San Pietro Windermere Restaurant - Windermere

Alexa Lewis

THE best Italian food by far I have tasted In a very long time, would say it’s the best meal I’ve ever had and I eat out a lot at wonderful restaurants around the world.
the starter of garlic prawns is enough to feed two of juicy succulent sweet perfectly cooked prawns in sweet cherry tomatoes, chilli and garlic, I could have drunk the sauce alone it was so good. The duck main course was out of this world, crispy slow roasted duck on thé sweetest red cabbage and smoothest mash you could ever eat ?outstanding is too little a compliment.
Don’t get me started on desert it blew our minds . Just go and enjoy food at its very best.

Incredibly rich and satisfying food. The waiters were very welcoming and friendly. The dining environment was rather intimate but did not feel crowded, giving it a homely feel.

Tried a gin martini to begin drinks and it was crisp, cold and refreshing. A well mixed cocktail.

The food was rich but not overpoweringly so. The classics, served exceptionally well. We had the arancini balls to begin with which were highly satisfying. Thin crispy batter and a sticky savoury risotto with just a hint of lemon. Excellent.

For the mains we had lasagne and duck leg confit. The confit was a masterclass in high quality food. Perfectly cooked duck leg, with a thin Ns crispy skin but a succulent and juicy meat inside. Buttered creamed potatoes and a beautifully simmered red cabbage, perfumed with wine and spices. The lasagne was a hearty thick wedge of perfection. Exquisite balance of rich meat ragu, bechamel and tomato, with satisfying layers of pasta.

For dessert we had limoncello cheesecake - tangy and refreshing, and also cherry bakewell with pistachio ice cream - sweet and cakey.

A wonderful experience. If you are in Windermere you really should consider booking a table.

The best lasagne I have ever had ? so glad we found this place. The staff, food and setting were all 10/10. The staff are so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning here and telling our family/friends about it.

The best Italian food we had in a while if not ever. Restaurant was located next to our B&B and we were very lucky to get a table without pre-booking.

The food is amazing. Wonderful crisp yet soft focaccia bread, calamari rings that actually focused on the calamari and not the breading.

The stars of the day were the seafood ravioli and the tiramisu. The ravioli had such a generous amount of filling, the pasta itself was like velvet and the sauce was perfectly balanced and seasoned. The tiramisu had the perfect ratio between mascarpone cream and biscuits drenched in coffee and liqueur (normally there is way too much mascarpone which makes it very heavy).

Also San Pietro has the most elaborate menu for cocktails and the service is fast and super friendly.

We have tried to book in here on a number of occasions but it has always been booked up so we booked quite a while ago.
After our experience here we can fully understand why you need to book in advance!
The Restaurant itself is really lovely inside with a really nice, rustic décor. The Team are very friendly & attentive and the food is gorgeous.
I ordered Garlic Prawn starter & Mrs K ordered the dressed Goat's cheese with fig & pear and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Garlic Prawns were delicious with plenty of sauce to enjoy too
My Mother & Father in Law both ordered the Fillet Steak and I enjoyed a beef dish from the specials, Mrs K ordered wild mushroom ravioli with a creamy wine garlic sauce. She said it was the best dish she has ever had which is quite some compliment given the amount of times we eat out.
My beef was so tender I think I could have eaten it with a spoon and the gravy that came with it really complimented the dish.
The steaks were great and the sides that accompanied it were sumptuous too
We were all too full to even think of a dessert but we really enjoyed our dinners and we would definitely recommend this Restaurant to anyone!
Remember book early to avoid disappointment!

Great food, atmosphere and service by the team. Staffs were welcoming and accommodating. Big portions is always a plus especially when the food is delicious. Best arancini I’ve had so far!

By far the best carbonara I’ve ever had. Excellent service and outstanding food. I can see why this is a very popular choice.
