Had a large group here for a meal and the service was great! Everyone enjoyed it, the food was all served to us together and we had a lovely meal with great service. Wish the place was still up and running at marchmount as the building was amazing. Will always be my favourite restaurant

Staying in Lockerbie on business from South Wales, we did an online search and found Little Italy. Phoned and made a booking. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome. The restaurant is in what appears to be a converted barn. Seating is upstairs in a large yet intimate setting. The menu is very good and offers a good choice. The food when it arrived was perfect, such wonderful presentation and the taste mmmm! I have ate in many restaurants and this ranks as one of the best. I can recommend Little Italy to you

Really enjoyed a varied meal - pizza really well cooked and pasta perfect, together with good House wine. Deserts really good as well and great coffee. friendly staff made the evening enjoyable. Phone ahead and I would strongly recommend this place if trying to find somewhere half decent.

A superb meal on 19/8/17, served by Keiran who was very attentive and professional at all times and clearly knows how to read his tables and his customers very well. The food was amazing and well executed, full of flavour and went down very well with the two bottles of chilled wine we ordered. Also nice to be greeted by Kelsey at the front doors who made us feel very welcome indeed, another great member of staff. Thanks to all for a perfect birthday dinner. 10/10

Myself & my sister had three courses each and a carafe of rose. When we asked for the bill we were given our bill but it had only been charged for one two course meal. I queried it with the waitress she didn't seem surprised took it away and came back with the correct bill. The food was gorgeous as always however felt like we were bugging the waitress re bill.

We enjoyed an evening meal here recently. The ambience was lovely, complemented by excellent service.My only slight criticism is of the quality of the chicken used in my main course. For a little more money, better quality meat could have been used. The vegetables, the sauce were delicious but were let down by the lack of flavour in the meat.The chocolate dessert was superb.

Fabtastic Italian restaurant which places customer service up front to ensure the dining experience is one that the clients remember. I decided on the daily specials of carrot and coriander soup and rump of lamb with rosti. Excellent meal. My sister enjoyed pork loin while my brother in law had salmon. The staff here are helpful and will answer your questions. I'm certain the locals know Little Italy very well. If you are in the area, make a reservation and enjoy your meal.

Decided to take advantage of the Pronto (Early Dinner) Menu. After a pleasant 40 minute walk from home a pint of Peroni each was our reward. Standard style of Italian restaurant early evening selection available. We had pate and panzanelle to start follwed by tagliatelli carbonara and a stone baked pepperoni pizza. Food was perfect, staff were helpful, friendly, and there was no rush. Minor gripe is the high drinks prices compared to the food. We paid more for 3 pints and a half carafe of wine that for our two courses. I know restaurants need to make money but 20% less for drinks would still be a profit for them and would entice me to return more frequently [and could turn 4 out of 5 into a perfect 5]. Just a thought

Booked for Saturday night at 8.50. Table for 2 for my aunt and I. Seated next to a large table of 8 who were very very nosy. Couldn't hear my aunts chat. Had to shout to order my food. The table just got louder and more disruptive as the night went on. We didn't complain but when the woman in the group smashed a wine glass on the lovely glass table... management steps in and asked them to keep the noise down, be careful and respect others. We ended up in a confrontation with this table as we were the nearest and had to be moved as they decided it was us who had complained!!!The staff were amazing.... moving us quickly, offering us a free drink and being superbly attentive... even with all this going on... it did not take away how wonderful the food was. Large portions, expected prices. Tasty well cooked food and the setting is conducive to enhance your eating experience. Once the table of 8 left that is!!!! Staff were fabulous, kind, helpful, very friendly and attentive. I definitely would go back. £60 got 3 courses and a bottle of wine for 2

I recently returned to this restaurant, this time with a party of four. On this occasion it was our best ever experience here. A great friendly welcome was followed up with perhaps the best service ever experienced outside our Hilton visits in both UK and USA. Our waitress Kelsey was charm and efficiency personified! We dined in the downstairs part of the restaurant so it was cooler and more intimate - (it was a very warm evening outside). Every course was a delight and served timeously. Food quality was excellent. I can hardly wait for our next visit - thanks to all.

Mazza, Rab and the staff ensured every need was catered for and were happy to provide exactly what we wanted for the party of 48 guests. We had the downstairs restaurant to ourselves and guests enjoyed the sociable aspect of the round tables. All in all, a fabulous night with exceptional food and service. Many guests commented that the steaks were the best they had ever tasted!

I'm not sure what happened to our order today . There were a few mistakes to the ordered meals which my family quietly and politely pointed out . The waitress appeared quite annoyed by the suggestion that the items hadn't been ordered she argued and disagreed with us which was very unprofessional and made us feel very uncomfortable . We played it down and accepted what was offered so as not to cause any atmosphere during our lunch . The service was very poor and no attempt was made to make sure we were ok , make any kind of conversation or to ask if we would like dessert or coffees. Was this due to lunch service finishing at 2.30 ? Our meal was booked for 2pm . The food itself was enjoyed apart from one florentine pizza which was luke warm the egg and spinach not cooked adequately .......very disappointing. All in all not very welcoming and sadly a feeling of being rushed . Maybe evening service might be a better experience !

Our friends who live in Dumfries recommended this as the best restaurant in Dumfries. We enjoyed our meal there very much. We did not book but fortunately arrived as the early people were finishing so we could be accommodated. It is worth booking as it was obviously very popular. The owner is very welcoming and attentive without being too attentive. My husband had chicken in a delicious chilli sauce and I had a pizza with asparagus, courgettes and balsamic onions to mention just a few of the toppings on it! Everything was freshly cooked and made. The prices were similar to your italian chains but so much nicer. Definitely worth a visit.

We were told of this place by the manager at the hotel we were staying at in Dumfries.The place has a private car park at the rear of the restaurant which makes it very convenient.The table we were given was upstairs. The decor was good with open wood beams showing the attic space and original construction.The dinner menu has two options where you can go early and have their " Pronto menu" or the later menu with full options. The pronto menu has a limited option but is still good. This was the one we went for and thoroughly enjoyed it.For starters we chose, Garlic mushrooms and a Bruschetta, both of which were tasty. The main courses we chose were a pizza and a pasta dish. AGain both were very tasty. The pizza is probably one of the best we have had in Scotland and was a stone baked one.Service by the staff was good as was the atmosphere.Would we go there again, most definitely yes.

My family and I (4 adults and 1 child ) visited Little Italy for a meal to celebrate my birthday. Our meal was booked for 5pm on Saturday May 13th. The front of house gentleman was very welcoming and friendly. The meals ordered were fillet steak, steak medallions, lasagne, pizza and pollo atomica. All meals were very nice and the steak meals were cooked perfectly to the order request. However, both steak meals were extremely salty. My husband and son who had the steak meals were happy to eat them though. However, we felt frustrated, disappointed and stunned at our waitress' reaction to our comments on the steak. On asking us if everything was ok with our meal my sister began to say that the steak was salty. During my sister's brief explanation, the waitress walked away! The waitress never responded at all. We all thought she would come back over. She didn't. She carried on serving other tables. No one responded to our feedback. Little Italy is a cosy welcoming restaurant generally with great food. Sadly on this occasion the lack of professionalism demonstrated by a mature member of staff was extremely disappointing. We are likely to book an alternative restaurant next time.

I've been fortunate enough to visit all regions of Italy many times through work and leisure consequently this being my favourite country you can guess my love of its cuisine. So, when greeted by the gregarious, smiley restaurant manager MAZZA can you imagine my surprise when he announced, ‘I’m not Italian I’m Scottish’!? He’s actually a native Yugoslav from Belgrade..... Anyway, this guy, his head chef Ashley, the restaurant layout and their entire team could be teleported to central Milan in a heartbeat and be an instant success. In fact, this is one of the finest Italian restaurants I’ve ever dined at, I’d go back tomorrow. They served us my favourite fish Red Snapper whole, with the most succulent freshly caught King prawns, a perfect pizza and a tasty tiramisu. A fantastic experience, Dumfries should be proud.

Little Italy is a lovely Italian set in dumfries. It is located slightly out of the town but on bus routes and 2-3 mins in the car/taxi from town centre and even less from the train station. Unlike some other Italians in Dumfries's, Little Italy has an Italian feel. The building itself is a large two story conversion with very high ceilings. The lighting is low and tables are candle lit. If possible ask to be seated upstairs. You can watch your food being made through a glass panel and in my opinion is just a nicer area than downstairs. The food is great! I always go for the pizzas as they have a lovely thin crust! Good wine and beers consist of Moretti & Peroni. I'm not a dessert person but I always have dessert at Little Italy. Their sticky toffee pudding is great! I would definitely recommend Little Italy.

Staff are excellent, attentive, prompt and friendly. Our dishes included pork ribs, spaghetti and meat balls and salmon with tagliatelle pesto during our initial visit, then prosciutto wrapped asparagus, cod and scallops on polenta and prawn and scallop spaghetti on our return.

Before I start the food was good and well cooked. The disappointment was the attitude and embarrassment from one of the staff. My husband chose the ribeye steak and was struggling to cut with the table knife. I asked a young waiter as he was passing the table for a steak knife. Immediately the "front of house" waiter who was serving an adjacent table swiftly turned and said "the knives are universal and should cut the steak, so try it!" So then my husband demonstrated the use of the knife with the whole of the adjacent table watching, we both felt very uncomfortable and belittled, if that was not enough the same waiter asked me if my knife was sharpe enough in a patronising manner, when I was not eating steak. As the "universal" knife did not cut the steak, we were then brought a steak knife. Why was there any question? Why was the response not "yes no problem"? Very poor customer service in my eyes, what was a special occasion for us, our meal was spoilt!! We will not be back in a hurry, if ever again!!

We made a reservation by telephone and were warmly greeted on arrival by our waiter. We were shown to a round table which had six chairs and laid out for our party of four.Service was very good and our drinks were served promptly while we deliberated over the menu and specials page.There was ample choice on all courses and we all agreed that the food was great!

Warmly greeted and led to our table which was slightly crushed in next to the fish tank. Food was good and nicely presented. Only issues were portions too large (for us) and much too much meat. My venison fillet (three pieces) was served with liver (two pieces), pate wrapped in filo pastry and chorizo. Accompanied by a very rich sauce. Lovely but way too rich and too much. Will go again but reconsider the menu and go for something lighter.

This is our go-to restaurant in Dumfries when we're treating guests to something special or spoiling ourselves. We have been here six or seven times since moving to Dumfries and it has never once let us down. Great menu, lovely atmosphere and fantastic hosts and staff.

We go regularly and have never been dissappoined. There is a good varied Italian menu of pasta and pizzas but it is the weekly specials we usually go for as the Chef is outstanding and they vary a lot but always tatse great. Service is excellent to.

The food was really nice and staff were friendly and helpful. I read on trip advisor before we went that the background music was a little loud - it was! It felt a little like being in a night club and I wanted to ask them to turn it down but I didn't want to be rude. The food came and was delicious.

Would highly recommend this place and next time we visit we will be back.

Great experience! We were greeted warmly by the owner who accommodated us, even though we hadn't booked. Spoilt for choice by the extensive menu on offer! Will definitely be recommending this little gem to others.

I was taken here by a friend as a treat between Christmas and New Year and can honestly say that it as definitely the best meal i have ever had in Dumfries. I had a prawn starter with butterfly prawns served on bread and they were absolutely delicious, i then had a seafood pasta which again was fabulous. The restaurant was laid back and very welcoming with families with children eating alongside couples and older groups. I cannot fault this place at all

food very low average if you like authentic Italian, service usually friendly but house wine needs to be avoided. It was brought in a carafe and we were not allowed to see the bottle after asking what it was. It tasted like vimto with a dash of vodka (or how I'd imagine that to taste)

Went with friend for lunch. Restaurant very quiet which is not quite a usual to see. The staff give us a Chistmas lunch menu with option dinner menu. I choose 2 courses lunch £22 Over all I was not quite impress with what I have been serve.( prefer their normal lunch menu much more better) bill came over fifty pounds for 2 which we only order soft drink each.) Christmas lunch menu far too expensive...

Visited twice this month. With brother and his wife - an excellent visit! And as an elderly couple a few days later. Again, an extraordinary experience. I had the Scottish Award-winning venison meal and partner had sea food. Made to feel welcome by Robert and attentive staff. It was my birthday and, although we did not mention it to anyone, the service could not have been more perfect had we done so. Just had to send an Email direct to 'L I ' that evening to express our thanks. Well worth your time to visit to this Dumfries restaurant, which is swiftly climbing the local popularity charts. PS. Book ahead!

We have been here a few times with family and the food is brilliant! The waiting staff are so lovely and friendly also. I had bruschetta asparagus to start then spaghetti gameberetti which was to die for. For desert I had pink champagne sorbet which was something else!! Everyone enjoyed they're meal, and that was just for lunch! I love the atmosphere of Little Italy as well. We will definitely be back again in the not too distant future :-)!!

This gem of a restaurant is well worht a visit. We would love to call in again some time.

My partner and I arrived without a reservation so we were seated in the downstairs restaurant as upstairs was full. This was fine as we were happy to be accommodated, but the downstairs isn't as special an environment as upstairs. After our starters, the owner came over to say that a table was now available upstairs, and he arranged for our mains to be served there. He personally took our drinks upstairs and escorted us.The decor upstairs is homely yet romantic. Lots of pretty lighting, artwork, and authentic details. A pizza cutter arrived with our pizzas. When I requested a garlic dip, I was given four wee tubs at no extra cost.Our pizzas were delicious. Mine had chilli peppers which provided just the right amount of heat. My side of onion rings were excellent, no grease at all.I loved how attentive the owner was, making sure the place was running tip top. He was happy to get stuck in and take orders, etc. Upon paying, he came over to thank us.All in all, a great experience. Thank you!

Popped in for an early pizza takeaway and with a simple pizza menu the choice wasn't difficult and each pizza was good, fresh and devoured by all! We will return and explore the menu further.

We'd decided to head out for an Italian meal on a wet Thursday night in Oct. Who knew we should really have booked as we were turned away from a couple of places. Luckily Bruno's were able to fit us in (we promised to eat quickly!). I had a special starter, cod and prawns in tempura batter with a gingery dip which was delicious, and quite a large portion. The I had a seafood pizza, probably the thinnest pizza I've ever had in the UK. It too was delicious, even if I couldn't do it justice after my large starter. No room for dessert. The staff and service were great. We got a surprise when the bill arrived as we had a discount - my husband had ordered the pasts & pizza deal without knowing it. Excellent all rounder.

Lando's Restaurantlocation-icon41 Hanover StreetItalian

A serendipitous meeting with a man in a sauna in the North West castle hotel led to dinner at this great wee Italian restaurant in Stranraer. I commented that there appeared to be a lack of decent eating places in the town. The nameless man ,a local, suggested Lando`s where he and his wife had eaten many times . The vibe is warm and welcoming. We had the Seared King Prawn starter which came in a delicious spicy sauce followed by San Rocco pasta for me and Rigatoni Filetto Salsiccia for my husband. The fillet steak was of excellent quality, tender and tasty and my generous pasta dish was full of flavour .A bottle of reasonably priced red wine completed the experience. Service was good and very friendly. We would go there again if we are ever in Stranaer.
