Pane e Vino in East Renfrewshire

Popped in here for a latte and cake today, had a Latte and a piece of Pear and Chocolate cake, cake was delicious but the latte could have been bigger and warmer as the latte was very small cup. Nice but a bit expensive

Excellent italian cafe. Best in Glasgow by far! None of this “chain” feel and restricted times eg two hour slots. You can dine for as long as you like and the staff are lovely. The bad reviews are only because people have no patience to wait for their food and are used to chain restaurants like DiMaggios,Toni Macaroni and Pizza Hut etc which are basically fast food restaurants with crap plastic food. The people who are looking for bigger coffees have obvs never been to Italy because in Italy they serve coffees in small cups. Again people are used to large coffees from Starbucks or Costa where they serve coffees using mouldy coffee beans. Pane e Vino are not like this. They make their food from scratch with wholesome ingredients and use organic coffee beans for their coffees. In fact I have been all over Italy and I would say they serve some of the best coffee I have tasted. If there is a wait for food then it’s only because they are cooking the food and not microwaving it. This place is a top class authentic establishment and very typical of a cafe in Italy. The food is to die for and the wines including house wine are fantastic. They even do a pasta and wine deal for £20! I’m sorry but the people who leave the unjust reviews have no class because this is a hard working restaurant and they do not deserve to be slated. Keep up the good works guys 👍🏻

Visited today. Superb ministrone soup (I know that might not say much... But it was really good). Also really good sandwich with artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes and other stuff. Really tasty. Found service to be good and very friendly and when I asked about the suitability of the deli items for a vegan they went out of the way checking numerous items - I felt they went out of their way to be helpful and I appreciated the effort. I'm not over that side of Glasgow often but will definitely go back if I am.

We have visited this cafe many times. It is our go to place for an authentic Italian meal. Firstly, we love the ambience and feel of this place. It really feels like you are sitting in a cafe in Rome or Venice. You are surrounded by so many tempting Italian gourmet foods and wines of exceptional quality. We rarely leave without indulging ourselves in purchasing some. Secondly, the food is outstanding. It is freshly made according to your order. That necessarily means that you have to wait for it to be made, but the food would just not be so good if it was pre-prepared or sitting stewing in a pan for hours. The menu is not extensive. No jack of all trades here. What they do, they do really well. The fact that the food is made fresh and with quality ingredients means that even a simple spaghetti pomodoro is to die for! Plus the time taken simply allows you to acquaint yourself with the goodies on offer all around you! If you’re lucky the vegetarian home made lasagne will be on the menu. Thirdly, the wine is outstanding. The house wines and those on offer in the menu are simply delicious and good value. However the plethora of wines for sale all around allow you to experiment and not be constricted by those on the menu. The corkage charge is very reasonable. Fourthly, the cakes and desserts are just so good and tempting, that we have yet to be able to resist having a desert at any visit! Fifthly, the coffee is outstanding. The barista has dialled in the coffee to the machine expertly. No bitter tasting coffee here, just exquisitely smooth and flavoursome coffee. We like the fact that the americano comes as an espresso shot with a jug of hot water so you can tailor the coffee to your exact taste. Last but not least, the service is attentive and friendly. It is nice to frequent an establishment where the staff and owners recognise and acknowledge you, and if not too busy, find the time to chat to you. Top tip they have a special deal during the week for a pasta and a wine for a really good price. Best to check though as it can be busy.

Arrogant and will not take responsibility. Took my partner here as she had always wanted to eat in a wine bar. There was a deal on for antipasto and a glass of wine which suited us. We said to the server she had a nut allergy which we heard him mention to the chef, I heard him mention there were lots of ingredients so tell her it’s fine. When the meal came, there was ham on the plate that contained pistachios and therefore there were pistachios over the plate, when we asked the server she took it back and we overheard him complaining we should have told him. After simply removing the ham we were then eventually offered for a new one to be made, we then heard him slamming about clearly unhappy, this made us feel very uncomfortable so we decided to leave. When we went to leave he complained he didn’t know and we explained we heard the server ask and his response which he neglected to accept and could only say why would I say that. Very disappointing, we won’t be back.

Very disappointed with our trip tonight. Went in for some drinks and snacks, server informed us that there was a deal of antipasto and wine. This sounded perfect, so we ordered. At the time of ordering we asked the server if there were any nuts in it, we heard him ask the chef? Owner? Who replied that it was fine. When food came there was pistachios on the plate. Servers very apologetic, but when they returned to chef he was openly very unhappy, telling us we should have told him. We explained that we did, and we over heard the server. The chef/owner made us feel extremely uncomfortable in an already scary situation (as I had began eating). Discussing attitude towards ourself and staff. Will not be back

Poor service good food in a nutshell. The service was awful young staff who didn’t know the menu or wines. Food was good above average but that’s about it really which is sad to say as has great potential. On the plus side the 1 glass of red I had was excellent

Lovely chilled atmosphere with both food and wine at goid value prices. Will be back👍

Wonderful food and brilliant coffee served to you by lovely friendly staff. If you haven't been here, go now, you won't regret it. Update, now that there is a bit of local competition, pane vino has upped it's game. New menu items, amazing pre made sandwiches to quicken up service and loads of local produce. Still amazing!

What an awful manager. The male manager spoke to his young teenage worker like dirt. I absolutely can’t stand seeing young kids in their first jobs being treated like rubbish. The food was below average and the prices above average. Poor service from the manager Excellent service from the teenager. Disappointing and won’t be back.

Quite pricey (£4.80 for toast), but very tasty. Friendly staff and nice surroundings.

Lovely coffee and cake on a cold day

Italian vibe and friendly staff

£4.20 for tiny coffee and half was full of froth - won’t be back

Visited here for a coffee and cake with my mum and dog. We sat outside, and as soon as the waitress came out (this took about 15 mins) she told me my cockapoo was not allowed on the chair - except he wasn’t on the chair, he was on my lap. Totally understand if he was on one of the cheap red plastic chairs but he didn’t even touch it. Least “dog friendly” place I’ve been to. My mum mentioned he was on my chair and not my lap before I got to say it, but she ignored us. She then proceed to make us get up and move the table for literally no reason. We ordered coffee, hot chocolate and cakes, waited around another 15 mins - coffee was very small and overpriced. Hot chocolate was cold. Definitely not worth the money, not a nice atmosphere and I’ll be happily visiting Grain and Grind next door where the coffee is much nicer and I don’t get told to get my own dog off my own lap :)

This is an appalling business! I have since read many awful reviews on Google and TripAdvisor which highlight the rude man who appears to be the manager. We visited for coffee. First of all, the deli is dirty and unkept. The staff appear to be young and inexperienced, they are clearly not trained and are in fact belittled by the older man who again seems to be the manager. This is uncomfortable in itself and a horrible way to treat staff. There was a customer waiting for vouchers, who followed the manager around the restaurant as he had been waiting and was keen to be served. He was then passed to another younger staff member who was unsure on how to take payment. This was witnessed by myself and likely by the other customers. Another customer was told there were no cannolis as the ones on display were off/out of date and we could also hear conversations behind the counter from staff looking for utensils & milk etc. Overall very disorganised, unprofessional and generally unpleasant. We waited more than 20 minutes for two coffees. I was served a horrible iced coffee that was mostly milk and definitely not the high quality Italian coffee that they advertise. I could hear the girl behind the counter asking what was wrong and it was clear she had not been given adequate training. The coffee was remade but by this time I was entirely put off and probably should have taken the initiative to walk out. The coffee came back in a regular latte glass, had been shaken in a cocktail shaker and the ice had been removed. Not what you expect nor what I had asked for. I was told the coffee had been tried and was lovely! Horrifying to think the manager had put a straw in my coffee and tried it for himself let alone tell me with confidence. When I handed him the coffee back explaining there was no ice he took the opportunity to patronise and degrade me. He tried to tell me that an iced coffee can’t be served with ice in it as it would just melt and turn to water and that he wasn’t happy as he’d just wasted two coffees which cost him money. He also asked me to explain how I would usually have my coffee and what I expected. I was then told if I’m going to order I must be clear on what I want and I’m probably better off just going back to wherever I usually go. He was right about the latter as I will continue to visit grain and grind next door which is a phenomenal coffee shop and boycott Pane E Vino. The man who runs this business should be ashamed; his manner is horrifying and the way he spoke to both staff and myself was awful. It’s worth adding this business is situated in Giffnock which is an affluent area with lots of competition. I will be encouraging people to avoid this business as I’m confused to why it’s still operating.

Great little cafe, hot food can take a little while to arrive but we'll worth it Quality of the deli meat is unmatched, the salamis are all so good, and the mortadella is incredible Was expecting the nduja and picante pecorino to be a little spicier, but was delicious none the less

I met a friend for brunch. The food was very good however we waited a while for our order to be taken. The restaurant was busy which may gave been the reason.

Waitress never stated they only do scrambled eggs plus only asked for 1 slice of toast and got 3 slices. Scrambled egg was very bland unfortunately. Young waiter was very nice and polite. Cappuccino and latte were nice. However what has really put me off was when I was eating my breakfast a customers dog pooped on the floor (diorreah) she only wiped it with a napkin leaving diorreah skid marks on the floor then walked out with her friend. I don't think dog's should be allowed into the restaurant for this reason. Felt sorry for the waitress having to clean up a customers dogs diorreah. For this reason I personally wouldn't go back unless dogs are kept outside. Last thing I ever want to see when eating breakfast put me right off. I hope the customer of the dog is utterly ashamed of herself too busy on her mobile phone to properly clean up her own dog's mess.

We ordered a penne pomodoro, garlic bread and a tuna salad. We washed them down with a 2015 Barolo chosen from their store collection. Everything was outstanding! I mean really outstanding. The penne was obviously freshly made and fantastic and the salad was not only wonderful but had an interesting and extensive mix of ingredients. The Barolo was very reasonably priced too and the corkage charge was only £7 which is way better than many other such establishments. The food was simply wonderful and the wine a perfect compliment. The shop allows you to have an extensive choice of wines to choose with your meal and experiment rather than be constructed by what is offered in the wine list. The two desserts were to die for. Fantastic profiteroles and a to die for cheesecake, with an outstanding coffee (an americano (a shot of espresso with a separate pot of hot water so you can have the coffee just the way you like it (I love that)) and hot chocolate. The premises have a really nice feel and ambience. Feel as if you are in Italy. The service was impeccable also. We had a nice quiet table and the young lady who served us was attentive but not overbearing. We bought some more wine and delicacies from the shop when leaving. We consumed them the next day at a sunny picnic. If you like dessert wines, the La Bella Estate Moscato passito is a must try!

Talaggio with Truffle (no.4) on focaccia is the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Simple and delicious! Coffee was great. No fuss service...asked to take an order away and the staff sat me down. Lovely atmosphere...busy outdoors and in.

I met a business colleague at this place for coffee. I was early so sat inside with a coffee. I have to tell you that I was made to feel really uncomfortable by the man who appeared to be the owner. He decided to outwardly and openly tear strips off a female member of staff. His approach to reprimand was brutal and if I was the female member of staff, I would have walked out the door. Nobody should be treated that way in private let alone in full view of customers. He was way out of order. I for one, will never set foot in there again and I hope that staff member finds a new place to work where the owners have a modicum of respect for other human beings.

I have been there twice now and the lady is so lovely! I got free chocolates, the wine is delicious and the food is amazing! Definitely a go to place in Glasgow! Unsure why there is bad reviews.

Favourite spot in Giffnock. They have a great deal for dine in during the week as well

Had a lovely lunch today at Pane E Vino. We'd asked if they sold green peppercorns, but they didn't sell them. Very thoughtful of the owner to then give us a wee pot of peppercorns from his own stock, going the extra mile. We always love coming here for coffee, and really felt looked after today Thank you!

Abrupt staff, shocking service, cold food. Would highly recommend staff training on customer service!

We came here on a Saturday and ordered 2 take away sandwiches. We stood and waited 35 minutes for the Sandwiches. We were told it was very busy only after ordering and already waiting 20 minutes. The sandwiches were about £7 each. They were not good. I have attached a photo.

Nice bijou traditional Scottish Italian cafe/deli. Pasta, snacks and (home made?) cakes . Lots of Italian deli products. Friendly staff, Al fresco option, good coffee. Very popular at lunch

Absolutely shocking service today and it’s not the first time, gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned but was left dissatisfied. Waited 20 mins (after them making my coffee) for the woman behind the counter to put a piece of cake into a box, 3 other people who came in after me got served before me (with larger orders) and the attitude from the woman serving was terrible, also made the wrong coffee, asked for 2 cappuccinos and one of them was just a regular coffee, both of which were cold from waiting about for so long. Will not be back in here.

One of the most quaint little eateries in the Southside. Lovely atmosphere, brilliant food and the staff feel like family, very very welcoming. This is my default place to go to pick up nice pastas and Italian gifts for friends and family (and a glass of wine!)

Visited for Sunday lunch with my family, thankfully we booked as it was busy with a great atmosphere. We had the most wonderful host Rob who was very attentive, especially to my year old grandson who so enjoyed Rob’s ragú sauce. Thank you Rob for looking after us all so well.

Very arrogant owner who threw her staff under the bus when our order wasn’t passed over, despite the fact she herself confirmed our order of the last portion of lasagne. Offhand, defensive apology made it worse when we asked how much longer we’d need to wait. Bottom line is we waited over an hour to be served, no apology, no offer of free coffee etc. A small offer to compensate would have saved us as future customers but we won’t be back. Arrogant business owners like this do themselves no favours. You need to realise there’s more to it than just the food. Look after your customers!!! Especially when things go wrong

Very popular. A wee cafe and deli. I found it a bit cramped, food was ok, coffee was good. Staff helpful but service was a bit slow that day.

I visited the deli to buy some higher end Italian meat for my carbonara. While I was advised that they were no longer a serving deli counter, I was nonetheless told that I would be helped out. I was referred to an older gentleman behind the counter who seized this as an opportunity to massage his own ego and patronise/belittle me in the process. An interrogation commenced about how I was intending cooking his product and he took great delight in me providing the wrong answers. It was quite an unpleasant experience and no way to treat a paying customer. The other staff I encountered were generally fine and the place has a warm ambiance. As a learning point, I’d advise toning down the arrogance of your deli man, no matter how skilled/knowledgeable he may think he is.

Never disappointed with any of my visits. Coffee and food excellent and staff are friendly.

So disappointed with the experience here today. We arrived at 17:00 by 17:45. We still were not served. The place is a shambles, so many poor reviews also on Google and I see that the owner only replies to people who have given good reviews. We were sat in eye view of the pay point, around six couples who turned up after us got served before us. That was enough and left very poor and disappointed! I would avoid.

We have given this place at least 5 visits in the space of 2 months.. As an Italian I enjoyed the look and smell of the restaurant however on each visit the service was appalling. We sat outside a few times and we waited and waited for someone to take our order. I went inside to order and was told to go back to my table and someone would take my order. 20 mins later I ordered my breakfast and it was nice. I then enquired about a cake in the display and nobody knew what it was!! A coffee,some eggs and a cake took 90 mins! The remaining visits were very similar with nice coffee, food but terrible and some rude ( usually young) staff. I don’t think I’ll be back.

Friendly staff, however, the service was abysmally slow, the cafe was moderately busy but 20 mins wait for a small order for 4 people was excessive. We decided to stay for another drink thinking the first round was atypical, but no the second round took equally as long. There were plenty of staff but most of them appeared disinterested in service. Very disappointed.

Awful service . 10 minute wait to order . 20 minute wait for a tea ! As for the sandwich that was around 45 minutes. Maybe they’re trying to break records .

I visited this afternoon because I fancied some lunch and had often thought of trying out this place. I arrived to be told that it was table service only, so I took a table outside and waited. And waited. Someone came out to clear tables, but no orders taken. After about 25 minutes one of the people 'taking orders' appeared. I attracted his attention and asked if I could order - and was told to 'Wait a minute!' Two minutes later he reappeared and took the order for a couple who had sat down some time after me. I decided to vote with my feet, and left. If you are going to have table service, then make sure there are sufficient people with sufficient organisation to make that happen. I will not be returning and will not recommend. There are plenty of places locally where one can get a lovely lunch and be treated with some kind of consideration.

Friend and I sat outside, waited 29 mins to be agnowleged, then another 20mins for our coffee's a regular customer sat down and was served right away! Awful service 😕

One of the worst places to eat. Terrible service. Could not care less. Dirty!!

Classic deli cafe. Fabulous food and drinks. Staff snd service are first class.

Little Italy in Giffnock, the cutest local wine spot, my family and I love going here. Have yet to try the food but always looks nice with generous helpings. Nice atmosphere and vibe.

אוכל איטלקי במילה אחת חוויה👍👍👍👍👍

Dreadful lunch service on a quiet day. We waited 50 minutes for a panini! No explanation or apology for our surly waitress. We were told when we placed our order there would be a 25 minute delay which we accepted but 50 minutes is beyond acceptable for something as simple as a panini! We arrived about 12.30 but as previously mentioned both inside and outside seating areas were quiet so why such a delay? On a positive note, the food, when it eventually arrived, was lovely but that was the only positive on this visit.

Small but authentic place, choice of food was limited but lovely, great sized portions, friendly staff

First time visit today Service very slow minestrone soup tasted like broth brushetta was chopped tomatoes on very well toasted bread overall quality poor not worth £35 would not recommend

Really like this place. Classic Italian deli. Went for dinner which was very informal and does the best lasagne! They also welcomed us with cannoli and coffee when soaking wet after a bike ride.

Very nice traditional Italian restaurant

Porzione piccole prezzi alti in altri posti con 22 sterline mangi molto meglio

Lovely place for lunch, staff friendly and courteous. Rumbaba is a must with a coffee 😁👍

Service, service, service.... no matter how many times the poor service I receive, I always go back to Pane Vino only to be disappointed again. Popped in on a whim whilst out a walk at lunchtime. Outside full bar one table, 2 gents sitting inside so not overly busy. Recently refurbished so unsure of ordering etiquette and eventually asked by a girl in the deli part if she could help. Said I wanted to order food to take away to which she replied "order at the other counter and there's a bit of a queue". Turned round to order and was then ignored by 2 young servers who were going between the outside and the coffee machine constantly chatting and making no eye contact. I then decided I might treat myself and sit in as one table left outside. Completely ignor and stood like a spare part so walked out. General attitude over a queue for food and others working there avoiding eye contact is just unacceptable . I went and got food from elsewhere and won't rush back. Next door for coffee for me and friends meet up if anyone suggests a catch up . I clearly don't fit their service criteria.

Brilliant place. Reasonably priced and nice food. I found the knife a bit blunt causing my panini to slip all over the plate, but that's just a trivial thing. Will definitely return when in the area.

Service was great lovely warm and friendly. I just had a cappuccino this time and as expected was nice.

Lugar acogedor y comida deliciosa

Usually busy, creating great atmosphere. I never leave without something from the shop!

Great coffee, good paninis , good service

Great service and staff. Fantastic food.

Good food, reasonable prices and friendly service. Will definitely revisit this restaurant.

Were it not for the climate you'd think you were in Italy.

Nice wee Italian coffee shop. Very atmospheric. Old style! Nice staff. Nice food!

Very good with a bustling atmosphere.

Very disappointed popped in at one for some lunch to be told no soup or food then the chef walked past and said no cooking. If they sell food why not make it available not impressed.

My Elderly Mother paid a visit last week with some friends for lunch. As they don't eat as much now they opted to half a sandwich between them and were charged £1 extra for this. I'm not sure why this charge was added but it should'nt of had. One of the ladies was on her second glass of wine taking her time when she was approached by a staff member who said are you hogging that glass of wine. Why was this said??? Were they drinking too slow for you....not buying enough. No customer should be treated in this way no matter what they order or how long there taking. You just lost a customer. That group of ladies meet once/twice a month will now take their custom else where.

Good coffee. Lovely maple and walnut slice.

First time visitors today. Fantastic food, good selection of beers and wine and lovely friendly staff.

A great wee cafe - staff are very attentive and friendly, and the food is amazing!

Was a fantastic lunch we had here during what was clearly a busy time. This place does seem to do a bit of everything. Unique place which was very authentic feeling. Our first visit and a meal with visiting family. We got the only table near the door which was a little cold but before we had the chance to ask the waiter was checking we were all Ok and closed it for us. We had to wait a while for our food but this was fine as our waiter kept checking in and brought us water and lovely Italian bread while we waited (We thought he could be the manager?but weren't sure)was visibly running back and forth amid a somewhat hectic service -and the other staff all were nice and trying their best they were maybe a little undertrained or packing experience for how busy it was. ... it was also a bit pricey while I'm being negative... But no matter what issue (overall it was very tasty- though I did not enjoy the very oily broth I ordered from the specials and was brought a replacement bowl of minestrone which was absolutely delicious. The main of chicken was delicios) all felt very looked after and valued- our coffe our food everything we were asked if we were happy and were accomadated. If he could he went and fixed it personally such as our coffees which was a little on the cool side initially.... It all felt very personal which was lovely and we were able to sit for a while as we finished our free coffees and did not feel we were being rushed out like you do in some olaces &Brother in law picked up some wine and olives that we were recommended on the way out. Yes- we were all given free coffees at the end (a thank you for all customers we were informed) ! Thank you all at Pan E Vino for a lovely time we are still talking about- me and husband will see you again to try more of you lovely Italian delights.. but maybe at a quieter time L

3 of us went to pane vino for soup coffee and cake... Absolutely dreadful and overpriced... 2 of us had finished the coffee and cake a family member sat 30 minutes waiting on soup... I ended up going up to the counter re the wait... A mature man behind the counter replied... Do you want cold soup.... Such a cheeky reply... Would never recommend this place... Also I have never written a review on tripadvisor but this was so poor I had no option

Not a huge menu for breakfast. The food is nice and the staff are lovely. A little pricey.

Walking round Rouken Glen Park - we got chatting about Italian food and then we had a notion for some nice bruschetta. We headed along to Pane e Vino in Giffnock which you'd think would be a safe bet to satisfy this craving. What a weird atmosphere this place has. Folk outside sipping wine and enjoying the sun which is a good start indeed. Wow though - quite the contrast when you walk inside to the atmosphere that is just so tense. One elder Italian gentleman on the kitchen side and another older Italian gentleman on the counter side. The staff seem so inexperienced and really look like they don't want to be there. The guy on the counter side was scolding the young staff in front of customers which I cannot stand. I appreciate all staff need to gain experience but perhaps don't put 3 youngsters on shift on a Saturday afternoon. It needed 1 less of the teens and an experienced member of staff to organise things. Granted - I don't know the shift patterns/staff situation but this was my observation. So to the bruschetta we came for. I was slightly taken aback that it was written on the board as £7.50. This is the same price for takeaway as sit in. £7.50 is up there with Sarti's city centre prices and more expensive for bruschetta than most of the best rated Italian restaurants in the city. I eat out every weekend and don't mind paying good money for good food. Ordering and paying for it was a real hassle too. This place lacks direction, customer service skills and seems to be one of those places that used to be good and the term resting on their laurels springs to mind. In the car - I was stunned by how poor the product was when I opened the container. They really didn't treat the Altamura bread with any respect at all - what a let down! A few small slices barely toasted with a heap of finely diced tomato. No evidence of toasting/grilling, lacking in olive oil, seasoning and the basil as advertised on the menu. Where on earth was the garlic that was supposed to be rubbed into the bread? Soggy bread with tomato for £7.50 - nope - I won't be back. I've had some fantastic bruschetta in Glasgow and this was the worst version I've ever had served to me. The place looks lovely but that's not enough I'm afraid. C'mon folks - you can do better.

First visit here. Will not be the last, that’s for sure! We loooove coffee but, believe me, it’s not easy to get a consistently punchy, great-flavoured coffee in Ayrshire. We popped up to Pane e Vino in Giffnock today, predominantly for a good quality pancetta to make carbonara. Again, try and get that in Ayrshire - no chance! Take note folks - quality pancetta from Pane E Vino vs supermarket “lardons” - I’ll leave you to work out what’s best - my carbonara was transformed 😉.. Whilst there we had flat whites, Pelegríno and delicious cannoli. Let’s just say we were happy bunnies! We will pop up monthly, for sure - well worth it. Ayrshire coffee shops.. Take note!

This place has seriously gone downhill in recent years. I think the main problem is the staff, who show absolutely no interest in providing good customer service. Even when it's quiet, you'll invariably see them huddled together behind the counter chatting with each other and you often have to interrupt them to get attention. Service with a smile, it isn't. Shame because Pane e Vino is a lovely little deli with a great selection of cheeses, meat, wine, etc. From speaking to others in the area, the bad service clearly hasn't gone unnoticed...

Great food and coffee, staff really friendly and helpfull

My friends & I went in for lunch friendly staff you can mix any item they have for sandwiches coffee was top notch

Poor service today waiting on coffee

This is not cheap. But it's lovely, friendly, authentic, extremely tasty and altogether a place to be.

Ordered lunch, only half of it arrived. Waiter wasn't much help when we asked where the rest of the order was. I've given 3 stars as other people's food look nice. We won't be back.

Family run, knowledgeable team, stupendous produce! Meats, cheeses and more

Excellent neighbourhood Italian deli and cafe which is an Alladin's cave of Italian food. Nice coffee and cake too!

Pleasant enough staff but appeared to be rather overstretched, waited a while and then ended up getting our own menus only to be told when they came to take our order there was a sandwich menu........ sadly wrong ingredients in my order (which was rectified) and a dry tuna panini? We have had much better elsewhere and won't rush back for food

Lovely independent deli and bistro .. Lovely food... Wish I lived closer!

Fantastic deli and even better eat in dining. Kerbside and indoor seating. Brilliant coffee. Great for eat in or take out, even party size to order. Love their panini, pasta, cakes and all the best deli food. Love this place and it keeps getting better

Love this bistro food amazing, and staff great nothing to much bother. 🤗

Delicious, authentic Italian food. Deli items available for purchase also.

Food was tasty, is a very unique decor and authentic Italian feel

Had a lovely fresh meal tonight. Would recommend x

Lovely food and charming friendly service.

Update on my review. I complained directly to the restaurant via email and the came back and apologised with 24hrs. Great response.

The owner has a great knowledge of Italian wines.

Wonderful Anti-pasti great service & lovely welcome. We will certainly be back.

Always mad busy and hectic whenever we go but has some damn good Italian wines, cannolis, beers and coffee. No messing about.

Lovely wee deli, great selection of fresh and authentic Italian produce. Fantastic selection of wines. The coffee is great as are the selections of hot and cold food in the café.

Amazing, very unique, an absolute must for Italian food lovers and the best coffee ☕ I have tasted.

Authentic food, with a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and polite. I enjoyed an antipasto and a glass of wine outdoors with my dog… it’s always a bonus to find somewhere that is dog friendly! I also tried the cannoli and Sfogliatelle 🤤 both of which were amazing! I’ll definitely be a regular now.

Went here with some friends for some brunch and was thoroughly disappointed. Staff were rude and inexperienced and seemed very stressed and agitated. The wait for food was extremely long and wasn't up to much when it arrived - I don't think £5.50 for a single sausage roll, sorry an "authentic italian pork sausage roll" is great value. This was accompanied by lukewarm coffee that had spilled all over the saucer and filthy glasses for water. Was also really draughty due to having the door open for "covid regulations" which I've seen in no other restaurant. Have no idea why this place has such a high reputation but I think it is probably because it is in Giffnock people automatically assume high quality - I'd give it a miss!

Very disappointing. I get the impression that this place, which always seems busy, feels that it doesn't need to try. It certainly appeared that way when our orders arrived. £5.80 for a pork sausage and roll delivered on a small plate, with no sides or extras is an absolute disgrace. Will not be coming back.

My fav shop at the moment for my Italian products.
