Amaretto Ristorante in Renfrewshire

Booked table for 8 Food was excellent and staff were amazing would highly recommend this restaurant. P.s prices were also very reasonable.

Always lovely food and good service. Nice flavours and freshly prepared. Menu is great. Expensive but worth it occasionally.

This being the second time of visiting Amerettos, last time in February’24, travelling over an hour to eat, and again they smashed it out of the park. Service Excellent, Food out of this world, with lots of flavour. Restaurant is spotless, real attention to detail. Well done to all members of Staff, keep up the high standards. See you again next time we’re in Scotland. 10/10.

Had a lovely times last night at this family friendly restaurant. We were a party of 10 and all agreed the food was delicious. The staff were exceptional and in particular our server Ashleigh who done a great job in looking after us all. Until the next time.

Food was amazing and Ashleigh our waitress was attentive and professional. We were there for a family birthday and it was really enjoyable. We will return and recommend this establishment

The food was of fantastic quality and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The music was great for a family gathering and the staff allowed us to stay a lot later than the online booking had originally stated. Haven’t been in a while, but will definitely be back soon.

I visited on a Friday to a fairly busy resteraunt, but despite this I received very attentive service and DELICIOUS food. We were looked after by a young blonde girl (I think her name was Eleanor if my memory serves me right) and she was a great help on our first visit. I had a carni calizone which was delightful. Will be back!

Would not recommend this restaurant. I was here in December and the food and service was great however it’s really gone downhill. Food was overpriced and portion size was small. My friend had lasagna and it was so dry. The pizza was also rather tasteless which we also mentioned . The manager was new to the job and didn’t seem interested with our feedback. We will all not be back and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Went to this restaurant for lunch with our grandson. Service was very efficient our waitress brought a children’s menu and colouring pencils for our grandson. He had garlic bread and an ice cream to follow. My wife and myself had lasagne it came piping hot and very tasty. I would recommend a visit.

It was my mums birthday and decided to book a table at this restaurant as we have never been before, staff were friendly, we were seated at 1:30 and ordered our food, I ordered the Arancini to start, I felt it was a bit dry and there wasn’t very much sauce with it. We all felt we waited ages for our main so I asked the waitress and she said she would chase this up, she brought all the food out 30 secs later, the food wasn’t very hot, I feel the food had maybe been sitting in the kitchen for a while and when I chased this up, it prompted the staff to check the progress of this and noticed it was ready. We were asked how our food was but due to it taking nearly an hour the first time, we just ate it, we weren’t impressed, don’t think we’ll be returning I did notice it was extremely busy and there didn’t look enough staff

Outstanding service. Quality fresh food. Authentic Italian. Great time with friends. Good food and fresh too! Staff very attentive and looking out for their customers.

Good food and friendly waiting staff. After lunch we ordered a drink whie waiting for our lift and were told very rudely we would have to vacate our table within 15 minutes. Would I go back :absolutely not. Recommend:not unless you want to eat and run.

fabulous, food was excellent the salmon risotto outstanding, service perfecto. Be twix and between lunch and dinner would love to have seen it busier. Let’s hope things pic up, road works not fair at this time of year for small businesses. 2nd time this week feel we need to support the local businesses. merry Christmas 🎅🎅🎅

My wife had Sea Bass with potatoes. She felt that it was not good value at £21 as it was just two small pieces and no greens which would have been extra. There were also some green herbs on top but these could only be described as "past their sell-by date" I had lasange which was very tasty but I was confused by the "chewy" texture of it. Then figured out that it was Mozzarella. Three days on and my stomach is not the same - who puts mozzarella on lasagne???

Lunch after walking, coming into Bridge of Weir after a 10k walk we looked around for where to have lunch and settled on Amaretto. Friendly staff greeted us by the door and got us a lovely table. There was a special brunch menu but we were in the market for something more, so pleased to find that the complete ala cart was available. Everyone's food looked nice and my Calzone Carne was definitely a great way to finish the walk.

Very nice food with fast service even when they were busy! No complaints!! All staff were very friendly too! Will definitely be back!

We were holidaying in the area and came to Amarettos for dinner on the Monday eve. We enjoyed it so much we came back again on Wed eve! Delicious food, friendly welcoming staff, great atmosphere. Thanks for 2 great evenings!

Very disappointing experience, I visited on Sunday 22/10/2023 with my wife - it was the first time I had been for a while and I was looking forward to it because my wife was raving about the risotto she had whilst there with friends, alas she was even more disappointed as this time round the risotto wasn't the same and she only eat one "spoonful". I started with the Mozzarella Fritti, which was fine and then went for the Penne Arrabbiata (with added Fillet Strips) but to be honest, whilst the sauce was okay the pasta and fillet strips were over cooked. My wife did complain about her risotto explaining how poor it was compared to that which was served on her last visit and this was deducted from the bill, but I had to ask our sever if any of the management team where interested in our experience before a manager came near us. All in a very poor experience in terms of food quality and service.

Beautifully decorated, excellent service and delicious food. Faultless! We drove past and noticed this place while in the area. Tired and hungry we popped in early and were surprised to find quite a few tables (mainly young families) already eating. The place is decorated beautifully-modern but with a coziness. The menu is great and caters well for children, too. We were all very happy with our dishes-two pastas and two kids’ fish and chips which were delicious! Chunky fish and light crispy batter. We enjoyed deserts too. One thing that stood out was the service-too often nowadays we find bad service when out for meals but it was so efficient and the staff very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed this place and would definitely return if in the area Would definitely recommend!

Delicious food and such lovely friendly staff. My mum doesn’t eat much and a half portion was offered straight away. Very tender pollo Milanese.

Staff and surroundings were excellent, haven’t been in for a few years but the service and ambience were perfect. The food quality and selection was great. My wife has a nut allergy which was dealt with extremely well. Will now make it a regular visit for the family.

Ten of us visited on Saturday evening the 8th of July. Firstly, we were seated in the middle of the restaurant in long bench like seats pushed together, which made it very difficult to get in or out if you required. We had a couple of faccachia to start, which were overdone hard and crispy. Main meals very average with pasta portions on the small side for the over inflated prices. My bolognaise was very dry with little sauce. The drinks here are also very expensive with a pint of lager costing £6.00 and a glass of wine at £9.00. Overall, I was disappointed in the food and the prices . Won't be hurrying back.

Firstly, pleased there was a dedicated car park, albeit a tad tricky to enter from our direction. Well maintained and atmospheric restaurant. Friendly & attentive staff. Unfortunately the food was under par. Overall it tasted like pub grub .. the portions were poor and the pasta was straight from a packet. Quite disappointing really and we left feeling quite underwhelmed .. we will not be back.

We have been going here for ten years and it’s still our favourite in the west of Scotland. Friendly staff and lovely taste.

Staff very nice and attentive. Food so mediocre..Very disappointing. Perhaps you should get a properly trained chef…. Fed up giving you chances to get it right,,, won’t be back.

Went to Amaretto for the first time in nearly 10 years tonight and it was okay. I used to be a manger of another local restaurant so hadn’t visited in quite a while. The service was great, the staff were friendly and efficient, there was...

Haven’t been here in ages so thought it was time to enjoy the food again. Lovely comfortable environment, warm friendly service and delicious food! What’s not to like!

I come here often and although the atmosphere can lack some warmth. It’s great food and service I will keep coming👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of the village! Food is always amazing & workers always happy to help! Love visiting

We’ve been to amaretto many times before, but this time the food was very disappointing, not to mention tasteless. Our waitress was not a very nice person, and everything seemed to be a massive problem for her. We won’t return, and I advise you not...

The starters were good, but the main courses were a bit small. The risotto was tasteless and the caesar salad was 90% lettuce. The sticky toffee pudding was just a lump of dry cake with a small bit of ice cream and the pannacotta had...

I was not sure how good Italian food we can get in and around Johnston (Scotland). We searched it online and walked to the Bridge of Weir village while searching an Italian food. I should say the walk was worth as the food came with...

Lovely setting for a family dinner of 10. Food was fantastic- really tasty! Portions were food. Service was excellent. Had a great time & a great meal. Highly recommend.

Food ok. Glasgow prices for a half serving of pasta from a la carte menu. Child’s pasta serving small. The chicken on the pizza was cold. Won’t be back. Far better Italians locally for much better value

My husband, daughter and I had lunch at amaretto today. We won’t be back. Apart from the three quarters of an hour wait, the food was just ok. My daughter ordered a combo which gave her minestrone soup and a bruschetta together (without a spoon)....

Second time in a month we have visited and again disappointed.Young staff seem to either pester or ignore you possibly down to poor leadership.Prices have increased to Glasgow prices whilst quality has decreased.With some effort hopefully this can return to its previous standards.Finally a concern...

THIS PLACE USEDTO BE GOOD had lunch with family. chicken was like rubber impossible to chew the place has gone down hill very badly we will definitely not be back here.

My Husband visited here for dinner tonight. Food was excellent. Staff were very good. Lovely ambience. Will be back soon.

Visited with my mother in law and husband. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere very welcoming. All the servers were so lovely and very helpful. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

We visited here recently for the second time. First visit was absolutely fine but not so recently. My husband ordered a chicken dish which was delicious. I ordered the raviolini. I was quite shocked when it was served as it looked like a starter portion....

Food would probably have been good had it not been cold on arrival. Delivery address was less than a mile from the restaurant. Can only assume that it was left sitting before delivery, or the driver left it to the end of his round. No...

My friend and I popped in for a coffee and cake here today. It wasn’t overly busy, and we had chosen to go here as we thought with it being an Italian restaurant, that the coffee would be of a slightly higher standard than Starbucks...

Lovely food and service. Definitely recommended. Thank you for helping us make our mums birthday so special! Can't wait to go back again in the new year.

The service and food wasn’t what it normally is tonight. Very slow, food lukewarm and without the extras. Won’t chance the Special Christmas Dinner again, I’ll stick to the Italian menu. No sprouts or stuffing, chipolatas had to be asked for several times. Sorry but...

Stopped off here by chance while cycling Sustrans Route 7 . Cafe / restaurant is only 50 yards from cycle path and I would consider it cycle friendly, based on first impressions. Had a coffee and a homemade cake, both were excellent for roundabout £5...

Been coming here for years and the quality of the food is exceptional. Took my family for my sisters graduation last night and it was even better than usual. Pasta was cooked perfectly, pizzas were fresh with a crispy base, all the ingredients tasted fresh....

Food is absolutely phenomenal. All 3 courses were absolutely brilliant for both myself and my partner, iv now been back 3 times in 4 weeks due to how good the food is and our date night being on a Friday. Highly recommended. 5 star service,...

Finally got the chance to use voucher we got for Christmas. Due to staff shortage they had closed the downstairs and were only opening upstairs, though top marks for calling and letting us know of this change. Tables wonky, bulbs flickering just made the initial...

Outstanding food. Sauces amazing. Service discrete, not rushed, but always there when needed. A safe, pleasant atmosphere in these strange times. Overall - we'd recommend to all our friends and family. Will definitely be back.

Had an excellent surprise evening out. Wonderful food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Lunch is also very good.

Food and service outstanding. Very attentive staff. Great atmosphere. Toilets very clean. Really nice outside eating area which is a total sun trap as we found out

Booked a table for dining out side. Arrived on time to be told we are not in the diary. Asked for proof of booking, showed the email. Waiters attitude was shocking. Didn't offer to allow us to sit at the bar, wait on a table...

Had an enjoyable meal with the family here. Nice place with good service and tasty food. Good choice of pizzas with some different options to the usual.

Good food let down by inaccurate menu, ordered Arancini to start came on a bed of rocket and thick garlic mayo. Not a fan of garlic mayo and it wasn't mentioned on the menu. Same with the main, ordered Calzone and asked this time if...

I've been coming to this establishment since it opened and despite regular visits over 15 years have still not had a shread of recognition for my continued patronage. Not so much as a 'oh hello again, nice to see you again'. I know that it...

Stopped by this outdoor restaurant area for a drink while out for a walk with our dog. The outdoor area had a selection of empty tables. We asked in the main reception if there was availability for a drink outside. We were directed to the...

My wife and I dined on the outdoor terrace at Amaretto last night, and while the food was perfectly pleasant we had to endure the boorish behaviour of a group of men at a nearby table, who had obviously had too much to drink, and who were loudly peppering their language with expletives.The young staff who came and went from the table were mostly female, and I do not really expect them to challenge a table of drunken middle-aged men about their behaviour, as they would obviously feel intimidated, but I would however expect them to relay their concerns to a member of management inside the restaurant and have them deal with the problem. It was very disappointing that various members of the waiting staff were aware of these individuals being loud and obnoxious, but chose to hide away from the problem and let other diners suffer instead. I commented on the behaviour to the waitress at the end of the meal and she said “I know, I’m sorry about that.” Well, if you know, you should have done something about it, it’s that simple.This was our first meal out since the start of lockdown, and it was also a birthday celebration. It was also the first time we had dined at Amaretto, and while first impressions suggested it would be a pleasant establishment to dine in, we were left feeling at the end of the meal that it is perhaps not quite as well run an establishment as it’s promotional material would have you believe. Not sure we’ll be back.

We have been to this restaurant a few times for special events and just a normal night out and have never been let down.Today a mistake was made, the restaurant was busy in fairness, but OMG the customer service that followed was completely awesome.We love this restaurant and cannot fault it - food is excellent, vibe is great and just what you need after pandemic lockdowns. Treat yourself to a night out - even with a mistake they made or night awesome and special. Will be back again and thank you for tonight. Above and beyond as always.

Lunch on Saturday with a lady friend. Carlo and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We shared 4 starters including the Seared Prawns and Focaccia Rosmarino which are always excellent. Very enjoyable afternoon and will be visiting again soon. Well done Carlo and staff 10/10

A 40 minute drive to "cash in on" an expired voucher (6 months) won in a raffle was rewarded by the highest standards of food, service, location and attention. Lunch menu and a la carte supplied a suitably wide range of dishes. Generous caprese and antipasti starters were delicious (although a greater variety of cheese might have been included).Lemon sole goujons and sirloin steak mains were finished off with Chocolate fudge cake, served warm with salted caramel sauce & vanilla ice cream.All in all an excellent location that resumed our "eating out" experience - a shame we do not live closer - it would become a regular for us.

I cannot review the meal since we never got as far as ordering.We booked a table well in advance and asked for an outdoor table. On the day the weather was absolutely awful, we didn’t want to cancel, so turned up at the allotted time, well wrapped upfor the weather. The gazebos were not nearly sufficient to cover the terrace and shield us from the rain, nor were the patio heaters on. Obviously they had no intention of serving outside. We politely asked if we could be seated indoors and were very rudely told that “No, it was not possible “ surely in the circumstances the restaurant should contact customers to inform them that their booking could not be honoured. I must add that this restaurant takes a £5 booking fee per person. Fortunately another local restaurant went out of their way to give us a table and the grandchildren, who had been looking forward to once again visiting a restaurant enjoyed a wonderful lunch . We shall certainly not be back at Amaretto despite living within walking distance of the village.

A huge selection in the menu and delivery was prompt and efficient. The food was great and excellent value.

Just had a lovely Valentine’s Dinner for two delivered together with drinks and a white rose. Our children prepared and served the meal so we feel like we’ve been out for dinner. Well done Amaretto & thank you 😊 😋

Carlo and his team are amazing and the food is excellent. It’s very family friendly and my girls love it.

Great to be back at Amaretto for a pre Christmas celebration during COVID. Lovely meal for the family (pizza and pasta), followed by a trip to see a really cheery Santa which made the 6 year old’s day

First time we went to this restaurant and definitely last one. Waiting time definitely to long over 1 hour, my child was going crazy, we was told child dinner is coming with our starter's, no chance she eat my starter, I got an email to leave table at 5.15pm but our main we got 5.20pm. Food was cold !!!! small portions. Nice was just staff.

Outstanding Italian food. During the COVID restrictions and lockdown, getting some superbly delicious food from Amaretto has been a highlight! Strongly recommend this place

Our booking was for outside on a saturday evening. Quite alarming that they expected everyone to dine in cold temperatures.You would have thought they would have installed some sort of heating appliances.It was not ideal, due to covid we had no alternative choice as everywhere near by was also fully booked.Definitely put a dampner on our anniversary night but we made best of a bad situation.All in we wont be back again.Staff did a good job considering the renovations. However it was clear that its desperate times to get as many bums on seats regardless.

Visited Amaretto with my other half for my birthday. Service, Food and atmosphere is all top class. Highly recommend.

First meal out with mum since lockdown and it was excellent. We’ve been here and really enjoyed the food before so knew it would be a safe bet. I had the Focaccia Roamarino to start which was delicious. A big portion so shared with mum who had the Funghi Ripieni. For the main, I had the Penne Cardinale - which was excellent. Loved the creamy tomato sauce. Mum had the Sogliola Fritta - which she loved too. We were too full for desert!The waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful. The tables, inside and out, were well spaced out and there was an abundance of signage around social distancing too. It was great to be back out, having a great meal and supporting a small business in really challenging and unprecedented circumstances.

Thank you Carlo and team. Although we enjoyed many delicious takeaways during lockdown, It was lovely to stop by and be back in Amaretto. The staff were friendly and relaxed given the new environment, and made us feel safe with the new precautions.It was very nice to be out and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. See you again of next week.

Our first family meal out since lock down. Food, service and atmosphere all great. They’ve made great use of the outdoor space and large gazebo’s mean, if our Scottish weather stays true to form, you won’t get wet. Bruschetta, Rigatoni and Tiramisu washed down with sparkling water ( yip, I was the driver ), were excellent. Tables booked in 2 hour increments, mean you have plenty time to enjoy the food....we’ll be back soon.Peter.

On our 4th week of home delivery deliciousness!Well organised and presented to cope with no-contact social distancing rules. The well packed Dine@home box had a comprehensive list of ingredients and cooking instructions. Looking forward to returning to the restaurant in due course but in the meantime this is the culinary highlight of our week.

Coming from Australia it was lovely to catch up with family at this charming restaurant. The food was excellent, portions were generous and service was friendly and welcoming.

We are so lucky to have Amaretto in Bridge of Weir. Their new Meal Box deal for 2 or 4 has been so well thought out. Give it a go..... you won’t be disappointed.

My family and I are regulars in Amaretto and we always enjoy it, but last night we had a takeaway from them and I cannot complement them enough. This is the 3rd takeaway we’ve had in the last 5 weeks(from different restaurants) and it is the only place we will go back to. There is Antibacterial gel at both doors, social distancing has been perfected and Carlo was his usual cheerful self, making the very short visit more relaxed in these not so relaxed and unusual times. The meal we had was delicious. We will definitely go back for more takeaways while we patiently wait for the restaurant to open.

During lockdown had amazing customer service from the staff, food was amazing as always and delivery driver was lovely! Thanks guys!

I had dinner here this week with two friends; we have all lived in Italy and were anxious to sample the Italian cuisine. We were not disappointed! The restaurant was warm and welcoming on a cold night; the décor tasteful and restrained; the service was friendly and discreet. We all had different dishes from the fairly extensive menu and none of us had a complaint. Food was well cooked and presentented. Complimenti!

Enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal with my husband. Seated immediately and drinks served shortly afterwards. We opted for the fixed menu and the food was both delicious and excellent value for money . Car parking facilities a little tricky to enter/exit however plenty of spaces available . Toilets small but clean. Good warm atmosphere and the excellent customer service added to the experience . Would recommend .

We had a fantastic day with the family for my daughter’s 21st birthday meal. It was a surprise and Carlos and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, there was 24 people in our party! The food, service and atmosphere was top class! I would and always do recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great choice for our first meal of the New Year! Being the 2nd of January, there was a limited menu, in that there were no seafood/fish dishes due to the fishermen also being on their holidays. We were alerted to this as soon as we sat down, so had plenty of notice. I loved the fact that the guys were not willing to compromise on quality by using inferior produce. We had no worries though as they had plenty of choice and it was all absolutely perfectly cooked and presented. We had our vegan family members with us this time and they were also catered for beautifully having a couple of delicious vegan pizzas and then some delicious sorbet to finish with. The sauce on the pizzas being declared the best sauce ever! It’s lovely to know that we have somewhere local who will cater for all of our family’s dietary requirements, and so well. The staff, as always, were very attentive and friendly. A fabulous start to 2020.

Love this restaurant. The staff are always so pleasant and welcoming. We had our 4 year old daughter with us tonight and the manager paid her lots of attention and made sure she was well looked after. The food was brilliant as always. Nice selection for kids and my daughter loves that her cutlery is metal and has little animals etched on the handles. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again

after being a other restaurant over the holidays my family & friends decided to try this lovely looking italian. However food service and attitude of manager was way below par and not a place i care to visit again. I hope the owners take note

Rude service from staff and the food was clearly microwaved within a inch of its life. This used to be a decent place but it is one of the poorest Italians in area , plenty of other Italians to choose from in Renfrew

Great meal with family and friends Christmas Eve very busy food delicious ate in upstairs bar which was very comfortable

Excellent Christmas Eve family meal!! Booked in advance and so glad we did, excellent food, staff and overall Christmas Eve experience! Never disappointed at Amaretto, thank you to everyone there!! We look forward to going back!!

we ae new this area and this restaurant although may look nice from the outide, the staff make you feel unwelcome and food is well below par. will not be returning

We enjoyed an excellent meal here last night. This has always been a good Italian restaurant with a wide choice of dishes to suit all tastes. Last night's meal was even better than usual with an extensive and imaginative Christmas menu as well as a la carte. My halibut was one of the best cooked pieces of fish I have had anywhere and the panna cotta dessert had a great wobble! Service was quick and pleasant despite a very busy restaurant. We shall return as it's by far the best of our local eateries.
