We went here for an early dinner and wow, the food was delicious and authentically Italian! We can highly recommend the calamari, the ear shaped pasta with meatballs and chilli, and the tiramisu (homemade by them). The service was very friendly and quick and the backing music and setting made us feel like we were abroad. A lovely meal.

We had a reservation for 8pm tonight. Arrived 15 mins early expecting to be able to get a pre drink. On arrival a couple were just in front of us, they didn’t have a reservation. They asked waiter if they could fit them in, yes of course come in they were told. They were welcomed in. We who had a reservation were then turned away! Such poor customer service. Wouldn’t recommend, especially on a freezing night in Inverness when only 15 mins early, not enough time to go find somewhere for a drink before our actual reservation time 15 mins later! We weren’t even offered to wait inside until our table was ready. Couple without reservation were invited straight in! Fuming & cancelled. Gutted as only here for tonight. V poor.

I went with my friend to little Italy for the first time the food was just amazing! Te texture representation I had a carbonara which was finger licking, it had a little kick to it that I absolutely loved. The staff was amazing I recommend it 100% I worked at Bella italia that served frozen foods which was blunt but visiting little Italy I felt like I was in Italy getting served fresh high standard food

Came across this place after shopping in Inverness and decided to try. It was a great choice. The stone baked pizza was just lovely - crispy, perfectly cooked base, rich, deeply flavoured tomato sauce, white anchovies, lovely deli olives and capers strewn generously and the gentlest, silkiest mozzarella. Perfect. Pasta and meatballs was similarly well executed. Highly recommended. 2 × pizza Rocco Pasta with meatballs Bottle Pinot Grigio Bottle beer £79.75

It’s a small but cozy restaurant. We visited Little Italy on the 23rd of Dec. We just arrived from Isle of Skye of an 11 hour trip and we were starving. We walked straight to Little Italy. Our tour guide recommended us. Pizza and Pasta that we ordered were delicious! Service was good (lady waitress, she was nice) but the as a whole, the atmosphere, I’m not sure about this, it’s not welcoming and friendly.

One of us had the Tofe pasta (a chicken and veggie dish) and the other had Casarecce pasta (a sausage dish). Both meals tasted okay, but both melas were scant on the meat. In other words, way too much pasta and not enough protein. The atmosphere is great and our servers were very pleasant. The tiramisu was also very good. I wish I could rate the food a five star but cheating on the meat is not acceptable.

Found this little treasure online as we were delayed coming through Inverness airport so thought we'd venture into the city. Proprietor kindly squeezed us in for a booking that we made in the bus from the airport and so glad he did... lots of customers turned away as the place was full; and we could see why. Very friendly staff, amazing food, outstanding service and extremely keenly priced. On our list of places 'we will definitely go back to'

Overpriced compared to other restaurants with better food. We had cramped seating. I was in the way of the staircase to the upstairs kitchen which was unfortunately adjoining the mens toikets!!! I had chicken which was okay but a little dry despite the lovely sauce. House white was the highlight. Italian staff were brusque but the Scottish waitress was lovely (but we didn’t get her!) the revolver above my head was a wired decorating touch! Be aware the car park opposite closes at 7pm.

My wife and I walked to this one from the B&B we were staying at just up the street. We didn't have a reservation but luckily they had a small table available and seated us right away. (Tip, call ahead for a table). We got our drink orders in rather quickly but it took a while for the waiter to come back and get our dinner order. After quite a wait my salad and all of my wife's dinner arrived but not my pizza. After I got the waiter's attention he went and checked. I don't think he ever placed that part of the order. So about 10 minutes later I had a nice hot pizza. It was the volcano pizza and it was good and spicy. They apologized for the mix up several times. We did order tiaramasu and that was probably the best part of the meal. Over all pretty good.

My boyfriend and I visited here for his birthday last year and we were pleasantly surprised! We were taken upstairs which is already cramped, but there was a table of about 15/20 women who were obviously on a hen night, they were so loud that it kind of ruined our evening. But the food definitely made up for it! We both had about 4 tapas dishes each and we tried a bit of everything. I remember the pork with a mustard sauce - AMAZING. Also the squid (or octopus?) little pasta things and they were delicious too. For dessert we both had gelato which was moreish! Overall we had a really good meal which made up for the cramped/noisiness. Maaaybe a little overpriced for what you get, but I guess it's because it's tapas.

Decided to dine at Little Italy Prosecco and Tapas Bar for my birthday as loved their tapas, however on arrival we were given the "new" menu which no longer offered tapas dishes. This was a massive disappointment. The "new" menu offered the usual selection of Italian dishes and what we had (calzone & pizza) was fine but offered nothing different to the chain restaurants. I should've gone to Pizza Express and taken advantage of the free bottle of Prosecco voucher they sent for my birthday! Probably won't be back.

I dinned at the Prosecco bar with friends when it first opened, and thought to return. Worst decision ever. We were greeted with a grunt and shown to our window table, we then watched our server walk out the door and have a cigarette right outside the window and chat to fellow colleagues, no offer of drinks or menus given. We waited 15 minuets for a server to come over to see us. While we waited for our food, a server took starters to our table, but it wasn't our food, it was for the table next to us, she rushed back and picked them up, then gave them to the correct table with out even apologising! We then watched our starter courses go to the table next to us!! What a mess, very poorly trained staff especially for a quiet night with 5 tables on the go! The same thing happened with our mains, we received to many dishes and the server cam back to take them away to another table. Imagine if we had touched the dishes! Still, once again no apology. We quickly left after that! The restaurant was overall dirty with dead flies covering the window sills and tonnes of food debris in-between the table joins - Very off-putting, we wont be back!

We arrived one quiet evening and were taken to a seat upstairs. I love the decor but its very feminine and cramped so won't be everyone's cup of tea.There was only another table occupied with two young girls who'd obviously been in for quite some time trying every cocktail they make. We actually felt like we were intruding and interrupting the flirting between the 2 girls and 2 members of staff. A manager from downstairs came up at one point and was witness to this so was very disappointed that it was left to continue. At one point I actually heard myself say 'sorry to interrupt you' as the waiter was sitting at the girls table.However.....The good was great. Loved the tapas dishes. Lots of great seafood and I loved the chips with garlic mayo, could happily sit in there eating them all night long. We had a couple of cocktails to start with then moved onto prosecco, I'm not a fan of wine but advised the waiter of this and he brought a lovely sweet one.I would go back if in the area as the food was great.

We've lived and dined in Inverness for over 25 years and the choice and quality available across the area has improved year on year for all that time and has never been better. But there are a lot of touristy-oriented places and a lot of places still heating up frozen meals supplied by big catering suppliers.We've been back to Little Italy four times in the past two months. They've all been good visits - last night's was extra fun. Being locals its refreshing to be taken away to Italy, with Italian owners and staff serving excellent Italian food - we just share 4 - 6 dishes each time and it seems great value to be stuffed full of good food for 30-40 quid - you'd end up spending more than that at one of the chain restaurants for stuff you could just buy in Tesco's frozen food department. The dishes do indeed come as they're prepared so may be a few minutes apart but you just tuck in to the first few and it feels like Christmas as more arrive and then you realise you're ordered too much and start to feel over full and know it';s time to stop.It's quite a cramped, busy restaurant with excellent friendly staff which again adds to the atmosphere. Last night we ordered a bottle of prosecco and ended up on the Grappa dancing in the bar (at the invitation of the owner! - well, I think that's who he was) and outside with a few other diners who had stayed for a night cap and we felt like we were on a holiday in the Med, not in Inverness and back to work next morning. That's quite an achievement.

The next day! we have since visited regularly and must have worked our way through the whole menu. Everything served is fresh and made from the finest ingredients. The Prosecco is rather too good (and I assure you we have tried quite a few types) and we have on occasion found ourselves having to remortgage the house because we've got carried away but always worth it! Staff always friendly and interested in what you are up to. Having written this I've now decided we're going back......tonight.

Me and Herself made a spur-of-the-moment decision to do the Ladies Who Lunch thing and opted for the Italian tapas. We've had dinner there before so knew we'd be satisfied. This was even better! Three tapas dishes each for £13.99 per person. Really tasty and imaginative menu. Try the filet steak with mozzarella. Wow! The chicken dish was really tasty too and the mussels and sardines were perfectly flavoured and presented. The staff were warm and cheery without being in your face and the atmosphere was relaxed but efficient. We didn't hanker after Prosecco because there was draught Peroni on offer but I'm sure if we'd wanted some, it would have been supplied. Thank goodness Inverness is attracting some competitive and interesting food experiences. And, at last, some convincing tapas.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful, the service quick and efficient, allowing you time to enjoy your food. The only complaint we had was our table which was situated at the door ! We went on a Friday night, our table had been booked for a few days, the restruant was extremely busy, we lost count of the number of people who came in and out each time the door opened and closed there was a draught!!! It may be nice to sit there in the warmer months but certainly not in cooler months. It will not put us off going again but I would request another table.

Came with friends, very quaint little restaurant, drinks order taken quickly...we ordered a lot of tapas but asked for suggestions from the waiter on each option..recommendations he gave were delicious. It shows that the waiter knew his menu! We did have a chicken and pesto pizza missing, but we got that rectified very quickly, it was kind of saving the best to last! No doubt everyones favourite so we ordered another!! It was a busy Saturday night, we were seated downstairs, on going to the bathroom upstairs I noticed it was pretty packed and noisy. Quite glad we got downstairs, a lot quieter and we got to mingle with the staff more which made it a bit more personal, so maybe a tip if you are booking to try and get seated downstair.

The place is small and incredibly noisy, the staff struggle at english and not much cross over. They have lost the personal touch with the orders (as they use a till to place orders with the kitchen) and don't cater for personal diets.

A great addition to the city's culinary establishments. A friendly welcome and attentive service was experienced throughout our fantastic lunch.The tapas is extraordinarily tasty and the portion size very good too. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced for what is served. I am very confident it would not matter what you chose to have here it would all be prepared fresh and would send your taste buds into a frenzy of delight!

Don't bother trying to book by phone. Spanish staff who speak poor English. Rude and unhelpful. There are other restaurants in town.

Dropped in without a reservation earlier today after trying the other Little Italy a week or so ago. The restaurant is small but cosy, with a fairly authentic Italian feel. The menu is somewhat limited but I felt fairly capable of ordering from the Meat/Seafood/Vegetable options. Ordered the salmon tapas and the meatball tapas. Both arrived very quickly and an empty plate was offered. The tomato sauce with the meatballs was excellent and the mixture of nuts and gorgonzola wrapped in salmon was fantastic. Special mention must be made of the chorizo in red wine sauce my friend had- easily the best chorizo I have ever eaten.Well recommended, 4 tapas plates and two beers for just over £20. Excellent value.

Beautifully presented restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent wine list. We ordered a large selection of tapas and all the dishes were amazing. I would recommend this restaurant and will be back very soon.

We popped in here on a miserable Sunday afternoon after some shopping with some friends. We've already visited Little Italy so this new venture has a lot to live up to. What a great place! Downstairs was full (at 2.30pm) so we were put upstairs in a lovely lounge. It is a small restaurant but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character. Gorgeous decoration - I love the multi coloured chairs - and extremely friendly staff. Our waitress was always nearby to help but never overwhelming. We had about 3 tapas each and shared them between all 4 of us, which was perfect. A great selection of veggie, meat and fish - you can't really go wrong! I was delighted to see the Little Italy speciality meatballs there too.. you have to try them :-) It came to just over £60 for all of us, including a couple of glasses of wine. We never tried the desserts as by then we were already full but there seems to be a decent selection. All in all, a great addition to the Little Italy family. The original restaurant (just 2 doors away) is great for a romantic meal but the tapas and prosecco bar is a different experience but equally deserving of the same amount of praise. Beautiful food, lovely surroundings, staff who know their stuff (our Italian waitress was delighted to offer her advice on which bread to choose to match our meal) and all for a great price. Invite your friends and make an evening of it! Just don't tell too many people or getting a table will be a nightmare!

We have visited a number of times and cannot fault the food or service. The food is delicious and perfect for sharing (or not!) and has options for all sorts of tastes. We are working our way through the menu. The meatballs are moreish and the garlic prawns are some of the best i have tasted. My favourite is the fish carpaccio with truffle oil and parmesan, yum! Have sampled a few of the prosecco options and have been really impressed. The service is always very friendly, and we always feel very welcome. We have enjoyed nights here as a couple and with groups of friends. Always leave with a smile and a full stomach. We'll be regulars!

I've been fortunate to live and work in italy for a few years and i can't believe on a recent trip to Inverness i found this little gem. Forget delphine605 review, this place is up there with some of the best restaurants i've dined in. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly, smiling and attentive. The tapas for myself and my wife (vegetarian) were first class as was the prosecco. I understand they've only recently opened but the service was seamless and there was a nice buzz around the place. Intimate but not claustraphobic with the decor quirky but traditional. All in all highly recommended and i can't wait to return to inverness.
