We ate at Rumours twice during a week long holiday in Bowness on Windermere recently. Both times the food was delicious and the service prompt and friendly. There are other options on the menu from pasta and pizza but over both visits we sampled three different pasta dishes and one pizza. We thought the dishes were reasonably priced too. Sadly... More

We called in for lunch and hubby had pizza and I had pasta. The food was lovely and service very good, but I think it's expensive to pay over £10 for a pasta dish at lunch time. Would be really nice for a romantic evening out.

Wonderful food, ambiance and service - highly recommended to all looking for a lovely Italian meal. We visit Rumours every time we are in Bowness and have always had a wonderful meal and excellent service - try the Pescatora pizza - tuna and prawns - delicious

This is a very pleasant little Italian restaurant. My fiancé and I have been several times to Rumours over the last couple of years and each time have had a pleasant visit. The food is well cooked and arrives nice and warm on the plate, so I would definitely not agree with other reviews that say the food is pre-made... More

Really enjoyed our meal at rumours, was sceptical after reading reviews however I can confirm the pizzas were freshly made and not supermarket bought as mine was made with specific toppings, you could taste the freshness! Also had desert and the lemon sorbet was lovely and well presented! Good value for money would recommend!

We had been here before on a previous visit to the lakes and enjoyed it immensely but were a little worried by some negative comments we had read, but decided to go anyway. So glad we did, The food we had was gorgeous , particularly the chicken dish from the specials board. The sorbet I had for dessert was divine... More

Rumours was recommended to me by a friend. Service was a little slow, took a while to get us drinks and take our food order even though it was a quiet Monday night. We both had the pate for starters which was delicious, followed by pizza. Both pizzas were great, freshly cooked (as opposed to some comments on here) and... More

My Partner and I decided to visit Rumours, while we were visiting Windermere which we now regret. The service was very good, and all the staff were friendly. The menu itself was quite expensive for both Pizza and Pasta. We both decided to go for the Pizza, and as soon as it arrived we could tell the pizza wasn't fresh.... More
