Had the polar opposite experience alot of the negative reviews. Ordered 2 mains and 3 sides which came out quick and smoothly. The amount of food we was presented with shocked us. The sides were mains in other restaurants. The service was quick and timely and everyone was lovely to us. We went in early February so was quite quiet but that made it feel bit more homely. Loved the spot.

Whilst staying in Windermere for the night, we decided to go to la trottoria and I’m so glad we did. The service was spot on and fast, the staff were so lovely and accommodating. The food was incredible, it was hot fresh and tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Will definitely eat her again the next time we visit Windermere!

Authentic Italian cuisine, lasagna and seafood soup are rich in flavour. The clerk is also very enthusiastic.

The place itself feels so authentic and has such a good atmosphere... and the food is 10/10! The roasted wedges were my favourite however the desserts weren't the most memorable. But overall such a lovely meal and would 100% recommend

My husband and I ate here on a Friday. It wasn't too busy and we were seated and served promptly. We got 2 different cocktails in the happy hour offer which is good as some places say you have to have 2 of the same. We are foodies but portion sizes are huge! I couldn't even finish the starter (the bean soup). The flavour in the mains was also lovely. Staff are friendly and we would recommend this place and come back.
