La Dolce Vita in Renfrewshire

We had been wanting to visit here for a while as we had heard good things, we ordered on the app but many things seemed out of stock? We ordered a large pizza supper yo share, we arrived at the time we were told to collect but it wasn't ready, we had to wait another 10 mins. Staff were very warm and friendly, the portions were quite big but still seemed a little overpriced compared to other chippys. The pizza supper was nice although it was definitely an oven baked pizza as there was no crunch to it? Everything was a bit oily for my liking but still quite tatsy. Might try again but certainly not the best I've had!

Fish was very greasy and made me feel queasy for some time after. Service was slow for no actual reason, other then the server gossiping with another customer. Everything is more expensive than it needs to be and doesn't represent value for money. It's really the only option for this type of food in Lochwinnoch, so it undeservedly gets all the business. Some competition wouldn't go amiss, for everybody's sake.

Terrible place for online orders. You try for an hour solid and their number kust keeps ringing out, then ubtry again amd ots engaged, then fter that just keepes ringing out again. Its not even as if they are busy. Utter shambles of a company. Order elswhere!!

Had a takeaway fish and chips for lunch. Beautiful flaky white haddock with crispy batter, tasty chips. Very Good value and large portion sizes even for the small supper. Very friendly staff, will definitely return when in area again.

Donner meat was hard as was the burger. So much burger sauce (on a donner burger) that the bottom of the bun was soggy and couldn't be held. minimal donner sauce on the burger. we were missing a portion of chips too but as we had walked from the park and then driven to Beith, was too late. u sure if we were charged for it or not. asked if we wanted salt, vinegar and sauce, didn't get these either. was really disappointing. This was a Thursday night around 6pm and it didn't appear particularly busy.

Best takeaway around pizza delish chicken pakora amazing helpful staff great deals chips and fritters lovley

Ordered a rodeo burger a king rib and some beers and outstanding once again I don’t actually like chip shops but la dolce vita has win me over

Great choice of food, wide varied menu and friendly helpful staff. Pizzas are fantastic with lots of topping. Delivery can include other items from the shop so wine, chocolate egg can be delivered at the same time. Delivery drivers are always very courteous and friendly. Great service

Absolutely appalling delivery service due to greedy Owners who can’t fulfill there orders !!! Quoted 40 mins and 2 hrs later still nothing!!! Will never use this place again .

Got a pizza chicken deal last night for me and my mum who was out visiting and genually have no words this is hands down the best pizza I have ever tried in my life! I'm a head chef and traveled the UK the last 7 year's and never has my pallet experienced a pizza like that, never again will I go to Domino's, La Dolce Vita has outdone them by a mile! I took the time to phone them and thank them for the food unbelievable

From Sausage Suppers, Chips & Cheese & Pizza’s, out off all the different chippies ive been to, this has got to be the best! 5 Stars!

Been here so often and does a fantastic pizza as well as the traditional chippy standards. Also has a good range of wine.

Stopped for a quick cup of tea during a wet bike ride. Great cup of tea with friendly service and only cost a quid! Their fry and pizzas are always good and there is a very well stocked wine selection. Always worth a stop.

Its a must go to when I'm back. The whole family and staff treat you as an old friend. The undoubted stars of the show are the pizzas, burgers and my oh my the kebabs..😁 these were my staple friday night tea for many years.

Have had various meals over the years, fish, fritters, black pudding, steak pie, lasagne, burgers and of course chips, never disappoints and the staff are all great

Been a few months since we last visited, due holidays work etc, ordered our usual Special fish suppers, and on getting them home discovered they were “ different” , not nearly as good as they used to be, don’t get me wrong they were perfectly acceptable, but the breadcrumb coating has changed, a different colour and texture. You need to go back to the old coating guys, it was far superior.

Best Pizza ever. Knocks the socks off any of the big names like Dominoes or any others you care to mention. Does all the usual Fish and Chip shop fare too - and does it well! Try some of the potato fritters or the pizza crunch - you will not be disappointed. Suppers are always a generous size with the fish supper containing two decent sized pieces of fish. The selection of burgers rivals any posh burger joint you might have been to and the pasta dishes are of a proper traditional style with delicious sauces. Variety is the spice of life, hot chicken bites - and BBQ chicken bites - nice and sticky. Donner Kebabs? Yup, those too! Get the Pizza Di Vista with extra mushrooms....!

Stopped in for ice cream on recommendation of a friend. The ice cream was not the best but good and again service not the best but not bad.

my family and I have used La Dolce Vita for years and the quality and service has been consistently good. All food they served is very good and excellent value but their chicken pakora is fav also the freshly made coffee is top class too.Thank you Remo,Wee Lizzy,Sergio,Mrs Pia and team.Top class chippyE&wee D

I have to be honest we usually go to the cafe over the road when hubby is working over here. Anyway it was closed for holidays so we popped in here and had the best breakfast baguette and coffee for half the price.We have been in before to buy things and the guy who runs it is always so friendly and cheerful.Still love the other place but now we won't be able to choose between the two !

As well as proper Italian ice cream, and really good fish suppers, they do fantastic pizzas, as well as an extensive menu of burgers and more. And, they have a really good selection of wines, from nice everyday wine, to special bottles of the best Italian wine for special occasions. And, it is a great place in the mornings when it is quiet to have a cup of really good coffee, and a seat by the window. And the people are really friendly and welcoming too. We are lucky to have this in the village.

Terrific local chippy with loads on their extensive takeaway menu,takeaway pizzas are a must to try along with varies types of burger ecetra.

This is a little different. A chippy - not a down at heel one, nor a posh one with gentrified prices and slices of lemon, but somewhere in between. Excellent value for the portion size. They also sell a bundle of other things, including ice creams which look interesting. So, options here. Service was friendly and quick, and the chips were hot. Recommended.

Have loved this place for years! They have a chip shop, lots of sweets to choose from, ice cream, drinks to take away... The best tasting ice cream about.

From the home made pizzas to the barbecue chicken, we love it all. A special plus is the wine selection. Lochwinnoch is lucky to have such a consistently excellent purveyor of food- and not just chips!!

Great choice of food, friendly staff and well stocked shop. The family who run the take away are lovely and always have a welcome for the customers.

Been to this chippie several times hroughout the year and often find inconsistent chip quality in the sense they are either reheated or warm not hot! No steam coming off the bag when opened. Have kept going back hoping next time would be better but let down again tonight so won’t be returning.

Brilliant selection! Every single dish is freshly cooked to order. Lovely dedicated staff, even cones with gorgeous selection of ice cream for dessert.

We ordered pizza to eat for our tea & it didn't disappoint, was delicious, will definitely be back here if in the area again.

What more could you ask for.. in Lochwinnoch on a short break popped in here and it's a gem... fab food.. wines.. what a treasure highly recommend a visit if you are in the area

Really lovely tasting ice cream at good prices compliments the very good fish and chips along with great service.

Traditional chippy which also offers a great range of additional food - well worth a visit. Parking available on the street outside.

Por allí estaba en caja preciosa chippy para nosotros tres y había más que suficiente muy buena volveremos pronto.

Familia todos pueden encontrar algo aquí y como una pizzería y chippy la comida es realmente excelente. Un favorito habitual.

La comida está recién preparados y cocinados. Helado es caro, pero bien vale la pena el dinero, ya que es delicioso. La comida es estupenda y chips no grasienta como algunos otros. Teníamos un horno de pizza con nuestra orden y fue cocinado a la perfección.

Lovely, friendly staff served chips done proper, which is something increasingly difficult to find in Scotland. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed La Dolce Vita more than a few times during our 2 week stay in Lochwinnoch. The fish & Chips, the calzones, the doner...it is all fantastic!! The service was great, we were always greeted with a smile!!

I don't think I have ever had a poor meal from our local chippy. The fish suppers are enormous and the fish is generally cooked while you wait. The pizzas are also made on the premises and delicious. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of serving that you receive.

Fish & chips and pizzas are good but the burgers are pretty sub standard. They're thin and every time they are burnt and tasteless, and almost always cold when they arrive. I understand they're not going to be piping hot when delivered but at least stick them in a insulated bag in the car please.

We won't consider going anywhere else for our fish and chips. Great size of portions and food always fresh. Lots of choices on the menu can recommend the mac and cheese and the burgers. Lochwinnoch lucky to have such a great chippy

A great local take away for fish and chips ,pizzas, etc. Always to a high standard. Highly recommend.

We frequently get a carry out from this, our local fish and chip shop, with only occasional breaks due to our increasing girth. The small fish supper is definitely recommended and does the job of tastily filling a hole when work demands prevent us cooking for ourselves. Like everyone else in the village we always get a really friendly welcome and a chat. I recommend this shop.

Typical of all fish and chip shops. Junk food may appeal to some people........for me, no thanks. Nothing on their menu appeals to me.

Freshly made all very good fish suppers and others suchas black pudding, pies and pizzas with a licensed café attached. All including food and drinks can be home delivery.

Best chippy in the area. I don't even live in Lochwinnoch but come to La Dolce Vita as its the best chippy around! Always consistantly good.I love the fact that they can take card payments over the phone when placing an order for delivery. The only way they could make this better is if they had a website to order on!

I'm staying temporarily in Lochwinnoch and really didn't fancy cooking on a Friday evening. I wasn't optimistic about the carry-out opportunities in this small town so I was heartened to read the very positive reviews of this establishment and decided to investigate.I wasn't disappointed. I'd expected a wait for my fish supper but as it happened I didn't have to wait all that long. When I got home and opened the box I found two good-sized pieces of haddock and a generous portion of perfectly golden chips. The haddock was well-cooked and and succulent. The batter was a tad on the flabby side but not too much so. The whole meal was delicious and very good value for money. Service was friendly and efficient. I'd have no hesitation in coming here again, perhaps to try more things from the extensive menu.

Would rather drive or get a delivery from here than the chip shop in the town we live , great choice wether it be pasta , kebab pizza or fish n chips etc u can also through in a bottle of wine , great can't fault it xx

As the other reviews all state, it is a great chippy BUT it is also a very good pizza parlour. We tried several items on the menu (at varying times of the day also) including the pizza and was impressed with each and every meal. Even a nice drive by Americano was a hit one morning. Staff could not have been friendlier and service times were prompt. Shame it is not open a little later for a snack during the nightly pilgrimage between The Bull and Corner Bar though.

A wee gem of a place. Loving the meal combination ideas. Pizza, chips, BBQ chicken pieces with salad and coleslaw. We've had this with the pakora side too. All freshly made. Piping hot and generous portions. Please visit and try something from their extensive menu. We will try the pasta next time xx

We always pop in here when we have been walking in Lochwinnoch the ice cream is amazing and the staff are always very friendly. The odd time we have also had there fish and chips they to are good and always fresh so you dont mind waiting better than getting reheats!! Definitively worth a visit.

Good average fish and chips available in this small chip shop. Portions and prices good and staff friendly. I had quite a wait for my fish. On street parking difficult and I often have to just drive on past this place as there was no parking space available.

Always have a bag of chips when we go to lochwinnoch. Also sells delicious ice cream. Worth a visit.

family run, fabulous chat always brilliant food and as troubles with my car they made the effort to come out to the country for one supper! Thank you always quality and always go the extra mile.

Have you tried these fritters?? Thin as glass and the size of side plates. By far the best fritter ever to pass your lips. We love love love the staff and the food in this place. I have been driving past the Beith chippy to get to the lochwinnoch one for more years than I can remember. Always worth the journey. These guys never disappoint

After a nice walk around the loch this was the perfect end to a great day. I got a hamburger supper and my partner got a sausage supper,one word to describe is beautiful. Couldn't beat it and did the job of filling us up. Only thing that I could criticise is the lack of salt and vinegar but I'm sure the staff would add more next time if asked as they were very nice and friendly. Great little find for us.

Excellent choice of italian/pizza/chip shop style of food,amazing Italian ice cream,never been disappointed,friendly staff as well,speedy delivery,great place to order/pick up from

La Dolce Vita has ice cream, coffee, sweets, and hot food. Best fish and chips ever! It was even recommended to us by cousins who live in a neighbouring town (after we had already been there!)

I have been a customer here for many many years since it was known at "Pias" never been disappointed . Lovely food and service ! Definitely recommend going !

Always get a Fish supper which Is good comes with slice of Lemon and tartar sauce.They never have fritters ready.,It taste ok only downfall is you burb after it like a cheap oil taste maybe they buy cheap oil .as you always burb a horrible oil taste .but I do like this shop.

If you think the pizza will be anything other than what you could buy out of Tesco think again and save your money!Just had what has to be the most disappointing pizza ever. Looking forward to a lovely Italian made thin crust with plenty of tastysalami and cheese. No salami, cheese burned and a big lump of dough. What a disappointment.Feeling a bit conned actually. However to be balanced, their black pudding, chips are great consistently and my friend had macaroni and cheese (and true Italian style - maybe more Scottish after all?).What happened at all guys????Have also to say that service is always first class!

Always loved getting pizza and fish suppers out of la dolce vita however the last time I was there they completely messed up our order and had to deliver a completely new thing. Another thing is the waiting timeFor an order. Could be better but overall lovely food and friendly staff

Best chippy around this area partial to a sausage supper 8/10.staff nice only had take away but there is acafe

Arrived in the village late for several days of househunting in the immediate area. Chippy was open. Friendly staff, quick service, and chips were done just right - something Edinburgh chippys often fail badly at. Will obviously be back in the future. A great start to our adventure.

This was the best chicken and chips I have ever had my Bro had the haggis also amazing well worth a visit I for one will be going back

Definately the best chippy I've ever visited . Food always cooked fresh and to perfection, quality, quantity and value for money are at a high.Staff are consistently friendly and fast. Definately recommended

Great chip shop and also fantastic pizzas and to top it off friendly staff. I usually use for my weekly take away keep up the great work!

great wee place serving delicious traditional fish and chips, bagettes, kebabs, pizzas. Super friendly service too :)

This chippie is the best by far, it reminds me of the chip shops of old (just a shame you can't still get your fish supper in newspaper, that would completely seal the deal).The batter is always crispy and the product fresh, well done to everyone in the shop who are fast and efficient.:)

Great Fried food, kebabs, and pizzas, and fantastic ice cream.Fish freshly fried, service excellent, variety of kids meals, hot dyas, why not try variety of ice creams

great wee place, lots of choice. great service.. good food.. fish and chips is so tasty. pizzas are yummy. ice cream as well. worth traveling to.

i drool every time i visit lochwinnoch its a fish and chip restaurant and cafe not a restaurant as such but i enjoy it sometimes drive past it it too tempting

Well were do I start with this chippy I love it ! Friendly staff always , the only thing I haven't tried in this chippy is the haggis pakora so I can't speak for that but everything else is lovely definitely the pizzas ! I probably should use it less though I do think its bad when staff start to recognise my voice on the phone when ordering from home

It's a chip shop and not a restaurant. As you'd expect from a chip shop, the food is generally unhealthy but ok for a treat once in a while however it is hit and miss whether you get freshly cooked chips (i didn't) and I reckon £1.80 for a chip roll is expensive. Shall not return.

I've been coming to this chip shop for 22 years and love everything from the pizzas to the fish. Always big smiles behind the counter. Best chip shop in Scotland

They know how to cook chips properly here. Great place in a sleepy little Glasgow commuter town. Good nosh, good fish, good times, and a regular place to stop when shuttling between coast and Glasgow.

After our disappointing lunch elsewhere in the village went here for a fish supper and were well pleased. People behind the counter were friendly and funny. Fish well cooked. Chips sublime, definitely cooked right. Prices were keen. Edinburgh chippies, mainly tourist traps with overpriced nosh, could do well to copy.
