Cafe Corvina in Falkirk

This was my family's first time in Cafe Cornvina and it was amazing, beautiful on the inside, attentive, tradition waiters with speedy service but not so quick that you felt rushed. It is the type of place that suits all the family, but gives very romantic date night vibes too! We will definetly be back.

Lovely lunch. Great food and such friendly service.

Tasty food, fast service, cozy athmosphere. It was pretty busy, so the first time I requested cheese and spicy oil I was forgotton. However the second waiter quickly delivered. They had a few birthdays on the evening we visited and a lively vibe hung in the restaurant. Lovely!

Authentic Italian taste. Strongly recommend it 👌🏻

Very nice place, perfect food, nice service, thank you very much 👍🏻

£70 for 4 pizzas and teas. Pizza was basically just tomato sauce with no cheese. Scabby food. Won’t ever be back here - save your money for better food! Was also overcharged on the bill

The food is so so good. Love the place.

Had my daughters Baby Lunch there yesterday and I can't praise Cafe Corvina enough. There's was 23 of us and the waiters made it smooth and relaxing. The food delicious and served quickly. I didn't get the name of our main waiter but he was fabulous so well done Cafe Corvina ♥️

Cafe Corvina is our favourite restaurant and have been going here for years. Food is great and the staff are so lovely. Have never had to complain about anything. So when thinking about where to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary where else would we go. There was 24 of us. Everything was perfect. The service, the food, perfect. Everyone had a lovely time and told us on how much they enjoyed their meal. Menu had a great selection.

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. Staff are the best in business

This is without doubt a very well run business. I have been going there for four years with local residents and the food has been generally very good accompanied by friendly, professional management and staff. But, the menu never varies so is beginning to feel very tired. Some weekly specials would fix this.

Absolutely lovely dinner, cant fault them on anything. Presentation for the antipasto was really quirky, it was a meal on its own and my favourite Saltimbocca alla Romana was delicious, no room for dessert i was stuffed. Thanks guys was amazing.

Update May 2024: Returned for lunch. Again food and service amazing. Went for late lunch. Food was amazing. I had veal with mushroom and tarragon sauce. Will definitely return.

The cuisine is excellent. The service is also great. The waiter even speaks German, Greek, Italian, English and other languages. The starter was also great. The pizzas are excellent. The espresso tasted good too.

First time in Falkirk visiting with friends form Denmark. Was a perfect meal and the service was amazing. Lovely people. Will be back.

Brilliant attentive service and great food.

Great italian food and even better italian staff. I will be back for sure. Thank you

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The food is fantastic and the staff are brilliant, always so helpful and friendly. It is also great value for money. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in the area by far.

Pleasant staff, store clean and tidy

Very nice place to hang out with friends 🧡, the food was lovely. Wonderful and friendly staff.

Came here with my girlfriend to have a nice dinner, she was very happy with her carbonara and i must agree that it was splendid, however, i ordered an americana pizza and am very sorry to say that the sauce (purely barbecue) was overly sweet, and became overpowering. What’s more is that the chicken gave me food poisoning, i do not regret the meal there as the ambience and staff were all very friendly, but the busy kitchen must have made a small mistake

Lunch was delicious, and the service was excellent, will definitely be back xx

Food is of great quality and the staff are on point with everything.

Nice place for food and catch up with friends

Wonderful! Girls serving so helpful and friendly. Allows dogs. Absolutely delicious breakfast! Freshly cooked, not at all greasy. Just tasted so well cooked and excellent quality!!

Excellent food and service, would definitely go back

The food was amazing. Service was fab. The only thing I would say is the portion size isn't fantastic considering the price of some of the dishes. But that's just me picky. I absolutely love this restaurant. One of the best in Falkirk.

A truly brilliant place, with delicious food and friendly staff. Very kids welcoming too

Don't often write reviews but our experience yesterday definitely merited one. We enjoyed a lovely family lunch with great food and a really friendly waiter. Our booking was for 1.30pm and we left at 3.30pm. We were the only customers left but until we saw the hours on the door as we closed it behind us none of us had realised it was supposed to close for the afternoon at 2.30pm! No one harassed us, hurried us or even mentioned that they were due to close up. Hats off to the staff for their excellent customer service and for putting up with us wasting an hour of their free time without even a sigh or an eye roll. Next time we'll check the opening hours before booking!!

I really wouldn’t have expected to have found such a wonderful authentic Italian restaurant in Falkirk, but we did. Amazing food, generous portions and fairly priced. Service was great too with busy, friendly waiting staff.

We were on a family lunch - good variety on menu. You get what you would expect - food was warm and typically generous portions. Good place to get together and the Staff are excellent

Much anticipated return visit. Staff very helpful and good banter. Food was as delicious as I remembered. That salmon & prawn pasta mmm. My friends pizza looked amazing, not a crumb left. Delicious glass of house red to go with my pasta dish. This place is definetly worth the drive from Glasgow.

I called to order takeout last night, just a pizza which came to 10.50. After ordering I was told cash only which I advised I am 2 minutes away from restaurant and only have card. I have ordered the same a few times with no problem by card so thought this would be fine again. I was then told the machine was broken so had to he cash, found that strange as my family were in the restaurant at the time and paid by card so I questioned asking is it because my order is to low? To which he replied yes partly because of that. No mention on website of a minimum spend. I said I will have to leave it as I only have card and I was rudely told “just use just eat in future” in reference something I can afford, as a customer for a number of years I will not be back.

Food was absolutely delicious, served quickly and the staff were very friendly, really knowledgable about the dishes (I’m veggie) and helpful. Lots of vegetarian options. Had a really lovely evening and will definitely be back. Tiramisu was amazing.

Fabulous restaurant, great for a meeting point fir friends between Edinburgh and Glasgow, excellent food and service.

I can only give my review for the service because I never had the opportunity to try the food, they totally ignore us even though I've asked twice for my order, so after 25 minutes waiting for 2 cappuccinos, we left. Disgraceful, I won't be back.

Booked for Mother's Day for 7 of us and the waiting staff could not have been more attentive. High quality ingredients were evident in the taste of all our dishes, as was the skill to make them. We all had something different and to hit the mark in each individual case is nothing short of remarkable for it's novelty when compared to our recent experiences in various chain restaurants. A fantastic evening was had by all and we expressed our appreciation to the staff upon leaving. We will return, perhaps for a family gathering when the weather improves.

Popped in for lunch was really nice and staff friendly .

We enjoyed a beautiful lunch today for my daughter-in-laws Baby Shower,the staff were lovely friendly and attentive and the food was so so tasty best carbonara I've tasted.

Over 10 years since I was there last still excellent food and exceptional service.

First time I’ve been for a while, food and service was tremendous, all the staff make you feel so welcome. Lobster Ravioli was excellent as was everything else that was ordered. Won’t wait so long to go back.

Amazing place, probably best Italian I have been too and I love Italian so I go to a lot. Staff was so friendly and service was fantastic

Overpriced, poor quality, and average service at best.

Had dinner yesterday big thank you to Gianni and staff for a wonderful meal as usual. All the staff are brilliant and so friendly the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and amazing food I am so lucky to have such a fab place locally and would certainly recommend a visit. .

A perfect restaurant to have lunch or dinner. Excellent service and Atmosphere.

Lovely food, professional and friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back again. The waffle dessert was amazing!

Brilliant food and the best service

Amazing delicious food. Great service and friendly atmosphere.

4 of us there for my sons birthday, we got a booking no problem at lunchtime. But it did get busy.. They were Pleasant, we received our drinks quick and ordered a main meal only which arrived without waiting to long. Everyone enjoyed their meal but for the price we expected more, we felt it was expensive. We asked for our bill and paid. After leaving and at home we checked our bill of £93.50. We found written at the bottom of the bill an optional service charge of £8.50. it wasn't Optional because we weren't asked. Surely Optional means we get an option (asked)

Staff very welcoming great atmosphere food fantastic

Great food and customer service

We had the most amazing night celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with family and friends. Food was delicious & service was outstanding as always. Such a great night making more precious memories Thank you 😊

We booked this restaurant for a large group following a run. We all turned up in running kit after completing a fairly long slog but received a really warm and friendly welcome. The service was absolutely spot on and the really delicious food was served quickly. All in all a wonderful experience in Falkirk, thank you

Amazing food .. incredible 🍨🍦 ice-cream

Wonderful food with excellent service. Had a delicious dinner with my children after getting a short notice booking on a Friday evening. Very friendly service and a perfect venue for families.

A good venue with quite a bit of space. Food was good as was the service. The bruschetta with fresh tomato was delicious. Mushroom and other starters were good. Mains, we had the arrabiatta with chicken which was good. Others had steak, prawns and various other meals which were all enjoyed. Desserts were the sticky toffee pudding and the sharing platter looked spectacular. The issue here is the 10% service charge added to a bill of over £200 for 6 people. Dinner beware. This is optional supposedly but unless you pay attention and decline you will be stung.

The food and the service were brilliant, and the atmosphere was alright.

Great place for an Italian meal. Fast, efficient and friendly service.

Fillet steak was fantastic. Service is second to none. So friendly.

Superb Italian restaurant. Service is attentive and meals are served quickly. Food is high quality and authentically Italian. Nice wine menu too. Recommended.

Excellent menu as we were torn between pasta and pizza. The sharer option was perfect and a really good portion too. The pizza base was light and typically 'italoan', along with the toppings. The carbonara was mouthwatering and even better with the parmesan and touch of black pepper 🤤 very very good! All accompanied by a glass of Montepulliano and of course served by a great team of very tentative staff! Thanks guys!

Four of us viewed for a family meal. Good service and food in this modern restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The toilets were impeccably clean. Prices were competitive. One disappointment was when we received the bill. The waiter came to the table with bill and card machine and asked me which amount I would like to pay. I was a bit confused initially because the actual cost of the meal and drinks was recorded as the sub-total. Below that was another amount of 10% ‘optional service charge’ all of which was printed in larger and bold print. The bottom line was in even larger and bolder print stating the ‘Total’ amount which included the service charge. Please just give the cost of the food and drinks allowing customers to decide how much of a gratuity to give, if any. Also it would be preferable to present the bill for examination then returning later to take payment.

Excellent Food,service and authentic Italian cuisine highly recommended

Hi I was just checking up to see how that stupid Linda worker is doing after stepping on my new 95s and spilling coffee down my pants I hope she’s been fired absolutely terrible service

Excelente restaurante, pizzas buenísimas, pasta exquisita, muy buen servicio y local muy agradable. Los platos y las pizzas son muy generosos.

Absolute beautiful, rustic, and yet modern Italian cuisine in the heart of Falkirk. I find it Something of a hidden gem amidst all the fast food options. Wonderful attentive staff who want to make your experience both enjoyable and memorable. Perfect ambience-warm lighting that is neither harsh nor overwhelming. Amazing food of course: No cutting corners here. All ingredients are fresh and it shows. There is Such a lovely atmosphere at all times and very chilled music of a gentle, familiar feeling. Nobody Is having a bad time and there is always a gentle bustle about the place. I always enjoy my food from here irrespective of how I get it - I knew sitting in would be lovely , just didn’t know it would be so heart warming an evening for myself. I didn’t want to leave. I can imagine it would be beautiful to go with friends, family: I know my partner would love this place and I will bring him one day. I come once a year whilst on modelling business but plan to be visiting as often I can. Thanks “Jasmina”

Surprisingly good Italian restaurant. The food was better then expected. Loved it. The sea foos platter was great. Recommend it.

Had a celebration for our daughter's 18th birthday and a fantastic time was had by all. We had a large family group attending and had booked out the large function area, at the back of the restaurant, which was lovely and due to the size of our group, we had it all to ourselves, which was brilliant for privacy and space. Food and service were both outstanding and cannot be faulted in any way. Everyone had a great time and my daughter had a really special birthday celebration. So, thanks to everyone in Cafe Corvina for making it an amazing night and would definitely recommend here for anyone looking for a lovely venue, great food and brilliant service, as you will not be disappointed. We will be back very soon.

Great food and attentive service.

This is a really nice Italian, with excellent décor and service. The food was amazing. We had pizza and a pasta dish and was among some of the best we have had. Servers were attentive without being intrusive.

I genuinely cannot complain about a single moment of my experience at this restaurant. Fast and attentive service, friendly and helpful waiters. Food was devine, worth every single penny spent on it, the quality was evident with every single bite. Due to current dietary requirements, I had to request an ingredient be changed in my chosen meal, and there was no fuss about it. Just a simple and easy, almost as if I'd have just asked for it as it comes on the menu. Tasted absolutely perfect. The other members of my party were also incredibly impressed by the quality of their food. If you have the spare cash to spend, I fully recommend Cafe Corvina to those in the Falkirk area.

Locale semplice (non a livello di un ristorante) e rispetto a questo prezzo un po' caro. Però il cibo era buonissimo (pollo scozzese e una fantastica cheesecake) e il personale veramente accogliente. Eccezionale anche la focaccia.

Very good food and friendly service

Great food, service and atmosphere. Always a pleasure

Excellent meal and fantastic service. Would happily go again.

Excellent meal with good friends. Service brilliant and food to die for

Food was nice. Very over priced though for what you get and no presentation at all. Literally a bit of steak and handful of chips on the plate. Not even a bit of bread or anything with the soup in a stupid bowl. Service was fine but adding on a service charge of £16 is shocking meal was £171 for 2 of us. Always leave a tip but adding on 10% to the bill without even asking is just rude. Won't be back

Food is absolutely beautiful. Staff lovely. Great night out. Everything I had was fantastic but LOVED the cheesecake!

Food was great, very nice to have a place like this in falkirk however. When me and my boyfriend visited we were sat at the table next to the mirror, this was an issue due to the amount of fruit flys allover the mirror. this was further made an issue because we had wine this resulted in us needing to ask to change table.

Been dinning on this place since 2017 and love it food ulis great and service is very friendly

Food and service excellent but come on guys £9,00 for a glass of wine

I can’t remember if I’ve ever had a steak here before but I know I’ll be getting another one in the future. A medium fillet cooked to perfection required no sauce and simply served with hand cut chips, washed down with a couple of pints of Menabrea, delicious. We shared rosemary focaccia as a starter and my daughter had the chicken and peppers which she thoroughly enjoyed. Another great meal which is why we keep going back.

Delicious. Thats what we think of the food. So good. And our server was really good! His recommendations were good. We tried the procuito melone, bruschetta, porcini mushroom, arancini was bomb. The medalion risotto is a must! All in all what we had pictured were good!

Taken for a business lunch, restaurant looks like a place that serves high quality authentic fayre. What arrived on the plate can only be described as a dog’s dinner. How the managers and servers can continue to put food like that down in front of paying customers is second only to the disbelief that the cooks (definitely not chefs in here) can sleep at night with the level of disregard they have for their job. Something tells me that the Food Standards Agency would have a field day here.

Food was fantastic, service was mediocre, I'd say you needed extra staff to give the more personal touch, we were left standing at the door on arrival without being greeted, staff were very efficient and pleasant, but were too busy to give you the attention. My 1 thing that I abhor is a service charge added to the bill, and for that reason I shall not return, yes I know you can not not to pay this, but the bill was promptly taken away, as if to disguise this, maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it felt. It is quite expensive and we expected better service to reflect this. If you remove service charge and give a more personal experience then I would gladly return and recommend this place.

It was just an average Italian food. I've tried seafood risotto, and my partner had a veal, which was just a little portion on a plate. Service was just fine...

Un vrai restaurant italien en Ecosse : personnel et plat italiens ! A noter pour les français que les apéritifs et vins sont chers. Mais la cuisine authentiquement italienne est excellente.

Beautiful meal and great food. Staff are amazing.

Went for dinner today. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Excellent staff, polite and very professional. Food was absolutely gorgeous and freshly cooked. Really recommend this restaurant.

Really nice place, with great food. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Have been here a few times now and never felt let down

The food here is outstanding and the table service is excellent. Only complaint I have is that whenever I go there on my own I'm greeted as if a solo diner is a major burden for them. Once seated, though, I always have a top notch experience. Oh also at busy times it can get very loud.

Took my father for the first time for an early Father's Day gift and he loved his steak! The service and food were particularly good and can recommend this fabulous restaurant. It's a big place, it has 2 bars as I recall and has a small outdoor part too for good weather eating and drinking.

This restaurant accommodated 10 of us with very short notice and the food was excellent. Staff were wonderful.

My first and last time there. Ordered salmon&prawn pasta and got ham pasta with undercooked prawns. And pizza looked like the dough was baked and they put raw veggies on top. Said it would be with cheese but it wasn't. I did not like it. Very basics and overpriced.

Food was absolutely tasty. Friendly staff. My first time there.

This used to be one of our favourite places but the quality of food is not what it used to be whilst the portion sizes have also been reduced. Then there is the prices. I know that costs have gone up but it is so disappointing that the quality has gone down. It is clear that there has been a change in Chef and it shows. The chips are not the same either and that is basic stuff.

Was given a gift voucher for here last year which we thought we better use up, on checking it stated only 6 months validity. I thought it was likely over 6 months however the date had been left blank. I rung up to find out the date and ask if any way we could extend. I presume the owner or manager answered the call, he was rather arrogant and abrupt. Checked the date and it was over a year, so that was that he said, hard luck basically. I told him I feel it is really not right for places to take money from people for vouchers then not fulfil the purchase. Perhaps years later but just over a year later is ridiculous. Ireland actually has a law which prevents gift vouchers from expiring for 5 years. He made no apologies however, then hung up on me. Perhaps if the gentleman had been in any way apologetic or remotely sympathetic, I would not have been so offended. He could have even said, ok you can use half or something, any kind of good will gesture would have been appreciated. Especially in light of the fact I could have filled in any date I liked and simply gone ahead and used it. However honesty doesn’t get you very far with the dishonest. I actually have eaten there before a handful of times and for the purposes of giving a proper review I would add the place is ok, just the usual average Italian, nothing exciting or memorable. Perhaps this is why we didn’t rush to use the voucher. I definitely would not recommend buying a gift voucher - treat the recipient to somewhere a bit more classy instead.

Great pizza and quick takeaway times

To be honest they are a bit expensive

Food was delicious. Service fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
