Dell Anita's in South Lanarkshire

Tried this place a year ago & it was good, tried it s year later & it was awful. Soup thin & tasteless, & much more expensive than before, charged 50p extra for a tiny bit of supermarket baguette. Cheaper coffee too. The best thing about the place before was Michael & he was nowhere to be seen the couple times we been in this week. All in all was awful,we won't be going back Not even if Michael was serving up his Glesga Patter.

Came here for a light lunch. There's inddor and outdoor seating, but because of social distancing, the indoor seating is about 5 tables and the decor looked in need of some refresh. There was light rain, so I had to sit inside. Most of the menu is standard British fare. There are some international favourites on the menu, but I just went with the Eggs Florentine and a Latte.I've had Eggs Florentine many times before and this was just about the most disappointing one ever. There was too much water left on the egg and as soon as I cut into the egg whites, the water flowed out soaking the muffin below. What should've been a lovely crisp texture mixed with soft eggs just turned into soggy chewy muffin mixed with eggs. You can see from the photos just how much water was in the eggs. I also pointed this out when the waiter came to collect my dish, who claimed that water was normal. Erm .. no .. I don't think so. Years of eating this dish tells me the water should be drained properly before being served, and no it is NOT normal.Both the Egg Florentine and latte very very average, with the former disappointing in the way it was served. TBH, I blame myself for not checking the reviews properly. There's such a mixed bag of ratings, it's inevitable that there's going to be good and bad days.

Lovely lunch today, great food still All staff very pleasent. Can't wait till its safe to visit again

Never been before, driving through the town on a cold wet morning looking for a cafe, managed to park across the street, thought we would pop in and give it a go. Was met with a very warm welcome by a charming man who offered us hot drinks to heat us up straight away. Had a great breakfast of bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, mushrooms, potato scone, egg and a slice of toast for only £6.50. Generous portion, piping hot, well cooked - what more could you want! Can imagine it would do a good lunch, the menu had a good choice all reasonably priced. Only drawbacks - the size of the room, with lots of tables quite close together so not easy for prams, and no public toilet. Cash only. But if we are in the area again and need a bite to eat we would certainly go back.

Delicious food, fresh and seasonal. Staff always have a smile. Michael is the constant star of Dell Anita’s.

My daughter fancied a nice cake as a treat for after dinner so I went to Dell Anita's. I can't fault the staff and the welcome - both lovely. Bought a square of caramel shortcake, which was a decent size, and two slices of chocolate Tiffin, which looked delicious. Got them in a box to take away which was very welcome. Tried the cakes after dinner and was very disappointed indeed. The caramel shortcake was all right, but nothing that you couldn't make yourself. (It's my husband's favourite, but too sweet for me). My daughter and I tried the Tiffin and I am very sorry to say that it was inedible. The biscuit mix was dry and crumbly and the chocolate on top was really unpleasant thick slab of cooking chocolate, which, as you will know, is very fatty and lacks any chocolate flavour or content. They went in the bin, so not our best venture. The menu for food looks really varied and tasty so maybe we will try sitting in for lunch.

Friendly bistro with good food. Menu is varied and has a daily specials board. Usually has 3 soups on offer, all delish. Not suitable for wheelchairs as place is small and tables are close together. No public toilet only staff toilet which if you ask you can use this. Michael is amazing and very accommodating, always service with a smile. Good selections of beverages and coffee is excellent. Good selection of cakes, scones etc. Would recommend this place for a nice lunch, breakfast or coffee and a cake. Unlicensed.

Dropped in for a coffee to the Dell Anita, Michael was very Welcoming in a , well if you were.local you'd understand , a stranger might take a offense at the constant trying to serve some Glasgow patter mixed with Italia pathos ,but we endured and ordered soup, coffee and sandwiches all to come at the one time the staffanaged this and we were served quite quickly , soup was minestrone , sandwich was filled with thin steak and a cup of Latte to wash it down , was all good , good but not great , but fairly homely , , only went for a coffee and ended up with a brunch ... maybe we did have a nicer time than we thought and at £21.00 it did not break the bank....

My friend and I popped into for something to eat. As soon as we arrived someone from behind the counter “shouted” across the shop. “We close in 10 mins, what do you want”. This was very embarrassing! I asked what could we have and was told,only filled rolls so we said that would be fine (we really wanted a meal). Anyhow it eventually came but during waiting the staff were talking very loudly to each other and made us feel very uncomfortable! We eat quickly and left. For what we paid we could have had a decent meal. Place was nice and rolls were nice but being nice to customer costs nothing. Very dissatisfied. Shame !

Love it in here Breakfast is amazing! The staff are more than helpful! The cafe is immaculate! Haven't got a bad word to say about these guys Happy customer 😊

Called in for a tea and breakfast of poached eggs Both had the same great service thank you Micheal Bit pricy but very good and relaxing Well worth a visit

He estado en un montón de Dell de anita de veces, y nunca decepciona. Desde desayunos completos, baguettes, sopas y pastas siempre es deliciosa y una gran relación calidad-precio, servicio rápido!Mi favorito personal es la ensalada de pollo cesar es genial completo pechuga de pollo croutons fresco y un montón de salsa! ! !No puedo evitar reír en la última crítica porque cuando es £13 por 2 cuencos de pasta y pan de ajo"." asqueroso . .

Si pudiera dar un punto negativo. La comida es asquerosa, sí, esta es una palabra fuerte, pero muy cierto.

Ideal cafe for chilling out, eating and watching the world go by. Food always of a high standard and friendly service.

Yo realmente no me puedo quejar del: Anitas mucho como un café porque cumple muchas cajas de madrugada. No es lujoso, pero la comida siempre es decente, platos venido tuberías calientes y caliente (siempre). Los desayunos son buenos fair estándar con desayuno cocinado, revueltos, escalfados, tostadas francesas, no quería nada. Café fresco y caliente con buen sabor. El personal siempre es atento y nada es demasiado pedir, Michael mantiene a todo el mundo con su epocas, Andy es un caballero y las chicas son simplemente encantadoras. Cuando el pollo está en el Balmoral especiales que tienen.

Stopped here for coffee and cake, coffee was nice. Really friendly little coffee shop/ restaurant, staff were very engaging and created a nice feel to the place.

Mi hija y yo metimos aquí desayuno tardío para ella y un almuerzo para mí. Ella tenía un desayuno completo, bien presentado y preparado. Tenía dos huevos escalfados y tostadas con judías, era muy agradable. El personal es encantador y muy atento.

El lugar es pequeño y puede ser agitado. La gente haciendo fila para recoger llevar, mientras aquellos en el restaurante le esperan sus órdenes haciendo aún más pequeño. Zona de preparación de alimentos parecía caótico. La comida en sí no era más que la media, pero un poco caro para lo que te dan. El personal no tenía idea de qué era la izquierda del menú y los pedidos eran mezcladas como resultado. No apresurarnos volver

Very good deliBrilliant staff Very welcoming Good superb foodBrilliant menu choice Very clean and modern

After a night out in Bothwell and missing our hotel brekkie we ventured out into Uddingston and headed to the highly rated Dell Anita's.The place was half full so we got our table for 4 and looked at the wall menus.It's a family run place and the wee guy serving us was full of the Glasgow banter and seemed to know everyone that came in which is always a good sign.Reasonably priced , good food with fantastic coffee and to be honest I would have paid just to sit and watch the people and soak in the atmosphere .Service excellent but not the fastest but that's fine because if your eating out you shouldn't be in a hurry.My wife spilt her coffee which was swiftly replaced free of charge which was a lovely touch.Well recommended!!

Very happy to find this place for an impromptu lunch. Soup and sandwhich was exactly what we wanted. Fresh sandwhich and delish hot soup. Highly recommended

This is a fantastic place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Everything is cooked freshly to order and is always tasty. The staff are efficient and friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Fantastic meal lovely little deli the staff were amazing so pleasant and helpful will definitely be back

Lovely little cafe, had the best breakfast ever here. Loving the guy serving it, Michael. That kind of guy who makes your day just by giving you a coffee. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him. Great quality of food, good prices. It's a bit small, but it's very cosy. Definitely have more breakfasts here!

Went here with some friends for a light lunch. It is quite a small premises and the tables are very close together so not much privacy. This is the only negative point. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the food was good. Good selection and some lovely cakes too. It is nice to go in if you are passing but wouldnt go out of my way to eat here.

Been in a few times for a Takeawy , and went in for a sit in breakfast yesterday.Nice relaxing clean place, usually get served by the "older guys" who are really friendly and happy with us and other customers.Always a good sign and gives the place a bit of atmosphere ..Service is fast also...

We've eaten here on several occasions & although a small place you can be assured they will try to fit you in. The food is freshly made & delicious & reasonably priced.

Welcoming little Deli. Popped in for breakfast before continuing on our journey. Food well presented and good sized portions. Scrambled egg was light, fluffy and delicious. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

If your looking for a restaurant with delicious coffee, lovely food and brilliant atmosphere then Del Anita's is the place to be. I could not recommend this great restaurant enough. The service is superb especially Vincent - who is a lovely, friendly and welcoming man and Micheal - who creates a great ambiance in the restaurant with his funny and friendly personality and Anita - amazing cook, kind and genuine woman. Fair to say all the staff members within this restaurant are exceptional and i would highly recommend to visit. The great food and delicious tasty coffee are great and their is a great range of food and beverages to suit all taste buds. I most definitely highly recommend people to visit!

My friend and I visited for breakfast and it was lovely. Breakfast was tasty and a good portion size, definitely value for money. Staff were really friendly and attentive and provided great service. Highly recommend!

Met some friends for lunch, good service and choice of food was good. Also good for takeaway. With plenty of choice. A bit on the small side though.

Basically just a roll shop way way over priced & staff are always trying to sell you more than you ask for was asked 5 times if I wanted any cakes or tray bakes you would think after the first 2 refusals they would get the message, average food as to be expected rolls a roll at the end of the day...tunnocks, gregs & breadsticks serve same quality only cheaper without the hard sell

Great wee place for a coffee and cake on the Main Street. The ham salad rolls are delicious and very full. The food is always great quality and service is friendly and local.

It is a pleasure to visit Anita's. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. A wee gem in the heart of Uddingston.

Went into this restaurant on Saturday morning for a late breakfast. Read the menu and as a vegetarian asked if I could have the breakfast without the sausage and the bacon. "Oh I don't think we will be able to do that" I was told " but will ask". Incredulous I waited only to be told "No we can't do it." They had the eggs, the tomatoes and the baked beans but they couldn't put it on a plate for me. This is like going into a chip shop where they have fish and chips and asking if you can have just the chips only to be told "No we can't do that."No explanation, no apology was given.Instead we had tasteless Macoroni Cheese.Glasgow is the fourth largest city in the Uk. Come on Del Anita's move into the 21st Century.Needless to say we won't be back until you do.

Have had similar experiences both times I have visited this coffee shop (first time I thought maybe the waiter/owner was having a bad day). The food is lovely and reasonably priced. Coffee and hot chocolate are both delicious. Shame that soft drinks aren't served with ice. Unfortunately I won't be returning because of the rude male member of staff (older guy, very grumpy, no people skills whatsoever). I felt like I was an inconvenience and he treated children with disdain. On speaking to others about my experience, I found that they had similar experiences. It's such a shame because feeling at ease and being looked after are important parts of going for a meal. With several other coffee shops in the area and a Costa coffee opening soon, Dell Anita's will have to up its game in terms of customer service to retain customers.

This looks like an unassuming café on the main street as your drive through Uddingston but don't be fooled. The food is fantastic! The staff are welcoming and the daily specials are great. Don't miss trying the home made soup. On my latest visit it was lentil and the bowl you get is huge, hot and tasty. Just ideal on a cold day. Even if you just pop in for coffee and home made tray bake you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to find an excuse to drive this way again!

Visited one Sunday after lunchtime. Place was rammed, but the menu on offer limited. However,despite several attempts to purchase something other than a cooked breakfast, we were basically told that most items were 'sold out' - a good sign I'm sure- but as a first time visitor it was a bit of a poor experience.Haven't returned, but will possibly try again one day to see if improvement is there.

Great food and very friendly staff. Love to have breakfast or lunch here. Great homemade soup and lovely Italian bread. All of their dishes are delicious

This is run by an italian chap who knows how to make good coffee. The menu is limited but everything is freshly prepared and tasty. It is also well priced and spotlessly clean and I love their scrambled eggs.

Great place for either a coffee and cake or snack, also fantastic for lunch and they also do a very good carry out service

As locals we try to visit this Deli as often as we can, great value.You can tell this is a family run enterprise as soon as you enter, The staff are courteous and fun to be around, with plenty of local banter.The menu is varied with lots of daily specials, the soups and breakfasts are worth a special mention.Santa

I dont drink coffee, so coffee houses are not "my thing". But on a freezing day where spending some time with Mum and Aunt is due then a coffee house it is. What a find! I only live 159m from Dell Anitas and now feel a bit ashamed of never frequenting before.Opened the door to a blast of warm air and a cosy cottage kind of feel. The little place is stuffed with comfortable chairs and tables all at the same level with little room for movement but it only adds to the cheery personality of the banterful waiter. Low cyndrical lampshades are a nice touch.We ordered pancakes and maple syrup, 2 plates between 3 was more than enough. They were simply devine!!!!! Proper thin crispy on the outside and oozing a buttery moistness on the inside served with the perfect amount of syrup on the side. Not had a perfect pancake since I was about 6 and "The Pancake Place" chain was still in gear. I watched as customers of all ages (provided a pic, sorry if iv made someones grandparent unvoluntary famous) come and go, a constant stream of people.I watched as people waited outside in the freezing cold for a table and i watched the waiter go outside to assure them it wouldnt be long.....how compassionate is that in todays society....touching.I watched as plate after plate exited the kitchen with golden toasties and fresh popped up salad, crispy french toast, chilled home baking, melt in the middle ciabattas and fluffy plump sunny fries.I watched as the grand master Anita meticulously carved baguettes, ensuring the filling was evenly and generously consistent when folded over.I watched as she cracked the whip at her staff and told them to "keep moving" in their already buzzy ethos, her staff are a credit to her. Pleasant and obliging.I watched as every single customer was acknowledged when they entered or left, many on a first name basis.I watched as people of all ages from babies, hungover 20somethings munching a full fry up at 1pm, 30somethings wandering in during a walk, workies popping in for a takeaway butty all the way up to elderly lonesomes who obviously enjoy the company of just being social.....everyone of them smiled being in here and with good reason!!Prices falling in the normal category of about 3 quid for a coffee, 6 quid for a main meal....you know, good grub for good price. Im more observant of the quality of food and service than price.I have 2 little gripes. They didnt stock ice for my juice and i still smell a bit like a toastie after being in Anitas for just over an hour. Small prices to pay.Been to many many places all over the globe, most of which iv not documented on Trip Advisor but the overall perception of Dell Anitas is unsurpassed and i felt i had to give credit where its due. Service, food, cleanliness, banter, an enthusiatic hands on boss (im the one who asked if id done your hair in Rusks) and it is most definately part of my top 5. This skinny critic says Dell Anitas has the "catering to food and customers" malarky by the balls.See you guys again very soon.

Stumbled on here when passing through the town with my friend and our partners.Really warm welcome when we came in from the waiter who was top class, he had all the chat. We opted for cooked breakfasts & French toast with bacon which were all demolished.Fresh coffee was great too, busy wee place.Place was clean and staff more than attentive.Really decent place for the money.We will 100% be back soon.

This has to be one of the best places I have been for breakfast. I had an omelette which was best I've had. My boyfriend had deluxe French toast with bacon which I couldn't stop staring at. It looked amazing. Unfortunately for me I have a wheat intolerance so couldn't try it! All other meals that came out looked amazing too. Took a wee while to get served but place was extremely busy and it was worth the wait.

In the area on business popped in for lunch what a great restaurant ordered the macaroni which was fresh pasta any the awful microwave staff was excellent Will be back

Recently went to dell Anita's for lunch value for money staff excellent. Anita and Michael sure know how to treat there customer very friendly and food presentation and quality of food excellent the deli is spotless and couldn't fault this in anyway best place in Uddingston for breakfast or lunch also my mother loves there take away coffee that's why I make a point of making a visit at least once a week been coming for over 2 years now

Quick lunch in Uddingston waiting for our car to be repaired. We were served by a flamboyant and chatty waiter who not only took your order but gave us his patter as well. I found him to be very entertaining and thought no more of it. The waiter also knew many of his customers by their first names and we enjoyed our visit.We had a baked potato and a toasted sandwich which were nice and all served promptly.I would go back again.

We recently moved to Uddingston and had been here several Saturday's on the trot as it was local and the food was good. However after 2 incidents with a member of staff I would highly recommend not to touch this place with a barge pole. My daughter went in on her own and I was not there but she was very rudely ticked off about her manners by a staff member called Michael. She was reduced to tears. When my wife went in to ask what the problem was she was given a verbal assault which she actually reported to the police, being aggressively lectured about the way she had brought up my daughter. He was eventually practically restrained by another staff member, the owners father. Completely unacceptable. I visited later and spoke to the manager Anita who seemed very disinterested but took my number as all we really wanted was an apology but even that seemed to be too muchthe guy. Plenty of other nicer places to go and be treated like a human being in the local area. Customer service nil. Will not be back.

Had breakfast here the other morning made to feel very welcome even though we walked in 10 mins before they opened.Delish cappuccinos and full breakfast with quality thick cut toast, no links sausage but the square was good. Other dish scrambled eggs on toast was good size portion for the money.Good value and service with a personal touch. Will be back soon, recommended :)

Myself and my friend attempted to enter this cafe earlier today. However we were physically prevented from doing so when an arrogant member of staff (who I assumed to be the owner) ran to the door to stop me from entering. Advising me that "prams are too difficult". I was not sure what he meant at first as I have seldom been met with such an attitude. However he continued to stand in my way, stopping me from proceeding and kept repeating that prams are too difficult. There was ample space at a table which had become available at the window so I really did not understand why we should be met with this discrimination. Just to clarify his point I asked him was he turning away two mothers with their prams. I had to ask twice as I was in complete disbelief. I then advised him not to worry and I would not be spending any of my money there. This is far from a welcoming establishment.

Having recently moved to the area, I have visited this cafe/restaurant around 8 times within the last 2 weeks, mainly for coffee.Today I had the most intimidating encounter with the owners in front of several customers in relation to my parenting skills after telling my 12 year old daughter she has no manners. Rather than apologising for upsetting my daughter they called my parenting skills into question. My daughter is a A Grade student with lovely manners. Really disappointing service and customer experience all round, just as well the food and drink is good. I will never visit this shop again.

We go here every Wednesday for lunch they have a great choice of food and Michael is a real gentleman who service makes you feel very welcome

Been here a few times over the years, staff always friendly and polite. The coffee is a high standard, great selection of cakes. Recommended.

Been here twice now due to sons football game at Thorniewood Juniors. I remembered the staff being friendly and the food delicious so we decided to return. You're always made to feel welcome. The food is tasty and fresh. Would highly recommend this deli.

Not sure why this place has been rated so highly. On entering the stench of grease is almost overwhelming and clung to our clothes long after leaving. Ridiculously overpriced and waiter who I assume is the owner couldn't have been more rude.

Popped into Dell Anita's for lunch recently and loved it. The food, atmosphere and service were first class. Waiter had fabulous chat and really amused us while we were there. Would go back for that alone but the food was delicious too. I had a ciabatta and other half had a toasted sandwich. Both were great but the ciabatta was extra nice. Will be back soon!

Brilliant atmosphere and service. We felt as if the waiter had known us for several years. Coffee and lunch very good

took a friend who was visiting for breakfast and she was well impressed with the friendly atmosphere and great service Food as always fantastic warm and cosy place to relax have a chat and catch up with the banter in the village !!Well done to Anita and the team !!!

Fantastic little coffee shop/bistro with tasty and delicious food. Breakfasts are first class as it the authentic italian food and the lunch time sandwiches. Would eat here every day if I could

A fantastic little find in Uddingston Main Street excellent location nothing is too much trouble , all the staff are fantastic and their wit and banter is warm as is their welcome to this little gemFood is great from breakfast choices to their soups and sandwiches sitting in or taking out pay Anita and her staff a visit you will not be disappointed spotlessly clean

Del Anita's is a great little cafe on Uddingston Main Street. The food is always good, the place is spotlessly clean and Andy, Michael and Anita always make you feel welcome. However, now comes the but and it is a big but! Never before have I met such a rude, arrogant and unpleasant man as the guy who works there named Vincent. If this man smiled his surly little face would crack and it is about time he either remembered who keeps him in his cheap nylon sweaters and Cuban heeled shoes or retired to somewhere where he had no customer contact ! He is definitely the bad apple in a very nice pie !

Been to Dell Anita's on quite a few occasions for breakfast. Great selection, reasonably priced and the staff are really nice.
