Betulla's - South Lakeland

1 hour 20 minute wait for pizza! Good job it was great food! Restaurant was a mess as no staff to clean tables!

On reading the reviews I decided it was best to book a table and this proved to be advisable as it was very busy. On entering it was very hot and busy. I had asked for a quiet table and this was provided, however it was Table 11 which meant waitresses going behind you to get crockery etc and diners using the facilities. The chairs were a bit low for me and seemed to skid quite easily, however they were comfortable enough. The service and food was excellent. We were looked after by a couple of waiting staff, all very polite and helpful. The drinks order was taken first, hubby had a non-alcholic beer, our friend had an Appletizer and I asked for a GLASS of dry white wine, unfortunately however as it was so noisy that waitress must have misheard and a bottle with three glasses arrived. However when we pointed this out, no problem, the waiter was very apologetic and just took them away and came back with the correct order. We were there for a celebratory meal. We decided to have starters and opted for the sharing platter of what was really a sort of charcuterie platter. All very nice, but quite large for a starter. For our main courses my husband had the Homemade Lasagne and I opted for the Milano Betulla's (a chicken, mushroom, onion and pasta dish). Both were delicious. I don't usually opt for anything with onion in it, but this was good, just enough onion to give it crunch and flavour but not too much. My only comment is that the portions were HUGE. Personally I would have preferred to have had half the portion with a small salad to accompany them. I had to leave half of mine. Our friend opted for one of their pizzas. This was a good size and he said it was one of the best pizzas he had ever had. Hubby and friend decided to go for a dessert, of the cheesecake of the day. They said it was nice but way to chocolatey for them. I was too full but needed something to cool me so had a dish that had ice cream where you poured espresso coffee over it and that did help with the digestion. All in all a very pleasant experience and I would recommend, but would advise booking, especially during the holiday seasons.

Nice little quaint Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of Ulverston. Food was delicious with generous portions. Friendly and accommodating staff. Definitely recommend. Book early as does get really busy due to being popular.

We had a lovely meal at Betulla’s last night. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of vegan options! There were a couple of vegan pasta dishes, and the cheese could be swapped out for vegan cheese on the pizzas. The food and drinks were lovely, as were the staff and the atmosphere.

We have visited Betulla's quite a few times now and it never disappoints. There is a good choice of food and drinks, the staff are always very attentive despite how busy it gets and the food is excellent in taste and quality. There's a reason it's always fully booked on a weekend. Highly recommend the Pasta Della casa and homemade tiramisu!
