"Because my dad worked with a Sicilian (Angelo the Other Welder and our families got on so well, I’ve been eating authentic Italian food since I was ten. Pizza at the forefront, of course: all around Italy and Sicily, naturally; plus Greece, the US and elsewhere (Wolverhampton, mainly . So I think I’ve earned my place on the judging panel over 5 decades or so and with a lot of ppa (pizza per annum to, er, show for it. Now, in breaking news, I’ve finally discovered, against strong international competition, the best pizza yet. And I’m not exaggerating. And it’s in Cockermouth! Lasciatemi spiegare, as Wordsworth never said… A recent visit to our dearest friends in the Lakes coincided with Sarah’s birthday. Our hosts, Graham and Phil, let us know that we’d be going out for a special treat. This was the background against which the four of us arrived at Fermento, expectations already high from a browse on Fermento’s website before hitting the M6. I can’t tell you how far those expectations were exceeded! Impeccable hosting and chefing from Carla and Alessandro respectively, a delightful setting and, above all… the food! After a delicious, fresh antipasti sharing platter, we agreed that, given the choice on the menu, we’d all like to try a variety of Fermento’s versions of favourites based on Sarah’s (and my long commitment to Italian delights. The plan was to have four large pizzas, one at a time, between us and in a flavour sequence of Alessandro’s recommendation. I love it when a plan comes together. The bases were the first revelation. Supremely fresh, crispy, tasty, light and digestible – which is what you get when you combine a 48-hour prove of the dough with native expertise on the stretching and baking – each pizza’s particular topping basking on a consistently perfect crust. And what toppings! We had, in order, the CARCIOFFOLA (Mozzarella, Smoked Pancetta, Grilled Smoked Scamorza Cheese and, of course, the eponymous grilled Artichokes – a true Italian favourite ; the MEAT FEAST (Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Spianata Calabra (Spicy Salame , Smoked Pancetta and Italian Sausage – divine ; the PUTTANESCA (Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Olives, Capers, Oregano and the flavour orgasm of Anchovies ; and, to complete the symphony, the EMER (Mozzarella, Sundried Tomatoes, Smoked Pancetta, Parmesan Shavings – and a taste I last swooned over in Venice, Gorgonzola and Fresh Rocket! . Quite the banquet! And, because it was so well-paced (and accompanied by delicious wines , we even had room for the beautiful MASCARPONE MOUSSE to finish (choice of toppings – dark chocolate shavings, Fabbri sour cherries or Amaretti biscuits . It was a perfect Italian evening and well worth the trip to The Lakes! Carla told us that they came from Modena, famous for balsamic vinegar, opera heritage, Ferrari and Lamborghini, to set up in Cockermouth. We’re so glad they did! PS: Just note that Fermento offers the real deal when it comes to authenticity. They do lasagne the proper way, for instance: more pasta layers and less of the gunk that often passes for ragu over here. And please remember that the traditional Italian meal has a sequence designed for extended enjoyment and the inclusion of conversation, alcohol and yummy noises. Antipasti – the actual “starter” (a platter of fish and or hams, salami, olives, cheese, bread etc ; Primo – the proper “first course”, often pasta; Secondo – the course after that (duuh , often meat plus veg and or salad (Contorni Insalata ; and Dolce – sweet. A lovely element of the Fermento experience is that those “first and second” courses can be occupied by pizza: the perfect excuse for sharing a variety of toppings, as above and, if we’re lucky, soon to be repeated."

Absolutely the most authentic pizza restaurant in the whole area. Fabulous owners who are so friendly and welcoming. Always have a great relaxed night with fantastic food. Thank you

I’m a regular customer here and have never once been disappointed. It really is better than most pizza I’ve tried in Italy. The service is always outstanding and a credit to the owners. Anyone that’s actually eaten here would agree

Overall had a very nice meal, particularly enjoyed the starter platter of cold meats and cheeses. Pizza main was a little disappointing as we chose pizza with roasted vegetables and spicy sausage, but not enough of with either. Needs to be more loaded IMHO. Apart from that, nice friendly, informal atmosphere. Visualizza piatti

The pizzas at this restaurant are truly outstanding and are very authentically Italian. We tried the funghi and veggie pizzas, which were delicious, and a friend enjoyed the meat feast. The restaurant is small but popular, with a small kitchen, so it is recommended to make reservations in advance for dining in or for takeout orders. The service is friendly and efficient.

Service is off the charts could not do enough for you, being a small restaurant you are very well looked after. Drinks all very good. Pizzas I can only describe as very average, nice crispy base but toppings lacked any depth of flavour. Desserts, disappointing. There seemed to be a lot of repeat customers so perhaps an off night. Service and drink you won’t get better but I’ve had better food

We were greeted by the delicious aroma of pizza being baked as we entered. The Pizzas are excellent with an amazing crisp base (not soggy in the middle! the toppings were perfect we both agreed that they were the best pizzas we have eaten. The wine list is small but we chose an excellent primitive which went with our meal perfectly. I wished we live nearby we would become regulars without question. Visualizza piatti

Arrived at 5 to 6 on a Friday evening. We were tired, shattered and had had a difficult stressful day. We had been recommended this place and were told we could order online (difficult for us to do on our phones, and indeed tried but website not playing . Called in early in the hope of grabbing a pizza (just one between us.... Staff member was unsympathetic and said that all our slots are filled and we should have pre ordered (they were shut.... . Very disappointing, it was a pizza not cordon bleu. if they are so very busy, then maybe they should think about increasing their opening hours!

After reading reviews, we decided to book a table at this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the small size of the restaurant, with only a few tables available, and the option for take-away pizza as well. Despite its appearance resembling a cafe from the outside, the pizzas were delicious with generous toppings. The cozy atmosphere and excellent service added to our dining experience, and the homemade desserts were a highlight. It's the kind of place you wish was in your neighborhood, perfect for enjoying pizza and wine. We noticed it was always busy, so booking in advance is recommended. The only downside is the lack of fresh orange juice on the menu, but that's just a personal pre...
