Locanda Romana in Scottish Borders

Starter was nice but that was just bread with tomatoes so nothing cooked. Main course Traditional home cooked beef lasagne..... This lacked beef mince, in fact it was more like trying and spot the mince! Plus it had a hard lump of rubbery cheese in the lasagna. Is this really Italian? I think a pint of birra moretti was priced at £5.00 but charged £5.95. Over £25 for a poor meal and a beer. Basic cooking and over priced and if you want better food then go elsewhere. Plus the main waiter guy was very impatient at times and seemed more interested in a group of customers rather than individuals.

Amazing food , atmosphere perfect .

Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant ,great food ,great atmosphere and very attentive staff.A very warm welcome for every customer wether it's your first visit or one of many .Will definitely be back ,it was one of the best meals we have had .5 Star .

Lovely service, good food, cheerful atmosphere, very clean.

The food was excellent , the staff were very attentive and the place was spotless . I would have no qualms in recommending this place to anyone .

We arrived at 6pm when the restaurant opened, it was fully booked apart from a two person table so we were extremely lucky, the Patron was very friendly and attentive to everyone who entered. There was a lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing, unfortunately we live a long way away otherwise this would be on our regular go to list.

Recent family evening meal , Fantastic .

Came in after the Common Ride. Delicious food, welcoming staff, great service. Franco was excellent. Everyone loved their dishes!

Great food and a very friendly welcome from a waiter who clearly enjoys life and wants everyone else to share the experience.

Food absolutely amazing, Franco and team were really really good and the expertise with recommending the Red wine was greatly appreciated. Will 100% be returning

We spent the night in our motorhome in the car park immediately across the road. Had a great meal here, very friendly. Unlike a lot of resaurants, the staff here seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Food was really nice. We will be back.

Best Italian restaurant in Scotland, shame it closes on Sundays

The food, service ( from all staff) and the atmosphere are absolutely first class .We managed to get in two nights on the trott and it was so worth it! It's been along time since you can go somewhere and have fabulous food like this ....not forgetting Franco the owner xx

Fantastic food and service at Locanda Romana. We were only staying in Hawick for one night - hadn't thought to book and it was full, but the proprietor suggested we came back in an hour. We returned to a really friendly welcome, great service and truly delicious food. I'm only sorry we don't live closer so we could return on a regular basis. This place is a gem.

Visiting Hawick for a few days, went to this restaurant for our evening meal. Mid week in January so not surprised to see few other diners. Service was great and very friendly and the food was delicious. Happy to recommend to everyone!

Absolutely loved everything, lovely atmosphere, great food very friendly owner/staff. Already made another booking for next week and looking forward to going back.

Fabrizio & Jason..Ace Chefs...and not forgetting Franco front of house..Quite simply ..the place to be...

Service, food and ambience excellent, couldn’t wish for more. Got a free (amazing) dessert for our anniversary. Can’t wait to come again.

The food was amazing. The service was brilliant. Also a fantastic atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more

Allways a great meal an staff are friendly 👌

Great food in a friendly atmosphere.

Really good food, happy and enjoyable atmosphere, great service and all at a reasonable price. I had the special tonight, tagliatelle al tartufo, with Italian sausage and black truffles with cream. Absolutely delicious. Thank you to Franco and his team for making it so special for my wife's 75th birthday. We'll be back.

Top notch authentic Italian, food was really good.

First time in Laconda Romana and can say I will be back more often. Lovely meal, great service and a nice night in general. Many thanks.

Fantastic Italian with really friendly staff. Food is delicious. Always a regular stop whenever I'm travelling to Hawick.

Just back from a lovely birthday meal for our Dads 70th at Locanda Romanda. Absolutely DELICIOUS pasta and sorbet, and a charmingly good humoured server who was very attentive. And good fun! Support local businesses :) 100% recommend

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent value for money. Would recommend Locanda Romana to anyone

What amazing lunch at the la locanda romana with friends, excellent food amazing customers serves. Will defo be back soon

Awfully racist and Islamaphobic owners who refused Muslims from entering due to the way they were dressed (mens Islamic attire). They lied and said it was closed when in reality in remained open for service for hours! Despicable. Edit: The audacity for this restaurant to accuse us of intoxication or substance use! Haha. We are (thankfully) practicing Muslim and do not drink, nor take drugs. What an ignorant comment!

I don’t recommend coming here for breakfast at all it was absolutely awful. Gave me food poisoning.

Do not come here if you care for your life

Staff are amazing, food is fantastic. Not much else to say 😊

Very bad customer service extremely rude and I saw a rat in the restraunt. Was very alarming.

Beyond amazing!!! The best meals we have ever had, perfect portion sizes, the staff excelled way beyond anything we've ever experienced, the food was just wow!!! My young son said that 'if there is food in heaven, this is what it tastes like'. These guys have created such a beautiful place and atmosphere that we felt like we were right there in Italy! Highly recommend this one.

Very warm and welcoming, food was fantastic, very enjoyable

Great food great atmosphere great service. Highly recommend

The best pasta I ate in UK. Seems that the chef has a degree on cooking pasta. 5 stars!

Love this place! Warm and homely decor and atmosphere, and friendly and helpful staff. No pizza here - this Italian specialises in pasta and has a great range to choose from. Highly recommended.

Very good service and good food!

Lovely food,staff were very attentive and helpful on describing the dishes first visit but we will be back!

Excellent meal and service with a smile😁

The best italian restaurant in the border!

Lovely food lovely place great service

Popped in on the off chance, and they fitted us in. The atmosphere is set off by lovely staff, then some great music in the background followed by tasteful decor. The food is delicious and we ate a 3 course with beer/wine for £60. Thank you again for a surprise non booked delicious meal on my birthday...
