Casa Romana — Restaurant in Carlisle

My wife and I have not been here since covid began. We loved it when we have been in the past but were not sure whether or not to go out or stay in given the rise in prices that seems to be hitting everything. However since it was to selebrate our 12 year wedding anniversary we decided to treat ourselves. And I'm so pleased we did. We booked last minute but we were fitted in with no problems. When we arrived we were quickly seated and drinks order taken. we ordered starters and mains which came in good time and were both delicious. After our mains we served we ordered some much needed garlic bread, (wasn't wasting any of the delicious sauce) this was no problem and rushed out to us by one of the chefs who even apologised for taking so long despite it being our fault for not ordering it in the the first. The friendly attentive waiters checked on us and ensured we were OK with our meal. If I had to give one small criticism it would be that one young waiter was a little eager to clear our plates away as we had literally just finished but he was very polite and we just put it down to possibly being new and a little over eager to please We shared a desert and got the bill. We were shocked to find the bill came to only £65 ,around the same as pre covid. I'm pleased to say I work for a wholesaler that supplies some of the food and drink to casa romana and know first hand the rise in costs so, to see they are able to turn out excellent food at reasonable prices is good to see.

Over all, Excellent food Excellent service Very reasonable prices.

Deffinatly...

I've been back at my accommodation 5 minutes and knew that this review was the first thing I had to do! Just got back from Casa Romana having eaten one of the best meals of my life - and as a vegan too. Massive menu, and a huuuge choice of vegan options. I went for the Vegan Gustaso pizza and it was the richest, most flavoursome pizza I've ever eaten - surprisingly (and deliciously) creamy...Could have any extra toppings too which was an added bonus! Couldn't resist their big selection of vegan desserts either, so went for the sticky toffee pudding - yet again, superb quality.

All in all, stunning food and at a fantastic price too. Casa Romana obviously put so much effort into making their food entirely inclusive of all diets (vegan and gluten-free specifically), and as a vegan, it is truly appreciated! The service was also incredibly good, and the chef himself brought out my food and spoke to us personally at the end.

Very very sad that I am only in Carlisle for one night - this place is certainly a reason to come back! Thank you...

Well, I booked for 530 for four people. Was told they would need the table back for 7pm, fair enough I was prior warned. However upon arrival....."you were booked for 5pm, its on my list, your late I gave your table away", no I booked for 530....was told there was a floating table ....sat down, was rushed from start to finish...we couldn't have eaten aby quicker, after being told, 30 minutes to cook our calzones...again, fair enough, they arrived after 50 mins....asked by another member of staff if we wanted the dessert menu...oh yes please...its my mams 60th....only to be told by original.women we wouldn't have time as she wanted this table back and apparantly she did tell me this when we arrived..that was not the case as we were now in a floating table..never felt so rushed, won't be back, dodnt get dessert, just aswrll we didn't get a starter....no chance of coffees at the end.....noted another table eqs being rushed by this lady...
