Giotto was great- we had a fabulous meal with attentive, friendly service and an interesting, reasonably priced menu. Would highly recommend.

Came across this gem of an Italian by chance on a Friday night. Decided we would venture in and were so pleased we did. The aroma of delicious Italian food and happy, smiling staff welcomed us at the door. We were politely informed they were fully booked but had a table free 45 minutes later. Not a problem for us...

Food very good, particularly the lobster ravioli and gnocchi with Gorgonzola. Service good, tables a little cosy. Worth a visit.

We liked Giotto for its simple but tasty, fresh Italian food. It is party hidden in a side street but well worthy of a visit. We only discovered it having met one of the staff whilst he was doing one of his other jobs in Ambleside. His loyalty was not misplaced and I personally think he should be given a... More

We turned up without a booking and they squeezed us in shifting other table booking to accommodate. Food was fast and delicious. Great service. Can't fault it.

While holidaying in the Lake district our Band B host recommended Giotto's so the four of us headed there after a long day . Good food and good service , reasonably priced wine . We really enjoyed it.

On arrival the restaurant looks lovely although very cramped, we were served promptly but myself an my partner were made to feel awkward and as if we were a burden the waitress didn't smile once, didn't make eye contact and was abrupt even when we tried to make a joke there was no response she was very awkward!

Well I felt the need to review this place after a recent visit. We walked in and in all fairness the place is well decorated. However there are an awful lot of tables crammed into a small area and this in turn makes the place noisy. Myself and my girlfriend both ordered a starter and a main after waiting for... More
