Cafe Eataliano in South Lanarkshire

Service was excellent very attentive Reported toilet due to flooding and sink blocked to one of the older servers but nothing was done about this complaint prior to our party leaving. Not authentic Italian Minestrone soup just chunks of carrots . Main course came out from kitchen Luke warm There was an incident with the manager who thought it was okay to swear in front of my daughter thankfully another lady server was there to deal with it along with one of the diners. The young servers who had only there for a couple of weeks made our visit very enjoyable ☺️

Our favourite Italian great food,very friendly service

Eataliano has the most welcoming and friendly environment with super delicious food and drinks. Have been a few times now and I always want to go back!

Went and got xmas eve lunch food was lovley .staff were great and we were servered our meal very quickly no problems at all and resturaunt was very busy .my grandson loves this place .

Great service and help when changing booking. Good food and wine as well

Nice italian restaurant with really good food and attentive service. Was definitiv worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch on the way to the fitba. Very decent lunch, staff friendly and efficient. No complaints at all.

Best restaurant in Hamilton and local area , food great, service outstanding , value for money super. What can I say , puts the rest to shame. Better than a lot of restaurants visited in Italy. If you expect a quiet and reserved restaurant this is not the place. It’s busy, loud, full of atmosphere with lovely food and a great atmosphere.

Delicious food, Claudia is a very nice woman, helped my friend calm down and is very much helpful.the food was excellent and taste so amazing staff so kind bathrooms clean.

Really good food and really good service! Klaudia was fantastic! One of our cards would not go through and she was so kind and helpful about it.

Pasta was delicious, excellent service, highly recommended.

Came to Hamilton to visit my daughter and my daughter taken us to your restaurant wow was treated with friends smiley faces so so nice so polite to profession aweosne food excellent service thank you so much eat Italiano look forward to my next visit 👍

Have never had anything less than a perfect meal experience here. No faults whatsoever. Huge congratulations to the Eataliano team!!! P.s The smoked haddock and black pudding risotto is sublime. Enjoy....

Excellent food and the service was impeccable. Definitely be back

Went for a further treat on 19/9 having previously gone on 1/9. This has become our fav restaurant. The lighting outside on large tree is fantastic. Very welcoming. Decor very fresh. Seating is comfy….our preference being the booths at window! The meal was absolutely lovely. We both had the breaded mushrooms with cheese to start. My partner had the breaded fish for main and I had Pizza Pavarotti. Best pizza I have had in a long, long, long time! Ingredients fresh and inviting. The staff are second to none. Very very pleasant and cannot do enough. We are hoping to attend maybe once a fortnight or once a month depending on funds! What a treat. You should all be proud of what you are doing at Cafe Eataliano. Well done 👏

Outstanding establishment. Food was top class and the service was delightful!

Been here on numerous occasions and never had a bad experience yet. The food and service is fantastic. Can't recommend the place enough. Looking forward to my next visit.

[REVIEW FOR TAKEAWAY] I’m sure it’s great to eat in the restaurant, there. But I ordered a takeaway and it was honestly terrible. Given the price and the reviews I was expecting a great meal - takeaway or not - but it wasn’t. The antipasti for one person was like 5 pieces of salami and some olives thrown in with a little bit of rocket. For the prices, I was expecting something that I wouldn’t find readymade in Tesco. My wife ordered a burger (I know… who orders a burger from an Italian restaurant) and it was hands down the worst burger we’ve ever eaten. The meat reminded me of my dad’s belt both in taste and texture and the chips felt like they were cooked, left aside cold and someone sprinkled some cooking oil on it and called it a day. The pasta was ok and the portion for it was great. I’m sorry to say that it tasted like a fish and chips shop next to a nightclub at 4am rather than an Italian restaurant. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant looked great and I’m sure the food is completely different when you eat inside but stay away from the takeaway. Non impressionato.

Not been here for a while but will not leave it so long the next time

We passed on the way for fuel. It caught my eye, and I'm so glad we called in for something to eat. The Gamberoni was so filling, the prawns were huge. The Carbonara was delicious. Service was so good and knowledgeable, and the recommendations were spot on. As I said, I'm so glad we called in.

Went for lunch &paid supplement for pasta with breaded chicken,the chicken was so thin I thought they had served tiny breaded fish & biggest disappointed was I never got much pasta,,left still feeling hungry ,will never be back ,avoid,,

Amazing food service and restaurant, great advice on wine choice

Great food and really good service. Lovely night out with family for a special birthday

5 time we've used it for a family meal, they always manage to fit all 22 of us in!

Visited a few times now, excellent set menu which offers great value for money (2 course and 3 course options). Staff are really friendly, would recommend if going out in a group for a lunch or dinner. Not the most romantic of places if just for a couple. Lasagne is great, and so is the selection of cheesecakes! We will continue to return.

Lovely food and great staff- visited again today and good was beautiful and piping hot - def worth a visit

Food and staff excellent ,place its self is spotless ,very reasonably priced for you get quality wise ,what more do you need

Food is absolutely fantastic I’ve never had anything that wasn’t excellent and the lunch menu is unbelievable value for money. I’ve had 6 or 7 family meals and not had a single complaint staff are lovely I’d definitely recommend it

Great staff who are very attentive and fantastic food!

Myself and my girlfriend both got a pint of coke which cost £3.85 each. We decide to share the Mozzarella in Carrozza starter (£7.95) and I asked for an extra sauce to come with this. We were disappointed that the accompanying sauce was served cold and that there was no drizzle of dressing on the salad. I got Linguine Arrabiata (£11.95) and my girlfriend got Spaghetti Bolognese (£11.95). We also shared a portion of hand cut chips which were £3.95. Overall, the meal was alright but I wouldn’t be in any rush to return.

First time here. Had Sunday lunch, food very nice. Would visit again if in the area.

Service was very standard food is fabulous but do not give out details of their food calories especially with regards to carbs for diabetics so had to guess the food calories for my son and when I asked the staff about the calories or carbs they said they don’t know any details with regards to this not the best service

My fiancé and I are regulars here. Its consistently good

Food amazing Staff amazing Restaurant amazing Will be back

It's OK. Decent enough but forgettable in many way. Over priced imho

Been here numerous times with my family over the years and always a pleasant experience. Great food, nice atmosphere and staff have always been extremely friendly and can't do enough for you.

Third time visit for lunch. Food is excellent and staff are so friendly and helpful. Fairly busy yesterday around 1pm but service was very prompt and time for food was perfectly acceptable. Staff are attentive but not constantly asking how things are and if we needed anything else. A pleasant experience.

An exceptional restaurant where the food is very good, fresh and served in a very professional way. I recommend it with the greatest pleasure.

Best meal we have tasted in a long time, will be back.

This was our first time eating in this place and the food and service were superb ,cannot fault 👌 we will defo dine again soon first class

Fantastic food, amazing coffee 😍☕ & great service from Roberto! Would recommend 5*

Can’t recommend enough! Best restaurant in South Lanarkshire!

Unbelievable meal and service as always!

Dinner was excellent. Dessert was exceptional, the Chocolate Fudge Cake is to die for!!

Manio is a wonderful host and the food is to die for .. You must go and experience excellent food and wonderful atmosphere

Delicious pasta and minestrone soup!

***SICKNESS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER EATING*** My wife and mother in law attended the restaurant for risotto to celebrate her birthday. Within 20 mins of leaving the restaurant they were both running to the toilet. I returned home tonight to find both either being sick or running to the toilet 4 hours later. Owner states it was 'cheeky' to ask for a partial or full refund. Was advised that all food was fresh and stored correctly. Of course it was, judging by the reviews this does not seem to be a first. Am sorry, all it takes is a mishandling or incorrectly stored ingredient to cause such a reaction. Owner was stern, unapologetic and down right rude. Wanted to constantly talk over the top. No apology, nothing. I would avoid this place, not a great experience. ***RESPONSE TO BELOW*** I asked politely to resolve the situation by getting a refund/ partial refund for the meal before I leave a review (a review was obviously going to be left either way). It was MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY for crying out loud. Let me ask this, if a customer was in the restaurant and were not happy with the food at the time, a replacement or no charge would be offered. Greatly compensated?? Those words never came out of my mouth. Why is it that a meal was ingested, causes harm, all of a sudden is down right rude to ask for money back? As in the cost of the meal, I mean after all whatever was in it made them both throw up. How dare I ask for the money back 😂 It was only a request to rectify the situation as nobody wants to be ill after a meal. Your response below does not look professional from a business owner. Nobody was attempting bully or blackmail, I was however upset that my family members were ill from the meal they had from your restaurant. At no point did you apologise, you consistently repeated the ingredients were fresh, again I am not disputing they were not. I am disputing your claim that it was not that meal. The matter has been dealt with. My wife and mother in law woke up yesterday feeling better thankfully as it does seem as serious as first thought. How dare you suggest that I am more concerned with "compensation" than my family. This is quite a clear statement about how you value money coming into your restaurant, rather then own up to a possible miss-hap in the kitchen or whatever the reason maybe. Again, an apology (at least), partial refund or a full refund would have been the right thing to do as an apology. Any business with a decent approach to customer service would have offered. You didn't. As for claims of bullying is laughable, there is a difference between bullying and being angry that your family members are throwing up ON THEIR BIRTHDAY!!!! YOU could have tried to correct the experience. You did not. You kept the till drawer shut. Not an impressive response by yourself, my review was fair and to the point. You may think the same about yours but future customers will decide. It's ok, karma is not a b**ch, karma is a mirror. Have a great day 😊

Went here with my 2 year old son for lunch, first thing I noticed was it was £11.95 for a kids meal!!! £11.95!!! Granted it’s 3 courses but my son is 2, he hardly finishes a kids main let alone 3 courses. It would have been better if we were able to pick how many courses he wanted and the price reduced to reflect this, especially when you have to pay extra for a fruit shoot as this drink isn’t included in the kids meal, found the whole thing very bizarre and a bad start to our day. His pizza came out and it was swimming with tomato sauce. He ate a couple slice but understandably wasn’t overly keen on eating anymore, I had the pollo Pepe which was average, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but that being said I probably wouldn’t recommend anyone to try here if I was asked. On a positive note the interior is lovely & clean, very bright and airy with lovely attentive staff who can’t do enough for you, if it wasn’t for the staff I would have knocked a mark or two off the score. It was busy enough for lunchtime with a good buzz about the place.

Visited a couple of times recently. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food excellent and reasonably priced.

Food absolutely delicious, nice place, service was great. Cocktails was very tasty.

Just had lunch her with my sister first time here and I have to say that it was amazing the food was just perfect the service was excellent and the staff are all just lovely definitely be back again x

Staff were great! Very child friendly , the place was really clean ! And most importantly the food was brilliant

Excellent place, great food, good service and a good atmosphere.

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere

Always delicious food and excellent service. New decor adding to the brilliant overall experience. Thanks

Lovely food. Great atmosphere, but a bit noisy. It's a bit expensive but nice

Had Aglio Olio, soup of the day, beer, pizza and kids meal. Food was very tasty, excellent polite service, very good ambiance

Food was okay. Family of four ate here, pizza and pasta dishes ordered. Pizza was just ok. Was of a consistency that the toppings seemed moist and slid off the base. My daughter didn't finish her first slice of pizza and she is not normally a fussy eater. Mozzarella sticks starter were lacking in flavour and were far too chunky to be enjoyable. Others ordered pasta dish which was also found to be a little underwhelming. The service was good and the staff were all very pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately we felt that we wouldn't be rushing back to Eataliano's for what was a pleasant meal at best.

Excellent food and service as usual. ✅✅🎄🎄

Very good food and even better service we are regulars and always made fell very welcome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great place to eat no complaints

Great food, excellent service, and a nice atmosphere. We love this place and come here nearly every week.

There for a Xmas lunch with my work colleagues

We just missed out on the festive lunch so had to choose from a la carte hence the 4 stars instead of 5 ( would have done 4.8 if I could ) as it’s a bit pricey at 20 quid for the chicken dishes . Other than that the food is amazing . The service is fabulous ( same great waiter for several years ) and it’s lovely inside . Should consider a pre theatre Xmas special as the festive lunch looked awesome and great value . Will definitely return

Good and friendly service, delicious carbonara pasta and delicious wine, I recommend it.

Friendly welcome service food was great and good portion sizes restaurant was spotless will be back soon

Excellent restaurant with excellent food and excellent staff

I had an experience with Eataliano with my fiancé yesterday. The soup was the best part of the meal, The pasta was obviously dried and not handmade or fresh. The sauce was was just a basic tomato base that could be easily whipped up at home or out of a jar. Nothing screamed restaurant quality food. The service was quite long. Meals were just that bit expensive for what you receive in quality not so much quantity, portions were good. The décor inside was spot on and the restaurant is spotless, that's what gives them the 2 stars.

Great restaurant. Always fresh food and excellent service.

Random find whilst on a work trip. Lovely food, service and atmosphere.

We have been coming here for years. Fantastic food, amazing staff and restaurant is stunning!

Top food,service first class! Guests from middle of europe we are and its absolutley amazimg place. Just recommending for everyone who wisiting this area in Scotland and want to enjoying tasty food in warm and tidy place... Peace👍

Eataliano has become a favourite place to take our granddaughter for lunch every few weeks. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is scrumptious!

Excellent restaurant, but children are a bit noisy.

Had lunch with my mum and partner today. Excellent atmosphere, waiting staff very attentive Jennifer had extensive knowledge of the menu and Roberto was helpful especially with my mum. We had minestrone soup and home made chicken pâté wit carmalised red onion with salad and toast ( the best I have tasted ). Main meals were Chicken with peppercorn sauce and chips, highly recommend. Cajun chicken pasta amazing. I had mussels in a white wine and bread absolutely fantastic. Drinks were 2 Peronis, rose pino grigio, 2 Frangelico. No room for sweets. Spent 2 hours in the restaurant and there was no rush felt the staff went out of of there way to make it a memorable experience. For £22 per head it was outstanding, I would recommend a visit and will be back soon. Thanks so much to the waiting staff and the high quality of food from the kitchen staff. Felt like a michellan starred restaurant. I don’t normally leave reviews but felt compelled to due to the overall experience. WELL DONE EATITALIANO. Nick, Isa and Sandra

Delicious lunch, set lunch menu for a decent price and great variety. Good size portions. Excellent service in a beautiful restaurant.

First time eating in Etalianos for my mother in law’s birthday, there were 8 of us all together. Staff were amazing. Food was amazing Service was quick and plenty time between courses. 10/10 for how welcoming everyone was and the service. We will be returning soon

Great food, service and atmosphere. We had a great experience.

The food and the service here is excellent. Great portions and value for money. Definitely be coming back soon.

A great location for whatever the occasion . Wonderfully airy and spacious with a backdrop focus of family history and tradition.

Fantastic, food was great, and service was honestly the best I have ever experienced, big thanks to the staff for squeezing us in at the last minute

Eataliano is an unusually good "chain" restaurant. Everyone really enjoyed their food, and the service was very good. Especially considering we were a table of 12 including 3 children

Excellent lunch with wide menu. Great pizzas. Seabass with salads was amazing. Fairly priced with some of their own wines to make a difference.

Booked our table online the day before ( no issues). The restaurant was very clean and staff were so friendly. The food came out relatively quickly especially as it was Saturday dinner time ! Our table had the macaroni cheese, funghi pizza,.some sides and a risotto. All of which was delicious. So fresh and hot ! Cocktails are so cheap (£7) which is a great deal if you like that ! Will definitely return

First class place. Superb seabass with salads and wide menu. All fresh with top chef and modern equipment. Professional staff. Great experience just off the motorway and worth the effort!

Last minute decision to go out for dinner. So glad we did as it was delicious and can't fault it. Perfect service without being intrusive. 5 stars all round

Stopped by for lunch with some work colleagues. Had the Chicken Milanese Burger - very nice. Pan fried to perfection, slightly crispy batter outer, chicken still moist on the inside. Slightly crispy bacon, the way I like it. Well presented, good chips. A lunch time treat.

Second time visiting and just as lovely as the first. Very friendly staff and an amazing selection of delicious food and drink.

Lovely food, pleasant staff. Def worth a visit x

Great food, nice restaurant, service was prompt. Just felt pushed out the door, like make way for higher spending or heavy drinking customers. Apart from that nice place.

We (my kids and I) dined in Eataliano of Friday night whilst visiting my Mum and Brother for the weekend from London. Lovely venue, great menu and an absolute winner with kids. My kids are fussy eaters and for them to say it is their “favourite restaurant” know the team are doing something right. Food was delicious, well presented and excellent portion sizes. Staff attentive and couldn’t be more helpful / patient, especially when you have kids that continuously want something. We don’t visit regularly because of where we live, but definitely on our must visit list when back in Scotland for the weekend. Thanks for another lovely evening.

The food is always amazing here. We’ve been fairly regularly for a few years now and we’re never disappointed. At busier times the service sometimes suffers a little and you can be waiting a while for drinks or the bill etc but the staff are clearly trying their best and could not be nicer

Loved my visit here with the family. Great service, lovely food and a very nice restaurant design. Highly recommend, we ate from the Special Lunch menu, £17.95 for three courses. Great value and good portions.

I took my daughter (6 years old) for dinner, everything was absolutely spot on, she loved the mozzarella sticks! We shared our mains and the kids pizza was fantastic as was my pasta, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return 👌👌👌
