Best Italian in the area! Owner Sandro is from Puglia, hence Pugliese speciality panzerotti being the star of the menu. It's like calzone but baked or lightly fried. Also special here are the sweet baking treats. Canoli are my favourite😋 Service friendly & efficient. Coffee and desserts excellent. Seating includes garden sheds outside with picnic tables and infrared heating - ideal Covid-secure private dining if someone has weak immunity. Disclosure: I did photos for the business once in the past.

We had been meaning to visit here for ages and boy were we glad that we did! We had the famous Panzerotti which came with fries and 2 soft drinks. We couldn’t leave of course without taking home some of the canolis too. Everything was perfect. From the friendly, knowledgable waitress to the delicious food and reasonable price. We definitely plan to return again and would highly recommend.

We've enjoyed a few lunches at Panzarotti on our travels to Forfar and it never disappoints. It's a lovely wee cafe/restaurant but they have adapted the front to have little heated huts so you can eat outside whatever the weather and also bring your dog! It's charming that each are named after a different area of Italy. We enjoyed a tasty pizza and fries, and a mushroom Panzarotti with delicious vegetable soup. All served promptly. The value for lunch was great, especially given prices across the board are going up. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!! We look forward to returning soon.

Quite pricey for what it is. The lasagna was overly meaty, not to my taste. Bakery was nice but wish the items were labelled as was unsure what everything was and the young waitress wasn't very sure either. Service was a bit slow even tho the place was quite quiet. Place looked a bit dated, seats were all scrapped looked like a cat had used them as a scratching post. Overall underwhelming.

Went here with friends. I ordered the lasagne which wasn't as I expected. Maybe its how it's served in Italy but it had no bechamel sauce or cheese on so it was very dry. The canolli were nice though. We sat in the sheds outside that needed some TLC.

Not a visit but a very frustrating experience trying to order a food delivery. Phoned 3 times (5 minutes apart) and each time got ‘the person you are calling is on the phone please leave a message after the tone. No point in leaving message. I then went on their website to order and it came up with ‘Scoffables’. Had difficulty registering/log in with this outfit and gave up. On Panzerotti’s website it now says ‘we are closed’ That seems to be the case as I passed the location yesterday and it was indeed Closed - on a Saturday lunchtime.

Have been meaning to try Panzerotti for some time based on good recommendations. Have to say we were a bit disappointed. Two out of the four in our party enjoyed there main courses, the other two felt they were average, the pizza I had could have had more topping for the price ot cost. Two of our mains came 5 mins or so after the first two and the sides we ordered came more than another 5 mins later also there was a clouple of mix ups with drinks orders. Also at booking we weren't made aware we were in the sheds outside, we assumed that with restrictions being lifted we would be in the restaurant. The staff we met were all nice a helpful. Overall no major issues, just a several small things added together made it an average meal.

Our recent visit to Panzerotti was a rather pleasant one. We placed a very large order for 8 people for takeaway and the food we received was all exceptional. We did have to wait a little longer than expected, as it was incredibly busy for a Tuesday night. However, the owner of Panzerotti was very helpful and called in advance to let us know to save us waiting outside, which was very much appreciated and I was very impressed with how well he handled the situation. When we picked up the food, he was extremely helpful and pleasant and all the food we received was fantastic. Will definitely be returning and are very much looking forward to dining here when the restrictions are lifted. Thank you for a lovely meal.

My wife and I were both taken aback by the quality of food, the service and the atmosphere; first rate by all accounts. Pre-covid we both travelled quite a lot - we both unanimously thought this was the best Italian outside of Italy we have been to, a real find. Its a small, intimate place with a log burning fire and a great atmosphere, add to that first class service and fresh authentic pizza and pasta and it really is nothing short of 5 star. A must visit.

We were in the area for the weekend and looking for a light lunch on Sunday. Found this surprising café on TripAdvisor and if they were any old Scottish pizza/chippy we probably wouldn't have been too curious, but we were drawn in by the unusual availability of their namesake menu item, panzerotti! A pugliese (southeast Italy) specialty that you don't often get in Scotland - just had to give it a try, and we were very happy we did! Our food tasted authentic, fresh and homemade. I liked that there were so many choices of "toppings" (veggies, meats or cheeses that actually go inside the panzerotti), up to 3 of your choice for the same price, and comes with a small salad and portion of skinny fries. Just enough to satisfy our hunger while still leaving room for dessert. A good thing too because the Italian pastries (cannoli, aragostine, etc.) were equally authentic, fresh and delicious. You can tell because the pastry is crispy and the fillings are not overly sweet. If we lived near here, I'm sure we'd be repeat customers!

We popped in for a quick bite at lunchtime on a Saturday in November. Not overly busy, tired decor but young waiting staff seem polite, well trained and eager to please. Our order was taken in good faith and 45mins later we were given some bread and oil to eat while waiting. A further 20mins and a very apologetic waitress finally brings our order (lasagna for the mister, and panzerrotti for me and the boy). Food was okay but an hours wait for lunch with no explanation is ridiculous!

The food here was amazing and very authentic Italian. The decor maybe needs a little modernised however has a nice feel to it. The prices are affordable and worth it. My only critic would be to maybe hire both sexes as waiting staff because it makes me uncomfortable seeing only young still in school girls working with men I’m sorry I know it shouldn’t but it does.

We came on a Saturday evening and booked ahead. Out table was not ready when we arrived and the waitresses seemed uninterested. Before we eventually caught a waitresses eye to let her know we had arrived she shrugged and said ' I dunno' and then proceeded to ask another waitress who went ' oh yeah' and told us to follow her to table. She just plonked two menus down onto a table with two places set for us and carried on walking to the kitchen. No engagement, nothing!! It went from bad to worse service wise I'm afraid. It seemed like the two waitresses who were on duty were a little bit overwhelmed and maybe having a tough shift ... But still! We waited an hour and 15 minutes for our mains, however, we were deep in conversation and enjoying each others company so didn't mind that too much l. I prefer to wait rather than food before rushed out. The food was lovely, freshly cooked and tasty. No complaints with the food - just the service, which left a lot to be desired. I hope you can rectify this, as this is the only thing in my opinion that lets the place down, as the other businesses in this area have shown us exceptional customer service during our stay in Arbroath.
