza, we've eaten pizza in Rome and New York and this was easily up there with some of the best! The Smoky Margarita and The Breathtaker were both delicious as was the Caprese salad. Lovely little restaurant too with excellent service and nice cocktails.

Lovely Italian pizza served here! We had a lovely meal to celebrate the last night of our holiday. The staff are really friendly and the food is great. Our children were able to have smaller pizzas, which they also really enjoyed. Tiramisu for pudding was also super creamy and delicious.

Fermento was fully booked when we tried to eat there but Carla offered to call us as soon as a table became available and so we did mange to eat there and what a treat! I had the best pizza I've ever eaten in the UK and the tiramisu was divine. A lovely meal to finish a lovely week in the lake district!

Cute little restaurant, only 4 tables so booking is a must. The owners are very nice and friendly. The pizza however is a bit questionable, the pizza base and sauce are nice, fresh mozzarella but I really wish they had use fresh mushrooms and not canned or jared. Also I had olives on my pizza and I think they should have been sliced not left whole. Other than the two things I think it's nice enough.

We had the most amazing meal last night
The mixed starter was amazing & the pizza was very light & extremely tasty
I would highly recommend this restaurant
